District Convention
By Robert Bell
With the beauty of Mt. Spokane seen from the hotel balcony, the camaraderie of old and new friends, and COVID concerns, this was a unique DCON! We were excited to advertise our upcoming Salmon BBQ at the Doernbecher display table. Pictured above are the members of our club who were at DCON, Robert Bell, Frank and Beth Morehouse and John Brookens. Pictured below is the new Governor-Elect, David Crozier on the left; and Immediate Past Governor, Melanie Bozakis, is on the right.

The 2021 PNW District Convention was conducted by the current (2020-2021) Governor of the PNW District, Lonnie Johnson. In excess of 200 Kiwanians were in attendance. In 2020, because of the pandemic, the PNW District was unable to hold its normal convention. For many of the Kiwanians who were able to attend this year’s convention in Spokane, it was a great time to reunite with their Kiwanis friends throughout the Pacific Northwest District from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Alaska. Frank, Beth and I enjoyed seeing many PNW District Kiwanians. At the Convention, the PNW District Governor for 2021-2022, Greg Wegrich, shared his vision for the coming year. Greg’s term begins October 1, 2021. The principal activity at the convention was the election of the Pacific Northwest District Governor-Elect for 2021-2022. Nicholas Hafez of the Kiwanis Club of Hillsboro was one of the two individuals seeking the position. Nicholas is a past Lt. Governor for Division 63, which is the Kiwanis Division that our club is in. Although Nicholas made an excellent presentation to the delegates at the convention, he was not elected. David Crozier, of the Kiwanis Club of Port Townsend, Washington, was elected Governor-Elect for the Pacific Northwest District for 2021-2022.
