Courtesy call highlights charitable excellence

Governor of Kiwanis Eastern Canada and the Caribbean Robert 'Bobby' Moo Young and a delegation of Kiwanis leaders in Division 23 East made a courtesy call on Sir Patrick Allen, governor general of Jamaica, recently.

During his visit to the Kiwanis Eastern Canada and the Caribbean, Moo Young also participated in a cocktail reception with selected Kiwanians and executives at the divisional level, luncheon with Key Club student leaders, media appearances, and a service project at the Bustamante Children's Hospital.
