Mount
Vernon Club Celeberates K-Kids
by Bruce Malkin
Liz
Brodie, President of the Kiwanis K-Kids Club
at Stratford Landing Elementary School (SLES),
was the Guest Speaker at its sponsoring organization,
the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club (MVKC), at
a dinner meeting on Wednesday, February 4
at the Mount Vernon Country Club. Liz is
a 4th grader and 10 years old, but already
shows the excellent character encouraged
by Kiwanis Clubs throughout the world. Her
presentation on her Club's activities and
projects was very well received, after which
she fielded questions from the assembled
Kiwanians. Paul Mehler, Past President of
the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club, followed her
presentation with a PowerPoint show about
K-Kids in general and the Club at Stratford
Landing Elementary School in particular.
Current MVKC President, Bruce Malkin, presented
Liz with the much-coveted MVKC cap as a special
award for her talented speaking engagement.
