President's Welcome
President's Welcome
A. Thornton Kennedy, President
The Kiwanis Club of Atlanta stands on a solid foundation. 
 
Our weekly lunch meetings regularly feature city and state leaders, innovators, captains of industry and civic champions impacting lives across metro Atlanta. 
 
We experience the fellowship of our members, their guests and our speakers at these meetings and through events like 5th Tuesdays, when we leave the friendly confines of The Loudermilk Center for Atlanta area attractions. 
 
We serve our community with our time, talent and treasure through volunteer projects with the USO, Hillside and reading to young children at Dean Rusk Academy, to name a few. 
 
Our club has donated close to $7 million since 1954 through the Kiwanis Club of Atlanta Foundation. We raise over $150,000 and distribute more than $300,000 annually to carefully vetted charities serving metro Atlanta children.
 
We have almost 200 members representing a diverse group of metro Atlanta leaders from various fields. And we have an unmatched history in our state. We are Georgia’s first Kiwanis Club, after all.  
 
All are welcome to join us as we continue our strong tradition of Learning, Serving and Connecting. We’d love to have you. 
 
A. Thornton Kennedy II
Club President
