Division 3 LG Holds his first DCM

Nothing like starting off the new Kiwanis administrative year by having your very first Divisional Council meeting on the same day you take office!   Members from the 7 clubs within Division 3 joined together at the Lochiel Kiwanis Community Centre in Sarnia, Ontario for the first of LG David Murray's meetings scheduled over this next year.  It was not the greatest day for driving from Windsor, Leamington Forest or Chatham but they made the trek and arrived.  At least it wasn't snowing!! 
This was a time for reflection for PLG Cathy Telfer as she remarked on highlights from her past 2 years as our LG.  It has been a learning experience and one that she will cherish forever.  As per the custom within our division, the incoming LG gives a token of appreciation to the outgoing LG for all their hard work during their years of leadership.  The group, including LG David is not quite sure what the significance of a multi-head screwdriver has to do with Kiwanis work but I will take a stab at it.  Cathy was always flexible, helping to fix things that came her way.  She tried many different venues hence, the many headed screwdriver.  A tool that can be adapted for several functions.  This was Cathy in her quiet, reserved, refined way.  Always at the read to help out when asked.  As LG David said, he has big shoes to fill!  Not really, size 8 I think!

As the morning progressed, the new LG was inducted, Past Gov. Allen Ure made his remarks and thanked Trustee Sheila Donald for her support over the past year.  He presented her with a special pin that was created for the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis in Canada by a US company.  Gov. Allen also presented PLG Cathy with an identical pin for all her hard work, feedback and guidance over the last year.

LG David was pleased at the support that he is receiving from the members of the Sarnia-Lambton Golden K and the members of the other clubs within the division.  A great morning well spent.
Thank you PLG Cathy for all your hard work.  LG David is hitting the ground running as he begins his rounds to the clubs for Officer Inductions over the next few weeks.  Good Luck and safe journeys.
