We are a service club for men and women who want to be involved in community projects, develop new friendships and become better informed about our community, nation and world. Our club was organized in 1947, and has a rich heritage of service to the mentally and physically disabled. We sell Claxton fruitcakes, place Candy boxes in local businesses, and sponsor an annual Honey Baked Ham sale and Paula Dean products to support our charitable projects. We actively support projects to aid persons with mental and physical disabilities. Our activities make our community, our nation and the world a better place to live. History of the Civitan Club of Greenville

We meet on the first and third Mondays from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Presently, we are meeting at the Poinsett Club in Greenville, S.C.

Civitans are committed to meeting human needs through community involvement while providing each Civitan with experiences essential to personal development. We serve through actions which re-affirm and strengthen the individual dignity of people. We seek knowledge to carry out our responsibilities as citizens. We establish bonds of fellowship which enrich our personal lives and enable us to provide effective service. And we invite others to share our commitment to service, knowledge and fellowship through Civitan.

The mission of Civitan worldwide is to build good citizenship by providing a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs with an emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities.

The purpose of this club is to build good citizenship, promote fellowship, improve knowledge of the community, build civic pride and conscience, improve public health and safety, provide loyal support of the government, promote international goodwill, and prepare for civic leadership. Civitan seeks to make the community and country a better place to live with emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities.

Civitan is a coined word that comes from the Latin word "Civitas," which means citizenship.

Any person, male or female, at least 18 years of age, of good character and reputation is eligible. Membership dues are $80 per quarter. Yearly, this includes District and International dues, about 45 meals, and an annual awards and installation banquet which is usually held at the Poinsett Club. If you're looking for action and involvement in a volunteer service organization, move up from citizen to Civitan. Anyone wishing to join must be approved by the club.
