Committees
In order to carry out all the projects that Kiwanis is involved with throughout the year, each member is asked to join one or more committees.
Board of Directors:

Golf Tournament Committee:

Scholarship Committee:
The New London Kiwanis Club is unique in that every year we award 3 $3,000 scholarships to local graduating seniors that will attend a secondary educational institution. This committee reviews the scholarship applications and after a process makes the decision on three individuals to receive the $3,000 scholarship. At a later date we invite the scholarship recipient and their immediate family to dinner where we make a formal presentation of their scholarship and where we get to meet the recipients and learn about them and their accomplishments.
