Join Us and Make a Difference!
Happy Monday everyone! October kicks off the new administrative year for Kiwanis, so we hope everyone can attend today's first meeting of the new year!
Monday, October 5, will be a special meeting as we officially welcome our 2026–2027 Board of Directors and celebrate the people who make Rock Island Kiwanis what it is.
We’ll be joined by our new Lt. Governor, Cathie Rochau, for the officer installation, followed by Immediate Past President Joan Kranovich’s outgoing remarks and President David Levin’s incoming message as he begins his year of leadership.
We’ll also celebrate our newest member, Marshall Dismer, while recognizing the many members who have given years, even decades, of service to Rock Island Kiwanis
Come be part of this special day as we celebrate where we’ve been and look forward to where we’re going!
Sincerely,
President Joan
