years ago by awarding him the Hixson Award for his outstanding
service to the youth at AHS. Don Foss is now the Kiwanis
Liaison with the AHS Key Club and announced that it currently
has 220 members. The Charlottesville Club sponsors six Key
Clubs, a Builders Club, and CKI at UVA, providing opportunities
for service
and leadership to more than 400 youth in the city of Charlottesville
and Albemarle and Fluvanna Counties.
