Our next meeting- “Action Steps” takes place on Tuesday, September 2nd 6:00-7:30p.m. at Robbins Morton following our regularly scheduled Board Meeting. I hope everyone can attend, even if you were unable to attend the initial meeting.

The Kiwanis Club of Homewood- Mountain Brook was very well represented at the 90th Annual District Convention in Gadsden, Alabama this past weekend. We had seven members attend- Allison, Bailey, Berliner Clement, Hanks, Manasco and Rodgers.  Three represented our club as Delegates and four served as At-Large Delegates, having served as past and current Lt. Governors.

President Brian Rodgers presented a well-attended workshop at the convention. Other sessions were presented by Past Governor Joel Williams, KI Director of Technology Scott Smith, and other noted guests. Our Kiwanis International Trustee, from Japan, provided a great Keynote presentation on KI’s impact globally.

Bill Hanks represented the Kiwanis Club of Homewood- Mountain Brook as it was presented the Howard Yielding Award at the 90th Annual District Convention in Gadsden, Alabama this weekend. This award recognized the club’s Stormwater Awareness Medallion Project that was executed under the direction of Past President Chuck Kelly. Not only did this project provide a lasting presence in the two communities and raise awareness of this important ecological issue, but also built ties with the Boy Scouts of America. Past President Kelly solicited their assistance with placement of these medallions throughout the area thoroughfares.
