Bingo

We hold a Bonus Bingo each Sunday from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. and each Tuesday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.  Each regular game starts out at a minimum of $100 increasing nightly.  We also offer 3 jackpot games each being a minimum of $1,000.

Prestige Dinner

On a Thursday night each October, we hold an elegant dinner for local business people.  Tickets are $100.00 each for which you get a steak and lobster dinner, a chance to win one of our top prizes of $4,000, $1,000, or $500.  It is an evening of socializing followed by a casino with all funds raised going to fulfilling our motto of "Serving the Community's Greatest Needs".

Celebrate Canada in the Capitals

We assist the government in this initiative whose goal is to teach Canadians about other provinces.  This is done through a lottery where the successful winner is given an all  expenses paid trip to the capital of some other province as a guest of a local family.

CF Bed Push

Our members push a hospital Bed down the centre of the road while collecting voluntary donations from passing motorists.

Santa Claus Parade

For 25 years the Kinsmen Club of Nashwaaksis have hosted a parade for local children. The parade route alternates between the north and south sides of the river and has never failed to please old and young alike. Since 1998, residents of Fredericton have been treated to a night time parade that brings out the full color of Christmas.

Moon Walk 

Zellers, UNB Shinerama and Kinsmen form a family of people who have pledged to keep raising funds until a cure for Cystic Fibrosis is found. Each May, Zellers puts on a walk-a-thon for all ages that takes place all across Canada. Since 1986, Zellers associates with the support of local CF chapters have raised more than $15 million dollars for Cf research. For more information on this event, please visit www.zellers.com.

May is a very busy month for the club. We hold a barbeque each year for the participants in the following walking events;

Hip Hip Hooray - raises funds for those who undergo hip replacement surgery.
The MS Supercities Walk - raises funds for Multiple Sclerosis.
March the Trail of Dimes - raises funds for the Human Research and Development Council whose purpose is to promote the mobility of disabled adults.
Walk for Hope - raises funds for cancer research

We are better able to assist the Community with our Centre, which acts as a home for many worthwhile groups, including the Fredericton Amatuer Boxing Club, Boy Scouts, a Seniors exercise group, a second Senior Citizens group, Prostrate Cancer group and Adult Literacy.  Our building is wheelchair accessible and has a motorized chair lift.  We rent out our large hall for $275 and small hall for $200 and with a licensed bar, it is the site of many weddings, dances and other benefits to raise money for the community.
