On June 15, 2011, Jay McLaren, Past Lieutenant Governor presented President David Schiller with the "Distinguished Club" status for the year 2009-2010. Our club received this special award only because of the hard work and dedication of its members. As President David remarked, "Your Board members work hard all year to ensure your club is successful and each member enjoys the Kiwanis experience. I wish to give a special thanks to our "Distinguished Secretary" Carin Goodman for keeping the club on track last year for distinguished status and her continued efforts to keep your President in line this year. Thanks again everyone. We are definitely the "Little Club that Can"!
