The "K-Family Weekend" Brings Together the Key Club & CKI Boards with Kiwanis Leadership Team
a Photo Essay by Immediate Past Governor Bob Cressy

Have you ever been on a "K-Family Weekend"? You'd never forget it, I'll tell you. Just what is a K-Family weekend anyway? Well, its definition is really the Kiwanis Family Weekend. Its purpose is to gather the current Key Club Board, the CKI Board and the new Kiwanis leadership team, especially all of the 2008-2009 Lieutenant Governors, SLP advisors and K-Family Governors. They assemble for most of three days to work and play together, to share ideas, plans and to get to know one another while coordinating their goals. more or view event photo album

Woodbridge Club Celebrates 95th Birthday of Charter Member Howell Barnes
Al Knehans

On September 24th, at a surprise party at the Montclair Country Club, the Woodbridge Kiwanis Club celebrated the 95th birthday of Howell Barnes, a Charter Member of the Club. Howell has been a very active and supportive member of the Club for over 61 years. He has never lost his enthusiasm for the Club and its many community support projects. As a special gesture to Howell, John Wiley provided some of his famous homemade ice cream, which was served with a cake, that had an edible photograph of Howell, with his Kiwanis cap on and with a big smile, selling fireworks for the Club. The photograph was indicative of the personal support that he has continually provided to the Club. Everyone wished Howell a very happy birthday and told him that we would have another birthday party for him in five years. Another highlight of the evening, was when the Club presented a "Distinguished Service Plaque" to Herb Tiede, in recognition of his outstanding service to the Club since 1996. An award justly deserved!
