Celebrating a Century of Service:
100th Anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas
Founded December 4, 1925
Last December, the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas proudly celebrated its 100th anniversary—a century of service, leadership, and dedication to the betterment of our community. Since our founding on December 4, 1925, we have continuously worked to uplift others, empower youth, and leave a lasting positive impact on Las Vegas.
Our legacy is filled with meaningful contributions to our community. The Kiwanis Varsity Quiz, for example, has nurtured academic excellence and teamwork among high school students, fostering a love for learning and healthy competition. Similarly, our founding of the Desert Demonstration Garden, now part of the Springs Preserve, underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability education.
Fundraising has also been a vital part of our efforts, helping us sustain and expand our reach. From organizing Fourth of July fireworks booths that light up the summer nights to volunteering at concession stands during ballgames at Cashman Field, our members have combined fun, community engagement, and philanthropy in truly memorable ways. These initiatives not only raise funds for critical programs but also bring people together in the spirit of camaraderie and service.
Throughout the decades, our club has exemplified the Kiwanis spirit through projects like scholarships, mentorship programs, food drives, and other initiatives that directly support children and families. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and passion of our members—past and present—who have worked tirelessly to improve the lives of others and strengthen our community.
As we commemorate our 100th anniversary, we honor the legacy of those who came before us and look ahead with renewed resolve to serve. The needs of our community may evolve, but our commitment to making a difference remains steadfast. Together, we will continue to inspire change and create a brighter future for generations to come.

Club History - 100 Years of Service to Our Community
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.
