The Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City was treated
to a visit by The Salisbury School's Key Club at the January
9th weekly meeting. Key Clubs are the high school clubs of
Kiwanis International which are community service organizations.
There is a Key Club at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin,
Maryland which is also sponsored by the local Ocean Pines/Ocean
City Kiwanis Club, but members were not able to attend this
meeting.The purpose of the visit was to report to the parent club about the Leadership Program to which the local Kiwanis Club sent the Key Clubs in October 2007. Pictured left to right are Corky Widerman, President-elect of the local Kiwanis Club, Key Leader Erin Dayton Jones, Key Leader Easton Wilkins, Salisbury School Key Club Secretary Hyobin Sung, Treasurer Mitchell Melton, and the Salisbury School Key Club Advisor Erin McAfee who teaches at the Salisbury School. The theme of the Leadership Program was about implementing Integrity, Respect, Service Leadership, Community, Growth, and Excellence. It also gave the clubs a chance to meet members from other Key Clubs. The goal of Kiwanis International is "Serving the Children of the World". What a great example are the Key Clubs. It's so encouraging and rewarding to see today's youth step up and be involved in service to their community.
