MY KIWANIS MOMENT (from Kiwanis International Magazine) Title: Kiwanis at Ripken Stadium By Althea Conway Category: Service Projects Bel Air Kiwanis Club President Patricia Weiss with member Mark Lazoff and son. (N0 Picture here) On August 13, 2009, the Kiwanis Club of Bel Air, Maryland, hosted the inter-club meeting for Division 12 of the Capital District. It was held at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, Maryland. One-hundred and seventy people came from around the district to celebrate this occasion. Clubs participating were East Baltimore, Hampden Midtown, Loch Raven, Parkville, Reisterstown and Upper Chesapeake. We were told that it was the largest turnout at Ripken Stadium for a nonprofit organization. The ticket was only $10 and included a Iron Bird hat. The scoreboard acknowledged all of the clubs. Since we have partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs, the Bel Air Kiwanis Club invited the Harford County Clubs to attend. Thirty-eight young people came and we treated them to a voucher of $5 to buy food along with an entrance ticket. They also enjoyed getting a hat. Also attending were Key Club members from Patterson Mill High School in Bel Air. In 2007, this school was named the number-one high school in the United States for math and science. Their advisor is Janice Greenwood and is a member of the Bel Air Kiwanis Club. One of their members threw out the first pitch along with a member of the Boys & Girls Club. For those not familiar with Ripken Stadium, it was named after our Major League Baseball Hall-of-Famer Cal Ripken, who was born and raised in Aberdeen, Maryland, and played for the Baltimore Orioles. His father had been a manager and coach. The stadium is very nice and has a minor league team called the Iron Birds. They also have three fields designed after major league stadiums. In August each year, a World Series is held for 8-12 year old boys from around the world. Some of them were there to watch the game when Kiwanis was recognized. Carl Conway, a past Bel Air club president, was instrumental in organizing this night with the Iron Birds at Ripken Stadium.
