July 2010

From the annoucement of ELIMINATE*, the new Internatioanl Service Project,to Jay Leno, Cirque du Soliel and Sylvester Neal's Right of Fire....Las Vegas was ablaze with activity and excitement. Plus....did you know that throughout the convention, you could follow the events live on Twitter?
       twitter.com/Kiwanis

District Convention at Reno looks to be quite an event as well. I hope we have good representation of clubs on the floor of delegates. At our last DCM you met with the candidates for Governor Elect--Gary Jander and Richard Olmstead. Proposed amendments are now posted online:
     www.cnhkiwanis.org/Files/ProposedAmendmentsBooklet.pdf
Plus there will opportunities to get together including a great combined Division 12 / Division 34 dinner and hospitality.

I hope you can join us at convention in August as we celebrate a great year and prepare 2010-2011.

In Service

June 2010

What do Special Games, CLE training and the Governor's Visit, have in common? 

Howabout involvement from two strong Kiwanis Divisions--
Division 12 and Division 34?

Collaborative efforts across Divisions involving members throughout the spectrum of the Kiwanis Family clubs show how we can have a huge impact joining together and serving the children of the world.

Thank you, Kiwanis Family.   What a turnout for

Special Games! Kiwanis, Circle K, Key Club, Aktion Clubs, and community volunteers showed up in force. We did not disappoint the kids who ask at the first day of school, "When is Special Games."  You came to Special Games and now you know why you joined Kiwanis. Put it on your calendar: May 20, 2011.  (Put it on your friends' calendars too.)

2010 Silicon Valley Tour de Cure, another success, demonstrated how the Kiwanis family pulls together to perform a monumental task.  Great job Dick Angus, Jim Stinger and all of Division 34 handling logistics for the race with such behind the scenes tasks as staffing refreshment stations, running SAG wagons transporting riders and gear, setting up signs, taking down signs and providing the support without which this major fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association would not be possible.

May 2010

Kiwanis offers so many CHOICES... Between a Pet Parade in Los Altos and
a BBQ, I missed the Greater San Mateo Club's Jazz Concert Benefit last week, but great reviews indicate we may be seeing this event in future years.

If you haven't checked out online Kiwanis Family activity lately, you're missing out. Kiwanis clubs, Key Club and Circle K are getting great responses to events on Social Networking sites like Facebook and exposure on Youtube. Clubs are checking out the member management features of Kiwanis One. For few years now, just about all of the handouts from conventions
can be found....online. Have you thought about documenting your events and posting the manuals online? Special Games has been a model for online documentation for years now. Everything you need to know about Special Games is at.... www.k-sg.org.

April 2010

We are getting into full gear with Division service projects.  We need your help...especially with the upcoming Kiwanis One Day and the Al Julian Track and Field Meet.....both in April:

Kiwanis One Day is April 10th--"Kiwanis members work in their communities all year long. But for one day in April each year, the entire Kiwanis family—Kiwanis Kids, Builders Club, Key Club, Circle K, Aktion Club and Kiwanis clubs—comes together for a day of hands-on community service that is felt around the world"

Al Julian Track and Field Meet is April 17th--"The Track Meet strives to promote active lifestyles and sportsmanship, providing an opportunity for kids to be the best they can be, reflecting the mission of the Hershey’s International Track and Field Event which is to provide a quality recreation and school program where children have fun and are introduced to physical fitness through basic track and field events such as running, jumping and throwing."

Thank you all who attended the mid-year conference.  The highlight of the day was the Gala Dinner-the 1950's Sock Hop. Division 34 Kiwanians had reason to dance to the music of Elvis--Past Lt. Governor Bill Menafra was honored by a Dunlap upgrade and an announcement that an annual $2,000 scholarship has been established in Bill's honor. 

Our thoughts are with the family of Tom Damon. Tom Damon, Past Lt. Governor (1997-98) passed away February 18th.  Memorial Services will be held this Saturday, March 20th, at 2:30 in Palo Alto at the Covenant Presbyterian Church, 270 East Meadow. Tom was 88.  .

In Service....
