93rd Kiwanis International Convention
June 26-29, 2008
Orlando, FL
Orange County Convention Center

Kiwanis International members from around the world elected new officers to lead the service organization during their 93rd annual convention, June 26-28, in Orlando, Fla. Elected were Don Canaday, of Fishers, Ind., as International President-Designate, Paul Palazzolo, of Springfield, Ill., as President-Elect-Designate, and Sylvester Neal, of Auburn, Wash., as Vice President-Designate.  More than 5,500 international Kiwanis club delegates and guests attended the meeting.

"We are filled with gratitude and humility at your allowing us to take the reins of this great organization," said President-Designate Don. "We are excited and prepared to hit the ground running for another year of Kiwanis service and growth - in the tradition cultivated and nurtured by our predecessors - the past presidents and leaders of Kiwanis International."

Kentucky-Tennessee District delegates were at the convention in force.

Not only did the Kentucky-Tennessee delegates actively participate in the convention proceedings ... but they had fun in doing it.
