A Message from your President
This month, and next, I shall speak to you about the plans of our
incoming Governor. Our Governor-Elect, Dr. Celia Earle, has set her
goals for the 2015-2016 year. Among other things, she wishes to get
back to the basics of Kiwanis by living the six objects of Kiwanis.
These permanent objects are: (1) To give primacy to the human and
spiritual rather than to the material values of life; (2) To encourage the
daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships; (3) To
promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and
professional standards; (4) To develop, by precept and example, a more
intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship; (5) To provide,
through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships,
to render altruistic service, and to build better communities; and (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. I invite each of you to think about
these objects and what they mean for us as individuals and as
Kiwanians. I hope all of you are having a great summer! …………..President Todd Brister
Do good, feel good………………
Find new ways to get to know
people in our community.
Connect with others—and get
involved in projects that change
lives. Kiwanis is all about
making friends—and making an
impact—in our local community
Results….. Why do we send delegates to conventions? Just last week at the
Kiwanis International Convention, 9 amendments were presented with the results
being that 6 were approved and 3 defeated. See the details at: www.kiwanis.org. The
one that will most affect all of us is that international dues will be going up by $10 per
year, beginning Oct. 1, 2015. If we are not represented we do not get to vote.
Kiwanis College
The first female to serve on the
Kiwanis International Board was
Lisa McCoy of the Kiwanis Club
of Jacksonville, Texas. She was
elected to the board at the 86th
Kiwanis International Convention
in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2001. Next
year, Sue Petrisin, from Michigan,
will be the first female president of
Kiwanis International.
What is Kiwanis………………?
“Kiwanis is a global organization
of volunteers dedicated to
improving the world one child
and one community at a time”

So, you've come to the right place,
you’re in the right club, at the
right time. Don’t let the summer
pass without inviting someone to
join us. A great opportunity to
share the feeling as we celebrate
Independence Day this month.

The Formula's recognition program honors people in four
categories. The first two are specific about when and how
individuals and clubs will be recognized.
1. The Gift of Kiwanis Award [For member-sponsors]:
On average, a Kiwanian gives 36 hours of service to the
community each year. Give the gift of service to
children by sponsoring a new member—and get
recognition for your effort.
2. Impact Circle [For clubs]: A thriving Kiwanis club is
a collaborative achievement. And stronger Kiwanis
clubs with an increased number of members can make a
bigger difference in their communities.
There’s no paperwork to fill out (except our monthly reports)
and I’m sure we will be seeing several of these accomplishments
in our club.
RECOGNIZING Exceptional Kiwanians
THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE!
