Get to know our Kiwanis partners. VISION PARTNERS Landscape Structures Inc. has been creating innovative playground equipment since 1971. Think of the impact your club could have in your community by constructing a playground as a signature project. Ask your members if giving children a place to play is the right project for your club. See Kiwanis playgrounds and find a local representative at playlsi.com. Nickelodeon’s The Big Help campaign puts kids into action to do something about issues communities face. Kiwanis clubs are encouraged to work with their SLPs on projects like Worldwide Day of Play—when the network goes black and kids are encouraged to head outdoors and help their community. Learn what your club can do to engage at nick.com/thebighelp. The U.S. Army partnership is based on a foundation of shared values. Engaging in local opportunities, U.S. Army personnel connect with Kiwanis family members and provide access to local battalion support and resources. Contact your local battalion to invite soldiers to speak at a club meeting, take part in service projects and become Kiwanis members. goarmy.com.
KEY CLUB CO-SPONSOR Rustic Pathways has more than 30 years of experience leading exceptional international education and service programs.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS Sister Cities International serves as the national membership organization for individual sister cities, states and countries across the U.S. This partnership gives Kiwanians access to more than 2,100 international partnerships, member rates on events and exchange opportunities.
