Kiwanis Club of New Providence. - The officers and members of the Kiwanis Club of New Providence have celebrated reaching its 25th anniversary.
On Tuesday March 26, 1991 (emerging from the Kiwanianne Club of First Nassau), with an all-female charter member list, the Kiwanis Club of New Providence was born. Under the leadership of Diamond Distinguished Charter President L. Sandra Butler, with determined spirits and the Kiwanis Motto “Serving the Children of the World” at heart, KCNP has made a difference.
KCNP boasts the first female Lieutenant Governor of Division 22, as well as the first Diamond Distinguished Charter President. It has also won the Lieutenant Governor’s Ribbon, the Ralph Taylor Memorial Gong Award, the highest award for Club Bulletin and been recognised by the Eastern Canada & Caribbean District for our service projects.
The club has worked with the Lyford Cay Foundation to donate a $47,000 ventilators for premature babies to the Ante-natal Care Ward at PMH. It has also continued to assist the Aids Camp and The Cancer Society of The Bahamas. KCNP works the Red Cross Fair and Ring bells during the yuletide season to assist the Salvation Army as well as assist with the Soup Kitchen Meadows St.
Additionally, it continues to make a difference in the lives of children throughout The Bahamas with bi-weekly breakfast programmes at both Claridge and Albury Sayle Primary Schools, Reading Programs in several pre and primary schools, presentations of school supplies to children in the Kemp Road Community and our Annual Reading Fair on Pinewood Park. Members frequently visit and assist the Children’s Ward at PMH, the Children’s Emergency Hostel, Nazareth Centre, Women Prison at HMP, Demetrius Centre for the aged and PACE.
