Club History
The club was established in 1980 as the Kiwanis Club of Montezuma - Rimrock. This area was known in the early days as Beaver Creek for the many beavers living along the riverbanks. Many trappers came to this area seeking to make a living from the furs of the beavers. In October of 1999 the name was changed to Kiwanis Club of Beaver Creek restoring the history of our area and including other communities and development since 1980. The Kiwanis motto is "WE BUILD." Serving the Children of the World is our Priority one! Kiwanis International is in over 80 countries in the world. The group enjoys serving the community and invites you to join us. We cannot do it alone.
