SANIBEL-CAPTIVA KIWANIS CLUB Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club President Emily Ankerson with tickets to this year's Annual Kiwanis Spaghetti Dinner, which will be held on Feb. 22 from 4 to 8 p.m. at The Community House on Sanibel.

The Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club is returning to the kitchen to cook up thousands of meatballs, hundreds of pounds of spaghetti and dozens of gallons of sauce to serve in a long-standing tradition.

The Annual Kiwanis Spaghetti Dinner will return on Feb. 22 from 4 to 8 p.m. at The Community House on Sanibel. One of the club’s major fundraisers, it will feature an all-you-can-eat Italian feast of salad, pasta and meatballs — using a special Kiwanis recipe sauce — garlic bread, wine and soda.

“The spaghetti dinner has a long history as a fixture on the islands’ social calendar, dating to the earliest days of the local Kiwanis Club 50-plus years ago,” the club shared. “Attendees will enjoy a hearty spaghetti dinner, complete with all the trimmings, plus a fun-filled night with friends and neighbors.”

Following dinner, attendees will enjoy music, dancing, a raffle and an auction.

Wine, coffee and three kinds of The Bubble Room’s popular cakes will also be available.

“This event is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a celebration of our community spirit,” the club shared. “It’s a night where everyone is welcome, and we come together to share good food, laughter and camaraderie.”

The proceeds will benefit the Kiwanis Scholarship Program and more.

“These events raise funds used by the Kiwanis to support education, scholarship and recreation programs for local youth, plus numerous community service projects,” the club shared, referring to its spaghetti dinner, Diner’s Delight coupon books and King of the Rock golf tournament.

Tickets are $20 per person, and ages under 10 are free.

Tickets are available from Kiwanis members and at Bank of the Islands, Captiva Civic Association, Jerry’s Foods, MacIntosh Books + Paper, Periwinkle Park office, SanCap Pak-N-Ship, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank, Sanibel Island Farmers Market, The Community House and The Shack of Sanibel.

The public is encouraged to secure a ticket.

“We invite everyone to join us for this special evening filled with good food, great company and the warmth of community spirit,” the club shared. “Together, let’s keep this cherished tradition alive for many years to come.”
