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.

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

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.

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
