IMG_0455.JPG=Thoughtful discussion takes place, as you can see.  Zone Administrator Tom French is in the PC zone discussion.
IMG_0359.JPG=The Key Club leadership team is also bright and alert for the K-Family Weekend’s kick off.  Former CKI and now Kiwanian Justin Garrow, seen later, will lead the ice breakers with games and skit ideas you could not imagine.
IMG_0444.JPG=Now look at this closely.  The CKI Board takes tele-computing up a notch.  While seated at a large conference table, board members look at each other and ‘talk’ by interactive PCs at the table.  Yes, they do some actual verbal talking while keyboarding too.  Quite efficient, really, and it’s all recorded.  A moderator “the Gov” keeps them on topic.  Try it!

IMG_0355.JPG=CKI leaders are ready for the Friday night opening session of “the ice breakers”.  Ready to party!
IMG_0346.JPG=The K-Family Weekend, a gathering of the Key Club and CKI leaders and Boards of Directors with the new Kiwanis Leadership Team begins with a Friday Cookout at the Front Royal Retreat.  A perfectly in control Chef Past Governor Charlie Adams is amazed he can stir up such a fire with those nice hot dogs and hamburgers.  Note the flames keep him hopping.  They were just right!  Concerned Fire Tender Bill Hand stands at the ready with a fire extinguisher ... a bottle of water.
IMG_0464.JPG=Capital District Kiwanis Administrator Joe Stankus is head chef at the big cookout for sixty people or so.  I found out that’s so he can BBQ his own steak just right … still mooing.  I agree.  Great job, Joe!  On the whole weekend production, too!
IMG_0352.JPG=The eating went on into darkness.  We all can eat twice as much at a cookout … and we do!
IMG_0480.JPG=Skit time!  What could you and five others think of to use ten rolls of toilet paper?  Why you dress up Governor Designate Tom Ganse as “The Man Who Wear’s the K”, with muscles!  You had to be there.  Next year, you should be!

IMG_0496.JPG=For Sunday morning, it’s a little traditional creative decorating of “Mr. Stankus’ car”.  Nicely done!  By whom?
IMG_0499.JPG=Joe’s decorated license says it all:  “Key Club.  Kids First”.  Thanks, Joe for all you do for the K-Family!

IMG_0399.JPG=As you can see, Assistant Administrator Bill Hand is on the job … and he’s not off his rocker.
IMG_0358.JPG=The Key Club leadership team is also bright and alert for the K-Family Weekend’s kick off.  Former CKI and now Kiwanian Justin Garrow, seen later, will lead the ice breakers with games and skit ideas you could not imagine.

IMG_0390.JPG=Later, after the opening session, we all gather at the bonfire for roasted marsh mellows and gooey somores.  Nicole McDermott, Key Leader Chair and IPG Bob Cressy get their somore treats.
IMG_0452.JPG=You can tell by his look, Distinguished CKI Administrator Jeff Wolff is in full agreement with that point on the PC.

IMG_0457.JPG=Next, after the Board meetings, it’s back to the Saturday night steak & chicken cookout.  IPG Bob Cressy, Community Service Chair Jen Dugent and Kiwanis Governor Art Riley are ready to go … eat.
IMG_0363.JPG=CKI Governor Heather Waite adds her welcome to all from CKI. Ready to Go!
IMG_0476.JPG=Later, back at the Saturday night session, it’s Kiwanian & Past CKI-er Justin Garrow ready for more of his crazy and creative group games.  Just look at that mischevious face.  There’s a bit of the devil in those eyes.  You can not imagine where he gets these game ideas.  We’d never think of them.  They work!
