Message From The Lt. Governor

Laird Smith, Lt. Governor

Fellow Kiwanians,

We are embarking on a new Kiwanian year, October 1, 2017 to September 30,

2018.

It is exciting to be a Kiwanian at this time… We have many new Officers

and Board of Directors as well as new Members to provide energy and

enthusiasm to our Clubs in Division 44. Installations and Club

Appreciation Meetings went well… It was fun and exciting to listen to all

the past achievements of the year by the Clubs and inspirational messages

by incoming Presidents.

Our work has just begun for the new year. The theme throughout Kiwanis

on International, District, Divisional and Club levels for 2017-2018 will be

the active recruitment of new members to Kiwanis. Our lifeblood depends

on your ability to recruit and retain new members. It is as simple as “Just

Asking”… A great question to ask someone is “Are you a Kiwanian yet?”

This last year we worked on the “I-Plan”. The plan was very effective in

many clubs and reviewed at Board meetings. This year it has been renamed

“Strategic Plan”… We need all Clubs reviewing their existing plans and

updating as necessary. The Strategic Plan gives focus, clarity and helps

Clubs assess priorities.

As the year progresses, I encourage all of you to participate in as many

activities as you can from committee and project work, to Board meetings to

Club Leadership. The real beneficiaries are the children and your

communities. Take in the Interclubs, visit Division Council Meetings

(DCM’s), attend the Mid-Year & Governor’s Visit Meetings in Sacramento…

if fact, splurge and fly to the Big Island in Hawaii in August for the District

Meeting!

Let’s have a great year ahead!

Laird Smith, Lt Governor CNH Division 44

Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp

Judee, on behalf of the Youth Services Committee, presented a check for $200 to Terry of the Montessori School. We

were fortunate to have two young students from the school tell us thank you, and to explain what the funds will be

used for. Some of the items mentioned: Basketball Hoops, a Four Squares Project, Balls, and Flag Equipment. We

were all delighted to hear the boys and see how excited they were about their project.

Jackie was pleased to present a check to our speaker today, Sarah Thompson. The funds were earmarked for her refugee

project. She was delighted, and pleased with our support of her mission: Sacramento Kindness.

K-Kids

Mary is the President-Elect of the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills, and has managed the K-Kids for three years.

She and her husband enjoy Cooking, Gardening and Traveling. The K-Kids have 35 3rd through 5th Graders in at

Carlin C. Coppin Elementary School in Lincoln. The students are taught Leadership Skills (Planning Fundraisers,

Speaking, Community Service Projects), Kindness and Respect.

Here are some of their student projects:

• A Kindness Tree in the cafeteria, with Student Acts of Kindness written on its Leaves.

• School Yard Cleaning, Weeding, Paint Flag on the Backboard.

• Sandwiches for the Homeless.

• Fleece Blankets for Shelters.

• Thanksgiving Baskets (100).

• SPCA Kitten Toys.

• Teacher Appreciation Breakfast.

• Write Letters asking for Donations.

• Safety Awareness Day with the Police and Fire Departments.

• Trauma Dolls.

The children chosen for this club must give 3 Service Hours per Month, pay $3.00 Annual Dues, be able to Write,

have a “C” Grade Average and have Parent’s Consent. If they Misbehave 3 Times, they are out. They

design and plan their own fundraisers and have learned to ask the community members for donations.

These students speak over the school intercom about Acts of Kindness seen of others, and will earn a T-Shirt for

attending a certain number of meetings and events. They have a Board with a President, Treasurer, Sergeant-at-

Arms, and a Secretary, who run the meetings. The Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills budgeted $2,000 for this club to

support their projects. They bring in Key Club students to speak to them about what is going on in the high school.

The K-Kids meet on the First and Third Tuesdays, from 2:45- 3:45 PM and the Board meets at 7:30 AM twice a

month. Mary encouraged our club to consider sponsoring a K-Kids Club, as it is very rewarding, and

teaches elementary aged children leadership skills through service to their community. In big and small ways, they

are changing the world around them. But the most significant changes happen in the kids themselves.

R’s

El Presidente

El Presidente, Bruce Lagomarsino shared some thoughts as to what he would like to see happen during his reign.

He focused on a number of "R's":

• Retain: Retain the members we have with Good Programs and Camaraderie.

• Recruit: Invite friends to Share Lunch, Projects and the Good that Kiwanis does.

• Respond: Respond to Community Needs. Also to District and International considerations.

• React to Events around us.

• Respect for Club Members.

• Responsible for Actions.

• Relevant Programs.

Bruce shared that he had several techniques to control his stuttering such as speaking in a southern accent, snapping

his fingers and rocking side to side. Bruce taught for 30 years and threatened to move us closer to the lectern if we

misbehaved. Let's all support Bruce in the coming year!

this term.

Community Service

Barbara and Rich delivered goods to the Mather Veterans Village food bank

YCPO: Rich went on a shopping spree with Julie Oliver, the nutrition coordinator at Wellspring. The remodeling of

their facility has just been completed and many items were in need of an upgrade or replacement. Sac Suburban spent

$860 on these purchases which will enable Wellspring to continue to prepare breakfast for over 200 women and

children on a daily basis. In gratitude for the club’s generosity, both Crisis Nursery and Wellspring would love to

provide our club with a tour of their respective facilities. Rich will follow up with them as to the best time to visit and

circulate a sign-up sheet.

Annual Golf Tournament

On a Chamber of Commerce type of day, Kiwanians gathered at Antelope Greens Golf Course and had the annual

club golf tournament. For the second year in a row, Mike Brownell and Jon Kaempfer tied for the Lowest

Score. In a scorecard playoff, Mike Won and Jon finished with the Low Net. Rich Kocher had the Low

Calloway; Chris Creelman had the Long Drive and Jim Wunschel the Least Putts. The innumerable planes

with fire retardant flying above us reminded how thankful we were.

Installation of Officers and Board Members

Installation Dinner for Officers and Board Members, a NIGHT meeting at Smith Flat House, Wednesday October 4,

2017.

A Festive Affair indeed!! Room was packed to capacity, hosted by Lanny Langston and Jean Meyer. The room

decorations and flags brought a wave of patriotic pride. Thank you to Meliisa Cowan for donating the beautiful

arranged flower centerpieces. The singer from Imagination Theater singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" was

absolutely fantastic and brought a tear to my eye. The dinner fare was outstanding; thank you to the Chef and Old

Town Grill staff, Lorraine and the flawless serving crew. Thank you to all the members that dressed in patriotic

colors (especially Charlie Wiglesworth in his pants attire).

Observing and participating in that meaningful Placerville Club camaraderie and "Sense of Family" is a feeling that

can't be surpassed. It was a grand and memorable night to all that attended.

Many thanx to Laird Smith, Lt. Governor and his wife Shari, sharing this occasion with us.

It was great to see and meet a founding member of the Placerville Club: President, Lt. Governor, and Governor Stu

Rosen and his wife.

Boy Scout Troop 633

“Be Prepared” is the motto of the Boy Scouts of America. The highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America is Eagle

Scout. One of the requirements of earning the Eagle Scout rank is completing an Eagle Scout Service Project. The

Eagle Scout Service Project is the opportunity for a Boy Scout to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a

project for the benefit of his community.

Life Scout Jack Pelletier was thinking about his Eagle Scout Service Project and thought about a kit

for a household to be used during a power loss, or perhaps a local disaster. This was before the tragedies being

reported by hurricanes. But what to put in the kits? He consulted the Federal Emergency Management Agency and

came up with a list of needed items for such a 72 hour Emergency Survival Kit.

The list included Food, Water Packets, Hand Crank Flashlight / Radio, Toilet Paper, Whistle, First Aid Kit, and more.

Sponsors (with the names on the side of the kits) helped to underwrite the cost. Our Kiwanis Foundation supported

this Eagle Service Project. Boy Scout Troop 633 is chartered to the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Murieta Foundation.

Here is how the kits were distributed to selected home owners in Rancho Murieta. A list of lot numbers were obtained

from the Rancho Murieta Association. The numbers were transcribed on slips of paper and a drawing took place on

Saturday, September 16th. After the drawing, the kits were delivered to the homes selected.
