Welcome to the Kiwi Club Website
A Message from our President...
Stephanie McCauley Butler
President 2022-2024
Greetings Kiwis,
Convention ‘Savannah Sojourn” is coming up shortly and I hope that you are making plans to attend our convention in the fabulous city of Savannah, Georgia. The convention committee has been working hard to provide a wonderful event for us on April 23-25, 2024. By participating in your chapter, attending conventions that the Kiwi Club has every two years makes the organization stronger, encourages more involvement in local chapter meetings and interest the National Board, which in turn makes for a healthy Kiwi Club.
Check out the scheduled events that will be occurring during convention week. There is a lot happening! The main reason for our gathering is to conduct our Kiwi Business, but don’t let that deter you from coming and joining in on the fun.
Thursday, April 25 is the big day for business, with the Round Table discussions on two topics: Kiwi communications; our website, social media outlets and creating a chapter newsletter. This will be given by our Website Hostess, Jill Richey Rohan. The second topic is the introduction of the new database we are looking to implement for the chapters and the National Board. Treasurer Melissa Williams McGrath will be leading that discussion.
Join us for the Delegate’s Meeting where we'll introduce the candidates for the upcoming National Board positions for 2024-2026. To see the candidates click here, or go to the Schedule and Events tab of the Convention page. Plus, we'll cap off the day with a celebratory toast to our new board members!
This is just a taste of what's in store, and I warmly encourage you to be part of this journey to strengthen and elevate The Kiwi Club. Can't wait to see you in Savannah!
Best regards,
Stephanie
Three Things You Should Know About The Kiwi Club
Who We Are
The Kiwi Club is a unique philanthropic social group. Membership eligibility consists of former and current Stewardesses/Flight Attendants from American Airlines, American Eagle (non-contracted), now Envoy, Trans Caribbean, Air Cal, Reno Air, America West, TWA, and US Airways.
What makes The Kiwi Club really special is the community of friends you'll find here. Our members often say that the best part of being a part of our club is the "fun and life-long friendships" they've made.
We can't wait for you to join us and experience all the friendship and fun for yourself!
What We Do
In addition to the fun and friendships, being a member of The Kiwi Club also means being part of a giving community. We've raised and contributed millions of dollars to various charities, including the Wings Foundation, which provides support to flight attendants in need. Since we started supporting Wings in 1996, The Kiwi Club has donated over a half-million dollars!
And if you love being around others who share your background, you'll love our local meetings and events. Check out our News-Just-In page to see some of the fun we have together.

What our Members say about The Kiwi Club
"The Kiwi monthly luncheons and the bi-annual Conventions are truly special events! They keep us connected so beautifully to the friends with whom we shared the gift of being able to travel for a living! I often find myself explaining what a Kiwi is…perhaps I talk about The Kiwi Club a bit too much?”
