KIWANIS CLUB OF GUELPH
Hether Fleming - 2023 / 2024 Current President
Hether has been a Kiwanian for 3 plus years and has been involved with the Kiwanis Music Festival for 16 years. Heather has maintained active involvement with Club events, fundraisers, and service projects. She is passionate about the work Kiwanis does in and around our community to enhance the lives of those in need and give children and families opportunities they might not have otherwise. “I love getting my hands dirty and helping with cabin renovations and gardening at Belwood Lodge and Camp. It’s an incredible experience to witness the impact Belwood Camp has on the lives of the campers and their families!”
As the Coordinator of the Kiwanis Music Festival, she dedicates countless hours annually to ensure aspiring young musicians can take part in exceptional musical experiences. As the largest youth services program for the arts in our community, the Festival is able to provide performance opportunities second to none!
“I am thrilled to be serving as Club President. I look forward to working with the club’s dedicated and passionate individuals to achieve our many goals to become even more impactful in our community this year and into the future!”
Chris Bisson -2021 / 2022 & 2022 / 2023 Past President
Chris joined Kiwanis over 20 years ago and has been an active member ever since. “I remember attending the Kiwanis vs Belwood Counsellors baseball game in the first few months of being a member. That experience changed my life.” Supporting the camp for kids and young adults with intellectual disabilities, and being involved with other service projects like the Kiwanis Music Festival, are what gives Chris energy to fundraise and volunteer.
“Knowing the money we raise and the physical effort members put in goes toward such amazing projects makes me feel great about the work this organization continues to do.” Here’s to another 100 years of service in Guelph and Wellington County!
