2020-2021 RECOGNITIONS AT MIDYEAR BY DENNIS BAUGH, IMMEDIATE PAST GOVERNOR
Recognizing an individual Kiwanian and a club for their achievements is always a great occasion. At the 2022 Midyear Conference, we honored the 2020-2021 Clubs with Membership Growth, Distinguished Clubs, Distinguished Lieutenant Governors and Distinguished Members, that accomplished the criteria in their respective categories. This is a great honor. Three new clubs were chartered in 2020-2021, during the pandemic. They are Capital – Next generation eClub, Capital – Legacy eClub and Jackson River Area. Collectively, they brought 58 new members to Kiwanis. 2020-21 Club Membership Growth (for clubs chartered prior to October 1, 2020) All clubs chartered prior to October 1, 2020 that had a net increase of five (5) or more members as of September 30, 2021 will receive a banner ribbon.
