Escanaba Kiwanis Celebrates Wins at Fall Banquet

It was a packed room at the Bonifas Art Center on September 23rd as the club celebrated wins from the past year. Some of the largest wins include:

• Creation of club Mission and Vision Statements
• 225 Community service hours provided to our Strategic Partners and the Escanaba community.
• An additional 400 service hours for the very successful 2022 Home & Garden Show
• 50% membership growth

At the event Kiwanis District Lieutenant Governor Steve Halsey presented Legion of Honor awards to 12 of the current members who have served at least 25 years. Top Legion of Honor award went to Roy Hivala for his 57 years of service to the Escanaba Kiwanis. Roy received a standing ovation for his incredible service. Mr. Halsey also inducted the incoming board members, and Aaron Deiter was installed as the new club President. Thank you to all who were able to attend and make it such a fun event! The club is already busy planning more ways to grow, have fun, and help Escanaba youth and the community in the upcoming year.
