The Kiwanis Club of Springtime City in Clearwater, celebrating its 51st year of service, has changed its weekly meeting location to Clearwater Country Club, 525 North Betty Lane, Clearwater. The club meets 6-7:30 p.m. every Thursday.
Recent club service activities have include the 15th annual Free Children’s Health Fair that occurs every July at the Long Center, college scholarships to SPC, many school programs from Headstart through High School including the Ed Wells, Jr./Kiwanis Invitational Track and Field Meet for the past 46 years, as well as direct donations to children-related groups and causes that benefit children and youth in the Clearwater area.
Since 1982, the club annually has awarded a two-year tuition scholarship to a Clearwater High School graduating senior attending St. Petersburg College. The scholarship is the Max Devane/Bill Roys Scholarship, named after two past members of the club. Both were counselors at St. Petersburg Junior College. Chong Liu recently received the scholarship and will focus his studies on music.
