About Us

Chartered in June 2005, our club has been working to make a difference in the Kent Community for over two decades. The AM stands for Awesome Members and we live up to that every day. When asked for support from the community we find reasons to say “yes” more often than “no.”

Meetings

We meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9:00 AM at the Kent YMCA and the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM at Maggie’s on Meeker. Kent AM is a 3-2-1 Club, we encourage 3 hours of service, 2 hours of meeting and 1 hour of fun each month. There are plenty of opportunities to join us.
