KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

HONOR CLUB

The Kiwanis Club of Columbine has been recognized as a Kiwanis International Foundation Honor Club.  Honor Club status was created to recognize clubs who have excelled in supporting the Foundation's endowment and Worldwide Service Project, through contributions to the Tablet of Honor and George F. Hixson  Fellowship programs.  Lt. Governor Dick Lisseveld made the official honor club banner presentation to club president Hazel Kinzer on November 1, 2000.  The banner includes the name patches of all Kiwanis Club of Columbine Tablet of Honor recipients and George F. Hixson Fellows, along with a master patch for each of these two categories.

LEGION OF HONOR

The success of Kiwanis results from the strong and active service of thousands of Kiwanis-club members. With the Legion of Honor Award, you have the privilege of recognizing Kiwanians who have been club members for 25 years or more. A Kiwanian must have at least 25 years of Kiwanis-club membership. (The 25 years do not have to be consecutive, and they can be accumulated in more than one club.) After recognition for 25 years of service, a member is again eligible to receive the award for 30 years, again for 35 years and so on. A member is eligible for each when he or she is within six months of the reaching that milestone.

LIFE MEMBER STATUS

Life member status provides a unique opportunity for acknowledging Kiwanians who qualify for special recognition. Individuals who achieve life member status are those who perpetuate the Objects of Kiwanis and objectives of Kiwanis International. Recipients must hold active membership in a currently chartered Kiwanis club. A club may apply for life member status to honor its president or any other club member. A family or friend may apply through a club. A division may apply to honor its lieutenant governor or past lieutenant governor. A district may apply to honor a district officer, past or present.
