Kiwanis Club of Over-The-Hill

On Thursday, December 21, 2023, president Dominique Gaitor and the Kiwanis Club of Over-The-Hill under our theme “Service with Passion & Strength” made our annual visit to the Good Samaritan Home for the Aged, Yellow Elder Gardens.

Our purpose was to serenade the residents with the singing of Christmas Carols, and to provide them with a Christmas treat. While we sung carols, lead by PLG Benjamin Whyte on the keyboard, members served each resident with a plate of fruits and cakes. In addition, we also donated cleaning supplies to the home. We feel as an organisation that we must give back to our seniors and let them know they are loved, cherished and appreciated for their contributions to our community and country.

The Kiwanis Club of Over-The-Hill was organised on September 24, 1975, and remains the only all men’s Kiwanis club in Sunshine Division 22, Bahamas, under the Eastern Cananda & Caribbean District of Kiwanis International.
