KIWANIS CLUB OF LA JOLLA

This year, our KiwanisClub of La Jolla is celebrat-ing its 85th year. We are agroup of about 80 La Jollanscoming together once aweek on Fridays for lunch atthe La Jolla PresbyterianChurch to form lastingfriendships, render altruisticservice, hear great guestspeakers and programs, andcontribute to charitable or-ganizations that need ourhelp.

Kiwanis is a global organi-zation of volunteers dedicat-ed to changing the world,one child and one commu-nity at a time. Kiwanis vol-unteers worldwide dedicatemore than 6 million hours

and $100 million annuallyin projects that serve chil-dren and strengthen com-munities. The Kiwanis Inter-national Organization com-prises nearly 600,000 adultsand youth members whoserve children and commu-nities in 90 countries andgeographic areas. In a typi-cal year, Kiwanis clubsworldwide organize morethan 150,000 service proj-ects.

Our club sponsored theLa Jolla Half Marathon onApril 25, 2010, with over8,000 runners in the Halfand 1,500 in the 5K run. InMay 2010, we sponsoredthe Junior Olympics at the

La Jolla High School track.All nine of our local ele-mentary schools, both pub-lic and private, participat-ed, with over 800 little kidsrunning, jumping andthrowing softballs formedals and ribbons.

In June 2010, we spon-sored the Hope of Americain which outstandingfourth- and fifth-grade stu-dents from the three La Jollapublic elementary schoolswere selected by their teach-ers, and honored at ourluncheon for the students,their parents and principals.Also in June, we honoredthe outstanding Marinenoncommissioned officers

stationed at the MiramarMarine Corps Air Station.

On July 31, 2010, we willhave our annual PancakeBreakfast, a party for the lo-cal community at the La Jol-la Recreation Center. Thenin September, we are one ofthe sponsors of the La Jolla

Rough Water Swim. Swim-mers — over 2,400 ofthem — come from all overthe world to participate inthis event. Finally, we are asponsor of the summer se-ries Concerts by the Sea atthe Cove.

As you can see, we are a

very active bunch. If youhave a desire to serve yourcommunity, and can spendabout 1 1/2 hours each weekhaving a good lunch withfriends and enjoying a goodprogram, join us. We willwelcome you with openarms.

Many years ago, I came toSan Diego as a young Navypilot and then later back toLa Jolla to en-ter the real es-tate industryand becomeactive in thecommunity,especially theKiwanis Clubof La Jolla. Asa young person growing up asmall community in westTexas, I was instructed instrong Christian values (bymy mother) and to help oth-ers less fortunate in the com-munity (by my stepfather,who was a great communityleader).

Although, I have alwaysbeen active in the communi-ty of La Jolla, I have onlybeen a Kiwanian for fiveyears. I looked at all of the LaJolla service clubs, and whilethey are all wonderful and doa lot for La Jolla, the KiwanisClub of La Jolla allowed methe greatest opportunity togive the most back to ourcommunity. The mission

statement of Kiwanis says itall: “Kiwanis is a global or-ganization of members ofevery age who are dedicatedto changing the world, onechild and one community ata time.” With that statement,Kiwanis was for me, especial-ly if my work and the moneythat we could raise wouldstay for the most part in LaJolla.

Through the Kiwanis La Jol-la Half Marathon, the KiwanisPancake Breakfast, the KiwanisJunior Olympics, the RoughWater Swim, Concerts by theSea and Meals on Wheels, Ki-wanians are very active in ourcommunity. Our volunteerwork and fundraising in theseevents allows La Jolla Kiwani-ans to raise over $200,000 an-nually and give it back to thecommunity with a large ma-jority staying in La Jolla byproviding scholarships, chil-dren’s programs, recreationalimprovements and many oth-er community programs.

These are the reasons that Iam both a La Jollan and a Ki-wanian.

Message from the president

BY TRENTON BONNERPast president, Kiwanis Club of La Jolla

Why I am a Kiwanian

Although our Kiwanis Club is local, wereach out to the world through our Interna-tional Committee. In fiscal year 2009-10, wehave supported such worthwhile projects as:

• Holy Innocent’s Children’s Hospital to as-sist in the building of a Children’s Hospital inUganda, Africa, the first in the region!

• La Casa de Pobres in Tijuana, Mexico, tobuy 1,500 bags of food and blankets for chil-dren who are extremely impoverished and liv-ing in the dumps and hills of Tijuana.

• In concert with the Tijuana Rotary, wehave supported an orphanage in Tijuana thathouses orphaned youths 10 years andyounger.

• Central Asia Institute in Afghanistan tosupport its wonderful efforts to build schoolsand educate girls.

• Sisters of Mercy in Rosarito, Mexico, tosupport its effort in extending Christmas giftsto 2,500 poor and sometimes homeless chil-dren in the surrounding hills.

• Military Outreach of the La Jolla Commu-nity Church, which supports families whohave loved ones serving in Iraq andAfghanistan.

• El Refugio in Tijuana, a senior citizen facil-ity that houses the poorest of the poor.

Compassion has no boundaries. That’s whywe are so very proud to be Kiwanians.

Greg Mortenson, author of ‘Three Cups of Tea’ and co-founder ofthe Central Asia Institute, reads to Gultori schoolchildren in Pak-istan. The institute, one of the projects supported by the La JollaKiwanis International Committee, focuses on rural education andliteracy, particularly for girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan. COURTESY

Richard “Moon” Mullen got theidea for a Junior Olympics fromobserving a similar, family-orient-ed athletic celebration while onleave with the Navy more than 30years ago in Japan. With the sup-port of his fellow Kiwanis mem-bers, the first Junior Olympics be-came a reality in 1992, the yearthat Moon served as the La JollaKiwanis Club’s president. The ob-jective would be “if you try, youare a winner.”

The Kiwanis members wel-comed 140 students from the LaJolla Elementary, Bird Rock Ele-mentary and Torrey Pines Ele-mentary schools to participate in1992. Each student selected threeevents in which to compete, in-cluding the softball throw, theobstacle course, standing andrunning broad jumps, and vari-

ous track events staged by agegroup.

Traditions begun in 1992 contin-ue today. Ribbons are awarded toeach participant for every eventthey enter. Just like their adultOlympic counterparts, the topthree finishers in each competitionare presented with gold, silver andbronze medals from atop anawards stand. Key events are thefastest girl and boy competitionswith one participant from eachschool, and the fastest girls andfastest boys relay team races with ateam of four members from eachschool. Trophies are presented tothe winners’ school for each event.A SPIRIT award trophy is presentedto the school with the largest per-centage of its student body partici-pating.

The event has been held annual-

ly at the La Jolla High School Ed-wards Stadium. It is run like a highschool track and field event, andeach participant recites theOlympic oath. The event is free,and elementary students ages 5 to12 are invited to participate.

During its 19 years, the JuniorOlympics has grown from theoriginal three schools to nine pri-vate and public schools from theLa Jolla community including LaJolla Elementary, Bird Rock Ele-mentary, Torrey Pines Elementary,The Gillispie School, All HallowsAcademy, The Children’s School,San Diego French AmericanSchool, Stella Maris Academy andThe Evans School. Participationhas grown from the original 140to the 885 participants who par-ticipated in our May 16, 2010,event.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

April 2010 marked the29th year of the La Jolla HalfMarathon, praised by Run-ner’s World magazine as“One of the Top HalfMarathons in the Country”and “One of the 100 GreatRaces” based on organiza-tion, reputation, communityinvolvement, spirit, unique-ness and competition. TheLa Jolla Half Marathon is so

popular that the event sellsout several months before.

Starting at the Del MarFairgrounds/racetrack, the LaJolla Half Marathon attractsmore than 9,000 runnersand more than 10,000 spec-tators, friends and families,and 500-600 Kiwanis volun-teers. The race provides allwho participate with spectac-ular views along the Pacificcoastline as the race windsthrough the town of Del Marto the coast, then south bythe Torrey Pines Golf Courseand the campus of UCSD toLa Jolla Shores Beach beforefinishing at Scripps Park atthe Cove. The La Jolla Shores5K starts simultaneouslywith the Half Marathon andalso proceeds along the final5,000 meters — roughly thefinal 3.1 miles — of the HalfMarathon course. The twoevents have earned a reputa-tion that attracts runnersfrom throughout the UnitedStates (more than 40 states)and outside of the country.

The race was initially start-ed by the La Jolla TownCouncil and then taken overby the Kiwanis Club of LaJolla the last 28 years. It is aunique event in that it is or-ganized and run by a groupof dedicated Kiwanis volun-teers under the leadership ofdirectors Bill Uncapher andBarbara Baisch of the La Jolla

Sports Group. Through theyears, the event has addedsponsors, vendors, music, anexpo held in conjunctionwith registration, packet pick-up, a concession stand thatcaters to the needs of runnerswith high-protein food anddrink products, a CARB LoadDinner (for the runners) andonline registration. Each year,the Kiwanis Club strives toimprove this classic event byupgrading the water stationequipment, adding moresafety features and havingprofessional announcers, di-rectors and chairmen. Thecommunity of La Jolla andespecially the Village areagreatly benefit from the HalfMarathon as the runners andspectators enjoy the hotels,restaurants and shoppingthat the Village has to offer.

La Jolla Kiwanians work Sat-urday and Sunday and grate-fully enlist as volunteers theKiwanis Circle K club (UCSD),the Kiwanis Key Club (La JollaHigh School and UniversityCity High School), theBuilders Club (Muirlands Mid-dle School), the La Jolla BoyScouts, the La Jolla High foot-ball team, the La Jolla HighSchool basketball team, othergroups from La Jolla HighSchool, Bishop’s High School,the Marines of Camp Pendle-ton and many others in theLa Jolla community.
