Featured Projects
City of Oakland Park’s Youth Day Parade
Oakland Park Kiwanis participated in Oakland Park’s Youth Day Parade. This year’s theme was GAME ON! The City’s celebration of its youth features Broward County’s longest-running parade led by elected officials, community groups, local schools, and athletic teams. Thanks to all who participated.
Broward Waterway Cleanup
The yearly Broward Waterway Cleanup was held on Saturday, March 1st. We worked on our adopted waterway on the NW 39th Street Greenway, Oakland Park. Thanks for helping to clean up our environment.
Highlighting our Ronnie’s Stars Project
Ronnie’s Stars, a Signature Project of Oakland Park Kiwanis, is named in honor of Ronnie Goldstein, late wife of Kiwanian Michael Goldstein. Ronnie crocheted blankets for the pediatric oncology unit of Broward General. When Ronnie passed, our Club could not let this project lapse, and Ronnie’s Stars were born! Club members rallied to give crochet lessons, donate yarn and crochet hooks, and opened their homes for weekly meetings. Other Club members whose talents include sewing began to create pillowcases and bead bags and other items.
The Crochet Club meets weekly at a member’s home where we craft blankets for ill children, unhoused families with children, newborn babies, children who attend a special needs camp, Veterans, seniors in a residential home, and any other need that arises. We also provide approximately 700 hats per year for premature babies, crocheted octopuses for infants who lack the strength and dexterity to lift heavier toys, seasonally-tailored “worry worms” for seniors with memory issues, a Halloween “skull blanket” raffled at our annual Pancake Breakfast, and this year we will supply 400+ crocheted “bookworms” for the annual kindergarten book giveaway. Our blankets are carefully tagged and bagged with Oakland Park Kiwanis information. For every item we make, the first stitch is always made “with love,” ensuring our special touch is incorporated into all our crafting.
This project has grown significantly with the addition of sewn and crocheted items, amounting to over 4,000 pillowcases, hundreds of blankets, feeding tube pads, newborn mittens, newborn caps, IV covers, yarn animals, inspirational hearts and Beads of Courage Bags for critically ill children. One auxiliary group of Ronnie’s stars is the Crochet Club, which meets weekly to instruct new participants and share ideas to create unique blankets for children throughout the South Florida area. In addition, during the pandemic, members made professional masks and sent them to veterinary clinics all over the country.
We included several pictures of finished work and work in process. This incredible group meets weekly and produces absolutely beautiful work that goes to very special hospital patients in South Florida. Keep on stitching, team! Your work is amazing.
We welcome all new members! Send a note to [email protected] to ask about membership in our Kiwanis club and/or joining the Ronnie’s Stars group. Hope to see new members soon!

Each year Oakland Park Kiwanis visits our local schools to see how Kiwanis can help with the education of our children. Today we visited with Floranada Elementary School. We had the special occasion of having two students join our meeting. They were the Student Principal and Assistant Principal of the Day.

It is truly fantastic to see such well educated, professional young people so engaged in the educational process.

School Visits and Interviews
We have several Kiwanis members who have been in contact with our schools to find out what they need: instructional materials, uniforms, food and volunteering to read, etc. Shown below are some of the schools we have visited and how we have been able to help. As Kiwanis members, we are thrilled to provide these needed tools for our local students. See the caption below each picture.
Through our fundraising and donations, Oakland Park Elementary provided several grade levels with a tool called Mountain Math to help students increase their mathematical learning.
One of the schools we worked with this year is North Andrews Elementary. Through our fundraising and donations, Oakland Park Kiwanis provided a large speaker for school functions. The school is using this speaker for morning announcements and playing some music to help the students have fun with their learning. Also, we provided headphones so students can hear their lesson individually and speak back to the microphone to improve their language and reading skills.
Oakland Park Kiwanis provides a book for each kindergarten student at all of our schools as they leave school for the summer break. This picture shows students from Lloyd Estates Elementary School with their books. We hope the students enjoy their new books.
Terrific Kids at Floranada Elementary. This Kiwanis student recognition program promotes character development, positive self-esteem, and perseverance. Students work with their classroom teacher and establish goals to improve behavior, peer relationships, attendance, or schoolwork.
Rickards Middle Heartfelt Thanks for Your Support
We received a letter from Jordan Davis, Math Dept. Chair at Rickards: Dear Oakland Park Kiwanis Club, On behalf of Rickards Middle School, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your generous financial donation towards our extended learning camps. Your support was instrumental in enhancing our Saturday learning camps, which focused on math, science, civics, and language arts. As state testing has ended, Rickards school score has increased and your contributions from Saturday camp definitely was impactful in our success. Being able to provide snacks, rewards, and teacher resources kept our students engaged and allowed us to sustain a phenomenal enrollment of at least 110 students every Saturday. We deeply appreciate your commitment to our community and your dedication to fostering academic growth. Thank you once again for your generosity and support.
