Club History
The Kiwanis Club of Barbados South was formed on September 26th, 1989. It was chartered with twenty-six male members on 26th March, 1990 at the Sam Lords Hotel in St. Philip, Barbados by Mr. Carlton E. Levy, District Governor of the Eastern Canada and the Caribbean District. The Kiwanis Clubs of Bridgetown and Barbados North sponsored the club making it the third Kiwanis Club in Barbados. Kiwanian Dennis Graham was elected Charter President and Kiwanian Desmond Willett the Charter Secretary.
Throughout the club's existence, membership remained all male until the Board of Directors at it's meeting on April 8th 1999 approved a proposal for membership from Mrs. Joycelyn Johnson. Kiwanian Joycelyn was inducted on April 20th 1999 as the first female member of the club. Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Lennox Prescod (1998 - 1999) of Division 27 performed the induction at which three other members were inducted. A few weeks later, Kiwanian Eleanor Small earned the distinction of being the second female inductee. To date there are 28 female members.

Club Meetings
The club currently meets at the Southern Palms Beach Hotel, St. Lawrence Gap, Christ Church, Barbados, every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. for an evening of fun and fellowship. Club meetings traditionally are conducted once a week and offer an atmosphere of fun, education and fellowship. Meetings are therefore designed to be interesting, informative and entertaining. Interactive participation is encouraged. Dress is informal unless otherwise stipulated. Some members wear their Kiwanis vests to regular meetings, but this is a matter of preference.
