The Kiwanis Club of Gloucester, Virginia, is Chartered March 7th
by PG Bob Cressy

Some people think most Kiwanians 'hit the hay' when the sun sets. Not Really. After a day for most at the Hampton Roads Mid-Winter Conference, and after this beautiful sunset on the Chesapeake Bay at Gloucester, Virginia ... the NEW Kiwanis Club of Gloucester was just getting started.
The new club meeting was opened and a wonderful dinner was served by the Gloucester High School Culinary Arts Program, Past Governor John Tyner in support of his New Club Building role introduced the visiting Kiwanians and recognized Kiwanians who organized the club. The Culinary Arts Program is a course of study teaching high school students how to manage and prepare food for large scale catering, restaurant or hotel like functions. This community service program is supported by the new club.
Two Melissa's are all smiles tonight. Melissa Alexander is Club Secretary and Melissa Crawford is Club Treasurer. Congratulations!
Governor Tom did what all Kiwanians should do: Don’t be shy, A.S.K. (Always Sell Kiwanis). After all the Charter members were introduced, Tom said "last chance to be a charter member. Going once, going twice. …" And two more stepped up. Tracy Lanum and Christine DeAlba, #40 and #41. Thanks, ladies! They were ready; their friends were already in!
Charter President Shannon Rose is presented the Gloucester Kiwanis Club Charter dated March 7, 2009, from Kiwanis International by Governor Tom Ganse and Immediate Past Governor Art Riley. This is a historic moment for the Club.
Of course, LG Scott Zimmerman did not miss the opportunity to induct Tracy Lanum and Christine DeAlba on the spot as the newest new members. Forty-one members. Now, that’s a great start! Well done, all!
Now you remember I said, "when the sun goes down …?" Well, here’s Missy Zimmerman, one of many dancing up a storm with all the night's Kiwanians. So ended another Charter Night. Fun!
