Kiwanis Member Honored for 25 Years of Service
Kiwanis International has two different award programs to recognize members who have served their communities through Kiwanis for several years. The oldest of these is the Legion of Honor program for members who have been a member for at least 25 years. At our regular weekly meeting the Kiwanis Club of Midvale/Ft. Union honored Glen Purdie for consistently serving in the organization for 25 years.
One Kiwanis member reminisced, “A few things that immediately come to mind [is Glen's] involvement in the Key Club [of Oakland] and how much the kids like [him]. [He would] work side by side with them in their service projects…One year we had six Key Clubbers going to convention so [glen and his wife] helped arrange limousine transportation. The kids had such a great time “being celebrities” in their chauffeur driven limo that the next year we had tripled the number of kids for convention.”
Glen continues to be an example of witty, light-hearted humor, and dedicated service to those in need – particularly children in the community. We are grateful for him, his wife, and all he has done in the past 25 years for Kiwanis. Here’s to the next 25!
