“THE WAY AHEAD: HAPPY NEW YEAR” By Revis Turner, District Governor 2014-15

I would like to personally thank all Utah-Idaho

Kiwanians in their dedicated service to Kiwanis and the

youth in each of our communities.

I am proud to be a Kiwanian. I am encouraged by the many clubs who are at work by their

efforts to…

provide food for food banks and others in need;

raise funds for shelters and disadvantaged youth programs;

promote community service among our Service Leadership to youth and children’s

programs;

provide service to meet the needs in the community;

make it possible for children and families to experience the joy of the holiday season.

Thus, it is very appropriate that

I wish you a Happy New Year!

We are now beginning our

100th year celebration for 2015.

Many events are planned and the first of those will take place to honor the founding of the

very first Kiwanis Club in Detroit, MI.

U-I Kiwanians will have three separate ways to celebrate the Centennial Birthday.

First, the International 100th Anniversary Celebration to be hosted by the first Kiwanis Club

in Detroit will have several U-I Kiwanis representatives present. Those of us who attend

will be more than willing to share our experiences with you.

Second, a trip to the 100th International Convention in Indianapolis will be a highlight of

the summer and our goal is to have a large delegation from our district. The trip planning

committee led by Past President, Jim Spinelli, is working on a plan to get us there as a

group. Look for details in the by the Mid-Year Training events. (A survey has been

emailed to all district members. Deadline for submission is February 28, 2015.)

Third, the Utah-Idaho District Annual Convention held August 7-9 in Ogden, UT will not

only focus on the International Celebration, but we will observe the 96th

Year of Kiwanis in

the Intermountain states.

Even though that’s enough to create a party, there’s more. As Governor, I am working with

Division Lt. Governor’s to set dates to recognize persons who will be awarded the U-I

District “Century of Service” Awards. We want to celebrate the accomplishments of those

who have served the children in our communities over the years.

And finally, the International Service Project, The Eliminate Project, will conclude its

pledging drive at the convention in Indianapolis in June with the culmination of raising and

pledging $110 million USD. The U-I Eliminate Coordinators, Cheryl Juntunen and Barbara

Mullins, will lead our District Annual Convention in August with the final push to raise our

district goal of $800,000 USD. A Centennial Quilt will be raffled for the Eliminate Project

at the District Annual Convention in August.

CENTENNIAL QUILT RAFFLE

FOR THE ELIMINATE PROJECT

The Utah-Idaho Centennial Quilt for the 2015 Governor’s

project was designed and crafted by Mrs. Rita Blevins of Afton,

TN. The quilt is a “Memory” pattern and is made for a King

size bed. The center of the quilt features the 2014-15 Class of

Governor’s Theme and Logo “The Way Ahead” as well as the

U-I Theme of “A Century of Service”. Each Kiwanis Club in

the U-I District is embroideried into a white square with its

name and date of charter.

Proceeds from the quilt will be donated to the Eliminate Project.

Last year’s quilt raised $2500 for the Eliminate Project. Will we

top it this year? Tickets are now available by contacting

Governor Revis Turner ([email protected]). Donations

for tickets are as follows:

$5 per 1 ticket. $10 for 5 tickets

$15 for 10 tickets $20 for 20 tickets

Drawing will be held at the District Annual Convention

Saturday evening Celebration, August 8, 2015.

MORE MEMBERS – MORE SERVICE By Jim Spinelli, Past Governor

I am not a mathematician or a rocket

scientist, but I am positive that if our

District gains more members that are

strategically located in areas that do not

have Kiwanis involvement; we can

increase the quality of life for our kids.

Gov. Revis Turner & I would like to ask each Lt. Gov., Club

President, and member to identify at least one location in their

geographical area, where a new Kiwanis Club would benefit the

community by serving the children. This isn’t a major

undertaking, but requires an honest, committed attempt to

identify areas where we can serve the children. It can be as

simple as devoting 1 club meeting to brainstorm this idea. Then

follow the lead to the community and talk to the Mayor, City

Council, Dept. of Health and Welfare Services, School District,

etc. to see if their community needs are being met by their city

or other service clubs. If their children’s needs are being met –

go on to the next opportunity. If not, you just struck Kiwanis

Gold!

Please contact Revis Turner, Jim Spinelli (Formula Growth

Chair), Wes Sine (Gov. Elect & Formula Co-Chair), and/or Jim

Vaughan (Vice Gov.) for assistance.

UTAH – IDAHO KEY LEADER

Key Leader changes lives! Key Leader is a program for today’s

emerging leaders. This life-changing event focuses on service

leadership as the first, most meaningful leadership development

experience. A Key Leader will learn the most important lesson

of leadership— leadership comes from helping others succeed.

Participation in the program begins with attending a Key Leader

conference, which is a weekend retreat for teens age 14–18.

Workshops, lectures and team-building activities take place over

the course of the weekend, providing opportunities to grow in

confidence, make new friends and learn skills that can be taken

back to the school community. Positive interaction with other Key Leader “graduates” can offer continuing reinforcement,

encouragement and growth of leadership skills.

Since 2005, there have been more than 16,000 graduates throughout the United States, Canada, Grand Cayman, Brazil, El

Salvador, Singapore and Malaysia.

GRATITUDE

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not

to utter words, but to live by them. (John F. Kennedy))

At this time of year, I like to reflect about the wonderful things people have done for

others over the Christmas holiday and throughout the past year.

Volunteers are among my greatest heroes. When someone gives, at least two people

benefit – the person receiving and the person giving. Thanks to all of you Kiwanians.

Thank you for volunteering unselfishly of your personal time and funds to help others.

Your efforts make a difference in our communities.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

(Seneca) One of the hardest things I learned came from my wise wife. It was the

simple act of just saying ‘thank you,’ when someone acknowledged something I had

done. Like you, I try to give service because it helps others, not to be recognized. In

fact, it has sometimes been embarrassing when someone acknowledged my efforts. In

our culture, many of us have been taught to essentially reply “ah, shucks, it was

nothing,” when our efforts may have required considerable effort. But, as my wife

said, someone who acknowledges you doesn’t want you to make a big thing about

their words or have you underplay your efforts. Just reply to them ‘thank you.’ They

appreciate this quiet acknowledgement of their thanks.

This is a good time for us to thank those in our clubs who have helped our community

efforts. Someone needs to plan, organize and follow through on club and community

projects. Let’s tell them how much we appreciate their efforts to help make our

communities better places for all of us. Our gratitude and expressed appreciation will

also help keep them willing to be active with projects in the future. Now is also a

perfect time to tell the officers, board members and committee members of our clubs

thank you for the extra time they spend. And don’t forget to thank the officers of our

District and Divisions.

He enjoys much who is thankful for little; a grateful mind is both a great and a happy

mind. (Thomas Secker) Studies have shown that happiness is not dependent on

income, social position or age. As Melody Beattie said, Gratitude unlocks the fullness

of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a

home, a stranger into a friend.

So, let’s be grateful for what we have. Let’s continue to give to our communities.

And Let’s tell those around us that we are grateful for them and what they do.

Thanks, Kiwanians, for all you do for others!

KIWANIS IS SERVICE Wes Sine, 2014 - 2015 Utah Idaho Kiwanis District Governor-Elect

Kiwanis is service. Service to the community by challenging our youth to be involved through service in CKI Clubs, Key

Clubs, Builders Clubs, and K Kids. Service to the community through Key Leader programs. Service to the World by

eradicating MNT.

Did you know that Kiwanis has an anti-bullying program. There is a Kiwanis program to meet every need of our youth.

There is a program to serve as a compass for our youth to follow. The youth of today, are the best the world has yet produced.

They have an internal desire to better the World, and thus justify their reason for existence. A reason to be part of the World.

A goal to dedicate themselves to, that will benefit mankind. That reason can be found through service through the youth

programs of Kiwanis.

To produce those programs, we need more members in Kiwanis. We need to go to our friends and acquaintances and

ask them to help us save the children of the World, One Child at a Time. Everyone wants to help the youth. We just have to

let them know how Kiwanis can be the means and that they are needed to help in this great work.

The Bonneville Club in Salt Lake City started a Key Club at East High three years ago. They demonstrated to the

administration of East High that they wanted to help the youth by giving away two scholarships, one to a boy and one to a girl.

In conjunction with those scholarships, Bonneville wanted to form a Key Club to do service projects for the School. Last year

five East High Key Clubbers received two One Thousand Dollar Scholarships and three Two Hundred Fifty Dollar

Scholarships.

This year Bonneville has agreed to send two Key Clubbers to Key Leaders as a reward for outstanding service in their

Key Club and have obtained a donation for the purchase of golf shirts for the members with the Key Club logo and Letter

Sweaters with the Key Club logo for the Officers.. It is anticipated that the students will wear their golf shirts and Letter

Sweaters once each week on a predetermined day.

As I have mentioned in our last news letter, Kiwanis has the programs to help save the children of our communities

from drugs and gangs by giving them an alternative of service to the school. Local Kiwanis Clubs simply have to start these

programs.

Satellite Kiwanis Clubs. Bonneville Kiwanis started its first Satellite Kiwanis Club. They have had two meetings.

Presently, the Saelitte Club has scheduled speakers for the next two meetings. It is a slow process but by using the satellite

program, the club meetings can be started immediately. Each of the new members receive a weekly newsletter, a

computerized telephone call reminding them of their next meeting, and a schedule of the forthcoming speakers.

There seems to be a need for active clubs dedicated to helping the youth. The other service clubs are providing funds

but not the organized youth programs. They are going through the motions without the actual production which they desire.

Thus a reason for Kiwanis to obtain new members to help with the youth programs. Members joining Service Clubs want to

be actively involved in service.

A new horizon lies ahead, be a part of it and save the children of the World one child at a time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

FROM KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT JOHN BUTTON

|

Dear Kiwanians,

Happy 100th Anniversary. You are part of Kiwanis’

century-long legacy of serving the children of the world.

For me, it is humbling to be part of an organization that is

helping countless people around the world. I trust you

have the same feeling.

As we celebrate our 100th Anniversary in 2015, I invite

you to be part of Kiwanis’ anniversary gift to the world–a

world free of maternal and neonatal tetanus. When I went

to Guinea in 2012 to review the progress of our

investment in The Eliminate Project, a group of mothers gave me faith that

elimination of MNT is possible. These 12 women personally knew children and

mothers who died from this painful, yet easily preventable disease. These

women were dedicated to making sure every woman of childbearing age in their

village was vaccinated. Many people around Guinea shared that same

commitment.

I hope you will make the same commitment. For just US$1.80, you can save

lives. Will you pledge to Save a Baby a Day? Will you prevent the death of at

least one of the 134 newborns who die every day from this dreadful disease? It’s

easy, convenient and most importantly, it saves lives. Visit

www.TheEliminateProject.org/Baby for details.

In addition, I hope you will join me in celebrating our many achievements

during the past century. All members of the Kiwanis family are invited to attend

events as part of the Centennial Tour. You can find more information about all

the stops on the 100th Anniversary page of our website, www.kiwanis.org/100.

I also encourage you to hold a celebration with your club. Share the gift of

Kiwanis by inviting the community and the media to a club event. Take photos

and share them through social media. I would like to see them too. Post them on

the Kiwanis Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, and tag them with

#Kiwanis100.

I have seen many changes to Kiwanis since I first joined the Kiwanis Club of

Ridgetown, Ontario, Canada, in 1978. Our organization has changed as society

has changed. It is clear that Kiwanis is still relevant and needed today.

Yours in Kiwanis service,

John R. Button, M.D.

2014-15 President

FLY HIGH IN OGDEN AT THE

2015 UTAH-IDAHO DISTRICT CONVENTION

This summer the Utah-Idaho District Kiwanis Convention will be held August 7-9,

2015 in Ogden, Utah. Details are being completed to provide a very rewarding

convention, in addition to offering a very exciting opportunity for a Utah vacation for

Kiwanis members and their families.

The event will be held at the newly remodeled Courtyard by Marriott, in

downtown Ogden. Most venues are within walking distance, including the recently

restored Ogden Temple. Within a 5 block radius of the hotel, event goers will find

Union Station, with 3 museums: trains, antique cars, and the Browning Arms

museum. In addition, a ball park is a block away, where you may watch the local

farm team players work their way up to the majors. Historic 25th street in Ogden is

always hosting events on the weekends during the summer, with restaurants, antique

shops, and the building plaques giving the history of each structure. A short walk to

The Junction offers quaint shops, video game rooms, and a wind tunnel to perfect

those sky diving skills, before your real skydiving experience at the Ogden Airport,

:12 minutes away. Before your jump, enjoy the Hill A.F.B. Museum, viewing aircraft

and memorabilia in one of the finest air museums in the country. Other entertainment

is available, with movie theaters, water parks, and of course the very famous Lagoon

Amusement Park. This convention is shaping up to be one major event, where most

of time one can leave the “old family hauler” in the parking lot, and just enjoy the

excitement in beautiful downtown Ogden, Utah! Come early, and stay late is the way

to go, and enjoy connecting with your fellow Kiwanians!

Details are still in the works, with some very special treats planned that will

reinforce your pride in being a Kiwanian. Kiwanis International is turning 100 years

old this year, so come and celebrate this summer in Ogden, Utah!

In Kiwanis service, Captain Jim Vaughan

possible the increase of righteousness,

justice, patriotism and goodwill.

days before the convention begins. More amendment proposals may be added as they

are approved.

election of club delegates and alternates. Complete and submit it to Kiwanis

International (providing copies as indicated on the form).

30-minute "round robin" workshops focused on the four areas of the I-Plan,

Kiwanis’ strategic plan:

1. Membership and engagement

2. Meaningful service

3. Image

4. Financial viability

A TED-style, Idea Exchange morning where members hear real success stories and

learn success secrets from other members.

THE UTAH - IDAHO KIWANIS DISTRICT

BOARD OF TRUSTEES WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

100TH KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear Utah-Idaho Kiwanis Members:

The Utah-Idaho District Board of Trustees is interested in gathering information about

the upcoming 100th Kiwanis International Convention in Indianapolis, June 24-27,

2015.

The information will be shared only with the Utah-Idaho Board of Trustees in order to

make a decision about a possible transportation choice. Answering the questions will

only take a few minutes of your time and will help your district officers plan the

proposed trip.

We are anticipating a larger number of Kiwanians attending and want to be prepared

for it. The proposal is for Utah-Idaho Kiwanians to travel by bus (coach) beginning in

Caldwell/Boise, travel through Twin Falls, to Utah pick up Kiwanians along the way

and take either I-80 or I-70 to Indianapolis. The cost for the bus (coach) if full would

be less than $300/ person. If we stay overnight instead of driving straight through this

would add to the cost.

Information/Results will be communicated to the District and Club leaderships in

early March and will be included in the April/May 2015 U &I Kiwanian issue.

Questionnaire is active until 11:59 pm MST on Saturday, February 28, 2015

Utah - Idaho Kiwanis Governor 2014-15

STRENGTHEN YOUR GRANT APPLICATION

It’s time to start working on your next grant application to the Kiwanis International Foundation. So many Kiwanis clubs,

districts and district foundations have funded special projects with foundation support—why not yours? Applications are due

by April 15, 2015. To put your best foot forward:

1. Be as specific as possible where expenses are concerned. Don’t just estimate costs.

2. Double-check the math in your budget. Proofreading isn’t just for words.

3. Follow instructions. Read the grant application (http://www.kiwanis.org/Custom/KiwanisDownload/Download/ff7c8f54-

8b41-600c-92b9-ff0000034f91) and guidelines thoroughly (http://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/foundation/general-

DISTRICT RISK MANAGER CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

Fellow Kiwanians:

Lori Bergsma has been a wonderful and valuable asset for Utah-Idaho risk

management having served over 12 years in this position. She has been always

available to answer our calls, provide correct information, and represent our district at

the International level. We thank her with a note of gratitude of a job well done.

As Governor, it is my responsibility to appoint someone to complete the 2014-15

term. I agreed to accept Lori’s recommendation of replacement, a fellow Kiwanian

and charter member of the Hailey/Wood River Club, and knowledgeable insurance

person, Past-Governor, Jim Spinelli. He has agreed to assume the responsibilities, will

attend the KI Risk Management Conference in March and be available to receive your

calls and concerns about risk management.”

December 31, 2014

Dear Gov.Turner, Secretary Kelly, District Board, KI and Kiwanis friends,

It has been my pleasure to be the District Risk Manager for many years for the Utah-

Idaho District and I have met many great Kiwanis members and made many friends

along the way.

During the last board meeting scheduled in Utah, our son asked if I would be able

watch our twin granddaughters who were born in March and I knew then I needed to

make a choice. We now have five small grandchildren and along with being an

insurance agent for over 30 years and running a successful insurance agency

specializing in municipalities and other volunteer work, I no longer have the time to

devote to the position.

It is with sadness that I will resign as the Utah – Idaho District Risk Manager but I am

happy to say that I am not going away anywhere and will help transition the new

appointed Risk Manager. I would also like to recommend Jim Spinelli to the open

position for the District Risk Manager if willing. Jim has a genuine passion for

Kiwanis and has an extensive insurance background and would be able to keep

involved in the momentum that he has successfully begun for our district since the

position is longstanding.

There have also been some exciting new improvements made with the insurance

program with the addition of the Directors and Officers liability coverage being added

and the district risk managers training will be in March 2015 in Indianapolis, so the

timing is good for our new Risk Manager.

Sincerely,

Lori L. Bergsma

UTAH – IDAHO DISTRICT YOUTH PROTECTION STATISTICS

FOR THE YEAR 2013-2014 John Brown, District Youth Protection Manager

Criminal History background checks through Kiwanis International’s approved vendor

Safe Hiring Solutions are valid for two years. Background checks through other

approved vendors are valid for up to ten years (as determined by each individual

Kiwanis club).

Kiwanis International events that involve youth -- Key Club International Convention

and CKI International Convention -- require a Criminal History Background check

through Safe Hiring Solutions even if you have a background check through some

other agency.

Youth Protection Guideline training is REQUIRED every year for each club in the

district. The statistics for Kiwanis Clubs in our district that completed Youth

Protection Guideline Training last year (October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014) are

as follows:

Pocatello

Idaho Falls

Ontario

Clearfield

Brigham City

Jerome

Capital City, Boise

Rupert

Sugar House, Salt Lake City

Tremonton

Boise, Gem State

Tooele

Bannock, Pocatello

Meridian

Hailey Idaho & Wood River Valley

Westlake

There are 50 clubs in the Utah-Idaho District, 16 of which have complied with Youth

Protection Guideline training for the 2013-2014 Kiwanis year.

Each club should have a Youth Protection Manager who can oversee and conduct

training for their club. You can take the Youth Protection Guideline Training via the

internet from Kiwanisone.org.

A simple solution would be to schedule a club meeting, and the club members could

watch the online Kiwanis Youth Protection Training video.

I will be visiting district Kiwanis clubs, as requested, to assist or conduct Youth

Protection Guideline Training.

Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns

GET TIPS TO MAKE YOUR KIWANIS ONE DAY VIDEO

Kiwanis One Day, the day when all clubs participate in a community service project,

will be April 11, 2015. To help your club shoot, upload and share your service project,

we’re preparing a how-to video that will be ready in early March. Unsure of how to

share on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter? We’ll show you how and provide

instructions on the best way to record certain shots, make a quick edit and save your

masterpiece for later viewing.

After Kiwanis One Day, we’ll ask every club to share their videos on Facebook, with

the hashtag #kiwanis1day, and we’ll assemble a montage to play at convention. Start

your planning now at www.kiwanis.org/kiwanisone/serve/kiwanis-one-day.

UNICEF, KIWANIS WITNESS PROGRESS IN LAO PDR

Lao People’s Democratic Republic, a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, is a

success story for The Eliminate Project. A Kiwanis International delegation recently

returned from Lao PDR, where they met with local volunteers and medical experts,

visited schools and observed health services, including UNICEF-led vaccination

campaigns.

In December 2013, the World Health Organization announced that Lao PDR had

successfully eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus. Lao PDR has come a long way

since 2001, when it had one of the world's highest neonatal tetanus rates. Today, the

socioeconomic conditions and the coverage of immunizations are improving. Check

out photos and read about the trip. You can help eliminate the disease in the 24

countries where it still threatens. Give today at www.TheEliminateProject.org.

The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a

friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your

mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men,

charity. - Francis Maitland Balfour

CELEBRATE CENTENNIAL WITH GIFT TO THE WORLD

Honor our past while extending your impact into the future. With a gift of US$1,500

to Kiwanis International, you will receive the Centennial Award. Your generosity will

help the Kiwanis family provide an anniversary gift to the world by eliminating

maternal and neonatal tetanus.

Celebrate the spirit of Kiwanis service with a Centennial Award gift to benefit The

Eliminate Project. Give now at www.TheEliminateProject.org/CentennialAward.

CENTURY OF SERVICE AWARD

Archie Stradley honored with Utah-Idaho “Century

of Service Award” presented at the Division 9

Governor’s Meeting.

The “Century of Service” Award was presented

during the December 18th meeting of the Caldwell,

Idaho Kiwanis Club to Archie Stradley. Presenting

him the award was Lt. Governor of Division 9, Stan

Boster and U-I Governor, Revis Turner.

Archie was born in Caldwell, Idaho and graduated

from Caldwell High School. A veteran of the US

Army, Archie returned home for employment. But

the highlight of his life is his service to others,

especially children in the community. He has been a member of the Caldwell Kiwanis

Club since 1954 and has earned 60 years perfect attendance this December. In 1974

he received the Kiwanian of the Year Award from the Caldwell club.

In 1978 he was recognized as “A Distinguished Citizen” by the Idaho Statesman. He

served on the Salvation Army Board of Directors and was presented with the

“American Institute of Public Service, Jefferson Award” by Idaho Governor, Cecil

Andrus in 1991. He is currently chair of the Annual Caldwell Veterans Day Honoring

Committee. In addition, he has been a member of the Caldwell Elks Club, Elk of the

year in 1968, and serving as treasurer for 48 years. He continues to oversee the loaning

of Elks owned equipment for individuals needing Home Care nearly averaging 200

calls per month.

Archie serves as the official Santa Claus through the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce

and the Caldwell Fire Department. For 39 years he has had children sitting on his lap

and now some of those children are adults. One comment that makes it worthwhile is

when child sits on his lap and asks, “Santa please bring my Daddy back home!”

In his spare time, he repairs clocks for many people in the Caldwell area. Archie and

his late wife have two sons, one who lives in Caldwell and one in San Antonio.

ORDER NEW CENTENNIAL BAG, JOURNAL

centennial items from the Kiwanis Store. The refillable vintage style journal features a

built-in closure and debossed Kiwanis 100-year logo, and the compu-messenger bag

includes a padded laptop sleeve, a cushioned tablet pocket and classic plaid lining.

Order today at www.kiwanis.org/store.

SHARE YOUR STORY

Do you have a story related to the 100th anniversary you would like to share? Send an

email to [email protected] with as many details as possible. Your story might be

used in a variety of Kiwanis publications. Thank you for sharing!

ONLINE REPORTING

If you’re a club secretary tasked with completing club reports, begin reporting online

and gain back hours of your time previously spent with traditional administrative

paperwork. Online reporting in KiwanisOne provides you with a one-stop, single login

destination for various reports:

Monthly Club Report

Due by the 10th of every month.

Example: The new online monthly report for October is due November 10.

This report fulfills your requirements to Kiwanis International, provides data to

improve our programs, and alleviates the need for a more extensive year-end report.

This report now includes tracking for signature club projects, such as Kiwanis One

Day, Read Around the World, and YCPO. By completing all 12 months of this report,

data is automatically rolled into the Annual Club Report for you, including

Distinguished Club reporting.

To access the new monthly report, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the new system at https://reporting.kiwanisone.org.

2. Click the Secretary Dashboard icon in the navigation on the left.

3. Click on Monthly Reports in the menu at the top of the page.

4. Click the pencil icon in the Part 1 column for the October monthly report.

5. Follow the monthly report instructions

(http://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/Online-resources/monthly- reportin

Annual Club Report

Report available November 1

Due November 30

Clubs that have been reporting monthly will have an opportunity to review a

compilation of the submitted data around November 1 and may modify any of the

2013-14 monthly reports as needed. Changes are easy: go back to your individual

Monthly Club Report and make edits. Revisions flow into the Annual Club Report.

Clubs that have not filed monthly reports online all 12 months are asked to complete

an Annual Club Report found on the Secretary Dashboard. Remember—the Annual

Club Report is no longer available in paper/postal mail version.

Member Management (for club secretaries only)

Adds, edits, deletes

Clubs are now able to add, delete and edit members online. These adds, deletes and

edits are automatically made in the Kiwanis International database. This will cut down

on the amount of time spent maintaining club rosters. Clubs can generate and print out

invoices to send into the International office. Also, district administration will receive

updates of when members are added and deleted and will not need to receive paper

copies for new members.

Election Report

Due June 1

Also serves as the Mid-Year Change in Officer Report

Often referred to as Club Election report, clubs have until June 1 to submit officers for

the next fiscal year. Although mid-year change in officers can be done anytime. Club

elections are reported directly on the club secretary dashboard in KiwanisOne

reporting area. You can log in as a secretary and complete your report without any

paperwork.

Club meeting & website changes

Clubs can add or edit their meeting place, which is then displayed in the club locator

(Find A Club) so that prospective members and guests can find you when searching

for a club to join near their home or work. The secretary dashboard in the KiwanisOne

reporting area (via club secretary login) features an option for clubs to update their

meeting information and public website and have it feed real-time data into the club

locator. Be sure your club's meeting location is an actual mailing address for the club

locator mapping software to correctly identify your club.

THE NEXT CENTURY

Not too many things last a century, let alone thrive. But that's just what Kiwanis

has done. Launched in 1915 by a handful of civic-minded community businessmen, it

has since grown to become a global service organization whose impact is felt

throughout the world.

There will be much to celebrate when Kiwanis marks its first century of service

in 2015. That's 100 years of fellowship. Of service. And of working to bring real,

lasting change to children and communities.

It's a major accomplishment and a great source of pride. The achievements of

our first century show the world the relevance of our organization, inspire current

members and attract new ones.

But this is also a great time to think about what comes next. About what can be

achieved during Kiwanis' second century. And what we can do to ensure we stand

ready to meet our vision.

Here are some things you could do now to set the stage for future successes:

Strengthen your club. For Kiwanis' impact to last another 100 years, our clubs

need to be healthy and thriving. Take time to examine your club’s strengths and

weaknesses. Make sure your club is an exciting, inviting place to be—for current and

potential members alike.

Extend personal invitations. Make an anniversary membership pledge. Then

take action. Tell others what you love about your club through membership drives and

personal invitations. Spread the word to the community around you.

Extend Kiwanis’ impact to a community near you. Which nearby community

can benefit from Kiwanis? Be the driving force to organize the leaders of that

community under a Kiwanis club and extend the legacy into the next century.

Invest in the future. Think about what you and your Service Leadership

Programs can do together to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis in your

community. Work together and strengthen ties to your local Key Club, Circle K

International or Aktion clubs, and plant the seed of Kiwanis.

Go back to your roots. Attract community interest through community

involvement. From service to fundraising, make sure what you do is rooted in the

needs around you.

GEM STATE KIWANIS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR DONORS TO

HELP SUPPORT THEIR ANNUAL 4TH OF JULY BREAKFAST

The Gem State Kiwanis club is looking for donors to help support the 52nd

Annual 4th of July Pancake breakfast. This event is held every 4th of July at Julia

Davis Park in Boise. This year’s celebration is being expanded to include the antique

Ford auto club as well as the regular performance by the Boise Community Band. It is

guaranteed to have you whistling your favorite John Phillip Sousa song while you

walk through the park with a full belly.

Gem State’s goal is to partner with businesses such as Tate’s Rentals and Moxie

Java to offset all of the food and facilities expenses so 100% of the money raised by

the event will go to youth services, scholarships and youth related activities.

The $500 or $1,000 donations will include a block of breakfast tickets as well as

advertising banners displayed at the event on behalf of the donor. Typical attendance

in the past has been well over 1,000 people. The event has been covered live for

several years by Channel 7 in Boise. If you are interested, or know of someone who

might be interested, in supporting this well established community event, please

contact Denny Colgan at 208-602-2754 or at [email protected].

FILER CLUB HONERS 2 MEMBERS

WITH THE REED CULP MEDAL

FILER- Kiwanis Club of Filer members

Shirley Gailey and Gilbert DeKlotz were

honored Tuesday for many years of service to

the club and their community. They both

received the Reed C. Culp Service Medal. The

medal was developed in memory of Reed C.

Culp. A Salt Lake City businessman and

member of the Salt Lake Kiwanis Club, Culp

championed Kiwanis’ dedication to

improving the lives of children and assisting

with meeting the needs of local communities.

He served as Kiwanis International President

in 1956.

“Receiving the Reed Culp was very

unexpected,” DeKotz said. “I don’t exactly remember how many years I’ve been a

member of Kiwanis, but it’s a club with an important mission that gives me something

to do, helping communities and children locally and worldwide.”

The 600,000 members that make up Kiwanis International Clubs share a team focus of

making the needs of “Young Children Priority One.” Filer Kiwanis Club donated

$2,000, in the names of these two Reed C. Culp Medal recipients, toward Kiwanis

International campaign efforts to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus around the

world. This $110 million project, undertaken in partnership with UNICEF, continues

reaching toward the goal of vaccinating 100 million mothers and protecting their

unborn children. Neonatal tetanus kills nearly 60,000 infants and takes the lives of a

significant number of mothers every year.

“I joined Filer Kiwanis Club in 1993 and it’s been a rewarding experience,” Gailey

said Kiwanis Club of Filer meets every Tuesday, at 12 noon for lunch, at the Filer

United Methodist Church on the corner of 5th and Union Street. Come join us.

KIWANIS OF NORTH OGDEN YEAR IN REVIEW

The club’s 68th year was a busy and productive one for its 30 members. Several long

standing projects and a few new ones were completed in 2014. Club President Dave

Powers and incoming President Dave Lundstrom led the way in guiding the club to

help the communities of North Ogden, Pleasant View, Harrisville and surrounding

area.

Hope of America awards were presented to sixth graders in eight schools, Roger

Shupe coordinated the work and lined up members and schools. In addition to a

certificate students also received gift certificates from Walmart that totaled $1350.

Achievement Awards were presented to two graduating students at Fremont and

Weber High Schools by Kiwanis Members. The award recognizes a student who had

struggled with grades and citizenship early on but who turned things around to do

well their final year. Two $500 cash awards were given.

Dave Powers heard about students at a local elementary who needed a section of

sidewalk to safely get to school and the club worked with the PTA to solve the

problem with the club giving $1500 to help fund a new section of sidewalk.

Books this year were given to six elementary schools in the form of audio books.

Kiwanis donated $3000 and it was matched by the Weber Schools Foundation. Over

the past ten years the club has given well over 25000 books to these schools. STEM, a

project to promote technology subjects in elementary schools was given a boost by

the club with a gift of $500 to Green Acres elementary.

The annual Easter Egg Hunt in North Ogden Park was again successful with about

400 children and parents participating. Every child got decorated real eggs and candy

eggs and many children were dressed in Easter costumes; the club purchased about

$550 in candy. Our club’s annual Cherry Days Pancake Breakfast was again

successful with a little help from our friends who made it possible to serve over 1200

hungry parade goers. The project is a major fundraiser for the club and is a challenge

in logistics and manpower but the challenge has been met for over 30 years.

In addition, the club provided monetary and moral support for a wide range of

community projects including –sponsoring two students to Debate Competition,

assisting a student with travel expenses for Fencing competition, co-sponsored an

American Spirit Essay Contest, and co-sponsored a Constitution Day Sunrise

Ceremony as well as a Constitution Quiz Contest.

Christmas Families – four families were helped with boxes of food and checks for

$200 each. The club had a successful fundraising year thanks to members, friends and

supporters who contributed over $9700. The club makes it a practice to use up funds

in its Projects Account to benefit the community. North Ogden Kiwanis also donated

$2000 to the Project Eliminate Fund in 2014 and achieved Blue Level Status in

Today’s Club program.

The Small and Mighty North Ogden Kiwanis Club keeps rolling on, hopefully for

another 68 years.
