The Kiwanis International Foundation Tablet of Honor was authorized in 1965 as a means to honor individuals, Kiwanis clubs, divisions, districts, or organizations that have exemplified dedicated service to Kiwanis, their club, or community. The Tablet of Honor is a vehicle for memorializing Kiwanis leaders, spouses, or friends, as well as a means of honoring a spouse or friend on the anniversary of a special occasion. Tablet of Honor contributions can be made on behalf of an individual, a couple (husband and wife), a club, corporation, or organization. Individuals, however, cannot honor themselves.
Recipients are presented an attractive walnut wall plaque signifying that a minimum contribution of US$2,000 has been made in their name. In addition, the recipient receives a tie tack/lapel pin, and a pocket crest.
Recipients are honored each year at a special Kiwanis International convention reception.
Funds received for a Tablet of Honor will be designated to the Kiwanis International
Foundation Endowment, earnings from which provide grants to clubs and districts
and also support programs such as Key Leader, Service Leadership Programs,
and the Sustainability of Universal Salt Iodization (IDD). If desired, contributors
can direct their donations to one of the specific programs, or they can
indicate that their donation be placed in the general endowment fund. |
