The Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village was the first service organization to be recognized in Tellico Village.
On March 16, 1999 the Kentucky-Tennessee District of Kiwanis International chartered the Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Sweetwater. The Club became part of Division 4 of the Kentucky-Tennessee District.
We began with 34 charter members. Our 58 current members are from all walks of life. Their diversity and dedication are the fabric of our organization. They are committed to the following the Kiwanis Mission: “Serving the children of the world. To make a difference in the lives of children. One child and one community at a time.”
We have sponsored three new Kiwanis clubs. We organized and continue to sponsor a Key Club at Loudon High School, Loudon, TN
The Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village has succeeded in attaining the Distinguished Club Award every year of its existence. It boasts having many Kiwanis International Hixon Fellows, Distinguished Presidents, Lieutenant Governors, and one District Governor.
We are established as a “can do” club whose energies, considerable talents, and experience base are dedicated to serving, with pride, the young people and the general community, as well as to promoting overall Kiwanis International objectives.
Kiwanis of Tellico Village has close to 50 projects. Projects chosen to help children through all phases of their lives. Projects that also include our seniors and veterans. Donations from our membership, community, corporate sponsors, fundraisers and private donations make it possible for us to continue these projects.
Our fundraisers include:
Annual Golf Tournament usually held on the Saturday before Labor Day at Toqua Golf Course in Tellico Village.
Semi-annual Pancake Breakfasts; with one in the Spring and one in the Fall.
Annual Community Car Wash.

Andrew Wallace received his Amtryke October 5, 2022. What a perfect day at East Tennessee Children's Hospital Rehabilitation Center. Andrew's tricycle was the 82nd Amtryke provided by our Kiwanis Club. Andrew was born 24 weeks prematurely, resulting in serious mobility issues. The Rehabilitation Center has provided ongoing therapy to improve Andrew's motor skills. Now 4 years old, it was determined that a therapeutic tricycle configured specifically for Andrew would help continue his progress and independence. Andrew's greatest wish is to be able to play with his brothers and be a art of his families activities. The Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village has been helping families make the wish of mobility come true for their children the past twelve years. Each child is evaluated by a physical or occupational therapist to determine the specific Amtryke to best serve the child’s needs. The cost of a tricycle is typically between six hundred and a thousand dollars but there is no cost to the receiving family. The East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Rehabilitation Center has been assisting the Tellico Village Kiwanis Club’s Amtryke Project. They notify us of children who are candidates for assistance. We sincerely appreciate their support on this important project; making a difference in the lives of children. ... See MoreSee Less
Our Amtryke Presentation to 4 year old Andrew Wallace will be televised today on Channel 8 WVTL CBS at 6 o'clock.

Kiwanis Delivers 3 More Buddy Benches. This Project shows no signs of slowing. The week of August 22nd, Buddy Benches were presented at Dogwood Terrace, Lenoir City, First Steps Day Care in Oakridge and Blount County Library.
Back in the summer of 2019, our Kiwanis Club approved the “A Bench for Caps Program”. Also, commonly known as “Buddy Bench”. The ultimate purpose of a Buddy Bench is to help reduce social isolation. If a child is having a difficult day, they sit on the bench. This is a signal to others that they need a “buddy”.
Our club’s initial goal was to present one bench to one school each year. We wanted every elementary school in Loudon County to eventually have a Buddy Bench. That goal was accomplished in December of 2021. The program continues expanding; branching out into new counties and organizations. Currently we are working this program in Anderson, Blount, Loudon and Monroe counties. We hope to expand to Roane County.
Our member, Kevin Meyer, is the program’s Project Leader. He presented the idea to our club and is responsible for its success. Thank you Kevin. You are an inspiration and an incredible Kiwanian.
The bottlecaps are received from numerous sources, including community, parents, family, friends, neighbors, churches and civic groups. Sponsor donations received cover the production cost of the benches. Thank you all for making this program a success.
It takes 200 pounds of non-recyclable plastic lids and bottle caps to create a bench. Non-recyclable plastic which would have end up in landfills. Kevin collects, sorts, weighs and delivers the plastic to Greentree Plastics located in Evansville, Indiana. The company converts the plastic via an extrusion process into a bench. Kevin waits patiently as the bench is created. He drives back to Tellico Village with the finished Buddy Bench. The final steps include, scheduling presentation of the Buddy Bench to the recipient and the bench delivery courtesy of Kevin. This extensive process has taken place 20 times over the course of 3 years. That equals 4,000 pounds of plastic lids and bottle caps kept out of landfills. 4,000 pounds of plastic turned into beautiful Buddy Benches. Easing the feelings of loneliness with Buddy Benches – priceless! ... See MoreSee Less
