Last month Capital District Secretary/Treasurer Tom Varner asked that we get back to basics. One way is through the recognition of Kiwanians who volunteer decades of service as members. The success of Kiwanis is largely due to the strong, effective, and active service of thousands of members. These dedicated individuals deserve recognition for having helped make Kiwanis the great organization it is today. The Legion of Honor award was created to extend a token of appreciation to these Kiwanians recognizing members from their 25th year of service and incrementally every five years thereafter. Congratulations to the following Capital District Kiwanians who have earned this honor during the first three months of the Kiwanis year.
In last month's article "Kiwanis Becomes Coed" you were reminded of a historical moment of change, diversity and inclusion within our organization.
"By the time of the Washington, DC convention, more than 50 clubs had openly admitted women members." A special congratulations to Virginia Espie and to the Crofton Kiwanis Club who 25 years ago welcomed her as a member.
