Before we start our new Kiwanis year, I would like to thank the Franklin Square Kiwanis Club from the LISC Division for starting a new K-Kids club. The most important news that I have is that our International Vice President Tom DeJulio went to New Zealand and was successful in getting them to start a K-Kids. Folks, that is absolutely awesome! Many thanks and kudos to Franklin Square and VP Tom!
As we begin a new year under the leadership of Governor Mike Malark, we are encouraging you to consider starting a K-Kids in your community. Remember, it can be in a library, house of worship or a school. This of course is one tool to get Kiwanians involved and also motivate new members.
Thanks to our sponsored youth, our Tony Palangi Fellowship program has been very successful.
I would like to remind Kiwanians to consider honoring someone in your club, division or for that matter a community person through this program. It only costs $400 and you receive a banner patch, lapel pin and a beautiful certificate.
This award not only recognizes a well deserving person but it also helps the Foundation and reminds us of a Past Governor who not only gave of himself but was proud to be a Kiwanian and devoted twenty-three years to our sponsored youth.
So, please let us keep this program going.
Let's have a positive attitude and a great new service year.
