THETHETHE KIWANISCOPEKIWANISCOPEKIWANISCOPE

Taking Care of Yourself

so that you can be there to serve oth-

ers (with a smile)!

HAPPY NEW YEAR my fellow Kiwani-

ans! Thank you to each and every one

of you who have agreed to come

along with me on the wild ride we

shall call 2014-2015. I recently

a4ended my employer’s annual

health and wellness fair and read an

inspiring ar�cle on “Self-Love”, the act

of taking care of ourselves so that we

can be4er care for others. This week

I would like to share that message

with you as we take on new roles and

challenges together and look forward

to star�ng our 52nd

year as a club and

celebrate the 100th

year of Kiwanis

Interna�onal.

Should you “look out for

number one”? Are you part of the

“me” genera)on? Our society sends

out mixed messages about self-love.

Looked at one way, caring for

“number one” and “me” is labeled

“selfish.” Taking care of yourself

seems to fly in the face childhood les-

sons of modesty and humility. But

taking care of yourself and holding

yourself in high esteem can allow you

to give much more freely of yourself to

others.

CARING FOR YOU ~ Self-love

is about you. You take care of yourself

and your body. You get enough rest

and quiet )me to be able to keep

things in perspec)ve. You are able to

be asser)ve and to set limits because

you care about yourself and you don’t

want to disappoint others. You are

secure in yourself

CARING FOR OTHERS ~ Self-

love includes others. When you care

about yourself, you are able to reach

out and share with others. This is turn

builds self-esteem and gives you a

sense of purpose in life.

MAKING LIVES BETTER ~ Self

-love enhances the people around you.

When you value and respect yourself,

you are also able to value and respect

others. People who love themselves

are tolerant of others and don’t feel

the need to dominate or put others

down. People who have a difficult )me

loving themselves, however, usually

find pleasure only being at one end of

the dominance scale or the other.

THE SELF-LOVE ATTRACTION

~ Self-love brings people to you. Every-

one likes to be around people who

care about themselves because people

with high self-esteem are able to care

about others. Far from being selfish,

people who have self-love are able to

make their own lives, and the lives of

others, healthy and sa)sfying.

Ray Jan Presented the club with the Banner

Patch she received from KI, for our sponsorship

Grace Chan very efficiently sold the “Split the

Opportunity Drawings and the 90/10rule Opportunity Drawings and the 90/10rule Opportunity Drawings and the 90/10rule Opportunity Drawings and the 90/10rule What is the 90/10 rule? California Penal Code sec�on 320.5, subdivision (b)(4)(A) states that 90 percent of the

gross receipts generated by the sale of raffle )ckets for any given draw are to be used by the eligible organiza)on

for charitable purposes.

The frequently asked ques�ons (FAQ) page of the Office of the A4orney General goes on to explain that The

90/10 rule applies to 50/50 raffles, in which 50 percent of )cket sale revenue is awarded as the prize and 50 per-

cent of the revenue is retained by the organiza)on conduc)ng the raffle. 50/50 drawings are illegal because 90

percent of the gross )cket-sale revenue is not used for charitable purposes.

Since our club members are good ci�zens and many of our speakers and guests are law enforcement and civil

servant professionals, the last thing we would want to do is knowingly break the law. At the same �me, our

weekly split the pot drawing adds to our fellowship and helps to support our administra�ve account to con�nue

to do the good deals we do in our community.

Therefore we are going to “change-up” our weekly drawings for 2014-2015!

• We will be con,nuing to sell opportunity ,ckets at the rate of 4 ,ckets for $3.

• One ,cket will be pulled during our general mee,ngs for the “opportunity” to pull a marble from the can.

Unpicked ,ckets will be discarded weekly.

• The can will contain 11 white and one blue marble.

• The week 1 moneybag will contain 100 Kiwanis Dollars ($10) regardless of how many ,ckets are sold that

week.

• 10% of money raised in weeks 2 un,l the blue marble is pulled will be added to the “money bag” contents.

• If the ,cket holder pulls a while marble, they will win a consola,on prize. The contents of the “money

bag” will move forward to the next general mee,ng.

• If they pull the blue marble, they will win the contents of the “money bag”. The contents of the “money

bag” will return to 100 Kiwanis dollars at the next general mee,ng.

• This means we are guaranteed at least 3 cash winners a year with many more possible throughout the

year while being good, law abiding ci,zens.

Story by David Malkin

Our speaker this week was Seema Sueko,

Associate Ar�s�c Director, of the historic

Pasadena Playhouse. The Pasadena Play-

house has a rich and vibrant history da�ng

back to 1917 when an i�nerant ac�ng

troupe by the name of the Gilmor Brown

Players se4led in Pasadena - at the �me a

sleepy li4le town of farmers and wealthy

vaca�oners. The town fell in love with the

Players and before they had spent ten

years here, locals donated the money to

move the company out of the derelict old

burlesque house they had been ren�ng and into the newly constructed Pasadena Playhouse in 1924,

originally known as the Pasadena Community Playhouse. At the �me, The Playhouse was the largest

and most technically advanced venue on this side of the Mississippi. Its community theatre begin-

nings and the tremendous amount of local support led George Bernard Shaw to dub Pasadena “the

Athens of the West,” likening the enterprise to the ancient Fes�val Dionysia.

AQer having produced the en�re canon of

Shakespeare for the first �me in America,

California legislature voted to dedicate the

Playhouse as official State Theatre in 1937.

During this �me, the theatre included a Col-

lege of Theatre Arts (known as “The Star Fac-

tory”), which produced such notables as

Gene Hackman, Dus�n Hoffman, Raymond

Burr and Sally Struthers. The theatre itself

drew talent from across the country, premi-

ering hundreds of new plays by writers like

Tennessee Williams, Eugene O’Neill, Noel

Coward and many more.

Brown, changes in Actors Equity Associa�on laws and the opening of drama departments in many

schools and universi�es across the country, the theatre went bankrupt and closed its doors in 1969.

During this dark period in Playhouse history, The Pasadena Playhouse Alumni & Associates con�nued

their ac�vi�es in honor of the ins�tu�on, a handful of them working �relessly for several years to

keep the building from the wrecking ball.

Thanks to a monumental partnership between the Pasadena government, local businesses and our

dedicated patrons and philanthropists, the theater reopened its doors in 1985. In recent years, The

Playhouse has become instrumental in launching new works and landmark revivals for the American

Theatre, while displaying a commitment to cultural and theatrical diversity, which is reflected in sea-

sons featuring Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning plays and musicals.

The Theatrical Diversity Project was organized in 2005 to support The Pasadena Playhouse’s vision to

build a legacy of ar�s�c and theatrical diversity.

Embracing diversity at the Pasadena Playhouse goes beyond promo�ng tolerance; it is about explor-

ing and celebra�ng the human experience shared by people of all colors, genders, ages, ethnici�es,

sexual orienta�ons, learning and physical abili�es, and socioeconomic posi�ons. This ini�a�ve:

Gives priority to eclec�c and dynamic produc�ons featuring a diverse array of ar�sts, actors, and play-

wrights. Our produc�ons reflect the diverse richness that defines our community, while never for-

geXng that primary goal of theater: to entertain.

Empowers and enriches young people of diverse ethnici�es from disenfranchised communi�es

through free student performances and arts educa�on programs; and

Cul�vates writers, actors, directors and designers of all backgrounds through new play development,

main stage produc�ons and outreach programs.

The Pasadena Playhouse is also commi4ed to providing underserved and underrepresented youth the

opportunity to experience world-class theater. At every main stage performance, they have 30 free

seats earmarked for Title I students, community organiza�ons serving youth and alterna�ve learning

ins�tu�ons who might not otherwise have the means to a4end a live performance event.

Key Club Region 13 Training Conference

By Aus�n Ly

D35W ETC

Workshops, spirit ba4le and Love was spread around during the annual Region 13 Training confer-

ence. It made me extremely happy whenever I saw a member partake in one of the spirit ba4les or

even ask ques�ons during a workshop, because of that the 2014 RTC quickly became my favorite train-

ing conference. I was able to eat good food that was provided by the food trucks and watch spirit

ba4les at the same �me! It was undoubtly one of the funniest and craziest moments. I can't wait un�l

the next year's region training conference!

On Thursday, September 25 Wilson Key Club held the first mee�ng of this school

Year. Dave Wallach and Mahmood Bashir joined them for the mee�ng. The following week the Key

Club had a very successful Club Rush, and they had almost a hundred or more students sign up. They

all came to the mee�ng where President Crystal Espinosa assisted by her cabinet informed the

a4endees about Key Club, what it stands for, and what to expect when one joins. Also present at the

mee�ng was their new Faculty Advisor Ms. Jessica Delavigne, a former Key Club member herself. We

presented her with our club's 50 year anniversary pin. At the end of the mee�ng all in a4endance

were treated to Popsicles, compliments of Kiwanis Club of Hacienda Heights.

Wilson KIWIN’S Club First Meeting


On Wednesday, September 24, Wilson KIWIN'S hosted their first mee�ng of the year. They had a suc-

cessful Club Rush, and had over 100 students signed up showing interest in joining the club. Co Presi-

dents Lili Labaco and Josephine Tjandra accompanied with their complete cabinet informed all in

a4endance what KIWIN'S is, and what they do. Videos on Fall Rally and DCON were shown to a4ract

new members. From the looks of it, it seems this club

will increase its membership in great numbers this year.

Like any other organiza�on the more members they

have the be4er service they can provide to their school

and their community. The KIWIN'S look excited for a

very successful year, and we cant wait to see them in

ac�on. At the end of the mee�ng, all in a4endance were

treated to Popsicles. It was a hot aQernoon, and it ap-

peared Popsicles were just what the doctor ordered.

On Thursday September 25, Kathy Young, Mahmood Bashir, and

Dave Wallach a4ended the Builders Club mee�ng at Orange Grove

Middle School. It was a short, fun, and a very efficient mee�ng. The

members discussed various fundraising opportuni�es, and voted on

which cause to support. They also planned ac�vi�es for the next cou-

ple of mee�ngs. Its always a delight watching these young kids run

their mee�ng and we are always impressed by their leadership quali-

�es. A good Faculty Advisor is key to a successful club. OGMS Builders

are fortunate to have two of them, Jennifer Strinz LeBrun, and

Samantha Higbee. We presented Samantha Higbee a Cer�ficate of

Apprecia�on, and a Starbucks giQ card for her dedica�on to these

young servant leaders. Ms, Strinz was not present at

the mee�ng, and we plan on presen�ng her cer�fi-

cate and giQ card in the near future when she is

available.

On Sunday, September 28 we hosted a picnic for

our SLP from Wilson & Los Altos High Schools,

and OGMS. The picnic was hosted at the brand new

Orange Grove Park. This was our last scheduled event

of the year, and we wanted to thank our SLP for all

their hard work, service, and the assistance they pro-

vided with our club events and projects throughout

this year. We had a good a4endance, approximately

40+ students, represen�ng our KIWIN'S, Key Club's,

and our Builder's came out to have a whole lot of fun,

enjoy some burgers, and spend �me with our mem-

bers. Our guest outgoing LTG Robert Davis, was wel-

comed by Lon Salgren, Dave Wallach, Victoria Da-

vidson and her be4er half Jay, Robert Barba & his

beau�ful wife Debra, Susan Jacklin, President (for a

couple more days) Mahmood Bashir, and First Lady

Nancy Bashir. The kids had planned some fun ac�vi�es

for themselves, which included water balloon toss,

hula hoops, board games, and many other fun games.

At the beginning of the year we had promised

our SLP that we will host an event for them which

would not require any work on their part, and it will be

for them to just enjoy themselves and have fun. We

are glad we were able to keep our promise. While the

kids were playing and having fun, Master Chefs,

Dave Wallach & Robert Barba cooked the hamburg-

ers, assisted by their assistant chefs (more like their

minions) LTG Robert Davis, Lon Salgren, and Victoria

Davidson. We had a lot of fun taking custom orders for

single plain burgers, veggie burgers, single cheeseburg-

ers, double double without cheese, double double

with double double cheese, you name it we sa�sfied all

demands. There was plenty of soda and water for eve-

ry ones consump�on, and chips of course. Even

though it was a pleasant aQernoon we depleted our

supply of water, because the kids got thirsty because

of all the running around and playing hard. It was a

fun, and enjoyable aQernoon for all, a perfect way to

end a tremendous year of service, by our members

and our SLP. A huge Thank You to all who par�cipated,

and helped out.

Saturday was a very busy day. The Key Club had their Regional Training Conference (RTC) scheduled to

overlap with our monthly Adopt-a-Highway community service project. Based on this I expected a

lower turnout of Key Clubbers for AAH. Boy was I wrong!

Kiwanis members on hand included: Lon Salgren, Nancy & Ted Strinz (honorary), Dave Wallach,

Mahmood Bashir, Tom Rathman (honorary) and Anna Wu.

Glen A Wilson Key Club was represented by Felicia Kuo, Mindy Lu, Cynthia Chan, Parrevu Barimani,

Jonathan Cheng, Edmond Lau, Kairus Castardo, Joshua Ting, Brandon Yi, Jus,n Ramirez, Victor

Chavez, John Bau,sta, Isaac Gonzalez and Dante Gu,errez. Los Altos Key Club was represented by

Valeria Wong, Airi Fukushima, Chris,an Argumedo, Judy Chen, Marleen Geronimo, Alejandro Her-

nandez, Yvonne Lu, Jeffrey Lin, Rose Roldan, Shelsea Garcia, David Perez and Marlene Fierros. Glen

A Wilson KIWIN'S was represented by Noah Basit. Los Altos KIWIN'S was represented by Bryce Olivas

and Victoria Mezack.

We had great weather for AAH with temperature of just 70 and high intermi4ent clouds when we be-

gan. it had only warmed up to 74 degrees by the �me we concluded the AAH. A total of 1,436 ciga-

re4e bu4s were collected during our AAH project. Anna Wu drove around and took pictures of the

par�cipants for the Kiwaniscope. Nancy Strinz and Tom Rathman manned the base camp for us.

Dave, Mahmood, Ted and I led the groups of our SLP. Kathy was

there in sprit, having provided snacks and wipes for the par�ci-

pants.

I was surprised to be the first group back to base camp. Normally

my group is the last back. It helped that the flood control channel

(AKA "no man's land") where we normally spend at least twenty

minutes cleaning was open last month and was s�ll pre4y clean

this month. This saved us normal �me we would spend cleaning

trash between the chain link fence and brick wall and reaching

thru the fence to try and gather the trash.

Thank you to everyone that helped out for our monthly AAH com-

munity service project!

PS: During the August AAH Mahmood and his crew discovered

that the large wooden carved sign that our club installed in April

2010 during our Kiwanis One Day was suffering from graffi�.

Mahmood and I went early Sunday morning and removed the

sign. It has been returned to the Calico Carver at Kno4's for refur-

bishment and will be re-installed soon.

On September 27th, Wilson KIWIN’S led a

Live2Learn event at their local library, the

Elephant Extravaganza! Members read fic-

�onal and nonfic�onal stories about ele-

phants to the children and even wrote a

play to perform for them aQer the stories

were over. AQer that, the kids made their

own elephant masks out of paper plates

and construc�on paper. When the event

was ending, parents and library personnel

came up to thank members for their �me

and service. We plan to do this project

again to con�nue suppor�ng our Major Em-

phasis.

I invite ALL Service Leadership Programs to send in your upcoming events and photos of passed

events. We would love to included it in the Kiwaniscope and we love hearing from you! Send in your

stuff to [email protected]

By Nicolas Cas�llo-Davidson

Last Friday, September 26th I went to my second Meals On Wheels fundraising dinner at Pacific Palms. I really like going to

this dinner because there are many great “silent auc�on” items to bid on before we even go in to eat. There are sports items,

some of them signed by famous athletes, Kitchen gadgets, books and decora�on, and this year there was even a signed pic-

ture of our president (not my mom) but the President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Just like last year, I sat at the table sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Hacienda Heights (they also sponsor the Builders Club at

Newton Middle, my school). This year there were nine people from the Kiwanis club or their family members; Mr. and Mrs.

Bashir, Mr. and Mrs. Malkin, Mr. Mach, Mr. Salgren, Ms. Jan, my mom and I. Also Mr. Rudy Chavarria joined our table. Did

you know he established a scholarship founda�on for the students of HLPUSD where he worked for many years and aQer

re�ring was a school board member un�l 2013?

During the dinner, the auc�on guys got almost everyone to bid on sports stuff, cases of wine, trips and even a TV. Ms. Jan

went home with a case of wine, Mr. Salgren bought the flat screen TV and Mr. Mach got a giQ card from the “Deal or No

Deal” case game. They even got the audience to “bid” on nothing and just donate to support the program. I donated because

I know that many of the people who receive the meals are lonely. They may not have friends or family around and some�mes

the delivery guys may be the only person they talk to in the day. My nana and abuleta both live far away from here, so I hope

there are people there who go have meals with them every once in a while. I like that I can help someone here whose family

may be far away have meals with a friend. I can’t wait un�l next year when I can go to my third dinner for Meals on Wheels. I

plan on saving some extra money by then to buy something cool from the auc�on.

La Puente Industry Kiwanis Club Annual Installation Dinner

Sept. 23rd, 2014

By Mahmood Bashir

On Tuesday, September 23 La Puente Industry Kiwanis Club, hosted their Installa�on Dinner

at Casa Blanca Mexican Restaurant. It was a bi4er sweet event, as they celebrated their successes of

last year, reminisced about their glorious history, and talked about closing their club this year. Our club

members, Dave Wallach, Lon Salgren, David Malkin, Anna Wu, President Mahmood Bashir, and First

lady Nancy Bashir were in a4endance to offer support and encouragement. It was a fun evening, full

of good food, great friendships, and a lot of light moments and laughter. We leQ the event with posi-

�ve vibes that the members would get reinvigorated, and give it their best effort to keep the club go-

ing. Lets keep our fingers crossed, and lets keep encouraging them not to give up, and to give it one

more great college try.

Founda�on for Disabled Youth (FFDY) held its annual 2014 fundraiser last weekend at Mt. Sac. Mark

Chang, President of FFDY did the opening remarks and introduc�ons. Supporters of the event from

our Kiwanis Club were Ben Su, Lon Salgren, Ray Jan, John Hsu, Richard Lee and Anna Wu, and David

who volunteer ever weekend to support FFDY’s ac�vi�es. FFDY is the second AKTION Club sponsored

by the Kiwanis Club of Hacienda Heights.

FFDY’s event offered lively entertainment with the award winning M-Team. This marks the second

�me that M-Team’s full group of 25 elite taekwondo athletes appeared at a special performance for

FFDY’s annual event. There were also appearances by the FFDY’s Angels (clients with disabili�es

served by FFDY), dance by Chen-Li & Pei-Lin, and music by the String and Bamboo Orchestra and Music

Youth Group.

Ben Su was instrumental in bringing together FFDY’s community partners and Mt. San Antonio Founda-

The 24th Anniversary of the Rowland Heights Chinese Associa�on was

a4ended by several of our Hacienda Heights Kiwanis Club Members:

John Hsu, David and Teri Malkin, Wilson Mach, Gino Kwok, and Ste-

phen Chen (spouse of Grace Chen). Congressman Ed Royce was pre-

a focus on serving Chinese-Americans in Rowland Heights and pro-

mo�ng the mul�cultural heritage of different ethnic backgrounds and maintaining unity in the com-

munity.

RHCA members par�cipate in a variety of ac�vi�es in Rowland Heights and other areas such as:

Connec�ng with Rowland Unified School District, schools, and teachers

Assis�ng newly arrived families

Partnering with Asian Pacific Family Center on Family Educa�on Seminars

Encouraging Chinese-Americans to get involved in local community affairs

One of the key organizers of the Rowland Heights Buckboard Day parade since 2010.

As a group they are a role model in the community to lead people, and to unite people, regardless of

their ethnic backgrounds, and to help people create a harmonious community that fosters quality of

educa�on, quality of business environment, and quality of life.

The evening included a full prime rib dinner, mul�cultural entertainment and the introduc�ons of the

previous President John Hsu and the new President SueAnn Tai and her Board of Directors.

It was a wonderful evening of food, friendship, dancing, entertainment and networking.

2013-2014 Promotion and Installation of 2014-2015 Officers and Board of Directors

Saturday, Sept. 27th, 2014

By Victoria E Davidson-Cas,llo, 2014-2015 President

Last Saturday night, the scene was Italian, the atmosphere was fes�ve, the food was plen�ful, and

the fellowship was enchan�ng as the Kiwanis Club of Hacienda Heights gathered at Portofino’s

Italian Restaurant in La Habra to celebrate the annual promo�on and installa�on of the club’s

officers and board of directors.

Outgoing president Mahmood Bashir and his 2013-2014 board members and directors gladly ac-

cepted their promo�ons when presented with the opportunity by Division 35 Lt. Gov Robert Davis

(Glendora), who was accompanied for the fes�vi�es by his lovely wife Beverly. By the �me the

promo�on had rolled around, Mahmood had already been serenaded by the beau�es of the club

with a personalized rendi�on of “Bu4ercup”.

Anna Wu, incoming 2014-2015 president-elect, was presented with the Kiwanian of the Year

award for 2013-2014. Although Anna had taken a brief leave of absence at mid-year for the birth

of her (and Richard’s) beau�ful daughter Kyra, the club has been blessed throughout the year with

her cheerful spirit and unfe4ered enthusiasm for Kiwanis and the K-Family. Anna is well-known for

the hard work she puts into the edi�ng and publishing of our weekly Kiwaniscope. She has also

taken on the Eliminate project coordina�on for our club which has included sharing the Eliminate

message with other service organiza�ons including a presenta�on at the Walnut Valley Rotary in

early summer 2014. All this while maintaining her business, learning the new role of motherhood

and staying an ac�ve volunteer in the communi�es of southern San Gabriel Valley.

The outgoing president cumulated his (long) presenta�on of recogni�on and accolades with a

showing of love and apprecia�on for one club members in par�cular, his always suppor�ve but

honest bride, Nancy. Mahmood then stepped into his role as the Division 35 Lt Governor-

Designate to install the incoming 2014-2015 club board of directors and their officers. President-

elect Victoria Davidson thanked the a4endees for their support and commi4ed to working hard

with each and every one of those in a4endance to con�nue the good work and cheerful service of

our club’s rich history.

With that… Hail to Kiwanis…
