Kiwanis Club of Jacksonville Beaches was founded in 1946.
The Kiwanis Club of the Jacksonville Beaches is involved in a variety of community service projects and conducts fund-raising to support our activities.
In 2008 we have partnered with Rotary Club to deliver dictionaries to third graders at San Pablo Elementary, Neptune Beach Elementary, Atlantic Beach Elementary and Mayport Elementary.
On November 6, dictionaries were distributed to all the third graders at San Pablo Elementary school. We were introduced by Mrs. Carroll Miniard, the lead third grade teacher. The children were told about Kiwanis and Rotary, how both organizations exist to serve and help local schools, and that Kiwanis and Rotary are partnering to distribute dictionaries to all third graders at the Beaches. Jim Lee, who attended San Pablo (1956-1963), presented. The children asked questions and wanted to know how the Kiwanis name came about. They were very excited about getting their own dictionary to take home. Teachers mentioned that for some children this would be their only book at home. Participating Kiwanians were Jim Lee, Charlie Bender, Hugh Patterson and Doris Barnes. Jim Lucas of Rotary assisted.
