Program
George Hendrix subbed for his father Elton and brough us a program about motivational speaking. George shared with us how the Kiwanis Motto that we recite at the beginning of every meeting appealed to him as a former school social worker. As a result, he bought into what Kiwanis does for Children on a worldwide basis. For George it was not only motivational but transformational as well. Thanks, George, for sharing with us.
