KIWANIANS FROM around the world have delivered many less fortunate and destitute individuals from their misfortunes, says Sheron Cameron-Dunn, Lieutenant Governor of Division 23 West of the Eastern Canada and Caribbean District of Kiwanis International.
Additionally, they have played a critical role in helping some sixty million children to live meaningful and productive lives, free from the stress of iodine deficiency. However, there is much more left to be done in the process of building a nation, she said.
Mrs. Dunn was speaking at the Golf View Hotel on Thursday, during the installation ceremony for the 2002-2003 administrations of the Kiwanis Clubs of Mandeville and Manchester respectively.
"We build by encouraging people to be the best that they can be, we build through our actions to promote service and we build through developing projects and programmes that benefit our communities," she continued.
While noting that the Kiwanis clubs of Mandeville and Manchester have a remarkable record of achievement, spanning over thirty years, the Lieutenant Governor recognised the members of the clubs who have worked tirelessly to boost the organisation over the years and stressed that, "together, we must continue to expand our commitment to our children, alleviate suffering, bring joy to others and make a positive difference in our communities."
During the ceremony, Wayne Burton was installed as president of the Kiwanis Club of Manchester and Carla Reid as President-elect. Donna Burton, Donna Edwards and Natalie Sparkes will serve as vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively, and Patrick Simms as immediate past president.
Oswald Sanderson will head the 2002-2003 administration for the Kiwanis Club of Mandeville, while Josephine Gayle will serve as president-elect and Colin Leaveane as vice president. Past Lieutenant Governor, Dawn Phillips, was installed as secretary, and Georgia Allen and Eileen Spence as treasurer and immediate past president,
respectively.
