GLASS OF MILK By Governor Bill Mullins
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through
school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a
meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a
large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you”? “You don‟t
owe me anything‟, she replied, “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He
said...”then I thank you from my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger
physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Many years‟ later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were
baffled. They finally sent her to specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called
in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled
his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his
doctor‟s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation
room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at
it, and then wrote something on the edge, and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it,
for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something
caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words... „Paid in full with one glass of
milk‟. (signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
The Kiwanis theme for this year is Share Your Story. I thought this story is fitting For the
Holiday Season as it shows how an act of kindness can change a child‟s life.
This story reminded me of a personal experience when I was working out of town and went
to a Denny‟s to get a hit to eat. A few teenagers came in and sat across from me. I watched as they
gathered what little change they had to determine what they could order. As I got up to leave I had
a desire to help them out and anonymously gave the waitress five dollars to put toward their bill.
Although this was a very small act, I left the restaurant with a good feeling knowing I helped
someone out when they were in need.
During this Season of giving, may I suggest that while you‟re out and about, he aware of
opportunities when you can help others be it large or small. Although there is selfishness and
harshness in the world, your small acts of kindness that can help change it.
May the spirit of the Holiday Season stay with you throughout the year.
A LESSON LEARNED FROM A CHILD By First Lady Barbara
As we approach the Holiday Season our lives seem to get busier with the “hustle and bustle
that comes with the Holiday. I‟d like to take the time to pause and share a sweet story with you.
A Baby‟s Hug
We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Eric in a high chair and noticed
everyone was quietly sitting and talking. Suddenly, Eric squealed with glee and said,”Hi”. He
pounded his flit baby hands on the high chair tray. His eyes were crinkled in laughter and lie
wriggled and giggled with merriment. I looked around and saw the source of his merriment. It was
a man whose pants were baggy and his toes poked out of his shoes. His shirt was dirty and his hair
was uncombed and unwashed. We were too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled. His
hands waved and flapped on loose wrists.
“Hi there, baby. Hi there, big boy. I see ya, buster,” the man said to Eric. My husband and I
exchanged looks. „What do we do?” The old geezer was creating a nuisance with my beautiful
baby. Our meal came and the man began shouting from across the room, “Do ya patty cake? Do
you peek-a-boo? Hey, look, he knows peek-a-boo”. Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was
obviously drunk.
PAGE 3
We ate in silence; all except for Eric, who was running through is repertoire for the admiring
skidrow bum who reciprocated with his comments.
We finally finished our meal and headed for the door. The old man was between me and the
door. I tried to sidestep him but Eric leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in a baby‟s
“pick-me-up” position. Before I could stop him, Eric had propelled himself into the man arms.
Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love and kinship.
Eric in an act of total trust, love, and submission laid his tiny head upon the man‟s ragged shoulder.
The man‟s eyes closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged hands full of grime, pain,
and hard labor, cradled my baby‟s bottom and stroked his back. No two beings have ever loved so
deeply for so short a time. He pried Eric from his chest, lovingly and longingly, as though he were
in pain. I received my baby and the man said, “God bless you. ma‟am, you‟ve given me my
Holiday gift.
I had just seen love shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who made
no judgment. A child saw a soul, and a mother saw a suit of clothes. I was blind, holding a child
who was not.
As Kiwanians, we have a special opportunity to serve children. While serving, we all can
learn from these sweet children, as the mother in this story did. It is my wish this Holiday Season
that we can be a little less judgmental, and more trusting, forgiving, and loving as a child can be.
May the sweet peace of this special Holiday Season dwell in your hearts.
Merry Christmas
MINUTES OF THE SECOND BOARD MEETING OF
THE UTAH-IDAHO DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL Held at the Tremonton City Offices, Tremonton, Utah
17 November 2007
Welcome by Governor Bill Mullins at 9:22am
Invocation: Janet Flinders
In attendance were: Governor Bill Mullins, Governor-Elect Pattie Hansen, Immediate Past
Governor Jim Terry, Secretary Janet Flinders and Treasurer Marv Chamberlain.
Lt. Governors in attendance:
Div 1 Dick Hodson Div 2 Mark Anderson Div 3 Norman Taylor
Div 5 Wally Studer Div 6 Dick Rush Div 7 Stan Snow
Div 8 Gene Piland Div 10 Dick Foote
Lt. Governors NOT in attendance, unexcused:
Div 4 Does not have a Lt. Governor and Div 9 Peggy Sellman
Guests: First Lady Barbara Mullins; CLE Chair & Builders Club Administrator Erland Elmer;
Key Club Administrator Peter Van Hook; ON-TO-Int‟l Convention Chair Chuck Baker; Lori
Bergsma, District Risk Manager; and Kiwanis Int‟l Foundation Chair LaMar Anderson.
Peter Van Hook, Key Club Administrator: There are 78 Key Clubs, but not all have paid
dues. If dues are not paid for one year, there is a $100 reinstatement fee + payment of the past-due
dues. If dues are not paid for 2 years, the Key Club will be suspended. The sponsoring Kiwanis
Club will then have to pay a $600 Reactivation fee. Kiwanis clubs should make sure the Key Club
dues are paid.
Peter will send lists to Lt Governors of current & past due Key Clubs
1. Lt. Governor communication – During every visit to each Kiwanis club in their division please
ask how the Key Clubs are doing. Make sure the Key Clubs have a Kiwanis Advisor and a Faculty
Advisor.
2. Peter needs to know who the Kiwanis advisors and the Faculty Advisors are for each Key Club
in your Division. Please contact your clubs and then contact Peter with this information, along with
addresses and contact numbers.
3. Encourage Kiwanis clubs to budget for service leadership programs to pay at least 1/3 of each
Key Clubbers Registration fee to District Convention in April 2008 in Boise, Idaho.
4. Peter needs a Key Club District committee (He puts in no less than 20 hours per week). He
needs one Kiwanian from Utah and one from Idaho who will serve as area representatives. He also
needs one more in Idaho (Boise area) to be the convention coordinator. Peter needs 3 people by
PAGE 4
MINUTES OF THE SECOND BOARD MEETING (CONTINUED)
January or he cannot continue in the job. He receives 20-40 e-mails a day and spends 5 hours each
day answering them.
There are some empty spots on the Key Club District Board. A Key Clubber is needed to be the
Lt. Governor for Div. 4B Pocatello, Div. 6B West Boise, and Div. 9 All of Western Idaho. Key
Club Div. 1 hasn‟t had a Lt. Gov for 4 years and hasn‟t had anyone at conventions for that long.
Each Key Club Lt. Governor should have only 4 or 5 schools.
The Key Club District Board will elect missing Lt. Governors, but they need names from the Key
Club Division.
A postcard has just gone out announcing the Key Club Dist Conv for 25-27 Apr in Boise, ID.
Last year‟s convention was run very well, but was a financial disaster. This year the cost will be
$170 including room: $130 registration fee and $40 per Key Clubber with 4 in a room. Advisors can
only be 2 people to a room.and cannot share a room with a Key Clubber.
It would be advisable to have a Service Leadership Program committee (including Derek
Schenck, Key Leader; Peter Van Hook, Key Club Admin; Norman Taylor, CKI Admin; Erland
Elmer, Builders Club Admin and whoever is in charge of K-Kids.)
Pattie would like a volunteer from each division to be an SLP Committee member to make about
30 phone calls every three months to the Key Club Advisors. A Retiree who loves the kids would
work perfectly. Peter needs volunteers who will work.
The Convention Manager would have very little to do from now until March. Will need to visit
the Doubletree Riverside in Boise, think about how the rooms will be organized, etc. 2-5 hours a
week; then 5 hours a week, then a full 3 days. Peter needs a name by Jan 1st. He will train this
person himself.
The future looks good with a Key Club being built at Snow Canyon, Hurricane, and two in Cedar
City, Utah.
He will bring part of the Key Club Board to Mid-Year Conference.
Governor Bill restated the need to support the SLP. Kids are our future. They need every chance
possible for growth.
Erland Elmer, Builders Club - Amen to what Peter said about putting together an SLP
Committee.
1. Passed out a roster of Builders Clubs. 21 clubs with 12 Active and 9 Inactive. He needs more
information from each Kiwanis Club who sponsors a Builders Club. Who is the Club Advisor? Who
is the Kiwanis Advisor. Builders‟ Club dues are $3.50 per member. He will be glad to get a new
club kit to anyone or you can go to www.buildersclub.org and ask for a new club building kit #1 and
then #2 will get you all the way thru the organizational process. OR Call 1-800-KIWANIS then
press 2.
2. K-Kids – please build these clubs. Ask Kiwanis Int‟l for a K-Kids New Club Building Kit.
3. Erland will order a bus to take Utah Key Clubbers to Boise for the convention. Everyone riding
on the bus will have to pay their fair share.
4. Education – Leadership education for kids and adults – The CLE tentative schedule was passed
out to the Lt. Governors. Dave Howard has gone inactive, so Erland has lost a trainer for Div 6 and
9.
CLE (Club Leadership Education) for incoming Club Presidents & Secretaries for 2008-2009 will
be held at Mid-Year Conference on Friday, Feb 15, 2008. The bylaws state that Clubs should have
officers elected before the middle of May each year, but it would be more efficient if the elections
were held in January, so training could take place leaving more time for the newly elected officers to
be comfortable in their upcoming positions.
Every Lt. Governor needs to have a January Division Council Meeting to elect the Lt. Governor-
elect, because their training will take place at Mid-Year Conference.
Any and all club members are welcome at the CLE training.
Janet Flinders presented the minutes of the 19 Aug 2007 Board Meeting. Marv moved and Gene
2nd
to approve the minutes. The vote was unanimous.
A list of Clubs who are inputting their monthly reports online will be e-mailed to Lt. Governors.
PAGE 5
MINUTES OF THE SECOND BOARD MEETING (CONTINUED)
The Timpanogos Kiwanis Club has dissolved. Vote to accept was unanimous. Funds were
distributed as follows: $150 to CKI Outreach, $100 to Annual Club Gift Campaign, 100.65 to Dist
Admin, $475 to Dist. Foundation. Moved by Dick Rush, 2nd
Gene. The vote was unanimous.
Financials were presented by Marv. Gene moved to accept and Wally 2nd
. Vote was
Unanimous.
Dist Foundation Report was presented for information only. Marv sent letters to all clubs
billing $150 CKI Outreach. Clubs who don‟t sponsor a CKI Club are asked to donate $150 to CKI
outreach.
An anonymous donor sent $2,500 for the Sugar House Club Shopping for Kids at Christmas (34
kids at this time). The District Foundation is doing well!! Clubs should send $5.00 per person to
Kiwanis Int‟l Foundation for the Annual Club Gift Campaign and $5.00 per person to The District
Foundation at the same time to get this commitment completed early. The earlier the better. The
rules have changed a little bit. With $5.00 per capita donated to KIF, there will be 5 Matching
Scholarships to Key Club and 5 to CKI. BUT, if $6.00 is donated per capita, there will be 6
Matching Scholarships to both and so on.
Governor Bill challenges the Clubs in the District to donate $6.00 per capita.
Lori Bergsma, Risk Manager – Every Kiwanis club MUST BE incorporated. Every club
should have a safety coordinator. Be sure to get a certificate of insurance from Kiwanis
International for every activity.
If sub-contractors are involved in your activity, they are to provide their own insurance.
The safety coordinator informs the club of the Kiwanis International General Liability
Insurance Coverage or lack thereof, as to each activity and project of the club.
Every November every secretary gets a Risk Management Packet which should be given directly
to the Safety Coordinator. It tells of the vast bulk of coverage‟s and exclusions of which a club has
a need to know.
The cover letter in the November Kiwanis Int‟l Risk Management Packet states in part, “Please be
aware, if there is a claim arising out of an activity that is not covered, any claim costs or legal fees
are the responsibility of the individual Kiwanis Club.”
Directors and Officers insurance should be in force for the District and each club should get
this insurance to cover the club officers and directors. Don‟t wait until something happens before
you protect yourself and your club from liability.
Do not offer the Kiwanis insurance to others.
Encourage each Safety Coordinator to actually look through the packet and see what it contains.
In Golf Tournaments, golfers are not covered. Be sure to get a waiver signed by each entrant
before the event. This insurance does not cover athletes. If you sponsor a football or soccer
league, etc., please be aware that you must get your own insurance for these activities.
This insurance covers: Failure to Act, Mismanagement of Funds, Conflict of Interest, Bad
Faith, Wrongful Termination, Sexual Harassment, and Failure to enforce bylaws
Guidelines for adults will be forthcoming – background checks on anyone doing anything
with kids should be made. Don‟t ever let a Kiwanian be at risk by being in a car alone with a
child. Protect yourself, Protect your club, Protect Kiwanis. All Kiwanians who read to children
must have background checks. The Police will do these checks for approx $25.00 per person.
Remember The Rule of Threes: A child and 2 adults. Etc, etc.
Each Lt. Governor should call Kiwanis International and request a HR Packet (for Risk
Management).
Governor Bill – Membership – Big push by Kiwanis Int‟l. The TAG Team just finished
building the South Salt Lake County Kiwanis Club with about 36 members. After the club is built,
we as members need to keep that club going.
Jim Terry presented Bill Mullins with a box to carry the bell and gavel in. Also, announced
that the Price Kiwanis Club returned the gavel they stole.
LaMar Anderson – Annual Club Gift Campaign donations to the Kiwanis Int‟l Foundation.
KIF is doing individual donations to any certain disaster relief, especially in California for kids
needing respirators because of the fires and smoke.
PAGE 6
MINUTES OF THE SECOND BOARD MEETING (CONTINUED)
The Kiwanis Int‟l. Board of Trustees has set a goal to achieve the $37,000,000 corpus in the
Kiwanis Int‟l. Foundation that was announced in January 2005 when Steve Siemens was Int‟l
President.
Every club should be notified of any unallocated funds to be used for Hixons or Tablets of
Honor. Janet needs to call KIF and get a list of District unallocated funds. Then let each Lt.
Governor contact the clubs in their division with the amount. These unallocated funds have
already been used for the purpose intended, but the club could order a Hixon or a Tablet of Honor
to honor someone in their club.
Operating funds for the Foundation come from the Annual Club Giving. Each club needs to
donate $6.00 per member to help the District qualify for 6 matching scholarships for each Key
Club District and CKI District.
Only three Districts qualified for 5 scholarships for Key Club & 5 for CKI last year: Utah-
Idaho, Southwest and Eastern Canada & the Caribbean.
The Utah-Idaho District has received major grants back for the Capitol Hill Kiwanis Babycare
Cupboard and the Logan Club for Spanish/English books for elementary schools.
The rules have changed: ACG used to have to have 100% of the clubs donate in order to be eligible
for 5 scholarships. Now the average is $5.00 per capita no matter who donates. Let‟s be realistic
and get $6.00 per capita for the ACG. Lt. Governors need to be sure the newer clubs get this
expense into their budgets
Jim Terry – District Foundation. District Convention gave $790.95 from the golf tournament,
$1,069 from quilt tickets and $165 from pin sales to the Utah-Idaho District Foundation. Norman
Taylor still has $1,200 to get to the Foundation coffers.
Dennis Brown, CPA in Twin Falls is in process of reviewing the books for last year.
Governor Bill – Mid-Year Conference – arrangements with the hotel have been made for a
guaranteed price for rooms until about 3 weeks before the conference. Please book early for the
lower rate. The next U&I Kiwanian will have the registration form and tentative schedule. The
date is 15-16 Feb 2008 at Red Lion in Twin Falls, ID. Need all the members of the District to
book their rooms early through Robin. It might be under Utah-Idaho Kiwanis or Kiwanis.
Chuck Baker – On-To-Int‟l Convention in Orlando, Florida. Conventions are fantastic with
meeting people, great travel, and wonderful workshops. The Utah-Idaho District hotel is the
Hilton Garden Inn at Sea World for $114.00 per night. Register early for the Kiwanis Int‟l
Convention to get better seating at Super Star Night and other meal meetings. A short cruise
before the convention from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas on board the Carnival Sensation is the
plan for the pre-tour. Cruise will handle the air flight and the cruise for about $1,000 per person.
It must be paid by April 2008. Registration for the pre-tour is separate from Convention
Registration. The cruise will be from June 19-22, 2008 and the convention will start June 25-29,
which will leave a couple of days to play in Orlando.
Governor Bill – New Club Building. He needs to build 3 new clubs. The South Salt Lake
County Club has been built in Draper, UT, but he needs two more.
Governor-elect Pattie must build 4 new clubs, but has a stretch goal of 6.
Training for the TAG Team will be in Feb at Mid-Year Conference. The goal is to have
every Lt. Governor on the TAG Team and one person from every club to be on the TAG
Team, too. Then there will be a group to help build a club in your area. The TAG Team will also
work to build up the smaller clubs in their division. Lowell Inkley is in charge of Utah new club
building.
Governor-elect Pattie said at her training KI has changed the name TAG Team to Growth
Team. Her focus is in putting together a team to build up the Utah-Idaho District. We are going
to grow Kiwanis.
She wants the Lt. Governors to put together a team in their division with the Lt. Governor as the
team captain. Invite Pattie to Division Council Meetings. She will do training there. If we aren‟t
focusing on the children, we are not meeting our Kiwanis mission. A Team Kiwanis Shirt will be
provided by Pattie to each of the District Board with a promise from those receiving these shirts
that they will do all in their power to build Kiwanis in Utah-Idaho. Assignment will be to help this
team build division growth teams. Contest: She will honor each club that brings in 5 new
members NET.
PAGE 7
MINUTES OF THE SECOND BOARD MEETING (CONTINUED)
Giving BUG awards (a pencil and certificate) to each child who brought up their grades is what
Kiwanis is all about. Each club should consider doing this program in their area, if they aren‟t
doing so already,
We have good clubs and we are a good district, but we need to be great.
Norman Taylor – CKI. CKI is growing very rapidly with building 3 new clubs at: Utah Valley
State College in Orem, UT, University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT, and CSI in Twin Falls, ID.
They are working at getting a peer that the prospective members can relate to.
Clubs that have closed, but are trying to get organized again are: Boise State & NW Nazarene,
CKI is not big, but is working at growing and doing more service.
The next area for club building is Heber Valley with the UVSC Extention.
If you see or hear of some exciting project, the CKI can help serve. Please let Norman know, so
he can put a team together to help with your Kiwanis projects.
Lt. Governor reports:
Div 7 Stan Snow – doing well, all installations are done, St George & Santa Clara are gearing up
for their big fund-raisers. Cedar City is struggling. Hurricane club died a horrible death, but there
is still room for a couple more clubs. Hasn‟t gotten them together, but will be working on it in the
future. Had a President‟s Council meeting and things are coming along. Pattie would like to come
to his council meetings.
Div 2 Mark Anderson – Interesting experience with installation of new officers. Remarkable
things are happening in Clearfield and Layton. Both sponsor a lot of Key Clubs and the other clubs
in the division have seen these clubs how working with Key Club can make a difference in lives.
The Bonneville Club is separating from Sky Line H.S. They are going to try to form a Key Club at
East H.S. #1 Goal of the year is growth and a doubling of membership
Div 3 Norman Taylor – Excited about the new club leadership. One club has 5 new members so
far this year, Ogden has 4 new members, Preston has had a couple new members, Brigham City had
a new member at their banquet. Norm is willing to help all the Division 3 clubs with their projects.
Div 5 Wally Studer – All installation banquets have been completed. Hailey is growing and has a
tremendous amount of projects happening. They want to double their club this year. They are new
enough to not be stuck in tradition. Burley, Jerome and Filer clubs are looking for new members.
Rupert has started another K-Kids Club. Possible new club building site is: Kimberly. Most of the
clubs are doing well and wished all the clubs had the enthusiasm of the Hailey club.
Div 6 Dick Rush – Two council meetings have happened. The 1st meeting had more people than
usual. Kuna brought two people. Kuna is very small and needs to grow, Daybreakers is also
struggling. Bob Aldridge and Dick are planning to talk to all the retirement communities in order
to establish some Kiwanis Clubs in those communities. They could meet in afternoon or anytime.
The will work on this beginning in January. He is very interested in the TAG Team concept. One
thought: a new club was chartered in Mountain Home that lasted a year. He thought he would go
back there and speak with the base commander to build a military club.
Capital City Kiwanis inducted three new members yesterday. An ex-Key Club member about
22yrs old will start talking to her friends from Key Club to get them into Kiwanis. The Eagle Club
is small, but will make it somehow. Need to grow these small clubs.
Div 8 Gene Piland – All clubs are stable. Growth is always an issue. Three clubs have 13
members or less. One CKI, 14 Key Clubs, Builders Clubs and K-Kids. Midvale wants to change
their name to Midvale & Ft. Union.
Goals are: growth, fund the ACG, and fund the District Foundation, Online reporting 3 of 6 right
now.
Promote a year end celebration where the small clubs can tell of all the service they accomplished
during the year. Governor Bill suggested they celebrate at their installation banquet.
Gene moved to change Midvale‟s name to Midvale & Fort Union Kiwanis Club. Janet 2nd
.
The vote was unanimous. The District Secretary signed the name change form and mailed it to
Kiwanis International.
Immediate Past Governor Jim Terry reported for Div 4 – No Lt. Governor right now. Small
clubs: Blackfoot and Shelley, but they are doing lots of fund-raising. He hopes to have a Lt.
Governor in February or at least a commitment for next year‟s Lt. Governor.

MINUTES OF THE SECOND BOARD MEETING (CONTINUED)
First Lady Barb has a District Project: Kiwanis Dolls!! The June 2007 Kiwanis magazine had an article about the
Kiwanis Dolls. Barb has patterns and instructions to pass to everyone on the board. She showed a doll that she had made
and a 6yr old saw it and was excited to color it for some needy child in a hospital. If a club makes 50 dolls, they get a patch
for their banner. Barb will need to know how many dolls were made and where they were placed.
Barb & Bills‟ grandson has had three experiences in the ER or planned surgeries and has 3 hospital dolls that were used
to show him what would be done to him.
Be sure to use a white cotton sheet to cut the pattern out. Also be sure to put a brown or black marker for the hair and a
couple of other color markers for the child to color their own doll. Buy cluster batting and be sure to add the Kiwanis label
before completely sewing it shut. This will help the Kiwanis name get out into the community. She has 300 labels with her
right now.
The Governor‟s quilt was made by the Tooele Club Secretary Karen Perry. The second quilt was donated by Janet
Flinders. Tickets are $5 each, 3 for $10, 7 for $20 and 20 for $50. All monies go to the Utah-Idaho District Foundation.
The Nampa Breakfast Club should be chartered soon.
New clubs will have two pre-organizational meetings and then the organization meeting is the date of their charter. The
charter night will be when the charter is presented and they will have a silent auction as their first fund-raiser.
If a club decides to close their doors, the following must be picked up by the Lt. Governor: the gavel, bell, banner and
all stationary with Kw on it and all monies should go to the District Treasurer for disbursement.
Marv was asked to present a schedule of how the mileage is calculated.
Stan moved and Dick Rush 2nd
to adjourn at 2:28 pm
NOTE: Lt. Governors need to stay for the whole meeting or at least get permission to leave early if necessary.

Key Club Board Sets Annual Convention Schedule by Peter Van Hook, District Key Club Administrator
The Utah-Idaho District Board of Key Club International met during
the weekend of November 3 at Sherwood Hills Resort near Logan, Utah.
Governor Keith Cash (Logan) called the board together on Friday
evening to hear the executive officers‟ and Administrator‟s reports. As of
November 1 the District consisted of 2172 members in 78 chartered clubs.
Of these fifteen are inactive (usually due to unpaid member dues). Two
new Key Clubs are under development, both in Utah. Governor Keith noted
that he has been visiting clubs, and has been in contact with Lt. Governors
and clubs throughout the District.
Kiwanis District Governor Bill Mullins and First Lady Barbara
attended the Friday sessions, and were special guests at the dinner that
evening. Gov. Bill is a long-time supporter of Key Club, having served for
many years as the Kiwanis Advisor at the Grantsville (UT) High School
Key Club.
Most of the discussions centered on organizing the annual District
Convention to be held in Boise April 25-27, 2008. The theme of this year‟s
convention is “Service is an Art.” The theme will be supported by art
projects solicited from Key Club members, which will be displayed during
the convention.
The three major purposes of the annual convention are the training of
newly-elected local club officers and club members, recognition and awards
for club achievement and member talents, and the election of district
officers to serve during the following year.
The Bylaws of Key Club International state that local club officers
are to be elected each February. They are to work with the current board to
organize for the coming year. Training for officers and committee chairs is
offered at the District Convention.
Each year the Utah-Idaho District grants five scholarships to
graduating seniors who are members of Key Club. There are also awards
for local club achievement, including single service awards. One of the
highlights of the annual convention is the talent contest, with finalists
performing at the convention on Saturday evening.
Each Key Club is granted two representatives during the assembly at
which the officers are elected. Executive officers are elected from around
the District. Lt. Governors are elected by representatives from the
respective divisions.
A new feature of U-I District conventions is the spirit stick, which
will be given to the most active and spirited club present at the convention,
and which the winning club can display at their high school during the year.
The Administrator noted that a preliminary notice of the convention
will be sent to Kiwanis and Key Clubs in late November, with the full
registration packets being mailed in mid-February, following the Board‟s
winter meeting.
The District Key Club Board consists of the Governor and fourteen
officers who are responsible for managing the affairs of the District. The
Kiwanis Advisor to the Board is Peter Van Hook (Sugar House, SLC), who
is annually appointed by the Kiwanis Governor-elect.
Key Club International is the high school service organization
sponsored by Kiwanis. Key Club‟s goal of creating capable, competent,
and caring leaders is accomplished through the active support of sponsoring
Kiwanis Clubs and dedicated Faculty Advisors. Founded in 1925, Key
Club is the largest student-led service organization of its kind in the world.

Hunter HS Key Clubbers at service! By Peggy Fletcher Stack, The Salt Lake Tribune
Shelby Hansen, Vannary Bin and Tiffany Lin may not think of themselves
as Robin Hood's "merry men," but their
leaf-raking efforts on Saturday were just as essential in Salt Lake City's
Sherwood Forest, a trailer park on the west side, as any act of charity from that
mythical band.
To maintain the park's tidy look, Sherwood Forest residents have a limited number of fall days to clear their yards or face
expulsion.
That is tough for Vaughan Goldsberry, a retired long-haul trucker on permanent disability who has lived in his trailer since
1991.
Goldsberry has two "blown-out knees" and is tethered permanently to an oxygen tank for a heart condition.
"If it wasn't for the volunteers, a lot of things wouldn't get
done," Goldsberry said. "We could even get kicked out." Hansen, Bin and Lin are members of Hunter High School's
Key Club, a service organization that gives students a chance to
do various volunteer activities. Their cleanup efforts in Goldsberry's yard were part of the annual Fall Leaf Haul
sponsored by the Utah Food Bank.
More than 240 people showed up at 8:30 a.m. to tackle yard work for about 270 low-income, elderly shut-ins, said Kerri
Duncan, the Food Bank's volunteer coordinator. They came in groups from churches, high schools, and even
drug rehab programs to help those who can no longer do yard
work but still take pride in their property. Volunteers worked for several hours under an unusually warm sun (on last year's Fall
Haul, it rained and snowed).
It's part of the Food Bank's Services for Seniors, which provides low-income elderly and disabled individuals with yard
maintenance as well as prescription pickups, home repairs,
friendly visiting and food delivery. Last year, volunteers performed 4,527 chore services, completed 3,826 home repairs
and delivered 9,408 food boxes at no charge.
In the summer, volunteers mow lawns. In the spring, it's spruce-up time. And in the winter, they shovel.

North American Kiwanis News
Key Leader Set For Spring
Key Leader, a Kiwanis-sponsored leadership experience for today's
youth, has announced its spring schedule. The season runs from February
15 to June 8.
Status of 501c3 status
In May 2005, Kiwanis International filed an application to the United
States Internal Revenue Service for 501(c)3 status. The organization
currently has 501(c)4 status. Both designations qualify as nonprofit, but
501(c)4 does not qualify for tax-deductible dues/fees, as well as other
501(c)3 advantages.
Here is an update on the status of Kiwanis International's application:
▪ The applications have been forwarded with an agent's and
supervisor's recommendations to the IRS Quality Review
Department. Though no official communications have been
received, this department reportedly will send Kiwanis International
additional questions related to the original applications.
▪ If the department denies 501(c)3 status, the application will proceed
to Washington, DC, to another level of review.
▪ If 501(c)3 tax reclassification is approved, the IRS wants a January
1, 2007, effective date, not October 1, 2007, as requested in the
application. Kiwanis has responded that it is willing to accept that
change.
Unallocated Funds Available for Awards
at the Kiwanis International Foundation Office LaMar Anderson, International Foundation Chairman
Kiwanis Clubs that donated funds to the IDD World Wide Service
Project prior to October 1, 2005, may have unallocated funds available for
awards at the Kiwanis International Foundation office. These "unallocated
funds" are credits that can be used towards such awards as the Hixson
($1000) or Tablet of Honor ($2000) recognitions given by the International
Foundation. Clubs should phone the International Foundation office (1-
800-KIWANIS) and check to see if they have unallocated funds available.
NOTE: After December 31, 2007, those unallocated funds will no longer
be available to be used toward awards.
The Kiwanis International Foundation maintains a "Disaster Relief
Fund." Recent wildfires in Southern California, tornados, and flooding in
the mid-west have caused devastation in many areas. Donations by clubs
or individuals to the Disaster Relief Fund will be directed to children who
have the most critical needs through Kiwanis Clubs in the affected areas.
Such donations are tax deductible.
The Utah-Idaho Kiwanis District was one of three North American
Districts that donated more than $5 per member to the annual club giving
campaign. As such, our District will receive five scholarships for both Key
Club and Circle K to be awarded next spring. Clubs are encouraged to
submit this year's contributions ($6 per member is our goal) to the annual
club giving campaign as soon as possible.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE
PRICE KIWANIS CLUB MAKES!!! From The Monthly Reports
The Price Kiwanis Club knows how to do fund-raising so they can
help the children in their community. They really make a difference. The
following show where help was given:
1. Provided funding to Wellington Head Start for playground
equipment.
2. Provided bags to community Nursing Services with items for
children when CNS goes to their house.
3. Sent 3 students to the Hugh O‟Brian Youth Leadership
Conference
4. Provided funding to ABC Learning Center for snacks for children
who go there after school.
5. Provided entrance fees for members of the Carbon High Rodeo
team to participate in the Price rodeo since they are not subsidized by the
school.
6. Helped to fund the Bulgarian dancers.
7. Sent kids to Diabetes camp to teach them how to handle their
disease.
8. Purchased 32 helmets for Carbon Babe Ruth.
9. Supported the Harry Potter Day Camp – it‟s an opportunity for
kids to come and get excited about reading the new book and playing
games.
10. Provided six $500.00 scholarships to students who will be
attending CEU
11. Provided kid‟s activities for Cinco De Mayo celebrations in East
Carbon
12. Served breakfast at Pleasant Valley Days
13. Provided funding for Carbon County Fireworks and free hot dogs
and drinks at the 4th
of July festivities.
14. Sent 5 kids under the supervision of the Family Support and
Justice Center to sports day-camps through Carbon County Recreation.
15. Made up bags for children of miners killed on Aug 6th
.
16. Provided 2 cameras to the Department of Health that are used to
provide therapists out of the area with information on kids for treatment.
Congratulations for serving your community so thoroughly. The
next step in helping kids would be to build some K-Kids Clubs, Builders
Clubs and a Key Club to teach leadership, citizenship and service to the
youth in Carbon County.
SOUTH DAVIS COUNTY KIWANIS CLUB
TRULY GETS INVOLVED Information from Lowell Inkley
The South Davis County Kiwanis Club is small with 12 members,
but they are accomplishing so very much. They are providing a Christmas
gift to 200 less fortunate grade school children. Each bag will contain a
quilt, an outfit, underwear, a book, toys, pajamas, and candy. Their budget
is $5,600 and they have almost completed the fund-raising. The two Key
Clubs that they sponsor made the quilts. This is on top of the “Babycare”
Cupboard project they accomplished in October when they collected
almost a ton of diapers and baby food for the South Davis Food Bank. If
anyone has any friends in the Bountiful, Centerville, Farmington, or North
Salt Lake area, please feel free to send them to join the South Davis
County Kiwanis Club. They have a pretty nice group of great volunteers.

Sugarhouse Club Holiday Dinner and Shop with a Child by Wendy Thompson
Thanks to all the Kiwanian members who helped out
with our holiday dinner. The nearly 200 parents,
Club members and staff had a wonderful time and
the dinner was delicious. Thank you for all your hard
work and dedication.
Also, thanks to those of you who donated or attended
the Shop with a Child program on Tuesday evening
at K-Mart. The 33 families that were served through
the program were incredibly grateful. One mother
battling an illness and trying to provide for her three
children cried so hard with
tears of joy she could not even speak. Another mother of three said the day before we called her to
offer holiday help she had no idea how she was going to make ends meet this Christmas. In fact,
she told me whenever something bad happens in her life she is always saved by the Club. She
believes the day she discovered the Club, her prayers were answered.
Thank you for all your support. Because of wonderful and caring people like you, the Club is
helping children and families every day.
Heber Valley Kiwanis Happenings
KCHV has moved to a new location. We are now meeting in the Community Room inside of
Heber Valley National Bank, located at 2 North Main Street, Heber City, Utah, at 12:15 p.m. on the
first and third Thursday of every month. Lunch is provided so please feel free to visit our club. It
would be a good idea to RSVP, however, to Rayleen Barnes, [email protected].
Wasatch Mountain Jr. High School Builder‟s Club held a fund raising effort for UNICEF
during the week preceding Halloween. Through help from their school advisor, Valerie Thurnell,
the club started a campaign called „Penny Up‟. During finals week the students were allowed to
bring in pennies and then while the teachers wrapped them they did not have to do school work.
Potatoe Chips provided by the Kiwanis Club were also sold bringing a total of $271 by the end of
the week. Penny wrappers were provided by Heber Valley National Bank.
November 27 is the date that was set for the Annual Kiwanis Families Christmas Party.
During this event, 40 + Gingerbread Houses were constructed to help raise money for the Wasatch/
Summit County Children‟s Justice Center. Over $1000 was raised from this project last year and
that much and more is expected for 2007. It is a great event that the Key Club especially, looks
forward to participating in. As well as Gingerbread House building, cookie decorating is available
for the younger children, and writing cards to soldiers from our area that could not be home for the
Holidays.

Orem Kiwanis Club
continued a 38-year tradition
"On the morning of Saturday, September 29, 2007,
the Orem Kiwanis Club continued a 38-year tradition as it
hosted and put on the Orem Kiwanis Cross Country
Invitational at Utah Valley State College (UVSC). This
Cross Country race is for high school students and it
attracted more
than 1,450 athletes from 49 high schools (across two
states). The race has become the oldest, and one of the
largest, cross country events in the state of Utah.
Despite dropping temperatures and threatening storms, the turnout was one of the best ever
with approximately 5,000 people in attendance. Needless to say, the hot chocolate sold out
quickly. It was a fun event and athletes, coaches, and Kiwanians alike all look forward to the 39th
Annual Orem Kiwanis Cross Country Invitational next fall."
Rupert Kiwanis Club Help Prepare Items from the Rupert Care and Sharing Tree
Festival By Dianne Schow
A project of the Rupert Kiwanis Club is to help prepare
items from the Rupert Caring and Sharing Tree Festival
for delivery to the purchasers. The Rupert Kiwanis Club
has helped with this project since the festival began - 9
years ago.
The club has donated trees to be sold at the affair, made monetary donations and have always
helped with the delivery and preparations for delivery as well as supporting the event on an
individual basis.
This picture includes five Kiwanians helping wrap a tree for delivery. From left – Dianne Schow,
Nick Hallett, Charlie Warren community volunteer, Audrey Neiwerth, Cheryl Juntunen, Kerry
Morrison community volunteer, and Larry Hansen. Dianne, Nick, Audrey, Cheryl and Larry are all
members of the Rupert Kiwanis Club.

Living A Dream
Czaplinek, Poland, is a dream city. Its reputation as an idyllic small
town earned it the attentionof the reality TV show Miasto Marzen
(Dream City). For nearly a year, cameras followed chosen residents in
every aspect of their lives, documenting their joys and their setbacks.
Among the city's 7,000 citizens, one heroine emerged: 9-year-old
Agnieszka Hajdukiew.
The Miasto Marzen TV cameras captured a brave young girl
overcoming incredible challenges:
▪ She was born without legs and without a left arm.
▪ She and her four brothers are orphans.
▪ One brother has leukemia.
▪ Her aunt quit her job to take care of the children.
▪ Eight family members, including a paralyzed grandfather, live in a tiny apartment
unsuitable for Agnieszka's disability.
Agnieszka's courage and joy for life captured the hearts of TV viewers across Europe, including
Kiwanians:
▪ The Kiwanis Club of Bad Schwartau, Germany, paid for Agnieszka's rehabilitation in
Hanover, Germany, where she was fitted with prostheses for her legs in 2005.
Kiwanians also paid for a new pair of prostheses in 2006.
▪ Czaplinek, Poland, Kiwanians led a community-wide project to build a home for her and
her family, obtaining an agreement with the country's Ministry of the Interior to conduct
a nationwide fundraiser.
Now there's a dream home in the dream city. It has windows, doors, electricity, a roof, heat,
water, gas, and heated floors-all designed and built for Agnieszka.
"Agnieszka is an intelligent and very lively young girl," says Magdalena Mokrogulska,
president of the Czaplinek Kiwanis club. "Thanks to Poland's generosity, she has faith in her
future."

Howard „Hob‟ Bruns Obituary
RUPERT - Howard "Hob" Melvin Bruns, a 99-year-old longtime resident of
Rupert, passed away Saturday, Nov. 10, 2007, at the Minidoka Memorial Hospital
from complications following a stroke.
Howard was born Feb. 9, 1908, in Northville, S.D., the son of Fred William
Bruns and Harriet Darlene Cook Bruns. He was raised in Kimberly, where he
graduated from high school. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Gooding
College in Gooding, Idaho, and did graduate work at Stanford University in Palo
Alto, Calif., the University of Oregon in Eugene and Idaho State University in Pocatello, and
received his master's degree in business education at the University of Idaho at Moscow.
He married Doris Maricle on Feb. 17, 1940, in Rupert. To them were born two sons,
Winston and Stanley. Howard was a farmer in Minidoka County and was a respected educator for
a total of 35 years, retiring from the Minidoka County School District. He was an active member
of the Rupert United Methodist Church, where he sang in the Chancel Choir, a men's quartet, and
served as the church financial secretary as well as many other positions. He was a past member of
the Rupert Grange, a charter member of the Snake River Flats men's barbershop singing group
and was a faithful member of the Rupert Kiwanis Club.
His hobbies included music, fishing, reading, writing, scrapbooking, photography, and
raising beautiful roses. He truly had a love of life and saw beauty in everything and everyone. The
sparkle in his eye, his bright smile and his warmth of character endeared him to everyone he met.
This gentle and respected man will be sorely missed by his family, friends and community.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Doris Bruns of Rupert; his two sons and their
spouses, Winston (Lindsay) Bruns of Nampa and Stanley (Leanna) Bruns of Rupert; six
grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; two
brothers, Elvin Bruns and Loren Bruns; and one sister, Eltha Given.
