New Club Officers Installed
The Kiwanis Club of Asbury Park is very excited to start the new Club year with a new President, Treasurer and President Elect!
Deena Cohen takes the reigns as President with the goal of building on the tremendous Club growth in 2024. She brings lots of fresh, new ideas to make 2025 an even bigger and better year.
The Club's financial goals and responsibilities will be managed by Kiwanis veteran Alex Mizenko. As Treasurer, Alex will ensure the Club's fundraising and support initiatives align with stated objectives.
Current member and President Elect Jeannine DeFoe will be shadowing Deena to soak in all she can as she prepares to be Club President in 2026.

Changing Lives of Deserving Youth
Kiwanis AP has been hard at work leading and supporting initiatives and partners focused on positively impacting the lives of so many vulnerable youth living all around us. Let's take a look.
2nd Ave. Beach Toy Borrow Box
To the surprise and delight of beachgoers on 2nd Ave. in Asbury, Kiwanis AP placed a box full of beach toys for youngsters to enjoy for the day. Children of all ages are borrowing and returning toys daily - now through the end of the season.
Covenant House Paint Refresh
Kiwanis' partnership with Covenant House offers love and support to boys and girls facing homelessness. But a fresh coat of indoor paint, landscaping, bedding and other supplies offer a comfortable living space for residents.
Movie Night At The Showroom
The Showroom provided an awesome venue for the Kiwanis Club to host its first ever FREE "movie night." Over 25 boys, girls and family members munched on popcorn and other snacks during the movie Trolls Band Together.
Play on Pine Street
Second Life Bikes provides a safe environment for kids to bike and play on summer Friday nights on Pine Street in AP. The Kiwanis Club adds to the fun offering FREE snacks, drinks and activity books to the youngsters.
