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 Shira E. Oler
Jeanne
is a perfect example of what past International
President
Siemens calls "someone who has obtained her Kiwanis moment." In other words, someone who recognizes that they have been given a good life
and are willing to sacrifice some of their time for
the benefit of others in need.
Jeanne has not only served as President of our club but to this day continues on both the Club and Foundation board of directors. She is always organizing a trip to the Children's Inn to feed children with cancer, providing interesting speakers for our Club's weekly meetings, helping with our Service Leadership Program Key Clubs, membership growth and retention, and the annual Golf Tournament fundraiser. In light of her devotion to Kiwanis and commitment to the children of the world, Gary Boswell, Club treasurer, presented Jeanne with the Hixson Award at the Bethesda Club's 63rd Charter Night in February.
