At the Southwest Kiwanis District Convention we declared that together, we move forward. Now together we find inspiration from our past, celebrate our achievements, and come together with Key Club and CKI to shape the rest of our Kiwanis year. The Southwest Midyear convention brings the perfect balance of education, socialization and service. Will you be a part of shaping the future of the Southwest and serve the children of the world?
