Building Good Citizenship Since 1917

Oconee Civitan Meetings 2nd & 4th Wednesdays Oconee Civitan Constitution & Bylaws The Civitan Creed I am Civitan: as old as life, as young as the rainbow, as endless as time. My Hands do the work of the world and reach out in service to others. My Ears hear the cry of children and the call throughout the world for peace, guidance, progress, and unity. My Eyes search for others to join in the fellowship and service of Civitan. My Mouth utters the call to daily duty and speaks prayers in every tongue. My Mind teaches me respect for law and the flag of my country. My Heart beats for every friend, bleeds for every injury to humanity, and throbs with joy at every triumph of truth. My Soul knows no fear but its own unworthiness. My Hope is for a better world through Civitan. My Motto: Builders of Good Citizenship My Belief: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. My Pledge :To practice the Golden Rule and build upon it a better and nobler citizenship.

WHAT IS CIVITAN? Civitan is a worldwide, all volunteer service organization where men and women have an organized way of approaching local community problems through service and fund raising. We emphasize serving people with developmental disabilities. Local clubs are supported by Civitan International, which was organized in 1917 and spans over 22 countries. The word CIVITAN is a coined word that comes from the Latin word “CIVITAS”, which means CITIZENSHIP.
