The year kicks off a year of growth in membership, new fundraisers, and sponsorship of new Service Leadership Programs.
The formation of a Key Club at Cedars International Next Generation High School began in 2018 and was entirely a student-driven initiative. In September of 2019, the students approached the Kiwanis Club leadership with a request for sponsorship and beginning of a great new partnership was started. October 2019 – The club inherits a new fundraiser from the Kiwanis Club of Cedar Park – operation of a concession stand for the annual VW Harvest. Proceeds from the fundraiser benefit the Key Clubs in Leander and Ceder Park. It was a big success as we involved Kiwanis Family volunteers from the Key Club in-formation at Cedars International Next Generation High School, Key Club of Manor New Tech High School, and the CKI Club of The University of Texas at Austin.
Holiday Social
For the club’s last evening meeting of the calendar year, we had a white elephant gift exchange and did some planning for the next couple of months of service projects and activities.
SPRING 2020 – THE CLUB MOVES ONLINE
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, club operations shift online while the board develops new strategies to engage members and continue to serve.
Presented online at the club’s annual meeting in May, immediate past president (2016-2018) John Cano was recognized with a Presidential Zeller for his efforts in enrolling the club in The Eliminate Project Model Club Pledge. We’ve nearly completed the pledge!
New Key Club Sponsorship and Projects
With the closure of the Kiwanis Club of Cedar Park, our club adopted the Key Clubs at Vandegrift High School, Rouse High School, and Glenn High School. In addition, one of the Cedar Park club’s best recurring fundraisers was the Fly the U.S. Flag program which we are continuing and expanding!
2021-22
Over the course of two weekends in September 2020, members of the club gathered to construct and install new sensory boards for the Mary Bailey Head Start Center in Georgetown.
We got a group together to volunteer at the Central Texas Food Bank, which we would like to schedule as a quarterly project.
In March of 2022, members from the club and across the division came together following a Division Council Meeting hosted by Lt. Governor John Cano to participate in another project at the center. Adrian Thompson brought snacks and refreshments and secured supplies to clean up the grounds. Bill Gordon also constructed a new blackboard for the center that could be hung up on the playground fence. Members of the Kiwanis Clubs of Northwest Austin, Round Rock, Silicon Hills, and all pitched in to clear away weeds, debris, and overgrowth to prepare the flower beds for spring planting.
Hosted by John, club members are invited to tailgate before the game and to stick around to watch the game. Come and go casual social.
Tailgate officially starts 3 hours before kickoff.
Southeast corner of MLJ Jr Blvd and San Jacinto Blvd.

Started out our Saturday Morning with Service!
This morning, 7 members across Key Club, CKI, and Silicon Hills Kiwanis came together for our Restock the School event. In just about an hour, we packed 20 backpacks 🎒with supplies for an elementary school in need and a few extras left! ✏️📚
It’s amazing what can happen when the Kiwanis family works together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, pitched in, and helped make sure local students have the supplies they need to succeed! 🌟
🌳 Service in action at Rosewood Park with the Austin Parks Foundation!
Three members of the Kiwanis Club of Silicon Hills; plus one little helper joined forces with the Austin Parks Foundation and fellow volunteers to give the trees at Rosewood Park some much-needed TLC.
In just two hours, we helped mulch around 25 trees! 🌳💪
A little teamwork, a lot of mulch, and one morning well spent caring for a park our Austin community can enjoy this summer!
We love opportunities to roll up our sleeves, serve together, and make a difference right here in our community. 💙
Join us at our next event Sept 19th where we will be organizing school supplies for drop off to a school in need! Link in the bio!
