The Kiwanis Club of Burbank Installs New Officers and Board of Directors
The 94th Annual Installation Dinner was held on October 1st, 2015 at The Castaway Restaurant in Burbank, CA. It was an evening to celebrate the accomplishments of the club during the 2014-2015 term and to renew our commitment to the children of the world for our 2015-2016 term!
2014-2015 Kiwanis Club of Burbank President Diane Cripe
Cynthia Faust was Installed as the 2015-2016 Kiwanis Club of Burbank President. This just as she ended her tenure as 2014-2015 Cal-Nev-Ha Division 16 Lt Governor!
2014-2015 Club President Diane Cripe is taking over as Cal-Nev-Ha Division 16 Lt. Governor. This lady is so full of the spirit of service that she was even heard saying she wished she had another year as President of the Club! Diane thanked the 2014-2015 Board of Directors by making a donation to the Eliminate Program in each Director’s name!
As her last official duty as Club President, Diane gave out the Annual awards to deserving Kiwanians!
2014-2015 Club President Diane Cripe Gives Randy Harken the Rookie of the Year Award!
The first was a Special Award to everyone’s cousin, Harvey Branman, for his continuing efforts as the #1 recruiter in the club, organizing a very successful membership drive and for being the “Town Crier” for the Kiwanis Club of Burbank!
Randy Harken was Awarded the Rookie of the Year Award. Randy took over as the organizer of the club team for the Relay for Life Burbank – he didn’t really know what it would all be about, but he jumped in with both feet and did a fabulous Job! We are moved by the Spirit of Service displayed by so many of our members!
