| Next time your eating out and see this sign or a blue Civitan candy box, please drop in some change. Twenty-five percent of collections are used locally to benefit the developmentally disabled, and the remaining proceeds benefit the Civitan International Research Center on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. |

FELLOWSHIP:Fellowship is an important part of any growing, productive service club. The Little Rock Civitan Club offers its members many opportunities to socialize, meet new friends and network with business associates. Working together on club projects is fun, and there is always time to enjoy the company of other members and guests at club meetings. Throughout the year Civitans plan special evenings just for fun with the members and their guests. Here are a few examples of the social events and other avenues in which the club fosters fellowship:
