TABLE OF CONTENTS

Welcome

MY FELLOW KIWANIANS AND GUESTS,

On behalf of the Kiwanis International Board of Trustees, welcome to New Orleans and the 2012 Kiwanis International Convention! Also, welcome to Circle K International and Aktion Club members who are joining us as we celebrate our many efforts for children, families and communities around the world.

We have a lot of exciting workshops and events planned for you, including motivational speakers Sean and Leigh Tuohy, and James Carville and Mary Matalin. And there will be plenty of time to experience the unique sounds and tastes that makes the “Big Easy” a top destination.

This year, we’re also celebrating the 25th anniversary of women in Kiwanis. Plan to attend the workshops and other special events throughout the week where we will be highlighting our female trailblazers.

I hope you’ll join us for our Legends concert featuring New Orleans natives and Grammy-award winners Branford Marsalis and Aaron Neville.

Thank you for your service to children, families and communities around the globe.

Alan Penn President, Kiwanis International

WELCOME, Y’ALL

Welcome to New Orleans! Now that you’re here, I don’t have to tell you how wonderful this city really is—you’re seeing it for yourself.

And that’s just what you should do. Get out and have a look around. See what we have to offer. You’ve heard all about the food, the architecture, the music. Well, guess what: it’s all true.

The saying around these parts is, “We’re jazzed you’re here.” And we are. Truly. So get out there and live it up. It’s New Orleans! It’s my city. It’s your city. And we’re gonna have fun.

Joe L. Pratt Host committee chairman
