About Us

Kiwanis Club had most members present, to win the Large Milk Can Award at Farm-City Dinner.

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club :

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club was chartered September 28, 1928, and operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Over these past years, the club has held many events to raise monies, including (but not limited to) Giving Tuesday, Cards For Kids, Pancake Breakfast, Martinis on the River, etc..   The proceeds of these fundraising events are utilized to aid the community in a variety of ways, including (and again, not limited to) sponsoring youth groups, acquiring supplies and provisions to benefit children and children support groups, and providing college scholarships. The Club receives no federal or local funding; all operating costs come from donations or fundraising efforts. 

The Club has enjoyed a rich history over the years, with its members coming from many fields, including accounting, civil service, education, management, medicine, etc..  The Club is 100% run by dedicated volunteers to ensure all monies raised can directly influence the health and well-being of as many children as is possible.

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club firmly believes cumulative small steps in the right direction can eventually solve seemingly unsurmountable large problems. Through its social media outlet, website, and community awareness events, the Club serves as a resource for community members, addressing concerns and providing pertinent information as needed.  The public is encouraged to volunteer with the Club and work together to build a better community.   The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club’s efforts build strong alliances of people who care about the children and community where everyone resides.

This week at Kiwanis, we were honored to hear from Rick Barram with Civil War Days-Red Bluff, sharing the rich history and impact of Civil War reenactments in our community.

What began as reunions for soldiers eventually grew into a nationwide movement, especially during the Civil War centennial in the 1960s and again in the 1990s following the release of popular films. Locally, the Nor Cal Reenactment of the American Civil War group was established in the late 1990s and has continued to grow ever since.

Civil War Days has found its home in several locations over the years—from Dog Island Park in 2005 to its current location at Cone Grove Park as of 2023. This annual event, held the last weekend in April, offers a unique opportunity to step back in time.

One of the highlights is the special Friday event for local 8th graders—the only history field trip of its kind in our area—featuring hands-on learning stations that bring history to life.

Proceeds from the event support the American Battlefield Trust, preserving important pieces of our nation’s history for future generations.

Thank you, Rick, for an engaging and educational program!

LOOK WHO CAME TO HELP THE KITTIES

A few friends from NVS Frontier Village, who are members of the Aktion Club, spent last Friday morning helping and feeding their feline friends at the Tehama County Animal Care Center in Red Bluff. They were such a HUGE help, washing dishes and the kitties loved the extra special Licki Mats they prepared! Everyone involved enjoyed the visit. The efforts are part of the club’s ongoing commitment to support local organizations and those in need within the community.
