Parsippany Kiwanis Present Member with Highest Honor

The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany recognized one of their own with the highest honor bestowed by the Kiwanis International Foundation: The Tablet of Honor.

Steve Dickens presented Joyce Garrow with the Tablet of Honor during the club’s Annual Holiday celebration at the Hanover Manor.

“Joyce was recognized because of her dedicated service to the community, Kiwanis and the world. This is a better place to live because of your service and commitment. The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany is pleased to present to her with this beautiful plaque, a pocket crest, and a pin,” according to a release.

The Kiwanis International Foundation established the Tablet of Honor in 1965 to honor individuals, groups, clubs or others that have exemplified dedicated service to Kiwanis, their club, community or mankind. A contribution of $2,000 from the Greater Parsippany Kiwanis’ own Foundation is placed in the Kiwanis International Foundation’s endowment fund where only the earnings are used to provide grants in support of Kiwanis sponsored programs, disaster relief, and the needs of children around the world.
