Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers
dedicated to changing the world
one child and one community at a time.
LEGION OF MERIT
NEW ENGLAND RECOGNITION
The New England District of Kiwanis International has instituted a program to honor those members who have contributed their time and their energy in making their communities, and therefore the world, a better place to live.
The Legion of Merit program is the means to honor those members who have achieved 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of Kiwanis service.
The program consists of a pin and a certificate. Pins are 5 years, copper; 10 years, bronze; 15 years, silver; 20 years, gold. The certificate is suitable for framing for your home or office.
The number of years does not have to be in one club, and membership does not have to be continuous. A member is considered eligible if he or she is within six months of the required number of years.
LEGION OF MERIT ORDER FORM
John J. Maihos, Legion of Merit Chair
For each member the cost is $4.95 for the pin and certificate. Please make the check payable to the New England District of Kiwanis. Mail the check to John J. Maihos for proper record keeping. Your order will be processed as soon as possible, but for planning purposes, please allow 4 weeks.
When do you make the presentation? This is up to each club. When the presentations are made, do publicity within your club, your division, and to the district. Do publicity to the public, which is a great way to let the community know about Kiwanis.

The success of Kiwanis, at all levels, is largely due to the strong, effective, and active service of thousands of Kiwanians. This is especially true in communities with Kiwanis Clubs.
Many dedicated individuals have achieved years of service to Kiwanis. Due to this service, they deserve recognition for helping to make Kiwanis the great organization it is today.
