WELCOME It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Greenville and the 99th Civitan Annual International Convention. I know you will enjoy the southern hospitality of this beautiful city and all the great things that have been planned for you.

Since its beginning, Civitan has been known for its Service, Knowledge, and Fellowship. At this convention, you will be given lots of opportunities to do this through workshops, seminars, Civitan Fest, the Breakthru Golf Benefit, and President’s Council.

I invite you to take advantage this week to renew old friendships and to make new lifelong friends. Enjoy your time in Greenville and take the knowledge back to change lives and make a difference in communities like yours.
