CD Distinguished Kiw

The Annual Distinguished Kiwanian Recognition Program was started twenty-two years ago as an opportunity for the District to recognize those Kiwanians who demonstrated an ongoing and consistent involvement with their club’s activities and with the goals of the District. We recognized 80 Kiwanians for their efforts during that premier 1985-86 Administrative Year. And now, 21years later, only three of those members have maintained that status ever since: Past International Trustee Dana Cable, Past Governor Joe Hillier and Past Lt. Governor Richard Moats. We are now beginning our 22nd year of this program.

At the end of our Administrative Year, Kiwanians can assess their participation in this year's activities. Download the Distinguished Kiwanian form below, most criteria of which you can meet if you are at all active in your club. It is particularly easy if you have attended any of the regional Mid-winters besides your own, the Circle K or Key Club conventions, or other special official K-Family functions. The two most important parts, which many of you seem to find tough to meet, are sponsoring a new member and having perfect attendance for the year. Most of you active Kiwanians can verify all the criteria with your Club Secretary, who will sign the form, and then mail it to DPLG Ben Schlesinger, 6801 Broxburn Drive, Bethesda. MD 20817 for action. Certificates and pins are generally made available to your lieutenant-governor for distribution to you.

It is such a shame that fewer than 2% of our members take advantage of this program, which gives you the little walking man pin in recognition of your achievements. This year, PLEASE fill out the form if you meet the criteria and get in to us by December 31 so that you can be recognized as a Capital District Distinguished Kiwanian!
