Why did you join Kiwanis? My husband, Ernie, asked me in 1997.  As the spouse of a very active Kiwanian, I knew the important work being done by this group and I had been a part of it as the wife of a former District Governor.  
What is your favorite Kiwanis memory?  Ernie and I served as the District chairs for the Worldwide Service Project – to eliminate iodine deficiency disorder, the world’s leading cause of preventable mental retardation.  The greatest moment is when our district reached and exceeded our goal.
What is your favorite Kiwanis activity? Aktion Club  
If you could ask one local person to join our club who would it be?   It may be bragging but I sponsored our current president (Misty), the president-elect, Frank Black and the current Vice-President who will be president the year after Frank, Sue Lasky.

Did you know?

US Kiwanians cannot claim Kiwanis dues as a personal tax deduction. However, Kiwanis dues may qualify as a deductible business expense when a business pays the costs of Kiwanis membership for an employee. Such a business deduction must also meet the “ordinary and necessary” test and other requirements for deductible business expenses. Kiwanians should consult a qualified tax adviser on all tax questions.
