Zone 1 Kin of The Year
The year 1964 was a monumental one for
the Goderich Kinsmen and one of their
members in particular. It was in October of
that year that five members of the Goderich
Kinsmen; Maurice Gardiner, Jack Cumm-
ings, Ken McGee, Bill Hanly and Bill
Kirkey, travelled to Niagara Falls to attend
the Annual District One Fall Council
Meeting.
All club presidents within the district,
together with the district executive headed
by Kinsmen Governor Mait Edgar of Clin-
ton, attended. One of the main purposes of
the gathering was to choose the Kinsman of
the Year.
The coveted award is given annually to
the member who best exemplifies the mean-
ing of the Kinsmen organization. A standing
ovation greeted Bill Kirkey that night as his
name was read as the winner.
Awarded on the basis of active participa-
tion, the Kinsman of the Year trophy stands
as recognition to the outstanding, devoted
service shown by Mr. Kirkey to his local
club and his community.
A Goderich version of a ticker tape parade
followed the next weekend in honor of the
work done by Mr. Kirkey on behalf of the
Goderich Kinsmen. Sitting high with his
huge trophy, Bill's smile could be seen for
miles that day.
Even today, Bill Kirkey stands as a shin-
ing example of what a Kinsman is. He gives
freely of his time to help others and is
always first to donate to a worthy cause.
1964 was a big year, Bill, and they've got-
ten better and better as time passes.
