Every two months, communications from Civitan International will focus on different ways to help members Achieve in 2020. Furthermore, each month will focus on different topics to help lead discussions and bring our members together.
October/November: How to Achieve in 2020 What’s Coming in 2020 – Civitan International headquarters have been busy creating innovative ways to better connect with our members and give you the resources you need to achieve in the new year.

Fundraising is necessary for your club to continue to give back to your community, and to our flagship project, the Civitan International Research Center.
