Kiwanis Lt. Gov.-Elect Bart Stevens recently joined the Augusta Kiwanis Club to update members on the upcoming Kiwanis International Conference June 19 to celebrate 100th anniversary in Indianapolis, according to a news release from the Kiwanis.

He told members that a new day dawns with a focus on blending the old with the new without losing focus on serving children, according to the release. He said Kiwanis is an organization that exists from the bottom up in which individual clubs represent what Kiwanis is all about. “As the world becomes smaller and smaller, we take an active interest in all that happens, but the bottom line for most of us is trying to make a difference in the actual communities where we live and work every day,” said Stevens in the release.
