By
the time you read this, the proposed Strategic Plan has
been reviewed in two increments by the District Long
Range Planning Committee,
those incremental results have been endorsed by the
District Board, and four of the eight District Regions
have had
the opportunity to attend presentations on "VISION: 20/15", to include the Strategic Plan. Between now and mid-April, all remaining Regions
will share in that opportunity. From there, all input
from all sources will be considered before the Board
endorses a final version of the Plan. That final version
will be presented to the House of Delegates for ratification
in Richmond this Summer. Once ratified by the delegates,
the plan belongs to the District membership and the
District Board will be charged with executing it. by D.J. Landis
Every Christmas holiday season the Salvation Army collection
kettles are a familiar presence. Volunteers ring the bell
and collect money for the Salvation Army. The Kiwanis Club
of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City volunteers ring the bell
at the local West Ocean City Wal-Mart each holiday season.
In February the Salvation Army recognized the Kiwanis Club
for their participation and awarded them two first place
trophies for contributions collected by service clubs for
2006 and 2007. Pictured left to right are local Kiwanians,
Past President Al Kastner, Past Lieutenant Governor Ralph
Chinn, Kiwanis Club Chairman for the Kiwanis Bell Ringer
Volunteers, Dick Feeser, Tom Ayd, former Kiwanian, and Salvation
Army Officer, Captain Cam Hendersen. All those who volunteered
to ring the bell are to be congratulated.
