"And I find that people, generally, want to be on a team. They want to be part of something bigger than themselves. They want to be in a situation where they feel that they are doing something for the greater good." - Mike Krzyzewski
On Friday Dena officially became Vice President of the Normal Kiwanis club. She is definitely a walking example of being called to do something for the greater good! Rising before 6 a.m. on some weekdays, attending Board meetings late at night, serving meals at the homeless shelter on Saturday afternoons.
And fortunately she is a VP who is not prone to gaffes - yet! One speaker during the ceremony got to talking about the club's goals and history. At one point, trying to make a point that the club had had one of the first women presidents after Kiwanis formally allowed them in 1987, sort of mistimed his pauses when he declared: "Did you know that Anne was a woman prior to 1987... there were no women presidents in Kiwanis!"
It's a fun club...
