President J.D. (Junny) Smith, Secretary E. Landon Meredith
The Kiwanis Club of Colonial Heights held its Charter Night on Tuesday evening, October 22, 1963 at the Country Club of Petersburg. There were over 200 Kiwanians and guest present with representatives from each club in Division 4. Capital District Governor Chester Troy, Sr. was on hand to present the club's charter to our first President, Junny D. Smith.
The club was organized on July 9th with 25 Charter Members. We were
sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Petersburg.
At the Charter Night Dinner, each of the other clubs in Division 4
presented our club with gifts of a club banner, gong, gavel and other
items to get the club off on the right foot. Our club began with meeting
each Wednesday at Arnett's Restaurant at 12:30 p.m. The first elected
officers were President J.D. Smith, 1st- Vice President James Honeycutt,
2nd-Vice President Ralph Johnson, Treasurer Aubrey Wheeler and Secretary
Landon Meredith.
One of the first projects was to organize a Key Club at the Colonial
Heights High School. The Key Club was Chartered on Jan. 15, 1964 with
Tim Brown serving as President. The club's first fund raiser was the
Pancake Meal held at the Community Building on Saturday, February
24, 1964. The cost was $1 for adults and 50 cents for children. There
was a profit of $328 that first year.

President
In 1966, we became the co-sponsor of the Brickwood Invitational Golf
Tournament which led to the establishment of the Kiwanis of Colonial
Heights Cancer Research Fund at the Medical College of Virginia in
1968. That first year, we donated $1,000 to the MCV.

Sponsor Chester
The club took a new direction in its fund raising and
it switched from the Brickwood Golf Tournament to sponsoring the 4th
of July Celebration for the City of Colonial Heights. This was a big
step for the club as we not only sponsored the fireworks, but had
a parade from Temple Avenue to the Colonial Heights football field,
operated up to ten games booths around the field, sold food of all
kinds, auctioned off items that local businesses donated and sponsored
"The Battle of the Bands" contest.

(From E-Builder, Nov 2004) On September 15, 2004 the Colonial Heights Kiwanis Club held its 12th annual Shrimp Feast. This annual event raises funds to benefit the club’s community projects and to fund the Colonial Heights Kiwanis Foundation. The Foundation was formed to honor one of its former members, Judge William N. (“Bill”) Humphries. Judge Humphries died on July 26, 1993 after fighting a battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS). All funds from the Foundation are used to provide college scholarships for Colonial Heights High School students.
The first Shrimp Feast was arranged and pulled off in less than two weeks. That event netted nearly $4,000 for the Foundation. Since then the event has netted an additional $100,000 to fund these scholarships. This year’s event was a tremendous success netting nearly $13,000. The sold-out event was attended by nearly 1,000 people. The club members cook, clean, serve and do all that is necessary to make this event successful.
