The evening of October 9th was an exciting one for Tysons Corner Kiwanians, who gathered for their Member Induction and Installation Night. The membership gathered at Corky's Grill in McLean with members from Fairfax Kiwanis and McLean Kiwanis, and Lieutenant Governor Steve Vajs from Mt. Vernon Kiwanis. The club was pleased to induct five new members (right): Shawn Thames, Rachel Brownlee, Beth Brennan, Stacy Bruss, and Bill Kirchner.

Lieutenant Governor Vajs retired the 06-07 board and installed the 07-08 board, giving words of wit and advice along the way. The club presented Immediate-Past President Maureen Frank with a life membership into the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation as a thank you for her fabulous work with the club during her presidency. New Board members pictured left include Membership Director Chris Rosenbaum, SLP Director Nicole McDermott, Treasurer Corey Jerome, Secretary Kristina Dlugozima, President Jen Dugent, Vice President Dave Lurie, Service Director Matt Green, IPP Maureen Frank, Fundraising Director Becky Katz.

Newly installed President Jennifer Dugent spoke about the club's successful Safe Sitter program and thanked the club's 06-07 Safe Sitter team, which includes Nicole McDermott, Corey Jerome, Nancy Miller, and Jeffrey Wolff. The club's next Safe Sitter classes are November 4th and January 13th.

The 07-08 club board spent the closing of the evening sharing their plans for the upcoming year. One event in the works is the club's 10th Anniversary Celebration, which is being planned for June 2008.
