Dedicated to helping our community and the children of the world.

Club Information.

Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Flagler Sunrise, a service club with a tradition of fun and service to the West Palm Beach Community and to the children of the world. we want your association with our club to be a very pleasurable, positive and rewarding experience - fulfilling your desires and goals to help others around you in your community and beyond. we want you to “get to know us” and feel at home in as short of a time as possible, with that in mind we created this website to give you an overview of what Kiwanis International and more specifically, the Kiwanis Club of Flagler Sunrise is all about. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about Kiwanis International or the Flagler Sunrise club.

 

Club Meetings: We meet each Friday at 7:30 am at the Airport Hilton, 150 Australian Ave, West Palm Beach for breakfast and our weekly meeting. Please click on the “Membership Info” link in the navigation bar to the left of this page for more details on our breakfast meetings. At first weekly meetings might seem to be a very big commitment of your time. We understand this and thank you for joining us even with this time constraint. You will discover that this is not the burden it first may appear to be. As a matter of fact, if you are like most of us, you will find yourself looking forward to the next meeting, the fellowship, the education from the guest speaker, and the next service project.

 

We encourage you to attend as many meetings as possible. The club is measured on attendance. "Perfect Attendance" awards are presented to members who meet Kiwanis "perfect attendance" criteria.

Attending every meeting is impossible for most of us. So what is "perfect attendance?" Perfect attendance is the term used but it really means continued participation. It means that your involvement and your relationship with Kiwanis is important enough in your life to help in a club service project, that you are interested enough in learning more about Kiwanis so that you attend another club's meeting either locally or wherever you might be visiting and it means that you and fellow members get together to see how another club operates by visiting friends in those clubs (inter-club meetings).

 

If we, as officer and board members, are doing our job correctly you will have no problem being the kind of Kiwanian that can sustain "continued participation" forever. Perfect attendance is really a measurement of how healthy a club environment we have here at Kiwanis Club of Flagler Sunrise.

 

 

Club Bulletin:
This club is in the process of developing an electronic newsletter to keep the membership apprized of club activities. It will be emailed to club members or can be accessed through the “members only” section of the website.

 

 

Service Projects:
As a "Service Club" one of our main reasons for existence is to provide service to our community. Throughout the year you will be offered a wide variety of projects to help with. You will not be able to help with them all, but particularly in your first year with the club, you should do as many as you can. This helps acquaint you with the different types of projects and increases your knowledge of the Club and its members.  Some of the projects are set up so that your name is placed on a rotating schedule. You will receive the date and time of your assignment. If you have a conflict with the date and time, it is your responsibility to find a member that is willing to switch the date and time with you. When rotating assignments are made, the number of members needed to carry out the services is carefully planned so as to not have more or fewer members than needed. If a member simply does not show for the project, it burdens those that do. So please make the appropriate arrangements when you cannot make a date and time assigned to you.

 

 

Fund Raising Projects:
Generally, Kiwanis provide services to the community by our personal effort, but some projects require an investment of cash. To provide that cash, the Flagler Sunrise Club has fund raising projects. You may be expected to participate in one or more of these projects during the year.
