Governor’s Welcome Fellow Kiwanians, Friends, and Guests: Welcome to Erie, Pennsylvania and the 98th Annual District Kiwanis Convention. First Lady Judy and I truly hope that you will find your time in Erie pleasant, relaxing, informative, and fun. Please take advantage of the many events and activities planned by your convention committee and enjoy the beauty of Northwest Pennsylvania. Thank you for serving with our team of Kiwanians who spent the past ten months

Steaming the Way Ahead and making PA Kiwanis stronger. We also want to thank you for making Kiwanis more relevant in our communities and for your generosity in supporting our Kiwanis international global service project, The Eliminate Project. Since October 1st Pennsylvania Kiwanis contributions have been among the Kiwanis world leaders in giving.

Thanks for your continued focus on strengthening our clubs’ membership and for working with Formula Team leaders in opening new clubs within our district. There is still much more work to do as we continue to Steam the Way Ahead.

He also enjoys welcoming guests and speakers at meetings. Stan actively supports our club’s annual service projects. One of Stan’s biggest contributions comes from his ability to secure over 40% of the ad revenue for our annual Pancake breakfast.

She was an essential component and charter member of the University City Kiwanis Club that was formed in 2000. Thanks to her continued efforts, we have a thriving and successful young professionals club in the city of Philadelphia!

Mariza’s most passionate efforts are revolved around Circle K and Key Club. She has acted as Kiwanis Advisor to several SLP clubs. West Chester Circle K has come to rely on her guidance and support. She can be counted on to supply yummy treats and is a good source of information. She attends district events on a regular basis and helped charter two Key Clubs.

Mariza is a Kiwanian who rarely gets recognized for all the wonderful things she does for others. We look forward to many

more years of service and are thankful for her efforts on behalf of the youth of Pennsylvania.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE

THANK YOU, REGION IV, FOR YOUR

SUPPORT OVERTHE PAST THREE YEARS.

RICK RELYEA

REGION IV TRUSTEE

We need to build a stronger Kiwanis Family so that we can serve children and youth.

To do that, we cannot let the parameters of

how we have always done things define how we must do things to serve more children in the

future.

Don’t worry about what we eat and where we meet, examine everything we do to make sure it is relevant to what we should be doing, try new ideas and don’t fear failing sometimes

with new ways and ideas – it is part of the path to success.

Remember, nothing is as powerful as a

changed mind.

Yours in Kiwanis Family Service,

Kevin Thomas, District Executive Director

Thank You…

Erie Convention Committee

for all your extra time, work, and service in bringing

another exciting and fun convention back to Erie,
