We invest in our counties future by investing in our children. We build literacy, social and safety skills with programs shown to be effective: Programs such as our signature Camp Kiwanis Summer Camp which just celebrated 75 years of continuous operation with one pandemic exception. Our Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program which places books in the hands of students in PreK to Grade 4 – Books they can keep in their home library. Our Reach Out and Read program which, in cooperation with pediatricians, places books in the hands of parents to read to very young children. And, our safety programs: teaching children to swim and providing car seats, bike helmets, and cribs (which prevent co-sleeping deaths).
Kiwanis Club of Ocala’s annual Sportsman’s Dinner is the sole fundraiser for all of our projects. Your contribution goes to Kiwanis Club projects such as Reading is Fundamental, Homeless Hygiene Kits, Camp Kiwanis Scholarships, and the Key Clubs of 5 high schools in our Marion County community.
We meet every Friday at noon at the Ocala Elks lodge, 702 NE 25th Ave, Ocala, FL 34470
For persons whose schedule does not permit a weekly luncheon, we have a CLUB SATELLITE that meets once a month on the first Monday at 6:00PM at Mimi’s Restaurant
