What does it take to become a Kinsmen?

The members that make up the Kinsmen Club of Drayton work in diverse fields and have a wide range of skills. What they have in common is the desire to help the community and have fun doing it.

The amount of time a member puts in is his own choice. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month, 10 months of the year. There are always projects that a member can choose to help with. Five hours or fifty, each member is appreciated for what he can give! To cover costs of administration and a National & District Magazine, $70.00 per year in dues are payable. There is no initiation fee!

Although attendance is encouraged we stress that family and work come first.
