Cheryl Goodman introduced Kiwanian Jeff Palmer who gave a history of the Swainsboro Kiwanis Club including the founding in 1922 and the acceptance of female members by Kiwanis International in 1987. He noted that the Club is really more like an organization than a social club; they do community service by committing time and resources to serve the community. He encouraged them to continue to recruit members who can help carry out their mission of service, and noted they need to recruit among their circle of friends and associates, promote corporate memberships, and develop promotional Kiwanis materials and activities.
