"It's fellowship, networking with community leaders, new friends and worthwhile community service. I value my membership and commend it highly to others."
– Meninak Preston Haskell
Build meaningful connections at Meninak with influential leaders and key decision-makers in the community. Our weekly meetings feature a diverse lineup of high-profile speakers who keep us informed on important local, state, and national issues.

Donations to the Meninak Foundation directly support two major programs dedicated to empowering and uplifting youth. Our Charity Project Grants fund capital improvements for nonprofit organizations that care for disadvantaged youth, enhancing their resources and impact. Additionally, our Leadership Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors who have successfully completed the City's Youth Leadership Program, recognizing and investing in future community leaders
Meninak offers numerous opportunities to give back by volunteering your time and expertise. We encourage and provide support for our members to serve as mentors through the various organizations dedicated to supporting youth. Our long-standing community partnerships include sponsoring the Volunteer Lifeguards' Marathon Swim and ongoing support for the Salvation Army through donation counting, the Kettle Drive, Toy Drive, and Telethon.

With unwavering dedication, we continue to serve the youth of our community with dignity and support. New members bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, ensuring our club remains dynamic, engaged, and forward-thinking for generations to come.

I have been a member of this service club for nearly 25 years. While it isn't the largest or best-known service club in the city, they have amassed a very nice endowment which is used to serve our community with substantial annual grants. For over 100 years they have been faithfully serving those when no other help is available.
