South County Spotlight During December, our South County Spotlight shines on Santa Claus. Although Santa is not officially a member of our club, he does embody many of the same qualities and attributes of a great Kiwanian that we do. While we are working all year long Serving the Children of the World, Santa is busy working behind the scenes and makes his public appearance only once a year at Christmas time. But during that time, he, like us, brings joy to many children and adults as he spreads good cheer, toys, food and clothing to all. Dec - No dates given for Key Club meetings.
