WE CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST.

WE HOPE WE CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE.

WE WORK IN THE PRESENT. By John Brown, 2012 - 2013 Utah - Idaho District Governor

Everything we do should be based on the above. The past is gone. We can learn from

it, but we cannot change it. Declining attendance at this past Mid Year Conferences tells us

that it is not working; therefore for this year we canceled it. It is my recommendation that for

the year 2014 we cancel Mid Year and return to area training for CLE and Lieutenant

Governors. This is only a recommendation, as Jim Spinelli will be Governor in that year and

it is his and the District Board’s decision.

In recent memory attendance at District Convention have had bad years and

acceptable years -- but not good years. We want to make District Convention the go-to event

in the Utah – Idaho District year. My board and I will work to make this upcoming District

Convention something that the members will want to come to and something they will

remember and look forward to each year.

In the past we have had a difficult time filling the position of District Governor.

Seldom was there actually a contested ballot. In my case, I was appointed to fill the position

of Governor-Elect. Thus, I have proposed two by-laws changes. The first will add the

position of Vice-Governor, who will be third in line for the position of Governor of the

Utah-Idaho District.

The second is a district dues increase of $10 per member per year. Both of these

proposals were voted on and approved by the district board to be placed on the ballot for a

vote of the House of Delegates.

If you have feelings either for or against these by-law changes, your club needs to

send voting delegates to this year’s District Convention. My hope is that by passing these

by-law changes at this year’s convention we will see a positive effect on our election process

for governor and increase our attendance at our annual Convention.

District Convention is each Kiwanis Club’s chance to let its voice be heard through

the ability to vote for or against by-law changes.

Please read the article that addresses these by-law changes in this issue of the U & I

Kiwanian.

Other issues that affect our district’s future are sustaining our current clubs and

building new clubs. I am asking each member of our Kiwanis family to take a critical look at

your club and determine whether or not your club is healthy. I mean by that: Do you look

forward to going to meetings? Do you have good speakers? If you were a new member

would you feel welcome?

If some or all of the things I have just mentioned do not pertain to your club, then your

club may be in trouble, acknowledged or not. If you feel your club needs help, please have

your club President or Secretary contact your division Lieutenant Governor and schedule a

meeting with him. I am still looking for a Lieutenant Governor for Division 7. The clubs in

that division are Cedar City, Santa Clara, and St. George.

There are clubs and divisions that show membership increases. Please see the article

entitled:

Utah-Idaho District of Kiwanis Divisions and Clubs that

Show Positive Membership Recruitment as of April 30, 2013

We are doing well with our Eliminate Project thanks to the efforts of Revis Turner, the

District Coordinator for Eliminate. I cannot thank Revis enough for the time and effort he

has put into this worthwhile project.

The District is going to compile a cookbook made up of recipes submitted by Kiwanis

members and friends of Kiwanis for sale at the District Convention.

Please see the article entitled:

I thank you for all that you do for Kiwanis, our district and your clubs.

NEXT STEPS FOR SENIORS

Show Key Club and CKI members that graduation doesn’t mean the end of their Kiwanis-family

experience. Connect them with the next step in the Kiwanis family, whether it’s CKI for future

college students or Kiwanis-club membership for young adults entering the workforce. And

encourage them to sign up for the Key Club and CKI alumni networks, where they can stay in touch

with their friends, with the SLP they love—and with Kiwanis.

Learn more about the Key Club and CKI alumni networks at keyclub.org/alumni and

circlek.org/alumni. [actual links are KCI: http://sites.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis/en/Alumni /Key-Club-

UTAH-IDAHO DISTRICT OF KIWANIS

DIVISIONS AND CLUBS

THAT SHOW POSITIVE MEMBERSHIP

RECRUITMENT

AS OF APRIL 30, 2013

I would like to thank all of the clubs in our district for all

the wonderful things you do for children. “Many hands make

light work” is a thought that we need to embrace as a district.

The more Kiwanis members we have, the easier it is for our

Kiwanis clubs to do all of the things we want and need to do.

The divisions and clubs listed below are working hard to

increase our membership and thus increase our ability to do

more for children.

We do have divisions and clubs that are gaining members;

that proves that we can buck the trend of losing members in our

district.

Division 2, Lieutenant Governor William “Bill” Mullins :

Bonneville Kiwanis Club, +3 members, Tooele Kiwanis Club,

+3;

Division 4, Lieutenant Governor Jim Terry: Bannock -

Pocatello Kiwanis Club, +4; Pocatello Kiwanis Club, +5.

Individual clubs with positive membership growth in

Idaho are: Burley, +1; Rupert, +1; Capitol City Boise, +7;

Eagle, +3; Emmett +1.

Individual clubs with positive membership growth in

Utah are: Springville,+1, Tremonton, +4; Heber Valley, +1,

Park City, +1, Sugar House Salt Lake City, +1; West Valley Salt

Lake City, +1.

The only club in Oregon, Ontario +5.

It is possible to increase your clubs’ membership, just look at

the clubs listed above.

Well done all of you who have increased the membership in

your Kiwanis Clubs’.

John Brown,

Governor 2012 - 2013

UTAH – IDAHO DISTRICT BY-LAW CHANGES

DISTRICT CONVENTION AUGUST 17, 2013

The House of Delegates will be asked to vote on or ratify

changes to the Utah – Idaho District By-Laws during our

District Convention in August 2013.

Lieutenant Governor of Division 6, Larry Hunter, has

been working on bringing our by-laws into compliance with

changes made to the Kiwanis International By-Laws at the 2012

Kiwanis International Convention. We will be asked to ratify

those changes.

The District Board and I have asked for the addition of

the position of Vice-Governor which needs to be ratified. We

asked for this change to make the election of Governor a

smoother process, similar to what many of our Kiwanis Clubs

already have. The Vice-Governor would be third in line and,

once elected, would be the only candidate for Governor-Elect

and then the only candidate for Governor.

The District Board and I are asking for a District dues

increase of $10 per member per year. This would bring the total

District dues to $30 per person per year. The highest district

dues paid by a North American district are $58.80. The average

district dues are $30.28, and the median is $30. The additional

money raised by the dues increase will be used to fund District

Convention. This will reduce registration fees, allow for better

speakers and entertainment and help offset food costs. The dues

increase will also be used to fund a stipend for the new position

of Vice-Governor.

Governor 2012 - 2013

The Kiwanis International Foundation recommended that all Kiwanis Club

donate at least $6 per member this fiscal year. Our Utah-Idaho District at last year's

annual convention passed a resolution at all clubs in our district consider donating at

least $6 per member to both the Kiwanis International Foundation and our Utah-

Idaho Foundation during this fiscal year. Lt. Governors whose Division contribute at

least $5 per member to the KIF annual club gift campaign will be recognized by the

International Foundation.

Kiwanis Districts that donate at least $5 per member to the annual club gift campaign this year will receive $5,000.00

from the International Foundation to be used as matching scholarships for their Circle K and Key Clubs. For each of the last

several years our Utah-Idaho District has received $5,000 from the KIF to use as matching scholarships. A few of those years

we led all Kiwanis Districts on a per member basis by contributing more than $6.00 per member from our district.

Our Utah-Idaho District is lagging behind in the amount donated to the annual club gift campaign as of this date last

year. We need help in at least three ways: 1) Clubs that have not as yet donated to the annual club gift campaign, will you

please send in $6 per member contribution to the Kiwanis International Foundation to arrive prior to September 30th. 2)

Clubs that have donated less than $5 or $6 per member, will you consider sending in a second gift. 3) Individual Kiwanians

can make a personal contribution to KIF's annual club gift campaign in the name of their club; a few past U-I District

Governors have done so in the past and again this year.

Thanks for your help, Sincerely, LaMar Anderson, district CKI chairman

South Salt Lake Valley; Div 6 Meridian; Div 7 Santa Clara; Div

8 Midvale/Fort Union. Wasatch-Roy/Riverdale had their

Charter Revoked due to non-payment of dues.

Heber Valley Kiwanis has voted to close, but are trying to

keep the club open. John Brown will visit them when they meet.

Provo Golden K is closing on September 30, 2013.

John Brown stated that we need to turn around the diminishing membership. Build new clubs in the areas that have closed

clubs in the past. Lt. Governors need to work with clubs who are having trouble – John will meet with them, too.

Lt. Governor Reports:

Div 2 – Bill Mullins – Bonneville has a decent group. Capitol Hill is having trouble getting people to run for office.

Clearfield has a couple of new members, but need to continue building up their club. Layton has two members that continue to

do a yearly exchange of President and Secretary; they have been small for about 10 years, but support 3 Key Clubs. South

Salt Lake Valley was great, but has lost many members. The members just need to bring prospective members to rebuild their

club. Tooele has many members who are bringing new members. This division has been working on Membership Growth

since Bob Dempsay said +1 and he was distinguished his year.

Div 1 – Bob Baker – Orem is working on an ELIMINATE Project. They are OK and keeping their membership up.

Price doesn't have women yet and if you wear a tie to visit their meeting, they will cut it off. Orem Golden K has Ralph

Benson to keep it a tight club. Pleasant Grove has lots of activity, but membership fluctuates. When a member passed away,

they asked in lieu of flowers send money to ELIMINATE. Saratoga Springs' membership is down, but they are working on

getting a new Key Club.

Div 8 – Newell Johnson – Heber Valley might close. Midvale/Fort Union is struggling, but Janet Flinders visited and

brought training manuals for the new president and secretary. Park City is not meeting much, but is doing service. Salt Lake

City is holding its own with great speakers. They need better attendance. Lunch is $19.00 + dues. They have a fund-raiser:

1st Annual Daddy-Daughter Ball. Sugar House has good speakers, great fund-raisers and lots of service. West Valley is active

with service and Key Clubs, but needs to work on membership.

Div 5 – Dean Banner – Buhl meets at Spaghetti Place and sell corn as a fund-raiser for $3.00 per dozen or $5.00 per two

dozen. Burley is very active. They sponsor a Soccer League in the Fall and have a 5K Run. Filer is a good group; active and

strong. Hailey puts out a monthly newsletter and keeps busy. Jerome is very small, but after Bob Amoureux passed away,

they got a new member. They have an internet site about their food drive. Kimberly meets twice a month. Lost their

President-elect, but got a new one. The new school superintendent is interested in joining. Rupert gained 3 new members,

then lost 4. President and President-elect are both in their 30's. Twin Falls has good leadership in the club; wants to charter a

Key Club at a Charter School. Wants to build a Builders Club. They support Key Clubs at Twin Falls High School and

Canyon Ridge High School. Larry Hunter is an alumni of the Twin Falls Key Club. All the clubs need to involve parents of

Key Club members in a project or a celebration dinner.

Div 10 – Doug Lund – The President of Spanish Fork resigned abruptly; President-elect has taken over for the rest of

this year and his term next year. Doing well. A Doctor in the club hates Unicef and wants no one to donate to ELIMINATE.

Stephanie Bennett inserted that each club should be aware of guests attending, so they don't become embarrassed. Nephi only

had one member attend the installation banquet, but they are doing good service. A couple of clubs have turned into lunch

socials. Has encouraged the clubs to get involved in service and get non-Kiwanians to help at their service projects. They

need to get Key Clubbers to attend Kiwanis to tell how they are doing. Provo Gold lost their meeting place, but were invited

into the Provo Library with a free room. They voted to disband – the money needs to go to the District Foundation. The

MINUTES OF THE THIRD BOARD MEETING

(Continued)

District Foundation Board will vote on whether to send it to

ELIMINATE. It's rejuvenating to attend other clubs and meet

with Kiwanians.

Div 6 – Larry Hunter – Wants the division to have more

unity, so they are having a division service project “Adopt-A-

Park (Camelback) on Apr 13th to do clean-up and replace bark.

All the clubs are encouraged to attend Kiwanis Int'l Convention

and all clubs have ELIMINATE fund-raisers including a Silent

Movie Nite in March every year. Boise Gem State is solid; has

programs; supports 2 Key Clubs; and has good ideas for

increasing membership. Capital City, Boise is growing; has

weekly meetings with programs; has a great web page (Gordon

Lewis asked for the webmaster's info); supports 5 Key Clubs;

many members bring guests. Eagle is small, but holding their

own. They are a very good club with lots of potential for

growth. Meridian is now at 47 members; very active; and have

good projects. Emmett is small, but have started getting

corporate members; and are very active.

Div 4 – Jim Terry – Bannock is getting schools to be

corporate members and is starting a K-Kids in September 2013.

They have a Big Kiwanis Garage Sale as their fund-raiser. Idaho

Falls is getting smaller. They have a Film-fest by Students as a

fund-raiser. Shelley has a community Easter Egg Hunt and they

do a lot in the community. They have a booth at the Blackfoot

Fair as a fund-raiser. Pocatello is getting smaller, but are

working on Chartering a Malad High School Key Club. Their

big fund-raiser is the Bing Hong Pancake Breakfast. Rexburg

sponsors an Easter Egg Hunt with 5,000 eggs filled with candy.

The Lt. Governor for next year is Mark Gunning from Bannock.

LaMar Anderson spoke about the Annual Club Gift to the

Kiwanis Int'l Foundation. Encouraged clubs to donate $6.00 per

member. If the whole district donates $5.00 per member KIF

gives back $5,000 for matching scholarships. In 2013-2014 KIF

is making a big change: They will only give scholarships to the top 5 Districts. Japan is always the top #1 District and will

receive $10,000. Second place is $4,000; Third place is $3,000; Fourth place is $2,000 and Fifth place is $1,000. All Districts

will get 5% back of monies donated to Annual Club Gift, Skip-A-Meal, Hixson & Zellers (that don't got to ELIMINATE), and

for Tablets of Honor. Clubs can apply for grants from KIF, but not for building anything. A project that is too big for a club

or district. KIF could only fund 20% of the proposals received this year. Right now Utah-Idaho ranks 8th with the District at

$2.68 per capita. Each Lt. Governor needs to explain Annual Club Gift to their clubs. Annual Club Gift is the priority gift to

KIF because we can get back scholarship money. There are 35 Districts in North America. Clubs need to be educated about

filling out grant requests to KIF. Also, clubs should consider sending a request for the Connelly Medal for people who are

heroes.

Communication – If you feel a club is in trouble, send an e-mail to John Brown and he will visit them to try to boost

them up. Keep him informed as to club status.

New club Bylaws are ready for on-line submission

The District needs a YCPO Chair. Since we don't have one yet, John Brown will attend the YCPO Conference.

District Convention will be 16-18 August 2013 in Salt Lake City, UT. The registration form and information will be in

the next U&I Kiwanian. Friday will have training and a catered BBQ; Saturday will be workshops and the House of

Delegates; Sunday will be the Memorial Service and both Board Meetings. The BBQ will be delegated to a club to handle.

Registration will be one price; meals will be broken out for each day (all day).

District Mid-Year Conference was canceled.

Governors Quilt – Bill Mullins is in charge of ticket sales. $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00. He passed out 40 tickets, price

list and a picture to each Lt. Governor in attendance.

Governor's visits to each division need to happen very soon. Each Lt. Governor needs to contact Governor Brown about

his schedule of when he could attend a division banquet to honor him. Please no gifts.

Miscellaneous:

1. Elimination of Mid-Year Conference has caused training to be done in each division.

2. Need to set up multi-year booking of District Conventions.

3. Western Canada and Montana have encouraged co-conventions every 3 years.

4. Establish a Vice Governor with a Bylaw change.

5. Increase the number of master trainers (Lt Governors while visiting your clubs, ask any who might be good).

6. On-going Growth Committee. Larry Hunter said to have 3 year terms and rotate so they are 3 years.

7. Club and District Websites need to be compatible.

8. Kiwanis Family get-to-ethers meet in a large hotel or go to a campsite to bond and enjoy each other's company (Kiwanis &

CKI).

9. Need more educational and fun ideas at District Convention. Have a computer room where someone can look up Webinars

of interest at Kiwanis International.

MINUTES OF THE THIRD BOARD MEETING (Continued)

10. The Montana Governor got the rights to Bill Cosby Videos (made them available

during breaks and lifted everyone's moods).

11. Tele-conferencing with Lt. Governors with more lead time.

12. Int'l Convention in Vancouver BC – There are great places to visit: Lionsdale

Market; take a sea bus $9.50 all day pass; Eastside Marios is a great Restaurant.

Thursday night June 27th is set for a District Dinner.

13. Raise District Due by $10.00 per person to pay for DCON reg and part of food.

Motion by Doug Lund; 2nd

by Jim Spinelli to be brought before the House of

Delegates August 17, 2013 to raise the District Dues from $20.00 per year to $30.00

per year. The vote was unanimous. Voter information packets need to be put together

and it needs to be advertised in the U&I Kiwanian.

Jerry Steelman – Builders Club Administrator – Tooele just built two new

Builders Clubs. There are 16 in the District. Need one new one in every division.

The Great American Award is presented by some Kiwanis Clubs: 5th

Graders must

learn the Pledge of Allegiance (including punctuation and spelling), Preamble to the

Constitution, Gettysburg Address, All Presidents in order, and all States with their

Capitols.

Revis Turner – ELIMINATE World-wide Service Project – Need to have

$200,000 pledged or raised by May 1st. $370 + per member over 5 years. This

District's Achievement Goal is to raise $650,000 by 2015. The Challenge Goal is to

raise $756,000 or $474 + per member. Mother's Day Zeller's are different from last

year. Last year the ribbon was pink. This year is is blue and turquoise. Buy one for

$1,250.00 for a special woman in your life by June 15th – this protects 690 mothers

from Maternal & Neonatal Tetanus. There are bumper stickers for sale at $5.00 each

or more. If someone purchases a Zeller by June 15th

, the club or person will get 10

pumper stickers to give or sell. The ELIMINATE Committee purchased 250 as a first

order

John Brown presented a Certificate of Appreciation to Bill Mullins when he

awarded him with his Zeller.

Larry Hunter moved to change the District Bylaws to include a Vice Governor;

Bob Baker seconded. The vote was unanimous. The next Governor-elect should be

from Utah and the Vice Governor from Idaho.

Jim Spinelli needs Lt. Governors for 2013-2014. These are who he has at this

time:

Div 1 Bob Baker; Div 2 Bill Mullins; Div 4 Mark Gunning; Div 6 Larry

Hunter; Div 8 Newell Johnson; Div 9 Stan Boster; Div 10 Chad Bunn. Need Lt.

Governors for Div 3, 5, and 7.

Bill Mullins moved to adjourn the meeting at 12:20pm; Newell Johnson 2nd

;

vote was unanimous.

OPTIONAL DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS /

CRIME INSURANCE PROGRAM

All clubs should know that Kiwanis International purchases liability insurance for all

of the clubs and activities that covers the legal liability for the Kiwanis family.

However, coverage for directors and officers and crime coverage for the individual

clubs are optional and the responsible to purchase if desired. This policy is available

for a reduced cost from the Kiwanis program insurance carrier, the Hylant group and

information to purchase is sent directly to the clubs. If you serve as a member of the

board, you will want to know if this is something you want for your club to have. The

Utah – Idaho district has its’ own coverage but this does not extend to each club. This

coverage mainly is for decisions made by the board and the crime would cover

money.

As a reminder, clubs still have a limited opportunity to purchase either or both of the

optional Directors’ and Officers’ liability and crime coverage’s. The enrollment will

be closing on July 31st. After that, clubs will have to wait until novermber 1st of this

year to apply.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Hylant Group directly at P 317-817-

5139 or email Adam Reiff at [email protected].

May all your efforts be safe and prosperous!

Thank you for all you do for Kiwanis.

Sincerely,

Lori l. Bergsma

ATTENTION ALL CLUB SECRETARIES By Janet Flinders, District Secretary

Every club is allowed two delegates at the Kiwanis International Convention in

Vancouver, BC. If your club does not have two members attending, you can ask a

past Lt. Governor to vote in your club's name (if their club has more than two

attending). If a past Lt. Governor accepts this, the club requesting them to vote in

their behalf will need to get a delegate form filled out and sent to Janet Flinders, 515

Bringhurst Drive, Providence, UT 84332-9439 for her signature. A copy of this form

will be sent to Kiwanis International by Janet. Any questions, please call Janet at

435-757-2950.

All attending International convention be sure to bring your passport. This

convention is in Canada, so you can't get across the border and back without a

passport.

Monthly reports are due by the 10th of the next month. All who are in arrears,

please get your reports filled out on-line or send them to Janet at the above address

and she will enter them for you with your permission.

The CLUB ELECTION REPORT is due June 1st. All clubs need to have their

elections completed by June to get this information to Kiwanis Int'l immediately.

They really prefer to have the International Directory complete and up to date before

printing. All clubs MUST use the kiwanisone.org system for this report for officers

for 2013-14.

Club Bylaws must be updated and sent to Kiwanis International, 3636

Utah – Idaho District Dinner

Kiwanis International Convention

June 27, 2013

Vancouver British Columbia

We will be eating at East Side Mario’s just across the bay from the convention center.

The address is 123 Carrie Cates Court, North Vancouver BC; it is in Lower Lonsdale

neighborhood. There are many shops and markets in the immediate area. If you wish

to see a menu, go to: http://www.eastsidemarios.com I have made reservations for the

entire Utah – Idaho District contingent. Dinner will be ordered off of the menu. The

cost will depend on your order, but in most cases should be less than $20 per person.

Please let me know if you do not desire to go to dinner, I will inform the restaurant to

adjust our reservation. Getting to East Side Mario’s is very easy, just take the Seabus.

The first choice for accessing North Vancouver for many visitors is the Seabus, a 400-

passenger catamaran ferry that travels between the Waterfront Station in downtown

Vancouver and Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. The Seabus is part of TransLink,

Metro Vancouver's public transit system. The crossing takes 12 minutes, and the

Seabus operates from about 6am to 1am Monday to Saturday, and 8am to 11pm on

Sunday.

I hope to see all of you at the International Convention and also at our District Dinner.

The dress for dinner will be casual.

U AND I KAN KOOK

(UTAH-IDAHO DISTRICT OF KIWANIS COOKBOOK)

A cookbook consisting of the combined recipes of members of the District and friends

of Kiwanis has the potential to raise a substantial amount of money. All the profit

from the sale will go to the ELIMINATE Project.

The profit from the recipe book sales will be divided equally based on:

1. Club that submits the most recipes

2. Club with the highest percentage of club participation (Under 20 members)

3. Club with the highest percentage of club participation (20-40 members)

4. Club with the highest percentage of club participation (41 members and above)

The clubs who receive an award amount will be able to use it toward their club’s

ELIMINATE suggested giving amount. The money could conceivably be enough for

a Walter Zeller Award for a member of your club.

Please contact your division Lieutenant Governor if you are willing to be the lead

person in your division for this fundraiser.

Please send your recipes to me: [email protected]. All of the recipes need to be in

by July 1, 2013 for submission to the printer.

The Utah-Idaho District Challenge to have gifts and pledges total $200,000 by May

31. As a district we have received at the Kiwanis International Foundation, $178,910

as of April 16. We want to encourage all clubs to send in funds raised by the

Eliminate Project club committees to reach our goal of $200,000. Remember as soon

as the money is sent in to the KI Foundation, the funds are sent to UNICEF for the

immunization of mothers and babies. With $200 K our District will protect 111,100

mothers and their children.

The Rupert Kiwanis Club is excited to announce their first Annual Mother’s Day

Award to honor a special woman in Minidoka County for her efforts in benefiting

young children (six and under) and/or pregnant women. Kiwanis is honoring this

woman in conjunction with the challenge to be a major player in the International

ELIMINATE MNT PROJECT. Our fundraising will help mothers and babies

throughout the world become immune toTetanus, which claims the life of a baby

every nine minutes and a mother every eighteen minutes.

This will be done through the efforts of UNICEF, which is providing tetanus shots

and boosters, and further education about cleanliness and sterility in the birthing of

babies.

We are asking for nominations for a woman from Minidoka County who is a mother

or mother-figure. This opens up the field to almost anyone who might be in the

medical, daycare or education profession. Or it could be your next-door neighbor who

has done something outstanding with young children or pregnant mothers.

Updates from the field

UNICEF shared that it is awaiting the results of the validation surveys that the World

Health Organization (WHO) completed in Cote d’Ivoire, Iraq and Sierra Leone. I

have provided some additional updates from the field for you to use as encouragement

and evidence of our hard work to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.

Countries that have upcoming validation surveys include:

Four states (Mizoram, Odisha, Delhi and Uttarkand) in India are conducting

validation surveys this month.

Gabon has scheduled its validation survey in July.

Lao PDR and Equatorial Guinea both successfully completed their pre-

validation surveys and are now ready to conduct validation surveys.

The following countries have Tetanus Toxoid Supplemental Immunization

Activities (TT SIAs) planned for April and May:

South Sudan is currently conducting TT SIAs in four states, aiming to

immunize more than 1.2 million women of reproductive age.

Haiti, where our delegation will travel next week, will conduct SIAs at the end

of this month and into early May, aiming to immunize approximately 1.3

million women of reproductive age.

Afghanistan is aiming to vaccinate 800,000 women of reproductive age in May.

Mali plans to conduct SIAs in 22 districts in May.

Kenya plans to conduct the first round of SIAs at the end of May, aiming to immunize

approximately 1.5 million women of reproductive age.

KURE MOTORCYCLE VISIT

AT THE DIVISION 7 INTERCLUB

HOSTED BY THE SANTA CLARA CLUB

One Kiwanian with a vision for the open road for the elimination of Maternal-

Neonatal Tetanus is putting his efforts into riding his motorcycle in a summer tour of

all 48 states. Bob Burleson, a member of the La Canada Kiwanis Club, California,

will attempt to ride his motorcycle over 12,000 miles for the longest all-in-one-country

ride and break the World Guinness Book Record in doing so. The trip will begin at

the La Canada Club on Memorial Day, May 27, and conclude with a return trip home

by Labor Day.

Bob “The Eliminator” Burlison will be

attending at least one Kiwanis Club

meeting in each of the 48 states during

his summer journey. The Santa Clara

Kiwanis Club will host Bob when it

meets on May 30 at 12:30 pm at the

Golden Corral in St. George. Division

7 has scheduled an Interclub for the

event, and Governor John Brown and

Lt. Gov. Bill Mullins will be in

attendance as well.

As reported in the LA Times,

“Burlison is a longtime member of the Kiwanis Club of La Cañada-AM. The

Kiwanis Unity Ride to Eliminate (KURE) project will support the Eliminate Project,

an international effort by Kiwanis and UNICEF to defeat maternal and neonatal

tetanus. Thousands of children in developing countries — and some mothers — die

from the disease every year.

"This seemed like a pretty good excuse to take a little ride," said Burlison. "I hope it

will strengthen the Kiwanis name and unite everyone across the nation."

His ride is a new BMW bike. His high-tech helmet includes a Bluetooth device, a

navigation system and a hook-up for a MP3 player. He will wear a jumpsuit, which

he hopes to decorate with a symbol from each state.”

KIWANIS OF HAILEY AND THE WOOD RIVER VALLEY

$1000 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED

Kiwanis of Hailey and the Wood River Valley is proud to announce Jessica

Lamprecht as this year’s first recipient of the $1000 scholarship. Jessica presented an

ESSAY, entitled "Chain Reaction" of how she will change the world one community,

one child at a time. Jessica was an active member in the Key Club at WRHS. The

scholarship funds were raised locally at the 4th of July rodeo concessions.

In the photo is Jessica Lamprecht, left, with Kim Baker, Hailey, ID President, right.

Jessica Lamprecht

Key Club Scholarship Essay

Chain Reaction

What does “changing the world, one child and one community at time” mean to me?

To me, it means that if I want to change the world, it’s not going to happen by some

great big event or invention I come up with. You change the world by first changing

yourself, and then helping every person you can. Focusing on the individual in a

community starts a chain reaction. If each one of us could make one person’s life

better, then that one person we touched will want to do the same for someone else and

they, in turn, help someone else and it goes on and on until it builds into a wave of

people helping people which changes communities and changes the world. I want to

be that person who makes this world better one person at a time. I’m going to school

as a business major with a minor in photography so I can own my own photography

business. Being a professional photographer, my whole job will be focusing on each

person I photograph to make them feel attractive and

special. I want every client I have to walk away from

their session feeling they have worth. Especially when it

comes to girls, I want to give them that certain kind of

confidence in themselves that they don’t have when they

don’t feel beautiful. Our world is so drenched in all these

unachievable perceptions of beauty that I want to make

people realize that they don’t have to strive for

unachievable to be beautiful. I want to inspire them with

confidence to go out into the world and contribute in

their own ways to changing the world. You can’t fix the

world by yourself. It only comes with teamwork. I’m

going to start a chain reaction and change the world, one

person and one community at a time.

KIWANIS HIXON AWARD/JIM SPINELLI

The Kiwanis of Hailey and the Wood River

Valley is proud to announce Jim Spinelli as

the George F. Hixon Fellowship

recipient. This award was chosen by club

membership for commitment to the children

of the community and involvement and

passion in our local club. Funds were

donated to help with the elimination of

maternal and neonatal tetanus. We would

like to thank Jim for his dedicated service to

Kiwanis of our community. Jim is the

governor elect for 2012-2013 and governor

2013-2014 of the Utah-Idaho District.

A CERTIFICATE FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE

WAS PRESENTED TO KIM BAKER A Certificate for Distinguished Service was

presented to Kim Baker, the President of the

Hailey and the Wood River Valley Kiwanis

Club in Idaho on May 2, 2013.

President Kim has been instrumental in

recruiting new members into the club and

focusing the clubs efforts towards the needs

of the community. The Hailey and the Wood

River Valley Kiwanis Club is on track to fulfill the requirements to become a

POCATELLO

CLUBS

KIWANIS ONE

DAY 2013

PROJECT

POCATELLO

— Ben LaBarge, the

Vice-President of the

Bannock Kiwanis is also the manager of the

Pocatello Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

Members of the club were discussing possible

projects to work on with the Pocatello

Kiwanis Club, and Ben suggested working on

the latest Habitat for Humanity home and

participating in a major clean-up of the

Restore. The North Garfield neighborhood is

being revitalized one home at a time and a

home was nearing completion.

The new, modest two-story home with

red and blue siding and gray trim now stands

on the lot with plans to build another one

nearby. Saturday morning, April 6th, the front

yard of the new home was filled with

volunteers from the Pocatello and Bannock

Kiwanis Clubs. Using shovels, rakes and

wheelbarrows, they were grading the front

yard and planting trees. “It’s exciting when

two clubs to work together,” said Bannock

Kiwanis member Anne LoPiccalo.

It was the value of the Habitat for

Humanity project that drew the Kiwanis

together to apply a little elbow grease to the

front yard of the home. The slope away from

the porch on the home had to be improved

and trees needed to be planted. About 10

volunteers from the mixed Kiwanis clubs

pitched in to help project manager, Zane

Robinson.

“We appreciate all the volunteer help

we can get,” Robinson said. He’s hoping to

finish the home in May. LoPiccalo said its

club members sit down each year and looks at

needs in the community. This spring they

contacted the other Kiwanis club in Pocatello

and combined efforts on the Habitat for

Humanity project.

And even though 10 volunteers were

busy moving dirt, removing rocks and

planting trees, LoPiccalo apologized that

there weren’t more. “The problem is we have

so many things going on today,” she said.

Club members from both chapters were

attending the Zonta Women of Achievement

awards luncheon, and others were at the

ReStore, which helps generate money for

Habitat for Humanity. There were also

several sports events being hosted in the Gate

City on that day.

Volunteers make it all happen. Though

Kiwanis members were doing landscaping

Saturday, over the past few months volunteers

from BYU-Idaho built the cedar fence and the

footings for the home, including labor, were

donated by Spring Creek Construction.

The North Garfield project is the tenth

one tackled by the organization. Robinson

said so far every owner who has moved into a

Habitat for Humanity home has stayed.
