The Kiwanis Club celebrated its 100th anniversary on January 21, 2015, marking 100 years of dedication to the development of children and communities.
In recognising the work of Kiwanis on its 100th anniversary of service, Governor General Sir Patrick Allen declared January 21 “Kiwanis Day”.
The Kiwanis Club, one of the largest volunteer organisations globally, is dedicated to improving the world, one child, one community at a time.
To commemorate this significant milestone Kiwanis leaders from across the island joined the Governor General at King’s House to observe the symbolic planting of a Lignum Vitae Tree. This is the first of 100 trees that will be planted by Kiwanians throughout the year.
