This resolution commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of Glens Falls, New York, which will occur on March 25, 2025, by formally recognizing the organization's significant community contributions. The Kiwanis Club, part of a global network with 367,000 members worldwide, focuses on improving communities by serving children and promoting social, business, and professional standards. With 75 members, the Glens Falls club is the largest in the Mohawk Division and has been recognized as a "Distinguished Club" for four consecutive years. The organization is particularly notable for its youth development efforts, including operating Key Clubs in 10 area high schools, providing over $40,000 in annual scholarships, and supporting various community service projects like donating books to Head Start programs, hosting fundraising events, and supporting Kamp Kiwanis for underserved youth. The resolution celebrates the club's commitment to community service, leadership, and civic pride, and officially acknowledges its centennial milestone by pausing legislative deliberations to honor the organization's achievements. As part of the resolution, an official, suitably engrossed copy will be transmitted to the Kiwanis Club of Glens Falls.
