Nela Townsend is the President. The Kiwanis Club of Sierra Vista San Pedro was chartered on January 16, 1988. Able to attract leading Sierra Vistans, especially professionals, educators, public servants, and business people, San Pedro has developed into a respected force in the community. All Kiwanis clubs are organized according to a standard basic plan. Each club has great freedom in developing its own service projects, fundraising activities, meeting procedures, customs, and character. Over the years, San Pedro Kiwanis has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, generating money to make major donations to the children of Cochise County.
Through its foundation, Just Kids Inc., San Pedro's fundraising potency has allowed the club to make grants and donations to hundreds of organizations, for special emergency causes, scholarships, permanent community projects, and many youth programs. San Pedro Kiwanis mixes fellowship, networking, club business, community service, and enrichment through weekly meetings to create a formula that leads to personal growth, lifelong friendships, and community outreach that is underscored in the Kiwanis motto: Serving the Children of the World.
