Roswell Kiwanis Bids Farewell to Popular Member

Thanks to Stacyann Gabbidon with the Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell for the information and photos about last week's sendoff for one of their most popular members:

Over 40 Kiwanians gathered for an evening of fun and fellowship – dubbed “Kiwanis Night Out” – to bid farewell to Jim Hirz who has been a member of the club for 12 years.  Mr. Hirz is relocating to the Tampa area with his wife, Carol.

Mayor Jere Wood, who is a charter member of the club, read a proclamation that declared November 15, 2013 as “Jim Hirz Day.” 

Jim Hirz joined the Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell in October 2001, and served as president in 2005-2006 after which he was presented with the prestigious Kiwanis Hixson Fellowship. He also served as Membership Committee Chair during which he doubled the size of the club.

During his tenure at the club he was elected Georgia Kiwanis Division 14 Lt. Governor for 2009-2010. For his service of distinction he was awarded the Georgia Kiwanis Leadership Medallion in 2010 by then Georgia Kiwanis Governor, Nancy Walden.

Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. The Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell, chartered in August 1980, meets every Thursday at noon by Red Lobster in Roswell.
