Louise looks forward to working with the Georgia District clubs. Her goal is to visit each club this year and she offers her support to everyone in the district.  The new Civitan International theme is “Enriching Lives Through Service”.  We need to remember that we enrich lives every day when we serve the community with our club projects.

Civitans are everyday citizens who come together in communities around the world to socialize, learn and serve their neighbors. Civitan has grown to over 40,000 members in 25 countries, including youth and college programs. On an international level, Civitan is devoted to improving the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities. Civitan's flagship program is the UAB Civitan International Research Center, the first institution of its kind in the United States to be solely dedicated to research of developmental disabilities.

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.
