Spotlight on a Model Kiwanis Member: Jack Eliason
by Rosemary Cummings

Who says older members just turn out for lunch? Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis member, Past President Jack Eliason disproves all the rumors. The Rehoboth Beach November Kiwanian of the month, Jack who will be 87 years-old this month, is still working the annual Christmas Creche project and recently sponsored a new member, Margaret Spaulding. His attends all meetings barring an occasional doctor appointment, helps with Club Hospitality, works on all community service projects, and attends Board meetings. Jack, a recent Hixson honoree, will soon become a Legion of Honor Member, as he completes 25 years as a Kiwanian. Jack was pleasantly surprised with a recent Club program, when the presenter was a former Key Club member, which the Rehoboth Club sponsored. Jack has often lamented, there has to be a way to get our Key Club members to join after they graduate from college. This gracious young lady not only gave a good presentation but also took an application and plans to become a member. If more Clubs had older members like Jack, Kiwanis would be stronger and more energetic, as Jack is the "we ought to do this" behind many of the Club projects as he convinces younger members to take on new projects.
