The Stockton Club supports the six objectives of Kiwanis:

1. To give primacy to the human and spiritual values rather than the material values of life.
2. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
3. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards.
4. To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship
5. To provide, through Kiwanis Clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
6. To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which makes possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.

Activities of the Stockton Kiwanis Club include:

• An annual "Octobeerfest", a wine and beer-tasting event, which is presented at the Eagle's Nest Harley-Davidson dealership. The date for 2008 is set for Oct. 11
• An annual "Turkey" auction, proceeds of which go the Stockton Emergency Food Bank.
