The "K-Family Weekend" Brings Together the Key Club & CKI Boards with Kiwanis Leadership Team
a Photo Essay by Immediate Past Governor Bob Cressy

Have you ever been on a "K-Family Weekend"? You'd never forget it, I'll tell you. Just what is a K-Family weekend anyway? Well, its definition is really the Kiwanis Family Weekend. Its purpose is to gather the current Key Club Board, the CKI Board and the new Kiwanis leadership team, especially all of the 2008-2009 Lieutenant Governors, SLP advisors and K-Family Governors. They assemble for most of three days to work and play together, to share ideas, plans and to get to know one another while coordinating their goals. more or view event photo album

Jim Leder Receives Cap. Dist. Foundation Founder's Society Award
by IPG Bob Cressy

September 12th: Dr. Jim Leder (on the left with Bob Cressy on the right) was surprised with a presentation of a Capital District Kiwanis Foundation, Founder's Society Award at the 35th Annual Bethesda Kiwanis Golf Classic dinner at Bretton Woods Golf Course, Potomac, Maryland. "Dr. No", as he is sometimes known in jest, is for his gruff, pointed insistence that "you will play and bring friends to the tournament". It works. He has been the chair of the golf outing for over thirty years and has spearheaded raising almost a million dollars, he reckons by the tournaments. Jim is a Bethesda Club Past President, Past Lieutenant Governor of Division 17 and is always active in Kiwanis projects. The golf tournament is the major fund raiser for the Club with proceeds going to the Suburban Hospital Pediatric Center and other club charities. The Bethesda Club honored him with this recognition and Past Governor Bob Cressy, his friend for over thirty years, made the presentation. What a great way to say "Thanks, Jim"!
