Club Activities

Meet­ings:

• 1st and 3rd meet­ings of the month (except sum­mer)
• One meet­ing: din­ner with a guest speak­er or edu­ca­tion com­po­nent
• 2nd meet­ing:  plan club, ser­vice and fundrais­ing activ­i­ties.

We also want to impact our com­mu­ni­ty.   Times, places and loca­tion we serve depends on the project.   Here is a small sam­pling of how we have helped build our Hamil­ton com­mu­ni­ty:

• Stu­dent Bur­saries and Grants.  We sup­port bur­saries at mul­ti­ple local high-schools for stu­dents con­tin­u­ing onto post-secondary edu­ca­tion.  We’ve also had the plea­sure of sup­port­ing sev­er­al youth con­tin­u­ing their edu­ca­tion and expo­sure in the arts, where tra­di­tion­al fund­ing would be hard to get.
• Nutri­tion & Food-security.  We reg­u­lar­ly sup­port pro­grams that help stu­dents get nutri­tious food.  This has includ­ed local stu­dent nutri­tion pro­grams to local food pro­grams in our com­mu­ni­ty.
• Ron Miller Com­mu­ni­ty Gar­den.  A com­mu­ni­ty gar­den open to those who want to grow their own pro­duce, we’ve part­nered this year with Hamil­ton Vic­to­ry Gar­dens, where pro­duce grown by vol­un­teers sup­ports those who are food inse­cure in Hamil­ton.
• Kiwa­nis ONE DAY.  Annu­al event in Octo­ber where clubs chal­lenge each oth­er to impact­ful ser­vice & engage­ment.
• War of 1812’s Bat­tle of Stoney Creek Re-enactment.  Our club annu­al­ly runs the con­ces­sion stand at the re-enactment to raise aware­ness and funds that we in turn use to fund projects and needs in our com­mu­ni­ty that impact chil­dren & youth.  This is a week­end event the first full week­end of June.
• Annu­al Golf Char­i­ty Tour­na­ment.  Mid-September is golf time for our club!   For 10 years we’ve orga­nized a golf tour­na­ment and din­ner in the Stoney Creek area with all pro­ceeds sup­port­ing projects & needs that impact kids.
