The Kiwanis Mid-Winters have begun for Kiwanis and on February 15-17th, Capital District Circle K International (CKI) had the K-Family's first 2008 Convention entitled "An Odyssey of Service" in Fairfax, Virginia.

Update on District Strategic Plan
by Gov. Elect Tom Ganse

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. more
