Montville Kiwanis club welcomes new officers

MONTVILLE TWP. - The Montville Kiwanis Club swore in a new president, Joe Daughtry, and vice president, Michael Johnson, along with Treasurer Doug Cooper and new member of the Board of Directors Manny Irizarry at the annual installation dinner on Friday, Sept. 19, at the Columbia Inn.

Both the incoming president and vice president are the sons of current Kiwanis members, Art Daughtry and Dave Johnson.

Outgoing President Jerry Hug served throughout the 2013-2014 business year.

The parents of both Daughtry and Johnson were present and spoke of their pride in their sons for their past achievements and for their ongoing participation in community projects. Daughtry is the current president of the Drug Awareness Council and Johnson is running for the Board of Education in the upcoming election.

The Montville Kiwanis Club has contributed to several community projects over the years, such as the childrens playgrounds at the Community Park and Camp Dawson, the Kiwanis Food Pantry, scholarships and sponsorship of the High School Key Club and their participation in the High School Key Club and their projects.

The new officers and their committees have many upcoming projects in development, such as restoring the siding at the Food Pantry building and socially, a wine tasting event coming up in early 2015.

Any man or woman who would be interested in joining the Montville Kiwanis can contact Michael Johnson at (973) 316-8450 or e-mail him at Michael.Johnson3@Marist.edu. Former Key Club members are particularly invited to join and regain the spirit of volunteerism that they developed in high school.
