Last nights Division 12 meeting was held at the Good Shepard Home in Fostoria. It was also The Fostoria Clubs 80th Anniversary. Several clubs attended, Bellevue (3), Fostoria (22), Fremont (5), Norwalk (3), Port Clinton (6), Sandusky (4), Tiffin (6), Willard (6). After Division business the speaker was Leonard Skonecki, a local Fostoria Historian. He was fantastic. He did research on the Fostoria Clubs building of Portage Park. The club started the project in 1971 and due to government agencies, grants and other hurdles was completed in 1978 and opened in 1980. The story, humor and the Fostoria Kiwanis members adding to it was interesting. The club also presented awards to some its past members. As a member of Kiwanis its always refreshing to see the difference we make coming from a different clubs perspective as each communities needs and club is unique.
I appreciate having the opportunity to take part in the celebration and I think I can speak for our club saying good luck in the future to the Fostoria club and continue on for another 80+ years!
