Each year, the club donates the full proceeds of its Annual Show to a charity or organization involving needy children and this year the Ranfurly Home was chosen. This was the Club's 24th Annual Antique Auto Show and was again held at Arawak Cay. It featured about 60 vintage and special interest vehicles and a dozen motorcycles brought by the Friends of Distinction Riders Club. Brendan Foulkes, 2011 Show Chairman estimated that close to 3,000 people visited Arawak Cay on the day of the show and publicly thanked all those who attended and the business community for its generous contributions. He expressed special thanks to the Arawak Cay Vendors Association, as well as the significant number of tourists who visited, some of whom made donations to the cause. For those who may have missed the event, the next Antique Auto Show and Steak-out organized by The Kiwanis Club of Cable Beach is scheduled for Saturday, August 27 (from Noon to 6:00 PM), also at Arawak Cay.
