Awards

Our Club has won numerous awards over the years but one award we are especially proud of is one given out at our annual meeting of the clubs of our Zone called Spring Zone:

KIN JOHN SEARS SERVICE AWARD

Kin John Sears joined this Association in March of 1968 by becoming a member of the Kinsmen Club of Nashwaaksis. He soon became involved on the executive, holding the office of Bulletin Editor in the 68-69 Kin year. The next year (69-70) he held the office of Vice President and was the International Relations Chair at the District level. He was then elected club President for the 1970-1971 Kin Year.

In May of 1971 Kin John moved to Newfoundland, where he joined the Kinsmen Club of Cornerbrook. After being diagnosed with MS, Kin John moved back to Fredericton and rejoined the Nashwaaksis Kinsmen in May 1973. He was elected Zone 6 Deputy Governor for the 1974-75 Kin year. In 1978 the Kinsmen Club of Nashwaaksis honoured Kin John with the highest award in our Association, his Life Membership.

Not only was Kin John active with the Kinsmen, he also joined the MS Society in January 1975. In his initial year as a member, Kin John was elected to the Board of Directors and in 1977 he was elected the President of the MS Society, Atlantic Division.

At the Fall Council meeting in 1977 Kin John moved that the Kinsmen and Kinettes of District 7 accept the MS Society as a recipient of our assistance, of course, this motion was carried. He was elected President of the Fredericton MS Chapter of the MS Society in 1976-77 and again in 1979-80. To no surprise Kin John served on the National Board of the MS Society from 1976-82.

In 1978 Kin John was elected to the NB Board of the Canadian Rehabilitation Council (CRCD), which he served as President for the years 1986-88 then again from 1988-90. He was instrumental in involving the NB Snowmobile Association with CRCD in 1986 and the NB Golf Association in 1989. He was also Atlantic Vice-President for the CRCD from 1988-90 and was elected and served on the National Board from 1986-1992.

In sports Kin John excelled as well. He was named the top golfer for the first 50 years of the NB Golf Association. In 1984 he was inducted into the NB Sports Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in golf, and he was inducted to the Fredericton Sport Wall of Fame in 1992.
