CONGRATULATIONS MIKE CONNELL
We
presented long-time member Mike Connell with the Kiwanis International
Arrowhead Award for his club leadership at the June 16 meeting. He has
served the club for 21 years in various responsibilities from president
to committee chairs. One of his most notable responsibilities has been
the pancake feed food chair for many years---a big job to keep track of
all products and make sure they are available for this annual event
that serves over 1,000 people each year. He is retiring as
superintendent of Wahpeton Schools in July and will be leaving our
community. Thanks Mike for a great job!!
