Varsity Quiz

The Varsity Quiz Program is patterned after a high school program that was being sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim. In 1969 a delegation from that club convinced the leadership of the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas to sponsor a similar program in Clark County.  The Southern Nevada program was named Varsity Quiz. It is conducted within the Clark County School District (CCSD).  The Varsity Quiz Program completed its 48th season in 2017.  The Varsity Quiz Program is a partnership between the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas, CCSD, and Vegas PBS TV-10.

Educator of the Year

Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas' Educator of the Year Program, starting in 1992, was the brainchild of Kiwanian Ned L.

Some history of the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas in pictures!

Club History - 91 Years of Service to Our Community

Picture
On December 4, 1925, the Las Vegas Kiwanis Club was born. Kiwanis meeting date and time was set for 12: 10 PM on Wednesdays and the day has never changed.
The first meeting was held at Las Vegas High School. The Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino was our sponsor. After that the meeting place became “The Beanery”, an unofficial name for the coffee shop at the Union Pacific Depot. Over the years the meeting location has changed but our mission has remained the same.
