Chartered in October 1952, the Vincennes Civitan Club is recognized as a leader among community service organizations. Projects include providing scholarships to Vincennes University students, handicapped-accessible playground equipment for local parks and the Civitan Children's Center, and supporting youth sports and citizenship education. Our club also sponsors the best radio auction in the Midwest and cooks the best BBQ you can find at the annual Spirit of Vincennes Rendezvous festival over Memorial Day Weekend. If you enjoy fellowship, excellent programs, and making a difference in your community, you are invited to join the Vincennes Civitan Club. Lunch meetings are every Thursday, 12 noon (EST) at Ponderosa Steak House, 2625 Hart Street in Vincennes. Guests are always welcome. For more information call Duane Chattin at 812-888-4164 or send an email inquiry to: dchattin@sbcglobal.net

Our 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 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 to build upon it a better and nobler citizenship.
