Marks leadership changes
Recognition and repartee, traditional elements of the St. Johns Kiwanis gatherings, joined to lend spirit to the club’s annual dinner marking leadership changes along with service recognition and honors.
Kiwanis outgoing President Marcia Peterson presents Hal Rice with a certificate confirming his selection as “Kiwanian of the Year.”
One of the club’s highest tributes, “Kiwanian of the Year,” was accorded Hal Rice who has demonstrated the object of Kiwanis through his ever present willingness to respond. Rice has demonstrated his readiness to assist, by not only volunteering to work on numerous club projects, but also by assuming leadership roles providing inspiration to others. His honor resulted from a membership vote. Club Secretary Laurie Bishop introduced Rice and presented him with a certificate recognizing his selection.
