What a great day in Easton Kiwanis
history! 52 members, spouses, guests, fellow
surrounding Kiwanis club members, past Easton Kiwanis club
presidents, PA District Executive Director Kevin Thomas and
PA District Governor Bill Brandamore were all in attendance.
Awards were presented to many members. Over 2 dozen
members received "Recognition of Thanks" for the great job
they do on their various committees and "Chairs of Events."
9 members received "Legion of Honor" pins and awards
totaling over 325 years of Kiwanis service. (See list at
bottom of this page.) Newsletter Editor and Photographer Tom
Malerba received a Kiwanis briefcase to contain and carry
his many photos and notes. And surprise Hixson Awards
were presented to Donna Murphy, Walt Howell and Norm Peil
thanking them for their past exceptional service to Easton
Kiwanis. As of now we have 20 members of our club who
have received Hixson Awards....that's 36% of our members!
PA Kiwanis Executive Kevin Thomas presented Distinguished
Club award pins and a banner-patch for the 2002-03 year to
President Donna Murphy and Secretary Clarence Snyder and the
club received a "Prayer Luncheon" award banner patch.
PA Kiwanis Gov Brandamore assisted with many duties in
the awards. He received a "thank-you" certificate
along with a $200 check for the PA Kiwanis Foundation in
honor of his attendance at our event. 16 past
presidents were there including some of our "retired"
members: Andy Herster 1957, Jim Hemstreet 1958, Bob Daws
1973, Bill Noll 1985 and Dick Snyder 1991. It was
really great to see the "living past history" of Easton
Kiwanis. Just think, a couple of these presidents were
our club president prior to some of our current members
being born. Installation of the new 2004-05 Officers
and Directors was handled by Division 17 Lt. Governor Bill
Walters. Outgoing Pres Joanne was surprised with a
brand-new "Past President" pin that contains 2 diamonds.

LEGION OF HONOR AWARDS |
|
The success of Kiwanis
International is largely due to the strong, effective, and
active service of thousands of Kiwanians, many of whom have
achieved more than 25 years of membership. These dedicated
individuals deserve recognition for having helped make
Kiwanis the great organization it is today. The Legion of
Honor award of Kiwanis International has been created to
assist in extending a token of appreciation to these
Kiwanians, recognizing members beginning with 25 years of
service and every 5 years of additional service. Below
are 9 members with over 325 years of service to Kiwanis.
Bill Walters---25 years
Victor Dennis---26 years
Fred Finken Jr---30 years
Bill Fifield---31 years
George Hemstreet---31 years
Roger Conners II---41 years
Norm Peil, Jr---46 years
J Wilbur Mack---47 years

HIXSON AWARDS |
|
The Kiwanis International
Foundation Board of Trustees created the George F. Hixson
Fellowship in 1983 to honor the first Kiwanis International
President George F. Hixson, who served from 1916 to 1918,
and holds the distinction of being the only leader to serve
two terms as Kiwanis International President. Overall his
record accounts for more than 50 years of dedication to
Kiwanis service.
Funds received for a Hixson Fellowship can be designated for
one of two programs: the Kiwanis International Foundation
Endowment, or the Kiwanis International Worldwide Service
Project. These Hixson award funds have been designated for
