Kiwanis Hartwell Committees (and What They Do)

Kiwanis Hartwell Committees

Our committees are where the work (and the fun) happens—service projects, fundraising, fellowship, and the weekly programs that keep us connected to Hart County. Here’s a quick guide to what each committee does.

Committee Guide

Blue Magoo

A weekly raffle where members can win half the pot; the other half supports the club’s service project fund.

Boy Scouts

We sponsor Troop 33 (Scouting USA) and support leaders and activities. We also sponsor Cub Pack 28 by providing the official representative to Council.

Building

Members take on building projects (decks, porches, sunrooms, etc.). Proceeds fund contributions that support kids in Hart County.

Bulletin, Website, Public Relations

Prepares the weekly bulletin, shares newsworthy items with the Hartwell Sun, posts updates to Facebook, and keeps the website updated.

Community Service

Identifies local needs and organizes hands-on projects—planning, coordinating volunteers, and partnering with local organizations.

Dance Party

Arranges musical performances (dances/outdoor concerts) as an annual fundraiser benefiting kids in Hart County.

Finance and Fundraising

Suggests fundraising opportunities; the Board oversees and approves proposals, and members implement the efforts.

Golf

Runs the Kiwanis Fore Kids Golf Tournament by recruiting sponsors and participants to raise funds for local causes.

Hospitality and Motivation

Builds a welcoming culture through recognition and events like the annual steak cookout and Christmas party—encouraging participation and connection.

Imagination Library

Supports Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library—free books for preschool children—funded through club fundraising and local sign-ups.

Interclub

Coordinates interaction and communication with other Kiwanis clubs locally and internationally as needed.

Membership

Kiwanis Hartwell focuses on growing and retaining members—recruitment strategies, engagement, and strengthening the member experience.

Hart Pecans

Leads the annual pecan fundraiser (sell 15 bags or contribute $50). The chair orders product; members store, distribute, and resell.

Programs

Coordinates weekly speakers and presentations. Members arrange and introduce speakers; the committee organizes the schedule.
