Our own Gail Jay, President Cameo Harvey, and Shelley Drennan are featured on the Kiwanis International page!

The countdown to the BIGGEST Kiwanis event of the year starts now! ⏳

In less than a month, members representing more than 30 countries around the world will gather in Manila, Philippines, for four days of fun, fellowship and education at the Kiwanis International convention.

FUN FACT: More than half of this year’s registrants are first-time convention attendees.

If you’ve attended in the past, what advice would you give this year’s first-timers?

Ikie Taylor introduced our 2025-2026 ‘Sophomore of the Year Award’ to Macie Brynn Parks from Clyde High School on Thursday! This young lady not only maintains a high gpa, she is involved in so many volunteer activities… including her high school’s Key Club… we don’t know where she finds the time! Macie was awarded a $500 scholarship that will be applied to the college of her choosing after she graduates. Congratulations, Macie!
