Get ready for the spotlight! You are invited to participate in the upcoming Kiwanis International Vice President Candidate Forums, hosted on Voices of Service with Sue Petrisin on Thursdays, May 15 and May 22. With four outstanding candidates stepping forward for this important leadership role, we’re hosting two dynamic sessions to help members get to know you better and hear your vision.
New this year! Each candidate will have five minutes at the beginning of the first forum to introduce themselves and highlight what they bring to the position. You may use up to two PowerPoint slides during your introduction. Please email your slides to Sue Petrisin at [email protected] no later than 5:00 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, May 14.
Following the introductions, both sessions will feature a series of thoughtful questions posed to all candidates. This is your opportunity to share your leadership perspective, connect with members, and inspire Kiwanians around the world.

We also encourage you to invite your friends, family members, and fellow Kiwanians to join you—but please note that all attendees must register individually using the same link.

Announcing the 2025 Pacific Northwest District
Signature Project Winners!

Group I (27 members or fewer)
Kiwanis Club of Greater Kingston
We are excited to announce that the Kiwanis Club of Greater Kingston has been selected as the 2025 Pacific Northwest District Signature Project Winner – Group I for their Percussion Instrument Park!

This incredible project has created an inclusive musical playground that brings people of all ages and abilities together through the power of music. Located in Village Green Park in Kingston, Washington, the project provides accessible percussion instruments—such as chimes, bells, marimbas, and drums—that allow individuals, families, and community groups to enjoy and engage in creative expression.

The impact of this project is undeniable, with 1,500 people positively affected each year. It has become a community gathering space, encouraging spontaneous musical collaboration while fostering social connections and inclusivity. The park is used daily, with additional participation from Key Club members, the Boys & Girls Club, and local families who have embraced the space as a welcoming and engaging environment.

Congratulations to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Kingston for their outstanding contribution to their community! Their project will now advance to Kiwanis International, where it will compete against other inspiring projects from across the globe. We wish them the best of luck!

Group II (28 members or greater)
Kiwanis Club of Oak Bay
We are thrilled to announce that the Kiwanis Club of Oak Bay has been selected as the 2025 Pacific Northwest District Signature Project Winner - Group II for their incredible Willows Beach Tearoom project!

For 75 years, this project has been a cornerstone of the Oak Bay community in Victoria, BC, serving over 5,000 people annually while providing financial assistance to nonprofit youth and senior programs. The project not only raises significant funds to support scholarships, homeless teens, Scouts/Guides, and senior housing initiatives, but also creates job opportunities for 10-12 local high school students each year.

The impact of this project is undeniable, raising an average of $50,000 annually while bringing the community together in a truly meaningful way. Congratulations to the Kiwanis Club of Oak Bay on this well-deserved recognition!

These entries will now advance to Kiwanis International, where they will compete for top honors against clubs from around the world. We wish them the best of luck!
