  • You take the cake, Key Club

    May 22, 2011

    Key Club is turning 86 years old! How are you going to celebrate? The first Key Club was created in May 1925 at Sacramento High School in California under the direction of vocational education teacher and Kiwanian Frank C. Vincent, known as the “Father of Key Club.” He wanted a group that would compete with the elite student fraternities of the time to serve the home, school and community and improve school spirit. How do you think he did?

  • Kevin Meeks awarded Key Club International’s Linda Canaday Memorial Scholarship

    May 09, 2011

    Kevin Meeks of Wetumka High School in Wetumka, Oklahoma, has been awarded with the Linda Canaday Memorial Scholarship from Key Club International.

    Kevin, son of Clay and Kimberly Meeks, will use the US$1,500 scholarship as he begins his college career at Oklahoma State University this fall.

    “Kevin exemplifies the legacy that Linda Canaday left as first lady of Kiwanis International,” said Stan Soderstrom, executive director of Kiwanis International. “His leadership abilities and the devoted service to his community are impressive.”

    The Linda Canaday Memorial Scholarship is funded by family and friends in memory of Kiwanian and 2008-09 First Lady Linda Canaday, wife of Kiwanis International Past President Don Canaday. More than 125 entries were judged by an esteemed panel of Kiwanis International board members and the Canaday family.

    “Kevin is a one-of-a-kind student and a great leader in his school,” said City of Wetumka Mayor Brent McGee in his recommendation letter. “I suspect he will be an important community leader in the near future.”
