Howard Bacon - 1 year (Howard is a 50+ year veteran of the club)
Brian Winslow - 2 years
Steve Loughlin - 4 years
Larry Murphy - 4 years
Roger Landry - 7 years

Kiwanian of the Year was presented by last year's winner, Roger Landry. Roger noted that this year's winner "has been known to attend meetings even though we don't have them"..."he's been known to man a post at the Weirs when he's not scheduled"... This years award went to Larry Murphy. In Larry's absence, Brian Winslow accepted the award on behalf of Larry.

Brian noted that depending on the side of the room Larry sits on, "he didn't see this coming."
