Please join our group

Currently, we are holding a membership drive and are actively seeking new members. Club members meet once a month for dinner, provide Christmas meals to the elderly, hold food drives, raise funds for food pantries and meal programs, and assist people with disabilities. No one in today’s world has enough time to do every activity, so individual members choose what they’d like to do and the amount of time they want to give.

A great membership get-together at the Controy Pavilion. Our No Steak Steak Bake was a definite hit at its new location on Onota Lake. Many thanks to the Vinette's for the pontoon boat rides, the highlight of the evening! Civitan fellowship at its best.

The Civitan Service Squad had too much fun volunteering as Team Leaders for this summer event. We met many friends and cheered loudly as our team athletes won the awards of the day.

Many thanks to all the members, family and friends who donated items for our Love Your Neighbor Food Drive. A helpful crew at the First Baptist Church helped us unload a pickup truck full of bags and boxes over the weekend. Thanks again for helping us support those in need in our community.

I AM CIVITAN AND I BELIEVE IN OUR MISSION.
Is there help on the horizon for people with Down Syndrome through a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease? Civitan International Research Center Director Dr. Craig Powell has demonstrated that drugs showing promise for Alzheimer’s may also help in patients with Down Syndrome. In the future, this drug may be tested to see if the treatment can prevent the worsening of brain function in adults with the disorder or whether it could actually improve brain function in children challenged by it.
