Cathy Tutty
Candidate for
Kiwanis International Trustee
Our Kiwanis story is simple: Lending a hand, helping each other, being in community. It's breathtaking in scope. We change lives around the globe. We change lives in our small towns and big cities.
We change lives through our fellowship.
IT'S ABOUT YOUR MOMENT - YOUR KIWANIS MOMENT! The child's face when they are recognized and loved.
I know you remember why you became a Kiwanian - your Kiwanis moment. Are we truly telling our story?
We tell our story every day through our service. Our impact on people and communities will last forever. Our stories are worth telling.

Stories about cathy...
Keiran Boyle
Capital High School Key Club Member
Helena, Montana
Cathy Tutty, or as I like to call her "Aunt Cathy" has played an instrumental role in my life. An aunt, a mentor, a relative, a leader, and most of all a friend. From her speaking roles at many varying conferences to her listening roles for all her neices and nephews,. Cathy never fails to make the people around her feel inspired and excited about living. In her Kiwanis life, Cathy lives and breathes the Kiwanis mantra, "Kids need Kiwanis." She introduced me to the Key Leader Camp in Montana and it truly launched me on my journey as a leader. I now hold public office and a member of the School Board representing my High School. In order to form better leaders like myself, you must have strong leaders to teach young people. Cathy is that leader. Kids need Kiwanis and Kiwanis needs Aunt Cathy.

Kiwanis helps by getting kids a fun recess by getting them a playground. My Aunt Cathy helped update and put in new playgrounds in Montana, including at my school. She organizes a party for the community so when the kids ride they have new helmets. She gives books to me and sister and has a library for the community on her porch. She is a funny, nice , kind, generous person and that's why you should vote for her.

As a leader for Circle K International, it is people like Cathy that make me want to become a Kiwanian. Kiwanis is the backbone of the K family and to me, Cathy is a pillar for Kiwanis. She understands the necessity of SLPs and is always ready to inspire and create with those SLPs. I am so grateful for her role in my K family so far, and the impact she has had on all of Montana Circle K and SLPs.
Cathy Cares About Kiwanis and Kids
""At a Key Leader Montana, I watched my nephew sit on the edge of his seat, absorbing every word from everyone in the space. He was curious and committed. When he got back to school, he resurrected his Key Club with 18 members at the first meeting. He evolved into a leader. I carry his thank-you note with me as a reminder that we are modeling the future for every kid." --Cathy Tutty
