Smiles, smiles, more smiles, and a few tears of joy filled the air as the Line Creek Civitan Club of Peachtree City celebrated the end to another year of fellowship, service and knowledge during their annual meeting and recognition dinner.
‘Happiness Invades Peachtree City” served as a correlating theme to the 2014-2015 Civitan International President’s theme “I’m Civitan Happy.”
Several club members were recognized for the leadership efforts serving on the board of directors during the 2013-2014 fiscal year, including immediate past president Nancy Joslin and the newly installed president, Mike Lossner along with the 2014-15 Governor for Georgia, Linda Lane.
The Outstanding Civitan of the Year honor went to treasurer Julia Ivey.
Those members installed as officers for the 2014-2015 include: Mike Losner, president; Debbie Rader-Clanton, president-elect; Bryan Price, secretary; Julia Ivey, treasurer; Chuck Clanton, chaplain, Steve Kiser, sergeant at arms; Will Griffin, David Joslin, Wayne Howell and Louise Thompson as directors.

Civitan’s motto is “Builders of Good Citizenship.” This is accomplished through a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs, keeping focused on improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities. The three basic principles of Civitan (Service, Knowledge and Fellowship) are essential to fulfilling the Civitan mission and the role of a Civitan club in a community.
Civitan clubs are also involved in a variety of community service and fundraising projects, however, our most widely recognized fundraiser program is the Civitan Candy Box Project. The Candy Box Project is serviced by volunteers, and 100 percent of the net proceeds go to benefit people with MR/DD.
