Fred & Dottie Seals Circle of Service

FRED & DOTTIE SEALS

Fred and Dottie Seals are remembered by thousands as being focused on the efforts to assist young people in becoming better citizens and leaders. They worked to establish the premier leadership program in all of Kiwanis, Weekend Of A Lifetime aka  WOAL. They watched as it grew into a program that has absolutely no doubt made a difference in thousands of young people’s lives. It has been copied but as the saying goes, “often imitated but never duplicated.” Fred and Dottie were a team. You might say they were “joined at the hip” and where one went the other was there also. When Fred became a candidate for Governor-elect and began his campaign, he was first endorsed by Dottie and she was his constant companion. When Fred became governor, there was so much he wanted to accomplish -  especially in the area of youth services. At every turn, Dottie was there with her infectious smile and bubbling with enthusiasm. Sadly, Dottie Seals passed away in January of 2009.  She is missed by many, including Fred who is still an active member of the Kiwanis Club of Norman, OK. 

This award is modeled after the Circle of Service Award presented by CKI. The first recipients, Fred and Dottie, were great supporters of many generations of CKI members. This award is given to a non-CKI member who exemplifies the spirit of service, leadership, and fellowship and is a one-time initiation into the Circle of Service.
