OBJECT 6 Larry Hunter, 2017 – 2018 Utah – Idaho District Governor

In addition to the importance Kiwanians place on ethics, we adopt Object 6 of “The Objects

of Kiwanis” which reads as follows:

Object 6 – To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high

idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and

goodwill.

As Kiwanians we can work with other members of our community to maintain and create

an atmosphere where the four listed attributes can exist. While no one of them is more

important than another, there are few organizations which espouse the "old-fashioned"

virtues of righteousness and patriotism. Even to speak of righteousness even in the non-

religious sense of consistently choosing correct principles, seems to evoke sentiments of

bias or favoritism of one religion or philosophy over another. However, all true religious

and responsible philosophies teach the importance of making decisions which enhance

society.

We are, of course, an international organization. We cannot expect Kiwanians in Taiwan,

France, or Canada to favor the United States over their own country. There is room under

the Kiwanis tent for members from many lands, all of whom are dedicated by law and

conscience to their own country and government, even if it is a government, we as

Americans may not endorse.

“Peace on earth, goodwill forward men” was the first message of the modern era. Those

two phrases are interlocked and peace on earth, which mankind has yet to consistently

attain, is dependent upon all persons having “goodwill” towards all others. As Kiwanians

we are committed to that as an organization and we should be as individuals as well.

As an attorney, the concept of justice has been my life long concern. It is framed within the

rubric of the “Rule of Law” which is nothing more or less than saying we believe in being

governed by the strictures of laws not by the dictates of a person. When any society strays

from the Rule of Law it embarks on a slippery slope down. As Kiwanians we reject the

Rule of Man and embrace the Rule of Law.

RECRUITING AND RETAINING MEMBERS Barbara Mullins, 2017 – 2018 Utah – Idaho District Governor-Elect

Now we’re headed toward the summer months when many of our clubs are busy with

service projects or money-making projects. As you plan these projects use them as tools to

reactivate Kiwanians or include new members so that they feel they are needed and can

receive the rewards of serving others.

While your clubs are visible to the community during your projects…. Recruit, Recruit and

Recruit.

From our Membership Development Manuel: “There is a greater chance member will value

their membership more if they are drawn to active participation. New members’ first

assigned duties should give them an early “taste of success” which will encourage a new

member to do more.

The Utah District was organized March 24, 1919, at Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City

appointed Alexander Eberhardt to act as governor. The Executive Committee of the

International Board added Idaho to the territory of the district on November 27, 1920.

UTAH – IDAHO DISTRICT

The Utah-Idaho District came into existence as of

December 16 of the same year. By mutual agreement,

ratified by the International Board, the panhandle of Idaho

consisting of 10 counties north of the Salmon River was

added to the Pacific Northwest District in July of 1925.

The Utah-Idaho District’s first convention was in Salt Lake

City on December 16, 1920.

At that session, Herbert Van Damn, Jr. was elected

governor at a convention in his home city. The first club in

the district was Salt Lake City, completed October 10,

1918. The second club was Pocatello, Idaho, on August 5,

1920, and the third club was Boise, Idaho on August 10,

1920.

THE OBJECTS OF KIWANIS

The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were

approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 Convention in

Denver, Colorado. Through the succeeding decades, they have

remained unchanged.

Object 1 - To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather

than to the material values of life.

Object 2 - To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in

all human relationships.

Object 3 - To promote the adoption and the application of

higher social, business, and professional standards.

Object 4 - To develop, by precept and example, a more

intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

Object 5 - To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical

means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service,

and to build better communities.

Object 6 - To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound

public opinion and high idealism which make possible the

increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill

THE KIWANIS MISSION

Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by

making lasting differences in the lives of children.

THE KIWANIS VISION

Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide

– so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that

believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they

need to thrive.

RECRUITING AND RETAINING MEMBERS

(Continued)

Clubs need two types of recruitment: ongoing and planned

campaigns. An ongoing recruitment system will result in new

members throughout the year. Membership campaigns are

planned events to invite a greater number of new members at

one time. Both play a crucial role in achieving your

membership goals.

Clubs should strive to retain members and create a strong

foundation to support growth efforts. Recruitment within a

strong club will be fun and easy-not work-because members

are satisfied and willing to help.”

I would like to repeat what I shared in our Mid-Year Training.

Listen. Don’t be thinking of your response while they’re

talking. Listen intently. Eye to eye contact (by the way you

can’t get this by texting) enhances your communication. So….

have them take off those designer shades, look them straight in

the eye and read what their interests and desires are and share

how Kiwanis can fulfill those interests. Also share what is in

your heart for Kiwanis.

Once again, Thank You for all you do for Kiwanis and the

Children in your communities.

Governor Elect Barbara Mullins

(Children’s Fund > Resources and downloads > Kiwanis-family foundation

resources and downloads)

At the Kiwanis Children's Fund, one of our most important roles is to serve as a

resource for other foundations in the Kiwanis family. We understand that your

foundation has its own needs and values. And when we help you make the most of

your resources, we make a bigger difference for children—together.

So, we’re providing this one-stop resource for downloadable documents that you can

adapt to fit your foundation’s circumstances and meet charity evaluator standards.

Model documents are currently targeted to United States foundations. We welcome

questions and suggestions regarding resources we could include to help Kiwanis-

family foundations outside the U.S.

Kiwanis-family foundation resources and downloads (Continued)

(http://www2.kiwanis.org/childrensfund/impact-and-programs/club-grant-program?#.Ww9W-fZFxbU)

Since 1940, the Kiwanis Children’s Fund has helped Kiwanians extend their

impact—in their own hometowns and around the world. We do this by developing

resources that transform the goodwill and vision of Kiwanians into programs that

serve the children of the world. One of the ways we make it happen is our Club

Grant program.

For the Children’s Fund, a grant does more than fill a funding gap. It’s a

collaboration. Grant funding helps address an unmet need of children through a

project that provides long-term benefits sustained by a club. Clubs interested in

applying for a grant should review the program material carefully to learn about the

Kiwanis Children’s Fund as a potential funding partner.

The Guide to Club Grants

Successfully applying for a club grant requires thoughtful preparation and thorough

attention to the program’s criteria. The keys to preparing a successful grant

application can be found in our Guide to Club Grants. This document walks you

through each step of the grant process—providing instructions, detailed background

information, important dates, helpful tips and links to additional resources.

Eligibility and requirements

Grant-funded projects must have a strong Kiwanis identity—and the Kiwanis club’s

significant hands-on involvement. Projects must also support activities addressing at

least one of the following Children’s Fund cause areas: health, education and youth

leadership development. Complete eligibility requirements are outlined in the Guide

to Club Grants.

Important dates

For June 1 funding decisions:

Submit LOI any time before February 1

If approved, submit full application by April 1

For October 1 funding decisions:

Submit LOI any time before June 1

If approved, submit full application by August 1

For January 1 funding decisions:

Submit LOI any time before September 1

If approved, submit full application by November 1

Additional resources

For additional support throughout the grant-seeking process, applicants can find

links to useful resources in the Guide to Club Grants and on our resource page.

The impact of club grants

The goodwill and vision—and hard work—of Kiwanians are changing the world.

Take a look at some of the previous projects that the Kiwanis Children’s Fund has

supported.

After reading through the Guide to Club Grants and our additional resources, begin

an application in Foundant, our online grantmaking system.

TIPS AND TOOLS FOR INVITING OTHERS

(Kiwanis > The Formula > Strengthen Your Club > Tips and Tools for Inviting Others)

Around the world, Kiwanis clubs make their communities better through more than

6 million hours of service each year. Every member represents 36 hours that

improve lives every year. Think about what could happen if we all shared our

Kiwanis stories—and inspired others to become a part of our movement to improve

the world.

In addition to their hearts and hands, new members can bring new ideas, leadership

and enthusiasm. Here are some tips for inspiring more people to join your Kiwanis

club.

(https://vimeo.com/123321988)

Share your story

You don’t need to know everything about Kiwanis. You just need to start with what

it means to you—and then share that story, connecting on a personal level about

addressing community needs.

After all, 74% of members joined a Kiwanis club because someone invited them—

and for 48% of them, it was a friend or relative.

Your club can also host an open house or special guest day, or invite the community

to take part in your Kiwanis One Day event or other club projects. Need ideas of

who to invite?

• Follow up with people you met while doing a community survey.

• Conduct a roster analysis.

• Make a prospect list with a few simple prompts.

When you’re ready to invite them, we have resources to help you prepare for their

visit.

Talk about your impact

Your club is making a positive impact in the community. Does the community

know? If you don’t tell them, who will?

Regular communication about your activities will lead you to the name recognition

your club deserves—and help attract more members. Posting pictures on your club’s

Facebook page, updating your club's website, using community calendars and

sending press releases to local newspapers all help create awareness.

Keep members for the long run

When new members join, help them feel valued.

• Assign a mentor.

• Provide them with orientation.

• Get them involved early.

• Keep in touch with their ideas and opinions—survey them often.

For members who have become inactive, don’t forget to reMEMBER.

Of course, inviting or retaining members sometimes requires a little flexibility.

Consider creating a club satellite to reach out to a different group of members or

offering corporate memberships.

FLEXIBLE MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS (Kiwanis > The Formula > Strengthen Your Club > Flexible Membership Options}

Things change. That’s why Kiwanis

offers alternative membership

options. Explore some ways to add

members, not paperwork—and to

keep current members engaged.

Corporate membership

Your club can offer corporate memberships to local organizations or companies.

How it works:

• The organization joins the club as a member like an individual ordinarily

would through a representative.

• The company is represented at meetings and events by a designated employee.

• If the designated employee changes jobs, a new employee can be designated to

take his or her place without being charged a new member fee.

For companies interested in corporate social responsibility, this membership is

appealing because of the value of affiliation with a well-respected service

organization. The club wins too: The member represents company interests within

the club and develops a relationship between the company, Kiwanis and other

community groups.

Satellite members

Satellite members are an extension of your club. They typically meet at another time

and often operate independently. They help clubs expand into a new area or

demographic—particularly if the group isn’t large enough yet to become its own

club.

How it works:

• Both the host club and its satellite members establish the guidelines of the

relationship.

• The host club’s board authorizes service and fundraising activities and

maintains financial oversight.

• By retaining the affiliation to the parent club, satellite members remain

focused on their service impact rather than administrative concerns—making

it a great option for busy lifestyles.

• Since they are still part of the host club, satellite members enjoy the benefits

of Kiwanis, including elected positions, attendance at conventions, Kiwanis

magazine and insurance coverage.

BUILDING LEADERSHIP

Cultivate leadership potential in everyone

• Invite new members who are “doers.” Encourage them to give input for club

activities and empower them to take action.

• Monitor accomplishments. Encourage members who took an active role in the

success of a project or fundraiser to continue developing their skills by leading

committees or taking on future roles as a club director or officer.

BUILDING LEADERSHIP (Continued)

• Appreciate jobs well done. Recognizing members and leaders for their hard

work provides a “paycheck” for their service and often encourages future

action.

• Promote mentoring. Encourage members showing interest in a leadership role

to shadow the person currently filling the role.

What to look for

Among other things, great leaders are:

• Skilled listeners. They ask the right questions and listen carefully to the

responses.

• Problem solvers. They know how to determine the right steps to take and

what resources to use to address concerns.

• Passionate advocates. Their commitment to the Kiwanis mission is

contagious.

• Visionaries. They inspire others to follow them even when they cannot see the

end result.

• Change agents. They provide sufficient stability for the organization to

operate while catalyzing transformation.

• Master communicators. They tell stories in a compelling and interesting way.

• Do-ers. They’re action-oriented, focusing on taking initiative and leading.

Prepare leaders for success

People are more willing to commit—and become better leaders—when they know

the expectations of the position. Here are some keys for helping them:

• Establish a club culture. Set expectations for club leaders by setting them for

the club itself—so people know they’ll be supported with training and

education, recognized for their achievements and encouraged to work toward

success.

• Develop a multi-year strategic plan. When the club has goals, people know

how to work toward success.

• Provide orientation and training. Prepare people for their specific positions. A

number of educational resources are available from Kiwanis International:

● Club leader tools ● Club leadership education

● Webinars ● Leadership Guide

CELEBRATE SUCCESS

We have a lot to celebrate. We’ve spent almost 100 years bringing smiles to the

faces of children around the world. We’ve made our communities and our world a

better and brighter place. Even

now, we’re raising millions of

dollars to help eliminate maternal

and neonatal tetanus from the face

of the Earth.

Thanks to Kiwanis-club members,

Kiwanis is a powerful force for

good. Let’s celebrate that

progress—and praise those who are

making it happen!

Recognizing club members’ accomplishments keeps them engaged and satisfied—

and most importantly, motivated to continue improving their clubs and

communities.

That’s why we’re developing a special recognition program associated with The

Formula—to say thank you for making Kiwanis such an important part of your life.

Take a look at our blog to see how members like you are taking celebration-worthy

steps toward making their clubs healthy, strong and relevant.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-

ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging,

only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

- Sir Winston Churchill

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.

If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see.

DIVISION 6 PROJECTS

March was a busy month for Division 6 with two projects with multiple clubs involved. The first project was the March for

Meals on Wheels in Meridian, Idaho. The weather was awful, but the need was great so both Capital City Kiwanis and Gem

State Kiwanis of Boise came out to support the Meals on Wheels. Every person who signed in and walked earned a $5

donation from Food Service of America to the Metro Meals on Wheels organization. We all got to use our gloves, hats and

scarves in a attempt to stay warm before the walk. Over 750 people showed up for the on Saint Patricks Day to earn a

donation for the Metro Meals on Wheels. Since we all got cookies at the end, it was hard to complain about the weather.

On March 24th, 2018 Division 6 had a division wide project on Camel's Back Park in Boise. This park was adopted by

Division 6 when Governor Hunter was Lt Governor for Division 6 and we have continued the sponsorship over the

intervening years. Luckily the weather cooperated and was cool and windy but not rainy. We had Key Clubs from Emmett

High School, Meridian Medical Arts High School and Capital High School participate along with Kiwanis members for

Meridian Kiwanis, Gem State Kiwanis and Capital City Kiwanis. Altogether we had 54 participants moving mulch, spreading

mulch, spreading sand and fixing the volleyball pit. When we done the park looked like it was ready for another busy

summer. This park is one the most utilized in Boise, and while we were working we got to see mountain bikers, track teams,

road cyclists and dog lovers come and enjoy the park. Having so many helpers from the Key Clubs come on

the first day of Spring Break really made this an enjoyable project.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

TOOELE CLUBS SPONSORSHIP OF

BONNEVILLE BOT ROBOTICS CLUB

The Bonneville Bot robotics club brought the robot that they made for the national

competition held at the Maverick Center in West Valley City in March to the Tooele

Club meeting on April 24th.

There are others on the team that could not make our meeting. The Tooele Club

sponsors these young people and keeps them in business. The Robotics team

members come from the three high schools in the Tooele area.

This is their own club and not part of the school system. They do this all on their

own and do their own fundraising to compete. These fine young people have help

from local volunteer mentors.

Three of the mentors have been from the Tooele Kiwanis Club.

NAMPA CLUB

The Canyon County Sheriff, Kieran Donahue, spoke to the Kiwanis Club of Nampa

on April 19th. The Sheriff discussed a number of topics and took questions from the

members. Discussed was the need for a new, larger jail in Canyon County along with

funding ideas. Also discussed was inmate classification and how that effects who is

booked into jail as well as those that remain out of jail during pre-trial. Sheriff

Donahue also discussed the cost of housing state prisoners as well as housing, and

transporting, Canyon County inmates in other counties as a result of insufficient

space. Other topics included drugs in the valley and that our area is considered 1 of

26 high traffic/inflow areas in the country by Federal designation.

The Kiwanis Club of Nampa hosted speakers from the Nampa Schools Foundation

on April 26th at the weekly luncheon. Discussed were ways that businesses can

donate to the foundation at nearly every level and leverage their donation through a

$2MM state matching fund. Also discussed were potential tax benefits of such

donations. The speakers stated that 1400 Nampa students took college level classes

in 2017-2018. Also, 64% of Boise State University graduates stay in the Treasure

Valley. The Nampa Schools Foundation provides scholarships to students as well as

classroom teachers for projects and necessary supplies.

It’s never too early to consider ways to recognize club leaders and notable members.

Consider recognizing an individual with a George F. Hixson or Walter Zeller

Fellowship gift to the Children’s Fund.

KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND IMPACT

We help make remarkable things happen for kids and communities around the

world.

Kids need Kiwanis, and the Kiwanis Children's Fund helps you reach them—

amplifying your impact in communities around the world. We are a trusted partner,

staffed by experts. We know how to turn money into something much more

meaningful.

We provide grants for disaster relief, Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs, club

and district service projects, and the elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus as

well as iodine deficiency disorders.

Disaster Relief

We make sure that when disaster strikes, the

Kiwanis family responds.

Our simple application process makes it easy

for clubs or districts to get disaster relief

funding promptly. While others are forced to

wait for funding and aid, Kiwanis clubs and

districts can hit the ground running. They are

often part of the community that has been

struck—and better able to assess the most urgent needs of children and families

affected.

Service Leadership Programs

We're helping build a stronger generation

of leaders and service volunteers.

Since 2012, more than 40% of our grants

have gone directly to support Kiwanis

family programs such as Terrific Kids,

Bringing Up Grades, Key Leader, Circle

K International Leadership Academy,

Key Club Breakthrough and Aktion Club Training and Leadership

Conference. We also provide scholarships and project funding to CKI

and Key Clubs, which amplify our service impact upon the world.

Club and district service projects

We help clubs and districts fulfill the unmet

needs of children in their communities.

Many communities struggle to meet all the

needs of children. We provide grants for

Kiwanis-led service projects that focus on

health, education and youth leadership

development.

The Eliminate Project

We are eliminating a painful, preventable

disease that kills mothers and babies around

the world.

In 2010, we teamed up with UNICEF to

eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus

(MNT) from the face of the Earth. Once we

eliminate MNT in the remaining countries,

where thousands of babies still die each year, we will sustain our efforts so that it

never returns.

Iodine Deficiency Disorders

We saw a mental health problem that could

be cured, so we did it.

Kiwanis teamed up with UNICEF in 1994 to

address the leading preventable cause of

mental disabilities—iodine deficiency. To

date we've helped raise over US$100 million

so that kids in developing countries can grow

up free of mental retardation. We continue to sustain these efforts worldwide today.

KIWANIS BRAND CAMPAIGN (http://www.kiwanis.org/clubs/member-resources/kiwanis-brand-campaign)

"Kids Need Kiwanis" is Kiwanis International's brand campaign. The goal of the

campaign is to make it clear that Kiwanis serves children and that we have fun

together. Use the TV, radio, print, billboard and digital materials in your club or

district social media, your website, local digital media or as traditional advertising or

public service announcements (PSA). These materials are meant to be fun—and

sometimes funny—to grab attention and show that while Kiwanis takes our work

seriously, we don't take ourselves seriously. We have fun. We laugh. We meet kids

needs, whatever and wherever they are.

Kiwanis brand book

The Kiwanis brand reflects our organization’s traditions and its time-tested mission.

At the same time, it’s the latest statement of who we are. The Kiwanis “look”—

including logo, colors and typefaces—is an important part of our brand. How we

talk about Kiwanis matters just as much.

The Kiwanis brand book includes information about:

• Fonts: new and classic options

• Colors: featuring a brighter Kiwanis gold

• Messaging: How to talk or write about Kiwanis

• Production: Tips on working with local vendors
