2 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 4, 1999 -- "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Larry receives life membership First president of Port Perry Kinsmen Club honoured for his dedication By Chris Hall Port Perry Star Almost 30 years after he played an important role in forming the Port Perry Kinsmen Club, Larry Kendall received its highest award. With a packed house of more than 100 family members, friends, and Kin in attendance, Mr. Kendall was made a life member of the Kinsmen Club of Canada during a special evening in Port Perry on April 24. It was, says Mr. Kendall, a night to remember. "Life Night is quite an experience... one you will never forget, never ever for- get." Looking back on his involvement with the local club, the 30-year-member recalls more than a few good times with the number of area men he has become great friends with. Plans began in September of 1970 on the formation of a Port Perry Kinsmen Club and three months later, the inau- gural meeting was held, recalls Mr. Kendall. "We started thinking about a club 30 years ago, in 1970, and then we got together and it happened... there was 21 of us when we held our first general meeting the first Tuesday of December in 1970," Mr. Kendall said, adding that the local club officially received its charter on Feb. 19, 1971. And the years since then have been busy ones, he recalls. "You name it and we've probably done it," he said with laugh. "We've done blood clinics, the open air ice palace, bingo, fireworks, sled dog races, Oktoberfest, all kinds of volunteer work... over the years we've probably been involved in every- thing," Mr. Kendall said, noting that many hours of work has also gone into raising funds for Cystic Fibrosis, the club's main charity. While eager to discuss the work of the club, Mr. Kendall becomes more than modest when he becomes the subject. "The life award is something the club bestows upon you for service to the club and to the community, but it takes an entire club to do all the things we've done, not just one person. I'd like to think of myself as a team player, not an indi- vidual. "The award they gave me belongs to the whole club... what we do is a joint effort and no matter what it is, we all work together." During his years with the club, Mr. Kendall has held every executive position with the local Kinsmen and joins four other local men as life members. "Kinsmen has to be a way of life for those in the club, those who really enjoy it," said Mr. Kendall, looking over the various plaques and certificates he received with his wife, Doreen. "The people are so very, very nice in their praises of what you do. It's not just me, the whole club deserves the credit too." SPECIAL HONOUR - Larry K Kendall relaxed at his home recently with The Star to reminisce about his involvement with the Kinsmen Club of Port Perry. Mr. Kendall was presented a Life Membership in the Kinsmen Club of Canada for his untiring work on behalf of the club over the past 30 years.
