April is a BUSY Month in Kiwanis!
April 9 – 11, 2026
Supplies are ordered, work schedule is printed, and the grills are heating up. What’s left? Turn in your ticket money, but don’t quit selling.
There’s still time.
A few notes for our workers:
Every member is on the schedule to work, and we realize that you might not be available on that day, so just call a friend and swap days. Also, arrive early and stay to help clean up. Wear comfortable shoes and most of all be professional, as we are representing Kiwanis. Your job might not be glamorous, but they all are important.

When Aristotle, the brightest mind of antiquity, was asked the purpose of life, he said: “To serve others and to do good.” Albert Einstein, the brightest mind of modern times, answered the same question by saying, “I must live for others, not for myself; only a life lived for others is worthwhile.” We Kiwanians must be pretty smart too, because we think just like Aristotle and Einstein
For all you trivia buffs, let’s test your Kiwanis knowledge.
Who was the first editor of the Kiwanis magazine hired at a salary of $200 per month?
Attend a meeting to find out the answer. Did you know the answer last month?
(1918 in Providence RI)
Welcome New Members
Corey Wilson is now our new Vice President and Nathan DeWall will take his place as a Director on the Board. It’s hard to believe that we will be holding elections for next year in May. If you have a desire to serve on the board let us know. An active and involved Board of Directors is imperative in the success of a Kiwanis Club.
Sustaining Memberships
The FL Kiwanis Foundation is a part of the “Big Picture” of our service. By supporting our District wide Foundation, we can touch the lives of children all over our State. It has been said:
“Alone we can do little, but together we can achieve the extraordinary.”
How can we help? Notice on your billing statement that a $25 sustaining membership has been charged which all goes to the FL Foundation to support club grants and scholarships.
See Keith to learn more and this is a voluntary charge.
Our Foundation is celebrating 55 years over service with over $3 million dollars in Grants awarded, $288,000 in scholarships, and $158,000 in Emergency Relief Funds to Clubs all over the State. Thousands of children supported by your contributions.
On April 25th we’ll join with the City of Panama City to dedicate Henry Davis Park in celebration of our anniversary. Meet at the park from 11:00 to 1:00 to represent Kiwanis and help where needed. Eric Krebs is putting together a booth for us to showcase our success and needs some more pictures of our service.

Grant Application Guidelines
Yes, Kidfest is also scheduled for April 25th, and Todd Brister is putting together our “fishing booth” and we need volunteers to help.
It will be at the Bay County Fairgrounds from 10:00 to 3:00 (or until the animal hats are gone). This is a fun event so please help with one, or all of these projects.
