We provide service to our own club when we identify, nominate, and recognize members who have earned special recognition from Kiwanis International. By rewarding achievements of individual members, we promote active participation by all members and recruitment of additional members. The number of members and their level of participation are keys to the amount of service we can provide. They also affect the levels of friendship, enthusiasm, and networking we are able to foster. A list of past recipients of these awards is available here.
