The DF Kiwanis meeting opens with the “ringing” of the Bell

Singing of America, Singing of O'Canada, Pledge to Flag of U.S., and Prayer

O'Canada is sung at our club as a tribute to Canada – as the first country outside the US to form a Kiwanis

Club. Kiwanis was limited to US and Canada from 1916-1962 when it then became truly “international”.

Canada is our sister Kiwanis land.

OH CANADA, OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND,

TRUE PATRIOT LOVE IN ALL OUR SONS COMMAND,

WITH GLOWING HEARTS WE SEE THEE RISE

THE TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE,

FROM FAR AND WIDE, O'CANADA,

WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE.

GOD KEEP OUR LAND GLORIOUS AND FREE,

OH, CANADA WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE.

The Board of Directors of the Kiwanis Club of Dover-Foxcroft and The Dover-Foxcroft Kiwanis Charities meets the first

Thursday of each month – 6:00p.m. - Mayo Hospital Piscataquis Room ---all members are welcome and new members

encouraged to attend a meeting to see how the club operates.
