2021 Kiwanian of the Year

Richard Plotkin was recognized as the 2021 Kiwanian of the Year the Sept. 29 club meeting. Plotkin currently serves as the club treasurer and as chairman of the Bookcase Project committee. The award is presented annually to a Kiwanis member who has demonstrated outstanding service to the club and to the community.

Immediate Past President Brett McDaniel recognized Plotkin for his contributions to the club, noting that was instrumental as the club took over the bookcase project in making sure the project had a successful year.

"The Conway Kiwanis Club provided personalized book cases and a starter book collection to 50 children enrolled in Community Action Program for Central Arkansas Head Start," McDaniel said. "In a year, where we were unable to have our regular fundraiser, Richard made sure this project continued. We are so thankful for his dedication to the club and to the children in our community."

The Kiwanis Club of Conway welcomes new members who want to serve their community. Information about becoming a member is available at conwaykiwanis.org or by joining the weekly meeting at noon each Wednesday at Larry’s Pizza in Conway. Members are also able to attend the meetings via zoom.
