VALUING DIVERSITY Sylvester Neal, V.P. Kiwanis International

I believe we must work harder to make the Kiwanis experience more attractive to the

segments of our society that are under-represented in our clubs. If we are to effectively serve

the communities we represent, we must find ways to attract younger members, and members

from different cultures and backgrounds. We must be flexible and open to change, but at the

same time, maintain the high standard and ideals of our Objects and Core Values.

If Kiwanis is to truly become an organization of inclusion, we must demonstrate that we

value diversity. Our differences will make us a stronger organization. This is a modified

version of how a company defined it.

―Valuing Diversity‖

This concept works at creating an environment in which every individual feels accepted,

respected, valued, and can contribute to the Kiwanis club’s mission. It is more than

numbers. But rather, creating an organizational culture that supports the many differences

that exist in it and which allows full participation. Valuing Diversity is an attitude that

allows for differences in experiences, skills, pproaches, styles, and functions in the

organization. It is a concept that focuses on creating an environment of inclusion where

every member’s needs/values are taken into account.

Wouldn’t you like to be in this club?

***

You will find it easier to do a single, small piece of a large project than to start on the whole

job. -- Brian Tracy

When it comes to building clubs and recruiting members, let’s remember the old adage

about eating an elephant…our goals should be lofty, but do not need to be accomplished in a

single day. Keep your member recruitment goals front and center, and add a member at a

time.

KIWANIS….. TOO GREAT TO BE GOOD By Governor Patricia Hansen

There are a lot of good things that we do as busy parents, grandparents, Kiwanians and

community members….BUT do we do so many good things that we do not have time

for the GREAT things?

I believe that Kiwanis is a great organization. Through my membership in the

organization I have enjoyed association with some of the finest folks I have ever met,

experiencing first hand leadership and service opportunities that mark Kiwanis as a

great organization. In the midst of my Kiwanis service and participation I also enjoy

other volunteer experiences in church and civic related associations. Add to that job

and family obligation and pleasures (family) I am a busy girl. We are all busy people

and that is what makes us great Kiwanis members. They say ―Ask a busy

person…and the job will get done!‖

So, if I believe Kiwanis is a great organization, I must ask myself, ― What makes

Kiwanis great and what am I doing to preserve that greatness?‖

To quote Jim Collins author of, Good to Great ―A great organization is one that

makes a distinctive impact and delivers superior performance over a long period of

time.‖

Kiwanis can make a significant, distinctive impact on the communities in which we

are located. But do we ? Are we the organization that comes to mind first in the

community when someone thinks of a service organization? Do school administrators

speak highly of Kiwanis –Sponsored Youth Programs as leadership development tools

in their school districts? Do we have waiting lists for prospective members? Do youth

leaders laud Kiwanis as a pivotal juncture in their lives? Are the things we do as

Kiwanis activities great or are we satisfied with good?

Ther are so many great Kiwanis clubs in the District. As great clubs you set the bar on

service to youth. You are making a difference in your communities and you are ―the

club‖ to be a part of. Maintaining your ―great‖ status requires constant diligence from

leaders and members alike. You doggedly preserve core values defined as Kiwanis

Objectives and yet you understand the critical importance of stimulating progress.

You take a look at ―how you do things, and never stop making changes to maintain

that greatness.

Is your club a great Kiwanis Club?

A great Club…lives the Kiwanis Objectives.

A great Club…put service to youth as its number one priority.

A great Club… continuously recruits great members.

A great Club… stimulates progress by making necessary changes to fit member

needs.

A great Club…involves all members in Kiwanis Moment experiences.

I have said it before and I will say it again and again, we have enough members to do

the work that we do, but we do not have enough members to do the work that needs to

be done.

“In 100 years, it won't matter what house you lived in, what car you drove, or even

what your clothes looked like. What will matter is that you made a difference in the life

of a child”. - Dr. Forest E. Witcraft

THE HEART By Jim Terry, Human and Spiritual Values Chair

At our Mid-Year Conference in Salt Lake City our past International President of

Kiwanis Dave Curry was in attendance. He spoke to us about the Javet 7 heart. A

study had been done with those who had received one. One of the common things

mentioned by those who had the heart was that they didn’t feel anything. Not

physically touching things feeling but feelings. That when a loved one came into the

room or a place of remembrance there was no feeling of love or peace, just the swoosh

of the value. So the question may be asked, ―What is it about the heart that makes us

have feelings?‖

Some recent research shows that when we experience heart-felt emotions like love,

care, appreciation and compassion, the heart produces a very different rhythm. In this

case it is a smooth pattern that looks like gently rolling hills. Harmonious heart

rhythms, which reflect positive emotions, are considered to be indicators of

cardiovascular efficiency and nervous system balance. This lets the brain know that

the heart feels good and often creates a gentle warm feeling in the area of the heart.

There are countless stories in the Bible, in literature and in songs that reference fear,

love, courage, anger, joy, sorrow, hatred that are ascribed to the heart. As the central

organ in the body, forming a focus for its vital action, it has come to stand for the

center of its moral, spiritual, intellectual life.

Some say spirituality and religion is basically the same thing. Others believe that they

are quite different. In any case, spirituality and religion can touch your being in a way

that little else can. In Proverbs it says a merry heart doeth good like a medicine and

Ecclesiastes say let thy heart cheer thee.

I think it is the heart that makes Kiwanians do the things we do. Many people today

have been conditioned not to give of themselves without asking, ―What’s in it for

me?‖ indeed, people have an obligation to provide physical needs for themselves and

their families, and this requires them to barter and trade, either with physical goods or

with time and labor. But this makes the need to provide regular selfless service all the

more important. Opportunities abound in our communities; there is a great need for

playground equipment, books, reading to children, supporting our youth leadership

programs, safety programs and countless other projects.

Sometime we get too busy in life and opportunities by pass us when really all that is

needed is little more than an observant eye and a willing spirit. In addition to blessing

the lives of others, service blesses the lives of the one who is giving. By serving

others, people gain compassion and understanding. The benefits are enormous.

Service helps keep material goods and the things of lasting value in their proper order

and perspective. Material things will grow old, break and end up in a landfill.

Relationships, faith and love, all attributes strengthened through service, will last

forever.

KIWANIS RISK MANAGEMENT KORNER By Lori L. Bergsma, Utah – Idaho District Risk Manager

WHEN SHOULD A CLUB REQUEST A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE FROM

OTHERS?

Kiwanis Clubs need to request certificates of insurance FROM others when entering

into a contract with a vendor. This includes fundraising events involving outside

companies. This would include promoters, vendors and participants in unique events.

Certificates should include the liability coverage of not less than $1,000,000 and name

the club and Kiwanis International as additional insured. Certificates should be issued

on standard Acord form and evidence Worker’s compensation, auto, and liquor

liability coverage if appropriate.

Also, if your club does not have a Safety Coordinator, now is the time to appoint one!

For questions or more information about Kiwanis International insurance program,

please feel free to call Hylant Group Toll Free at 1-800-876-0361 or email me at

[email protected].

It is a pleasure to be of service to Kiwanis and I hope all your fundraisers are a safe

and prosperous success.

Sincerely,

Lori L. Bergsma,

Utah-Idaho District Risk Manager

Alabama, $4.06 as of April 30th.

Utah-Idaho has already qualified for Five matching scholarships for both Circle K and

Key Clubs to be awarded next year.

If the remaining clubs send in their usual contributions, we will easily reach our

district goal of $6 per member in contributions and qualify for six scholarships again

next year.

With a couple large contributions that have been sent in this year, who knows but what

we might reach the $7 per member level and set a goal for other districts to match.

Will Lt. Governors copy the attached donation list to share with their respective clubs

and thank those clubs that have donated to this annual campaign.

Thanks for all your help!

INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATE BIOS, PROPOSED BYLAWS

AMENDMENTS READY FOR YOUR REVIEW

Biographical sketches of candidates for International office and the proposed Bylaws

amendments up for consideration by the House of Delegates at this summer’s Kiwanis

International convention (http://www.kiwanisone.org/memberresources/convention/

convention09/index.html) are now available online. You’ll find them by going to the

convention home page and selecting either ―House of Delegates: Voting and business‖

If you’re a delegate, you’ll want to study these materials closely so you can make

informed decisions. If you’re not a delegate, you’ll still want to review them so you

can let the delegates representing your Kiwanis club where you stand on the issues

and who you favor in the election.

Delegates will elect a new international president, president-elect and vice president at

this summer’s gathering. Additionally, delegates from Region I (the United States)

KIWANISONE NAVIGATION LINKS CHANGING SOON

Resources for members on www.KiwanisOne.org are growing and being enhanced all

the time. Club Leader Tools and the Online Education–CLE are great examples of

much-needed content and features. With a steady pace of introducing new features,

navigation can sometimes become overgrown and cluttered, especially on the

dashboard (home page).

Current navigation on the KiwanisOne dashboard needs a little housecleaning so that

we can add a few new, necessary items. Luckily, we have some duplication between

the main navigation on left (blue links) and the orange buttons on right that we can

pare down and not lose dashboard presence on anything.

The Web team will be implementing the following changes within about 30 days, and

we wanted to give members some notice and reasons for the changes.

In left (blue bar) navigation:

Convention 2009 link goes away in lieu of the Nashville button on right

Grow Your Club will change to Grow & Build Clubs so New Club Building

resources can be added

Online Learning–CLE link moves to the right as a new orange button

Partnerships link goes away and becomes a button on right side, too

International Foundation moves under About Kiwanis and becomes a permanent

bottom banner in rotation with the convention promotion.

This knocks our nav down from 13 links to 9 – much better!

For right-side orange buttons:

Convention and Login buttons will stay as they are

Learn, Grown and Lead buttons go away–however, Learn becomes the CLE

button, Grow Your Club is already on the left side, as is Club Leader Tools.

We’ll create a new button: CLE–Online education

We’ll also add a new button for Partnerships

That makes 4 buttons instead of 6–less clutter, plus magazine and Kiwanis-

family Store link moves up higher!

Thanks again to continued member feedback that helps us make improvement

decisions for online resources and information. Comments and suggestions to

[email protected].

HELP POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS FIND YOUR CLUB

Once your club Web site is live on the Internet, please submit the URL (Web site

address) via e-mail ([email protected]) to our Web team for inclusion in the

Kiwanis International club locator (Find a Club). Include your club key number, club

name, city/state and contact info in case we have a question.

Upon review and approval, your club will appear in searches for Kiwanis clubs in your

area via the club locator on the public site. Your listing includes basic club meeting

information, your Club Web site link (if provided), an option for users to map your

club location in relation to the surrounding community and nearby clubs, and a link to

the membership interest form. This club locator is great for prospective members

wanting to find a Kiwanis club near their home or work, for analyzing club density in

certain areas for growth strategy, and for travel and interclub planning.

KIWANIS – A NAME ASSOCIATED

WITH DOWN SYNDROME FOUNDATION

Malaysian National News Agency

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsfeatures.php?id=410180

PETALING JAYA, May 11 (Bernama) – In Malaysia, the mention of ―Kiwanis‖

would make people think of the center for Down Syndrome children.

Actually, the name Kiwanis originated from an American Indian expression, which

means, ―we trade‖ or ―we share our talents.‖

Members of the Kiwanis Club are volunteers.

Among others, Kiwanis club members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry,

mentor the disadvantaged and care for the sick.

They also build playgrounds and raise funds for research on children. The Kiwanis

Club of Kuala Lumpur (KCKL), in 1976, became the first Kiwanis club to be

established in Malaysia.

It was established by the then returning Ambassador to the United States, Tan Sri

Khir Johari who was affectionately called ―Bapa Kiwanis.‖

KIWANIS / DOWN SYNDROME FOUNDATION (Continued)

KDSF National Center Petaling Jaya

According to the administration director of the Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation

(KDSF) National Center in Petaling Jaya, Angie Heng, the establishment originated as

the KDSF Petaling Jaya Center on Sept 11, 1989 via the effort of the KCKL.

Located at No 59 on Jalan Gasing, the center started operations with two teachers and

15 children. It grew steadily over the years and in 1999, a next-door bungalow was

rented as the enrollment grew to 100 children and many more on the waiting list.

By the year 2003, the center had an enrollment of 160 children, 12 teachers and two

administrative staff. In 2004, the center moved to bigger premises, built totally on

public funding, at Sungai Kayu Ara in Petaling Jaya.

The new premises, located at Lot 1490, Jalan Jenjarum, off Jalan SS23/1, Taman Sea,

47400, Petaling Jaya , can accommodate classes for up to 300 Down Syndrome

children.

Its patron is Toh Puan Ena Ling, wife of former MCA president Tun Dr Ling Liong

Sik.

More centers set up across Malaysia

Heng said in 1991, a second Kiwanis Down Syndrome center was set up in Johor

Baharu (by the Kiwanis Club of Johor Baharu) with association to the KDSF.

More centers followed. The Klang center was set up in 1994, Seremban two years,

Melaka (1999) and Kota Kinabalu (2002) by the respective Kiwanis clubs.

Meeting the needs of children with Down Syndrome

According to Heng, the KDSF felt that the focus should be on children below six years

old to maintain the quality of education.

―Children with disabilities should be exposed to the public as integration would allow

them to develop their potential better,‖ she said.

It is also to reduce prejudice and ignorance of the public towards people with

disabilities.

KDSF acknowledges the important role played by the families of Down Syndrome

children, said Heng.

―Their participation is always encouraged. Each of the KDSF centers has established

its respective Parent Support Group,‖ she said.

She said, ―Parents are encouraged to continue teaching their children at home. Each

centre has an information and Resource Library which provides the necessary

materials that the parents can use at home,‖ she said.

Early intervention program

Heng said KDSF does not cater for all facets of Down Syndrome.

―KDSF only specializes on Early Intervention Program for children with Down

Syndrome up to six years old,‖ she said.

She said it is recognized that these children of age above six years old should continue

their education as provided by the Special Education classes provided by the

Education Ministry.

More information on the KDSF National Centre is available at www.kdsf.org.my.

Meridian real estate agent is a community doer Published in the Idaho Statesman, May 2, 2009

Shawn Raecke / Idaho Statesman Mark Bennett, of Meridian, stands with students

from Meridian Medical Arts Charter High

School's Key Club on Thursday. Bennett is an

advisor for the student's Key Club and president

of the Meridian Kiwanis Club. Students pictured

around Bennett from left to right are Keri

McCarthy, 15, Madeline Pifher, 16, Jenna Atkin,

15, Landon Pifher, 14, Tael'r Eason, 17 and

Sarah Wyble, 15. "He is really amazing," said

Madeline Pifher about Bennett, "he helps us

learn how we can become better leaders in our

community."

This year's Small Business Person of The

Year Awards will have a new twist.

An award that usually goes to an

entrepreneur who has built a new business

from the ground up will instead go to an area

real estate agent who devotes his off hours to

helping his community.

Mark Bennett, an agent with Silver Hawk

Realty, divides his free time among his duties

as president of the local Kiwanis Club,

advising the Meridian Medical Arts Charter

High School Key Club on its fundraising and

organizing efforts, co-chairing the Meridian

Promise program, serving as vice president of

the Meridian

Leadership Class, and co-chairing the

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.

Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865)

A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986)

Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

Arthur Rubinstein (1886 - 1982)

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Bill Cosby (1937 - )

Nothing changes your opinion of a friend so surely as success - yours or his.

Franklin P. Jones, Saturday Evening Post, November 29, 1953
