As you complete the 2013-14 Kiwanis administrative year, and look forward to our Centennial Celebration in 2014-15, take a moment to reflect on all that YOU have done to make this world a better place.

At year-end, please do not just “cross off” a Super Hero of Service from your club! Take the time to connect again with that member. Remind him/her of the impact of Kiwanis, and the opportunities of service, fellowship and leadership provided by being a member.

Thank you for growing—thank you for serving—thank you for leading!

Thank you for being Super Heroes of Service!

District convention caps a memorable yearA MESSAGE FROM THE 2013-2014 FiRST GENTLEMAN

John BrummerFirst Gentleman, 2013-14California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Kiwanis [email protected]

his has been a wonderful year of memories—serving as your

“First Gentleman.”Here are a few random memories

from the District Convention in San Diego in August:

No. 10—The sandbox. Local Kiwanis members built a sandbox frame, and together with Circle K members, installed it in the courtyard entrance to the Town & Country Convention Center. Thank you, District Secretary Lori Butler, for this idea! i did not observe any SLP members building sand castles, perhaps because they were so busy serving elsewhere. instead, i saw smiles on the faces of developmentally disabled children as they played in the sandbox. These children were attending a one-week event at the hotel—their joy reminded me again of why “i Love Kiwanis.”

No. 9—The exhibit area. Many of you stopped by the “Super Hero” booth to affix a sticky note to the wall to tell us about your Super Hero. Lots of questions, answers, and the constant buzz of conversations and fellowship filled the exhibit hall. Special thanks to all the exhibitors!

No. 8—The brand-new “Coffee Lounge.” Wish we could afford to have coffee, tea, sodas, water and cookies all day long. However, the expense is too great. What we did have is a generous sponsor who paid for the coffee, and lots of great fellowship—thanks for stopping by to meet and greet. Hopefully, we can take some of your valuable suggestions and continue to improve this new feature of DCON. Maybe you know of another sponsor—so we can add more options?

No. 7—The election. Thank you to Pete Edwards and Cherice Gilliam for stepping up as candidates for Governor-Elect. Thank you to the delegates for taking time to vote. Congratulations to Cherice Gilliam (2014-15 Governor-Elect), Craig Wallace (2014-15 Treasurer), Alan Guire (2014-15 Governor) and Rae Whitby-Brummer (2014-15 immediate Past Governor).

No. 6—The California-Nevada-Hawaii themed entertainment. “Smile,” said the adult teacher to the children from the local ballet folklorico troupe as they danced for us during Thursday’s opening session. (it did not appear they needed the reminder – they were always smiling!!) Thanks to “Frank Sinatra”—for offering a touch of old-fashioned Vegas crooning on Friday. Thanks also to Kris Ross for her hula demonstration, which gave us a short and entertaining stretch break on Saturday between the Third General Session, and the start of the House of Delegates.

No. 5—TraKs and other seminars. i picked up a few tips for my home club—and i hope you did too. Special thanks to all the moderators and presenters for sharing their knowledge.

No. 4—Volunteers and staff! They were everywhere—helping with registration, providing information, assisting delegates, manning the district sales area, and handling many other behind-the-scenes tasks. Hope you stopped to say “thank you” at least once….

No. 3—The service. From SLP-provided service projects, to the Blood Bank, to the Eliminate walk and yoga—we had so many choices for ways to serve during DCON. i am still humming some of the songs presented by the San Diego Chorus of Sweet Adelines during the

interclub luncheon—they took us from the 1920s to now, while photos from the 100-year legacy of Kiwanis service showed on the backdrop. Did you notice the photos of division and region service when each 2013-14 lieutenant governor and trustee was introduced during the Saturday General Session? This truly was an awesome array of wonderful projects—thank you!

No. 2—Food and fun. Still smiling about the District Dinner “most pets” award—thank you, beekeeper, you know who you are. Still laughing about the “Let’s Make a Deal” show on Saturday evening - Rae and i are so thankful for your gifts to each of us of a Zellar, District Tablet of Honor and Kiwanis Family House Bright Award. it means so much to us that these gifts came from the “Super Heroes of Service,” and that those donations will continue to serve children. Still smiling about random “Super Hero” appearances—on stage and off stage. The 2014-15 counselor to our district, Jim Rochford (Ki international Trustee), even dressed up as Batman for the 2013-14 team dinner on Thursday night.

No. 1—You! Conversations, smiles, laughter, song, service, children, indelible moments in time. Thank you for making this a very special year in my life. Thank you for being Super Heroes. Thank you for being Kiwanians!

nce we accept being a Kiwanian we then accept the responsibility to “improve the world one child, and one community at a time.” As Kiwanis leaders we have a responsibility to help our fellow Kiwanians achieve this goal.

As we draw near to the completion of our first century of service we have reached many milestones, including women in Kiwanis, the largest student-led service organizations in the world, a successful worldwide IDD campaign, and we are well on our way to Eliminating Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus.

This could only be accomplished by a network of focused, dedicated volunteers like yourselves.

Our goals are not only to preserve the legacy and traditions of Kiwanis service, but to keep pace with social changes so that we can attract new members who can apply our rich traditions to the needs of the 21st century families and communities.

Through our efforts with the “Formula for the Future” we can grow and strengthen our family by showing our communities that we love it, share it and live it.

Please make plans to celebrate our first 100 years of service and share

On the wingsof service

A MESSAGE FROM THE 2014-2015 GOVERNOR

our story with your communities.Our communities, and more

importantly our children, need us like never before. One of the greatest aspects of this whole thing is, together, we can and will continue to touch hearts and transform lives.

You make a difference. You are the difference!

Melissa and I are excited and thankful for this tremendous opportunity to serve beside you in 2014-2015.

Please remember to seize each day and every opportunity to build a better future for our children as we lead the way ahead on the Wings of Service.

The club held its first “Mini Golf Super Challenge,” a fundraising miniature golf tournament at Boomers in Fountain Valley. Adult tickets were $50 and student tickets were $20, which paid for golf and a pizza dinner afterward. The club also raised money through various sponsorship levels. Member Pam Dingwell chaired the event.

DIVISION 30DIVISIONWIDE: Division 30 will help former Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda celebrate his 87th birthday by attending a dinner and lively discussion with Lasorda and sportswriter T.J. Simers on Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Embassy Suites in Brea. A 30-minute autograph session is also planned for teens and children in attendance.

Kiwanis helps

DIVISION 4 HUNTINGTON BEACH:The Kiwanis Club of Huntington Beach has

been chosen as the charity partner for the 2015 Surf City Marathon, which is set for Feb. 1, 2015. Last year, 18,000 runners from 34 countries competed in the event. As a partner, the Kiwanis club will receive 20 percent of the registration fee of runners who signs up for the race as a “Kiwanis Running Club” member. Additionally, the club will raise money for the Eliminate Project by promoting among its members and friends

Thank you to all who attended our Cal-Nev-Ha District Convention in San Diego this August.

Once again the Town and Country Resort Hotel proved to be the most affordable convention center location for our meeting.

For example, rates at the much smaller neighboring Handlery Hotel proved to be a match or higher than the Town and Country room rates. The Town and Country Resort, incidentally, has new investment partners who plan to remodel the entire property by the end of 2017. Plans include a waterpark, parking garage, new food venues and more.

For those who attended the event planning portion of the TraK workshop, you learned that by staying at the hotel and supporting our functions with your food and beverage purchases, you help us earn complimentary convention meeting space, which would otherwise have been added to the cost of your registration. This space rents for more than $10,000 a day or more.

The $150 registration fee for a three-day convention is still a bargain when you consider the pricing

of similar organizations holding their meetings in the Southern California and San Diego areas. Still, we know that every penny counts, and we are doing our best to keep pricing as affordable as possible in the future.

More importantly, I want to thank all who participated in our House of Delegates. It is one of the most important things you can do each year to share your voice in Kiwanis at the district level.

Your voice is also important. Please fill out the post DCON survey on our website at cnhkiwanis.org. District leadership pays close attention to

what you like, didn’t like or want more of. This is the best way to have district conventions meet the needs of the majority of our members. Thank you in advance for your positive and constructive feedback.

Thank you to Mark McDonald and the entire team of volunteers from San Diego. Your tireless service throughout the weekend was appreciated by all.

Please make plans to attend district convention next year, August 13-15, 2015, in Sacramento as we celebrate our 100th anniversary in one of our district’s three state capitals.

A glance at what our Service Leadership Program clubs are doing around the Cal-Nev-Ha District:

Aktion Club holds fashion show

fundraiserTHE BURBANK AKTION

CLUB presented a World War II-themed fashion show Aug. 22 to raise funds for Operation Gratitude, a volunteer organization that sends care packages to overseas troops, reports the Burbank Leader newspaper.

The show, titled, “Operation Red, White and Blue,” was staged by the Aktion club, its sponsor, the BURBANK KIWANIS FOR FUN CLUB. It attracted about 100 people, including Burbank City Council member Emily Gabel-Luddy and her husband, Bill Luddy.

The fashion show raised funds to help Operation Gratitude continue to send care packages filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation to U.S. service

members deployed around the world as well to their family members, veterans, first responders, wounded warriors and their care givers, the newspaper reported.

Kelly’s ClosetWith guidance from the

Recruitment tips for K-Kids clubs

GROW SERVE LEAD

Like Kiwanis clubs, K-Kids clubs face the challenge of recruiting new members on an ongoing basis.

Here are some tips from Kiwanis international to guide K-Kids clubs to a successful recruiting effort:

1. Provide K-Kids brochures to students when they register for the school year. Distribute brochures to faculty and ask that they give information to students and direct interested students to you.

2. Display K-Kids posters, available from Kiwanis

international, around the school announcing the first meeting date and time.

3. Make lunchroom announcements. Provide interested students with an invitation flier/enrollment form announcing the organizational meeting date and time.

4. Collect K-Kids membership recommendations from faculty via the school principal. Students recommended for membership should be interested in service and of good character and leadership potential. There is no limit

to the number that may be recommended; a good rule of thumb is 10 students from each specified grade level.

5. Send a letter home to parents of students who were recommended for membership informing the parents of the recommendation. The letter should be signed by the school principal and encourage parents and children to attend an organizational meeting.

6. The purpose of the organizational meeting is to gather interested parents and students to further explain K-Kids and to signup interested

students. it is suggested that the club have a minimum of 15 members. Encourage students to recruit friends.

7. Send notice home and conduct the first regular K-Kids meeting. Those invited to the meeting should include: a Kiwanis club advisor, Builders Club members, and the faculty advisor. At this meeting, club members should elect officers and set regular meeting dates and times. (Send Permission to Participate forms home with all interested students to obtain parental consent.)

Community groups comingtogether for our children!!!!

Let’s celebrate!

Kiwanis International turns 100 in 2015. Are you ready to celebrate? Need a little guidance?

Then check out this easy game plan:

Form a task force. Determine which and how many members your club needs to plan its 100th anniversary events.

Set growth, service and/or fundraising goals for your club. Maybe it’s 100 members by 2015? The list is endless. Make sure it has an impact on your community and Kiwanis as a whole!

Brainstorm celebration ideas. Involve members. Decide when your club will celebrate.

As part of the celebration, Kiwanis International has a plan to build playgrounds around the world.

In the Cal-Nev-Ha District, for instance, one such playground has been selected to be built in Fullerton.

The project will be built through the combined efforts of the CNH District, numerous clubs, the city of Fullerton, Up With People, Habitat for Humanity, the Woman’s Club of Fullerton and other community groups.

The targeted date for this playground to be built is March 2015, so there is need for donations and sponsorships right now.

Become a part of history by making a tax-deductible gift to this

once-in-a lifetime commemorative playground that will stand for all time. Donations in the suggested amounts listed to the right or in any amount are being accepted.

If you need support in planning the celebration, order the free celebration party kit. The kit is full of fun items you can use for your party.

Consult this helpful list for additional ideas.

Contact the press. Make sure the local media knows about your

100th anniversary achievements. Not sure how to start? Check out our earned media

resources. Inform Kiwanis International as well, by emailing [email protected].

Participate in events throughout the year, including the Jan. 23–24 celebration in Detroit and the 100th Annual Kiwanis International Convention in Indianapolis, June 25–28, 2015.

The 2015 convention will be one of the high points of our celebration.

Looking for ways to celebrate Kiwanis’ 100th anniversary locally?

Here are a few ideas:

■ Create a giant birthday cake

■ Organize a parade■ Fireworks■ Float in a parade■ 100th birthday party

at club level on Jan. 21, or within a few days of the anniversary date

■ Invite members of other service organizations and representatives of groups you help to an event honoring the local partnership

After three years in the talking, the Kiwanis international Foundation kicked off its fundraising in style during a January 1940 Detroit, Michigan, blizzard at Kiwanis’ 25th anniversary celebration. Past Ontario-Quebec-Maritime District Governor Walter Zeller (far left in cake photo) took the lead, donating 25 Canadian silver dollars, which decorated the gala’s birthday cake. The coins were auctioned to raise a nest egg for the new foundation. Rather than being served to guests, the five-tiered cake was cut up and delivered to Detroit-area orphanages.COuRTESY: KiWANiS iNTERNATiONAL

How your club can celebrate our 100th!

■ Highlight oldest club members and their memories

■ 100-year-old community member honored as honorary Kiwanian

■ Paint fire hydrants with 100th anniversary design (secure authorities’ authorization)

■ Create and publish a commemorative 100th Anniversary edition book for your club. It could be a history of your own club, or a club directory with your members’ photos, or a coffee-table style book with beautiful photography from your club’s projects.

A quick response to inquiries pays off

Over the past several months I have received from the District Office inquiries from people interested in Kiwanis.

I have, on each occasion, made a personal phone call to those inquiring to thank them for allowing me to share Kiwanis with them.

I have had positive outcomes with those whom I have spoken to, and it also gave me an opportunity to pair them up with a club that fit their needs.

One fun inquiry was from a person I know. He is the son of my dentist and a dentist himself.

Eric Wong was so surprised to find someone he knew who was part of Kiwanis and he has since joined our club. Eric was even our program several weeks ago, speaking about dentistry and educating us also.

Dr. Jameela Medina has also visited our club and, even before joining, participated in one of our service projects—feeding the families at our local Ronald MacDonald House.

Both Emily Castaneda and Pierre Galvez were directed to a club that fit their needs, the Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino, and they have since joined.

I contacted the president of the Kiwanis Club of Yucaipa Valley and he has extended an invitation to Carlos Aguilar, who advised me he needed an early morning club.

I believe the success in getting members who have already made “inquiries” through our website is by early and personal contact.

There is nothing like a real person to answer their responses.

I look forward to more inquiries and the opportunity to help more individuals join our Kiwanis Family. It is an honor to serve Division 36 and to be a part of the greatest service organization in the world.

—Diane deBourguignon Lt. Governor, Division 36

What’s your formula?There are math formulas that solve complex problems. There are

science formulas that cure disease. There are formulas that fuel cars and feed people. And there’s a formula for improving lives. It’s a formula for Kiwanis.

The Formula is a five-year initiative that focuses on Kiwanis members, investing in the Kiwanis experience and ultimately strengthening membership. It’s an opportunity for Kiwanians like you to shape the future of their clubs and the service that impacts their communities.

The Formula is based on a simple premise: When you love something, you want to share it. When something really matters, you want other people to love it with you. You want it to be more than something you “do”—you want it to be part of your life.

So, what is The Formula? It’s this:1. Take something you love.2. Share it with others.3. Make it a part of your life.The Formula is created from the love we feel for our clubs. It’s

energized by the pride that inspires us to show others how much we love Kiwanis. And it’s powered by our eagerness to share our experience with others. Ultimately, that’s The Formula: the motivation to make Kiwanis a part of peoples’ lives. And to keep it strong in our own.

This is your opportunity. To shape the future of your club. To do more of what you love. More fellowship. More service. More for your community. More Kiwanis.

This is the formula: Love it. Share it. Live it.

Tools and tipsfor inviting members

If your club is preparing to recruit a new member, make sure that new member has all the information he or she needs before joining your club.

Why? Too often, the focus is on increasing member-ship numbers rather than bringing in a solid candidate for membership. Your club membership chair should sit down with any potential new member before he or she signs the application and gives the club a check.

To prevent a new member from leaving your club after a month or two, it is imperative that you spell out exactly what is expected of the potential new member. Make sure you’re up front about dues, attendance, service project participation and more.

Kiwanis International has made available some great literature resources that will help you properly recruit a new member and help the new member understand how Kiwanis functions.

Here’s a sampling:“Changing Tomorrows Today.” This full-color

brochure is written for one-on-one recruitment and includes a perforated new member Information form. You can receive 25 copies free from the online store.

New Member Information Form. This form is used by the club for recording detailed information about new members. You can download this form at www.kiwani-sone.org.

Just the Facts Sheet. All the Kiwanis facts you need, easily referenced on one simple sheet. Perfect for recruit-ing new members. You can download this form at www.kiwanisone.org.

One-Minute Speech. This is a listing of five tips for preparing and delivering your own personal elevator speech about Kiwanis to a potential new member. You can download this form at www.kiwanisone.org.

These great tools are available at www.kiwanisone.org.

A close-up look at the new Kiwanis D&O insurance programBy Robert KolstadRisk Management Chairman

What does the new Directors and Officers Liability (better known as D&O) insurance cover?

Cal-Nev-Ha- District Risk Management chairman Robert Kolstad tells us it covers:

•Employment practices liability

•Sexual harassment•Unfair employment

practices•Wrongful termination

(including volunteers)•Discrimination•Violation of state/

provincial and federal laws (antitrust, Internal Revenue Code, EEOC)

•Failure to enforce bylaws

• Full prior acts• Failure to act• Mismanagement of

funds• Conflict of interest• Bad faith•Directors, officers,

employees, members, committee chairs and volunteers

•The ‘Entity,’ club or district

Here is some other good information you should know about the new policy:

The program covers all districts and clubs in North America. Coverage is effective Nov. 1, 2014, the beginning of the policy year. It’s billed in conjunction with the

general liability fees.There is a group limit

of $10,000,000 with a $50,000 deductible, paid by Kiwanis International.

A total of 954 clubs in U.S. and Canada had the optional D&O, while 16 districts in the U.S. and

Canada had the optional program. A survey of volunteer leaders was overwhelmingly positive about the D&O Liability Program.

Lastly, remind your club board that your

D&O insurance can be paid out of your choice of administrative or service accounts.

For more information about issues affecting your club, go to www.CNHKiwanis.org

WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A BABY’S LIFE?With The Eliminate Project, you can. Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one

baby every nine minutes. But three doses of a 60-cent vaccine can protect babies—and

their mothers too. Kiwanis and UNICEF have joined forces to bring this vaccine to 40

countries, eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth by 2015. What can you do now?

Grow your club, because you’ll need strength to take on the challenges of the campaign.

Learn about MNT, and advocate for the cause. Over the next five years, the work you do

to eliminate MNT will change the world. Find resources at www.TheEliminateProject.org.

The KIWANIS button is a badge of business nobility. It is the emblem of the square deal in the commercial world and the outward emblem of an inward determination to be among those select few in every community who realize that the good of the

Marketing Kiwanis:Make your club ‘sellable’By Lynn SeedenCal-Nev-Ha Magazine

To market your club, you need:

■ a sellable product. is your club experience worth ‘buying’?

■ a credible name. is “Kiwanis” trustworthy in town?

■ market research. Who are your customers? (potential and current

members)What do your potential members and current mem-

bers want? (answer: they want a sense of purpose, the ability to have an impact through meaningful projects, a sense of community [friends], and respect/kudos.)

■ to offer value to your members. What do members get for their money and time? Do

you offer them a sense of purpose, meaningful service opportunities, friendships and respect?

Do you pay for their interclub lunches, convention fees and banquet tickets? Do you offer co-parenting opportunities (projects and events where they can bring their children)?

■ to be known in town for helping children, mentor-ing teens.

■ to make it easy to belong. Can locals find you on the Web? Do you offer on-line payment options for dues and donations? Do you offer child care during meetings? ...You should!

The Kiwanis Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship (Kiwanis Doctor) is an innovative program that provides for the training of a doctor in Pediatric Emergency Medicine over a two-year period.

The Kiwanis Doctor then in turn offers instruction in pediatric emergency medicine to other doctors, first responders and medical professionals in remote areas throughout the three-state region of our Kiwanis

District.The goal of the Kiwanis

Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship is simple: Save and improve the lives of children by training doctors in the latest in pediatric treatment. Each Kiwanis Doctor treats more than 3,500 children each year, and, to date, the program has trained more than 1,000 first responders throughout the Cal-Nev-Ha District.

The Kiwanis Doctor program is unique because

it addresses the need to train medical personnel throughout the district on current techniques and advances in pediatric emergency medicine.

Babies and children have physical, emotional and physiological needs that are vastly different from an adult’s. Unfortunately, most medical personnel are trained to treat an adult and receive very little medical training on how to treat a child. They mostly see and treat adult patients and have


A closer look at the ‘Kiwanis Doctor’ programvery little opportunities to treat a child in an emergency.

The Kiwanis Doctor provides the missing link by traveling throughout our District teaching medical personnel how to treat a pediatric patient.

Since 2004, the Kiwanis Doctors have collaborated with Kiwanis to share their knowledge gained during their training in pediatric emergency medicine with paramedics, nurses and other doctors who care for

critically ill and injured children within the rural areas of the Cal-Nev-Ha District.

These Kiwanis-sponsored training seminars have been conducted as far north as Eureka, CA, and as far south as El Centro, CA, with many areas in between.

Dr. Andrea Thorp continues to lead the program and host advanced trainings in the most remote areas of our district, closing the gap on the number of children who die each year from serious injury or illness.

If you or your club would like to make a donation to the Kiwanis Doctor program, call Jennifer Chaves at the CNH District at (877) 597-1770, ext. 126. She’ll make it happen.

Pedestrian safety for childrenYour club can help keep your community’s children safe from schooltime injuries

Pedestrian injury is the second leading cause ofunintentional injury-related death for children 5 to 14. Other than in the street, driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks are where young children ages 0 to 2 suffer the highest number of injuries as pedestrians.

What you can do to protect your family:

• Always model safe walking behavior to teach your child

pedestrian rules.

• Practice safe walking with your child when crossing a street.

• Always cross at the corner and in the crosswalk.

• Use traffic signals.

• Hold your child’s hand while crossing the street and while in

the parking lot.

• Teach your child to look left, right, and left again before

crossing and to make eye contact with drivers.

• Teach your child to walk, not run, across the street.

• Children under 10 cannot correctly judge a car’s speed and

movement. Never allow children under 10 to cross streets

alone.

• Walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk

facing traffic as far to the left as possible.

• Buy clothing and accessories with reflective materials for

your family to wear at dawn, dusk, or during foggy weather.

END-OF-YEAR GiViNGDon’t forget to orderyour Dunlap Fellowship

give


When making plans for your end of the year club or division banquet, remember to pay tribute to deserving individuals by awarding the Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation’s Dunlap Fellowship.

The Foundation has announced the availability of matching Dunlap funds benefitting the district’s Pediatric Trauma Program. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of Circle K, KiWiN’S and Key Club, anyone can order a Dunlap or upgrade a Dunlap to the next level for only $500.

The remaining $500 will be “matched” by funds raised from the district’s Service Leadership Program members. These matching funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted or by Sept. 30, 2014, whichever comes first.

Or, join both the Dunlap Fellowship and the Rose Float Fellowship at the reduced rate of $1,250.

The matching offers end Sept. 30, 2014.

The Foundation established the William A. Dunlap Fellowship in 1985 as a means to honor William A. Dunlap, past governor of the Cal-Nev-Ha District and the first president of the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation.

individuals establish membership through a $1,000 contribution.

New William A. Dunlap members receive a plaque, medallion, lapel pin and personalized banner patch. The medallion is worn at high-visibility Kiwanis functions. Diamond-level status is attained by Dunlap Fellows who make additional $1,000 contributions.

Diamond recipients receive a diamond lapel pin, and a tab that indicates what level of giving

has been achieved. The tab attaches to the lapel pin. A new tab is given for each additional $1,000 contribution.

Clubs, divisions, or individuals may purchase a Dunlap to present to an individual. To order a Dunlap Fellowship, go to www.cnhfoundation.org/how-to-help/william-a-dunlap-fellowship

THANK YOU TO THESE $100 SPONSORS OF “THE OBJECTS OF KIWANIS” for 2014-15

The Objects of

KiwanisTo give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.

To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards.

To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.

To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.

To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism and good will.

—Adopted unanimously at the1924 Kiwanis International Convention

in Denver, Colo. after Kiwanis President Edmund Arras gave an empassioned speech explaining the

proposed Objects.

During the same convention, the delegates voted to change the organization’s name to simply “Kiwanis international.”
