Here is John happily holding up the $1000 check the club donated for their children's water safety programs. Summer of 2005 saw 103 children from ages 2 to 16 receive basic water safety training in Flagler county.

Summer of 2005 was a time when our club helped support a summer reading program for disadvantaged children. Through a contribution from the Flagler Kiwanis Foundation, over fifty Flagler county children were able to obtain books of their own as incentives to improve their reading skills.
