Kiwanis Holiday Dinner


The community is invited to a free turkey dinner at the Lion’s Club on Civic Circle in Beverly Hills on Saturday, December 24 at noon. Note that because Christmas is on Sunday this year, the date has been changed to December 24.

Formerly called Not Home Alone, the dinner is now called Kiwanis Holiday Dinner, hosted by the Kiwanis Club of West Citrus. The dinner will include turkey and all the fixings, catered by Oyster’s Restaurant of Crystal River.

This traditional meal has been offered to the community, especially seniors who are home alone during the holidays, for over 25 years. Kiwanis Clubs are all about service to the community we live in as well as around the world, and it is our joy to serve the community in this way.


Reservations are required so we know how many to plan for, with a maximum of 100 guests. The doors open at 11:30am for coffee, and the meal will be served at noon.

To reserve your place, please call Lynn Fonfara: 352.527.8321 or Barbara Rollison: 352.726.3971. Please leave a message if no one answers.


The Kiwanis Club of West Citrus meets Thursdays at noon at Oyster’s in Crystal River. If you love to serve children of all ages please join us.
