North Carolina Civitan 

 

 

 

Civitan Cottage     Civitan and Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina, Inc. have a unique, long lasting relationship!  In 1958, when the very first cottage opened its doors on the Lake Waccamaw campus of Boys Homes, Inc., it bore the Civitan name.  From the beginning of their association the Civitan of North Carolina have been strong supporters of Boys and Girls Homes through the cottages that bears the name Civitan.  The Civitan of North Carolina make individual member and club visits with the children in the Civitan Cottage.  They make personal and club contributions and take part in refurbishing and replacing items for the cottage when needed.  They also enjoy visiting with the children of the cottage on occasional off campus trips.  Civitan has joined together to insure in perpetuity the future of their cottage, but most of the future of the children who will have the opportunity to call Civitan Cottage their home.

 

THE 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.
