Tours, dedications and work were the themes at the 2012 Kamp Kiwanis Open House on Saturday, May 5.
Above, District Foundation Board President Sal Anelli in front of the still-under-construction Arts and Crafts building at the Kamp. Equipped with storage, lots of working space and rest rooms, the facility is a major upgrade from what had previously existed nearby.
The building was paid for by Anelli's Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge Kiwanis Club and is scheduled to be finished in time for this summer's kamping season.
Work on the building continued through the day on Saturday, with the sign over the door being hung just before the dedication took place.
Many more pictures and information on the day's events can be viewed.
Even though Kiwanis will soon turn 100, we're looking to the future, not the past. With that in mind, a Kiwanis International task force has proposed a new Standard Form for Club Bylaws with Kiwanis' next 100 years in mind.
The Standard Form for Club Bylaws states each club's agreement with Kiwanis International on basic standards to belong to the organization and to use the Kiwanis names and marks.
The Kiwanis International Board is sharing the new proposal for discussion purposes to learn what questions or concerns members may have before the board ultimately adopts the final wording later this year. Members are urged to review the proposal, which includes a summary of changes and frequently asked questions, at www.KiwanisOne.org/proposedclubbylaws. Comments may be sent to the Kiwanis International Office at bylawsspecialist@kiwanis.org.
More information is available.
