KIWANIS PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE
The basic objectives for all Kiwanis Clubs are the same.  They are fixed and fundamental.  They are set forth in the Constitution of Kiwanis International and are included in the Club By-Laws.
· TO GIVE PRIMACY TO THE HUMAN AND SPIRITUAL, RATHER THAN TO THE MATERIAL VALUES OF LIFE;
· TO ENCOURAGE THE DAILY LIVING OF THE GOLDEN RULE IN ALL HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS;
· TO PROMOTE THE ADOPTION AND APPLICATION OF HIGHER SOCIAL, BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS;
· TO DEVELOP, BY PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE, A MORE INTELLIGENT, AGGRESSIVE, AND SERVICEABLE CITIZENSHIP;
· TO PROVIDE, THROUGH KIWANIS CLUBS, A PRACTICAL MEANS TO FORM ENDURING FRIENDSHIPS, TO RENDER ALTRUISTIC SERVICE, AND TO BUILD BETTER COMMUNITIES;
· TO COOPERATE IN CREATING AND MAINTAINING THAT SOUND PUBLIC OPINION AND HIGH IDEALISM WHICH MAKE POSSIBLE THE INCREASE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE, PATRIOTISM AND GOOD WILL.
