Bradenton Kiwanis

Bradenton Kiwanis Bradenton Kiwanis meets every Tuesday in Kiwanis Hall on the 2nd floor of the Manatee Performing Arts Center. The meeting begins at 12 p.m.

and provides weekly speakers on current and relevant topics. A better way of life... a better Bradenton. On August 22, 1922, the Manatee River Kiwanis Club was chartered by Kiwanis International. The Club later changed its name to the Kiwanis Club of Bradenton. Since 1922, we have built a reputation for seeking out what needs to be done to help our children and our community, working together and

making each project a reality. Our members are community leaders who proudly believe our organization is the absolute best opportunity to get engaged in the community and make a positive difference.

đź’™ Kiwanis in the Community đź’™

A big thank you to the students from Easterseals Southwest Florida who helped prepare Kiwanis Hall throughout the school year.

Before many of our weekly meetings, these students were hard at work setting tables, hanging banners, preparing flags, and helping make sure everything was ready for our members and guests.

Along the way, they gained valuable workplace and life skills while building confidence through hands-on experience at the Manatee Performing Arts Center.

We appreciate the time, effort, and positive attitude they brought to our club throughout the year and wish them all the best as they head into summer and future opportunities. đź’™
