Past Governor

From Niagara Falls to Staten Island, to the borders of Canada and Pennsylvania, from limos to Ubers, OH! airplanes too. Over 24,000 miles to attend governor's visits, blitzes for new club openings, charter nights.
Special olympics, parades, pancake breakfasts, chili cook-offs, relays for our Aktion clubs, veterans red white/blue ball, to our KPTC Black and White Ball, celebrating Kamp's 50th Anniversary, to our district's 100th Birthday.
Social events that your clubs sponsored the outstanding work that you all do with our SLP's. So much more in serving our children and our communities that you made a difference.
What a fantastic year we have had. We opened double-digits in new clubs and added many new members, we are in first for eastern United States for new club opening and membership, we are eighth in the United States and eighth throughout the World.
It was an honor serving as your governor for 2017-18. Much was accomplished with your help. We were recognized at our Kiwanis International Convention, an article in our Kiwanis International Magazine. What more can we ask for as volunteers! We are the Best of the Best.
There will always be our ups and downs; you can not always please everyone. Believe in yourself, Believe in what we stand for: SERVING our CHILDREN. Do not let anyone tell you you can not do it or you're not educated. Do not let the bullies get to you, do what is in your heart ... Make a Difference because: Together We Did.
Now, is the time to serve as your Immediate Past Governor helping Gov. Hank this year. I look forward serving with you all. Supporting Gov. Hank in his project of sending Military Children to Kamp and through out the year.
Thank you all for your dedication and hard work ... especially my lieutenant governors and our board.
