There will be a lot of activity at this year's Mid-Year Conference, including informational sessions, training for incoming Kiwanis officers, and the latest on what's happening.

Past Governor Don Herring and his lieutenant governors will be honored, and Rev. Frederick Bush will be the convention honoree.

And while club representatives are there, they also will contribute disaster to the district's disaster relief program and conduct a shower for Kamp Kiwanis, providing items that will help with next summer's kamping season.

A new program at the event will celebrate the diversity in Kiwanis and add some fun. Divisions are being asked to sponsor hospitality rooms featuring the heritage of New Yorkers. Divisions, working alone or in cooperation with others, are asked to let the committee know the theme for their room in anticipation of the event.

The registration form for the Mid-Year Conference in February at the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa is available. Note that there are no phone reservations; they must be faxed or mailed directly to the hotel.
