Mission

Local Civitans meet on the First and Third Thursday of the month at 6:00 at the Denny's Restaurant on Nicholasville Road. Our meetings last approximately 1 1/2 hours.       We meet to discuss upcoming projects that will benefit the community.   A few past projects have included Special Olympics, donations to schools, etc       We are currently looking for Social Organizations to assist. If you know services that we may be able to assist in please contact us or just stop by a meeting or just  stop by and  join us for fun and fellowship.
