MY FELLOW KIWANIANS,
In my opinion I am writing to the greatest Kiwanians in all of Kiwanis. I am giving all of you an invitation to
the 99th annual convention in Louisville, Kentucky. The Marriott is a new renovated facility with all the
amenities. Everything is on one floor; TV monitors are available at just about every turn to make finding
workshops easier than in the past.

GOVERNOR’S MAY MESSAGE Governor Leigh Chagnon
Energize the Dream… Small Hand+ Big Dreams = Bright Futures!
# Kids Need Kiwanis
Governor-Elect Dale has been working very hard to have workshops
that offer some great new ideas. He is bringing in folks from outside
Kiwanis with a fresh look on how to accomplish the goal of new club
growth and strengthening throughout the district. From what I
understand they will interest first time attendees as well Kiwanians of
many years. I am personally inviting as many as possible of all our new
Kiwanians to attend and learn more and get ideas to take back to our
local clubs. I strongly encourage each club do their best to have at
least two members attend. That way your club won’t miss any of the
workshops.
Get a jump on next year presidents and secretaries with CLE. This year
at convention the CLE will be divided again like we did at Mid-Winter.
with a class just for presidents and a different one for secretaries as
well as anybody interested in learning all the new ways the reports are
being done. I am also inviting secretaries that have been in their
positions for a while to see the new reporting methods that have
changed since last year.

FROM THE EDITOR Don Ritter
Allow me to add my two cents to the comments of others. Reading some descriptions of what will be offered at the convention, I feel we can be absolutely certain that it will be a most worthwhile experience for all who attend. I certainly urge you to make your plans to be in attendance August 11, 12, and 13 for an extraordinary Kiwanis KT Convention.
On another subject, your help in providing articles and pictures has been and continues to be greatly appreciated. Without you, there will be no KT Notes. Understanding how busy each of you are I, nonetheless, want to remind you of how your contributions can help us improve your newsletter.
First, please remember to type your articles using MS Word. We occasionally receive copies of club bulletins and newspapers that are sometimes technologically impossible to copy. I need to tell you that we are not supposed to use articles from newspapers and other publications because of copyright laws. Therefore, when we receive newspaper, television, radio, and other similar articles, we cannot print them.
Another way you can help us prepare the KT Notes is to write those articles. Strange as that statement is, I need to explain why I say that. We often receive pictures with no accompanying articles or other explanations. Additionally, we often receive very limited and brief narratives typed in an email. We frequently cannot use email messages because they lack adequate information. It is most helpful if your article is written using MS Word attaching it to your email. That may be why your articles do not appear in the KT Notes. We often receive articles that report club meetings, reports intended for the Kiwanians in that club, and that’s another reason why they may not be printed. Remember, one of the important criteria for printing articles in the KT Notes is that they are to be useful for Kiwanians as reports of what is being done by our clubs and a division that fulfills the Kiwanis mission of serving children and community
It is important to remember that an article hastily written and inadequately edited, at best slows the process of compiling the KT Notes. Your editor tries to assist you with editorial corrections, but in submitting an article hastily and not carefully written and not polished may result in that article not being printed due to the lack of time your editor has to make those corrections.
Thank you for understanding and for doing all you can do to make your KT Notes possible and better. We want to print your articles. Our intent is always to serve you and other Kiwanians in the KT Kiwanis District.
I want to thank every club and club member that has given to Linda’s service project. There will be a
time set aside for all of us to put these bags of teacher supplies together for you to take back to your
local schools.
In closing I want to thank all of you for all you have done during this year. Come enjoy the learning
opportunities and service. You will have opportunities to have great fellowship and meet new friends,
creating friendships that could last a life time. I would love to celebrate the end of this phenomenal
year with each one of you. Linda and I will never forget all the folks we have met. YOU ALL ARE THE
GREATEST!

JUST FOR LAUGHS
A little boy was sitting on the curb with a gallon of turpentine, shaking it up and watching all the bubbles. A while later, a priest came along and asked the little boy what he had. The little boy replied, “This is the most powerful liquid in the world, it’s called turpentine.” The Priest said, “No, the most powerful liquid in the world is Holy Water. If you take some of this Holy Water and rub it on a pregnant woman's belly, she'll pass a healthy baby.” The little boy replied, “You take some of this turpentine and rub it on a cat's bottom, and he'll pass a Harley Davidson.”

KI Trustee Barbara Thompson was also in attendance as an observer and supporter. Governor-Elect Dale’s theme for 2017-2018 is “A Future Begins Today, Not Tomorrow.”
P.R. Cook, Past Governor On April 21, 22 and 23 a group of past Kentucky-Tennessee Kiwanis governors converged on Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia where Past Governor P.R.

TELLICO VILLAGER WINS GOVERNOR’S AWARD Ray Scott, Tellico Village Kiwanis
Fred Kyle of Tellico Village won the prestigious Governor’s Volunteer Star award from Loudon County at an award recognition ceremony held February 12, 2017. “I didn’t even know I was up for the award until I was told I won,” said Fred. Fred was honored for his volunteer work at STAR therapeutic riding academy on behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village. Fred is a Horse Leader and volunteers at STAR about five hours a week. Fred is also a cofounder of “Horses for Hero’s” at STAR being a distinguished war veteran himself, having served two deployments to Vietnam. “I just want to help the disabled veterans who gave so much for our country,” said Fred. “The Kiwanis Club also sponsors a horse named Norman at STAR,” said Fred. “We are very proud of Fred Kyle and his much deserved Governor’s award,” said Phil Rothrock President of the Kiwanis Club of Tellico Village.
AN EASTER EGG HUNT IN BEREA Bereans took part recently in the 80th Kiwanis club Easter egg hunt. After eighty years, the club decided
to try something new this year. They had a special hunt just for kids with different needs. They realized last
year, they needed a change. “Trying to get them in with the other kids was a little bit of a problem working
that out, so we decided this year we would do a special needs section for all of our special needs kids so
they would have the opportunity to hunt for eggs the same as the other children,” said David Ollinger, a
past president of the club. This is one way the Berea Kiwanis club focuses on service to children and the
community.
HELPING HANDS FOR DISASTER RELIEF Tom Bonny, Irvine-Ravenna Kiwanis
Members of the Kiwanis Club of Irvine-Ravenna recently received a check from members of the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Sterling to be used for disaster relief following the March 1st storms in Estill County. Mt. Sterling has always been one of the strongest clubs in the Kentucky-Tennessee Kiwanis District and the Irvine-Ravenna Club appreciates their support. The Irvine-Ravenna Club is using this contribution as well as a contribution of their own for disaster relief. The Irvine-Ravenna club is working with the Helping Hands Outreach program to make sure that the funds are used in a manner that will be most useful to the relief efforts.

WINCHESTER KIWANIS CLUB BUG (BRINGING UP GRADES) PROGRAM
Russ Morrison, Winchester Kiwanis You know its springtime when the trees and flowers bloom, and the when the bugs return. A few Kiwanis Club members were visiting elementary schools recently and found the schools were running over with BUGs. They had the regular BUGs and BUGs that could read well. They even had Super BUGs (all A's for the third grading period). They even helped their fellow BUG friends. We knew spring was actually in the area, when the Easter Bunny showed up at Shearer Elementary School. If you are wondering about the BUGs I mentioned earlier, they refer to the different types of awards presented by the Winchester Kiwanis Club to third grade students for improving their skills and for bringing up grades this term in all of the Clark County Elementary Schools. At this point with six weeks left for the students to improve their skills on their way to the fourth grade, approximately 93% of the 403 third graders have improved, maintained or brought up a grade since the first grading period. Their goal now is for all of their classmates to get a BUG award to be rewarded with a yearend cupcake and ice cream social. The BUGs in the system are all working for the Distinguished School distinction. The future for Clark County students and this community is exciting to say the least.

A COMMUNITY-WIDE EVENT IN FRANKLIN, KENTUCKY
On April 9 the Kiwanis Club of Franklin-Simpson sponsored their annual Easter egg hunt on the court house lawn. Children enjoyed the appearance of the Easter Bunny and were anxious to begin the hunt for their share of 5,000 eggs that were hidden by volunteers. Club president Felicia Bland admitted that "It's a lot of work, but it's because when you look at these faces and you see the kids when they win something even if it's the smallest thing, that makes it all worthwhile." There were special prizes with some of the eggs, and children who found those eggs could claim those prizes. There were even prizes for the some of the adults accompanying the children. The prizes included: restaurant coupons, bikes, Girl Scout cookies, large
pizzas from Pizza Hut, a cook book, and donations from the hardware store, trophy shop and sporting goods place. There were many volunteers who helped with other things in addition to putting out the eggs. Among other things, they passed out prizes and took charge of crowd control. They included people from the Kiwanis Club, Northside Baptist Church, Franklin Masonic Lodge, and the Salvation Army. President Bland made sure that she expressed appreciation to all of the participants, the volunteers and those who donated prizes. It was definitely a community event.

WILLIAMSTOWN KIWANIS CELEBRATE YOUTH, HONOR VETERANS AND EMPOWER PEOPLE CHALLENGED BY A DISABILITY
Correy Eimer, Kiwanis Club of Williamstown, Kentucky
The Williamstown Kiwanis certainly kept busy during late April and early May. In a span of only a week, they took on three separate community service projects. On April 26th, in partnership with Williamstown Baptist Church (as host), they provided lunch for twenty of the top academic seniors from Grant County and Williamstown High Schools. Students shared their future plans and were given words of advice and encouragement. Also, during the first week of May, the club fulfilled their commitment to honor the service of recently deceased United States Veterans by putting up flags for funeral processions at the Kentucky
Veterans Cemetery North, in Williamstown. Finally, the Williamstown Aktion Club partied with clients of NorthKey Community Care during their inaugural "Super Hero Day" on May 3rd. NorthKey Community Care is Northern Kentucky's regional comprehensive care organization that serves people with intellectual, mental and emotional disabilities. A game of 'super hero trivia' was played, prizes were awarded and there was, of course, plenty to eat!
BOONE COUNTY SPONORS BENEFIT
Steve Sturgil, President Boone County
The Kiwanis Club of Boone County recently sponsored an event at the Holiday Inn Cincinnati Airport called a “Sidways” Wine Tasting benefit. There were 50 people in attendance and there were several contributors who could not be present. Former president of Covington/Kenton County Kiwanis, Jordan Jang provided live music. Kiwanian Diug Ziegler served as auctioneer for the live and silent auction. President Steve Sturgil gave an interactive slide presentation through which he shared information and showed videos of the wineries of the Central Coast AVA Region of California. The funds raised were used to support Rob’s Kids, Scarf It Up, and Mentoring Plus.

Edye Bryant, Lexington Kiwanis The first annual Kiwanis Club of Lexington Kasino Night took place April 22nd. The event was held at Castle Post (aka The Castle near Versailles). Attendees enjoyed a silent auction, hors doeuvres, and an exciting evening of Blackjack, Roulette, Texas Hold'em, and Dice. Nearly 100 people were in attendance including some from Kiwanis Partners, Harrison Elementary School, and UK Shoulder To Shoulder. Plans are already being made for Kiwanis Kasino Night 2018.
The Kiwanis Club of Lexington held its April 25th meeting at Harrison Elementary School where Lexington Kiwanians have been volunteering for
nearly 23 years. President John Williams presented Harrison Principal Tammie Frankes a check for $1,000 to assist with the school's summer reading program for kindergarten through second grade and a two week summer school for third through fifth grades.
