Welcome to the Denton Breakfast Kiwanis Club! Our mission is to serve children and improve our community through dedicated service and volunteerism. As part of the global Kiwanis organization, we strive to make a lasting impact locally and beyond.
Our Mission
Kiwanis International, founded in 1915, is dedicated to serving children and improving communities worldwide. With over 550,000 members in 80 countries, Kiwanis has a long history of adapting to the changing needs of society, always focused on fostering positive change.
Denton Breakfast Kiwanis Club
Our club has a unique history, originating as an offshoot of the Kiwanis Noon Club to accommodate those who preferred an earlier meeting time. We meet every Wednesday morning at 7 AM at Rudy’s, where we engage in activities such as guest speakers, training sessions, and field trips.
Community Projects
We are deeply committed to serving our community through various projects:
Adopt-a-Spot: We meet quarterly to clean up Wind River Street, helping to keep our community beautiful.
Nette Shultz Elementary Support: Each year, we provide coats to students in need, ensuring they are warm during the winter months.
Disaster Relief Backpack Program: This year, we are launching a program to assemble and distribute backpacks filled with essential supplies for families affected by natural disasters.
Book Giveaway: We will be organizing a book giveaway event to promote literacy and a love for reading among children in our community.
Secure Bike Check-In at Jazz Fest: At the Denton Jazz Fest, we’ll provide a secure bike check-in service, allowing attendees to enjoy the event while knowing their bikes are safe.
Salvation Army Bell Ringers: We will also be volunteering as bell ringers for the Salvation Army during the holiday season to help raise funds for those in need.
Fundraising and Events
Our primary fundraising event is the Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally, held the Saturday before Thanksgiving at Denton High School. This event attracts 600 to 1,000 riders, and we rely on volunteers for roles such as parking management and rest stop support. The funds raised support our community service projects.www.DentonTurkeyRoll.com
We also participate in the Denton Yankee Doodle Parade, where our float has won awards in two out of the last three parades. This event allows us to engage with the community and showcase our club’s spirit.
Key Clubs and Scholarships
We sponsor three Key Clubs at Denton High, Ryan High, and Guyer High. These clubs promote leadership and service among high school students. In May, senior Key Club members are encouraged to apply for scholarships to support their college or trade school education. Each Key Club has a facility sponsor and a Denton Breakfast Kiwanis advisor. If you’re interested in becoming an advisor or starting a new Key Club, please contact our president or vice president.
Social Events
We believe in building strong relationships within our club through social events like First Thirsty, where we explore new restaurants or bars each month. This is a great opportunity to unwind and connect with fellow members.
Get Involved
We welcome new members and encourage you to share your ideas for programs and projects. If you’re interested in taking on a leadership role or joining our board, please talk to a board member, the president, or the vice president. We also participate in the Denton Jazz Fest to recruit new members and connect with the community.
Join us in making a difference in Denton and beyond. Together, we can achieve great things!
