Meet you at the Clarion??

Pocatello, Idaho 83201

I would like to begin by sharing a quote from Connie Hodson. Connie wrote this after we

had the regional training in Utah last month. Many others shared her same sentiment and

were truly pleased by the content as well as the format of these regional trainings.

“We have been members since 1998. We have served in all of the positions and

attended many conventions. By far this was the best that have ever attended. I asked

my husband about it on the way home. His comment was it was simple. My thought

was I received what I went for. Thank you for all of the efforts.” Dick and Connie

Hodson

In order to continue with the same spirit and making sure you get the information you came

for there are many people putting in great efforts to make this convention the BEST one

ever! (Thank you Pocatello club for your efforts and your hospitality!) The Board of

Trustees, planning committee and your fellow members are excited to have you join us for

this year’s Annual Convention. The Pocatello club has been working hard to provide a fun,

relevant agenda along with many activities to keep your family members busy while you

are learning all things to better your clubs and your Kiwanis knowledge. Annual

Convention is also a great time to learn from others, build relationships, and get ideas about

fundraisers and service projects that help build stronger clubs.

Also, we will be having the House of Delegates on Saturday afternoon. This is where you

see the dynamic governing that happens at the district level, which YOU may be a part of.

Make sure your club assigns who will represent them in the House of Delegates and be sure

to get the enclosed form back to me no later than July 24th, 2014. You can scan and email it

to kryan@clearvoicetel.com or mail it to:

Kelly Ryan Rush

5000 S Deselm Way

Boise ID 83716

Registration is ready and you can either fill out the form in this Kiwanian or go to the

District website uikiwanis.org. Thanks Gordon for pulling all of this together!

I truly can’t wait to see all of you there!

All my best,

Kelly Ryan Rush

● To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a

practical means to form enduring

friendships, to render altruistic service

and to build better communities.

● To cooperate in creating and maintaining

that sound public opinion and high

idealism which make possible the

increase of righteousness, justice,

patriotism and goodwill.

Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis International club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Kiwanis members stage nearly

150,000 service projects, devote more than 6 million hours of service and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities,

families and projects. Key Club members pitch in 12 million hours of service each year, and CKI members another 500,000 hours of

service! Aktion Club members donate another 92,000 hours of service every year. Add it all up, and that’s more than 18 million hours

of service every year!

AN INTROSPECTIVE LOOK AT KIWANIS By Revis Turner, Governor-Elect

As a college counselor, I am always

interested in differences of personality traits

and the impact on our ability to function in

social and business situations. The e-zine

article, “Interview Tips for Introverts,”

caught my eye. Since I am a diagnosed

introvert, I am aware, as the article suggests,

that we have more difficulty with job

interviews than most people who have

extrovert traits. When it comes to job

interview components, most introverts could live without

making small talk, being the center of attention, or tooting your

own horn. These bring special challenges; yet, using an

introvert’s strength and tendencies to one’s advantage is a

strategy worth exploring. The bottom line, according to most

career counselors, is that an introvert’s path to success is

dependent on developing the discipline to “practice, practice,

practice.” (M.O. Laney, The Introvert Advantage: How to

Thrive in an Extrovert World.)

How does this apply to the Utah-Idaho Kiwanis District?

1. Kiwanis is a global organization, yet our membership is lower

than it was in the previous decade. Perhaps, we have taken on

introvert traits that have overshadowed our essential mission

diminishing our ability to “toot our own horn” and make public

our good deeds.

We must be resolved to strengthen our focus on our mission:

“Serving the Children of the World.” The clubs I have visited in

the last several weeks are doing wonderful things for children in

our communities. I’ve found that Utah-Idaho clubs are very

responsible at listening and responding to the needs of the

communities. We must be intentional about “tooting our horn,”

making a practice of informing the public of the mission of serving children in our home communities, as well as our global

concern for children.

2. One observation I would make is that Kiwanians are very creative when volunteering. We put a lot of good ideas into

practice. Instead of letting our communities know about our good deeds, the introvert trait of humility kicks in. Our mission

to “Serve the Children” is a proud legacy and Kiwanians work hard at making this a premier facet of our efforts.

We must be resolved to get the good news of our hard work and good deeds to the community. Every club should have a

communications/publicity leader or committee to practice sharing the wonderful community spirit that envelops our local

organizations.

3. Reflective thinking is a strength of an introvert. That is, an introvert will often think over thoughts before talking in

contrast to extroverts who talk in order to think. Detail work and planning are introvert strengths. Yet, this requires

intentional practice leading to ideas and projects that are well done.

We must be resolved to place the creative and thoughtful Kiwanians in positions where they can give leadership to our clubs

and projects. We must resolve to train them and provide resources that will enhance their abilities to further the mission of

Kiwanis.

4. Finally, introverts are often characterized by the strength and depth of relationships they develop. When Kiwanians

practice the art of empathy and caring, we put a spotlight on the purpose of our clubs. This provides a window into the spirit

of Kiwanis and magnifies the reason why people from diverse backgrounds can be united around common purposes.

We must be resolved to provide the opportunity to be welcoming clubs, to grow with comradeship of its members.

As Laney suggests, this takes, “Practice, Practice, Practice.” Utah-Idaho Kiwanis Clubs have amazing opportunities to use the

strengths and abilities of a diverse population to become a global club by growing a stronger mission to serve the children of

the world.

Kiwanis International was founded in 1915 in Detroit,

Michigan, and became an international organization with

the creation of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario, the

following year. In 2015, Kiwanis celebrates its 100th

anniversary, share in the excitement, get ready to

participate.

In the early years, members focused on business

networking but in 1919, the organization changed its focus

to service. In the 1960s, worldwide expansion was

approved and within the decade, Kiwanis International-

Europe was formed, representing Kiwanians in 11

European nations. In 1987, women officially were allowed

into the membership.

and a Constitution was approved. George F. Hixson was elected to the first of his two terms as President of the National

Kiwanis Club. Later that year, headlines would proclaim “Kiwanis Becomes International,” when the Kiwanis Club of

Hamilton, Ontario, was organized on November 1.

DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

Fellow Kiwanians in the Utah – Idaho District,

With the start of this Kiwanis year we began our District Communications

Improvement Project. The project includes using the e-mail solution that Constant

Contact offers to help improve our communications in the District.

The District has desired to provide better and timelier communication to the

membership about upcoming Local, Division, and District events, and any other

circumstances that would require quick communication. Also, to have a vehicle that is

available to the clubs to use as a way to communicate the things they are doing that

others in the District and area could participate in.

The sooner everyone in the District who wants to receive information directly

from the District is in Constant Contact, the sooner it will become a valuable tool for

everyone in the District to use. However, before members e-mail addresses can be

entered into Constant Contact they need to opt-in. Opting in can be done on a club

basis by filling out the form included in this issue of the U & I Kiwanian or

Individually by going online to the District Website (www.uikiwanis.org) and clicking

on the link on the homepage that says: “Click Here to Sign-up to Stay in Touch with

the Utah - Idaho Kiwanis District by E-mail”

To make this an effective tool for everyone in the District, each Club is being

asked to provide a list of those members who have e-mail addresses and who want to

receive e-mail communication through it. To date about 25% of the District

Membership is in Constant Contact. Those clubs haven’t not yet submitted your lists,

please do so as soon as possible.

The lists can be submitted to either Kelly Ryan Rush or myself. When we get

them, we will enter them into Constant Contact.

The form to use to gather the information that will go into constant contact is

included in this issue (on Page 22), and can be obtained on the District Website or by

Contacting your Lt . Governor, Kelly Ryan Rush or Gordon Lewis. Note that each

page needs to include the club name, and for each person desiring to receive e-mails

through Constant Contact we need: their name, e-mail address, and to indicate that

they are opting in to receive these e-mails.

Thanks for your support, Yours in Service

Gordon Lewis, Utah – Idaho Kiwanis District Communications Chair

NEW LOGO AND GRAPHICS LEARNING CENTER LAUNCHES

The Kiwanis logo stands for nearly 100 years of community service. To do its

job - communicating Kiwanis’ message to the world—the logo needs to be used the

right way. Kiwanis has set up the Logo and Graphics Learning Center at

www.KiwanisOne.org/logos so you’ll know the appropriate Kiwanis-family logo to

use for your project.

Logos and graphics are divided into categories: Clubs, Programs, Events and

Campaigns. Each page at the learning center displays the variations and types of logos

available for download. Use the help button to find out which logo is right for your

type of project, whether it will appear on paper, on an item like a sign or T-shirt or on

KIWANIS FAMILY CELEBRATES

THE ELIMINATE PROJECT PROGRESS

Collectively, the Kiwanis family and

the U.S. Fund for UNICEF have raised

more than US$51.9 million in cash and

pledges as of April 29, 2014—nearly

halfway to our US$110 million goal.

These funds will save or protect at

least 28.8 million women and their

future babies from maternal and

neonatal tetanus.

With less than 15 months left in The

Eliminate Project, each day counts. “As our gift to the world and in celebration of 100

years of Kiwanis, we have a very practical way to show our dedication to children

through the elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus,” said Illinois-Eastern Iowa

District Coordinator John Vanderheyden.

Visit www.TheEliminateProject.org/WWRD to see more highlights from Worldwide

Report Day, including a new thank you message from Kenya [video], recommended

fundraisers and words of wisdom from district teams.

ELIMINATE PROJECT UPDATE

Funding from Utah-Idaho Kiwanis Clubs are providing needed vaccine for Kenya &

Haiti.

Through The Eliminate Project, the Kiwanis family will forever change the world.

The campaign will raise US$110 million to save or protect millions of women and

their future babies from maternal and neonatal tetanus—and protect the connection

that this deadly disease destroys.

At the beginning of April, a Kiwanis International and U.S. Fund for UNICEF

delegation made a special visit to Haiti to see The Eliminate Project in action. Nearly

50 percent of tetanus cases in the Caribbean occur in Haiti. The island country carried

out a nationwide campaign against maternal and neonatal tetanus, aiming to immunize

nearly 1.5 million women of reproductive age, in April.

Less than two weeks earlier (in late March), a different Kiwanis International and

U.S. Fund for UNICEF delegation visited Kenya on behalf of The Eliminate Project.

Located in the Eastern and Southern African Region, Kenya is one of only two

countries (Kenya and Madagascar) in the region that has yet to achieve maternal and

neonatal tetanus elimination.

Find a small glimpse of what the groups experienced in Haiti and Kenya on the

following website-- https://www.facebook.com/TheEliminateProject/photos_albums

— from smiling moms and babies to bright colors and breathtaking scenery. See how

UNICEF and Kiwanis are, again, making a difference in the lives of countless

families around the world.

The Kiwanis Club of Logan, UT

Congratulations to the Logan Kiwanis for being the latest club to pledge to the

Eliminate Project. Their 46 members have pledge to contribute over $34,500 over the

next 5 years to eliminate MNT in our world. That means their gift will protect the

connection between 19,167 mothers and their future children. They have raised over

$15,500 already which means $309 per member has been raised. They will be

PAGE 11

awarded the U-I District Foundation MNT of $500 for their pledge.

The Kiwanis Club of Tooele, UT

Congratulations to the Tooele Kiwanis for their pledge to be a Bronze level Club for

the Eliminate Project. Their 40 members will raise an average of $350 per member

over the next 5 years. So far, they have raised over $8000 toward a $14,000 goal,

currently averaging $201 per member.

The Provo Golden K Club

Congratulations to the Provo Golden K Club who generously contributed a portion of

their funds to The Eliminate Project upon closing their club. What a wonderful legacy

for members who have served many worthy years the children of their community and

the world. Their gift of $4500 earned the Bronze Club Status and protected 2500

mothers and their children.

ANNUAL DISTRICT CONVENTION INFORMATION

2, 7:00 am. We will be done before 8:00 am in time for breakfast. The route will be

less than 3K and we want you to get sponsoring pledges from your club. Registration

will be taken at the Convention Eliminate Table. The funds raised will be matched by

generous donors. So let’s all pitch in and make this a great team fundraising event.

Each $1.80 we raise will protect one mother and her future children.

CONTINUING LEADERSHIP EDUCATION (CLE) TRAINING

CLUB PRESIDENTS AND PRESIDENTS ELECT

“Now that I am elected, what do I do?” This is a “hands on” workshop that goes

(immediate Past Governor), Jim Spinelli (outgoing Governor), Revis Turner

(Incoming Governor), Wes Sine (Governor Elect 2014-2015), and Jim Vaughan (our

avoid the pitfalls of your Presidency. Although this workshop is for Club Presidents,

all are invited to observe and participate.

FOUNDATION UNVEILS NEW PROGRAM FOR LOYAL

DONORS

Many members of the Kiwanis International Foundation have been supporters for

years. To honor that consistent commitment, our foundation has started a new donor

recognition program, the Kiwanis Loyalty Society.

It’s simple. When you make a gift for two consecutive years, you automatically

become a member. And benefits begin after five years. There are three Kiwanis

Loyalty Society levels:

• Blue, 5–9 years of consecutive giving

• Silver, 10–24 years of consecutive giving

• Gold, 25 or more years of consecutive giving

It’s our foundation’s way of thanking you for your continued support on behalf of all

of the children whose lives we have impacted together. Learn more about the Kiwanis

Loyalty Society or contact Jereme Grinslade, alumni and annual fund administrator, at

+1-317-217-6157 (U.S. and Canada) or jgrinslade@kiwanis.org.

FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT NOW ONLINE

The Kiwanis International Foundation’s annual report is now available to view

in the April-May 2014 digital issue of Kiwanis magazine.

In the annual report, you’ll find donor lists, the latest financial statements from

our foundation and information about The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating

maternal and neonatal tetanus.

Check out the Kiwanis International Foundation’s annual report at

www.kiwanis.org/annualreport.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT KIWANIS?

Why did you become a Kiwanian, was it because your father or grandfather was

a member? Was it because you saw the impact that clubs have in schools? Think

about what you enjoy about your Kiwanis experience. Why do you remain committed

to serving the children of the world?

Now, consider what would make your experience better. Think about your

club's aspirations and what it would take to reach them. Find unmet service needs in

your community and ponder how even more hearts and hands working together could

solve them. Try a new fundraiser. Make your community an even better place.

Use The Formula to strengthen the future of your club, your community and the

Kiwanis family. Start now.

1927 - Efforts to provide educational opportunities began with the convention in

Memphis, Tennessee. Various forums, workshops, and other instructional sessions

have been provided over the years.

This year our annual golf tournament funds are going for a great cause that is

near and dear to the heart of Kiwanis. Kiwanis International and UNICEF have

joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals

the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each

year. The effects of the disease are excruciating – tiny newborns suffer repeated,

painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their

future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage,

transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million – and

the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family. It only

takes 3 shots at 60¢ a shot to save the life of the mother and unborn baby. You can

help us reach this goal with your support.

Golfing &/or dinner is still an activity for Kiwanis members & their guests. It

is still a fun, NON-serious fellowshipping activity to encourage interaction among

fellow Kiwanians and potential members. Bring your children, a friend or an

associate. Even if you don’t golf, or if your potential member doesn’t, still try to

come to the dinner.

The entry fee & charges can be paid the day of the event. Because it is difficult

to reorganize the whole pairing system if even 1 golfer cancels at the last minute,

please try to have true commitments to this outing and call or email me with the

names of your golfers ASAP.

A tee-box can be sponsored for $75. Tee-box plus a green is $125. A

professional 18”x24” sign with logo will be placed at each sponsored location. If you

wish to be a new sponsor, we need adequate time to prepare your sign. (see

attachment)

You can support the 31st annual “Golf-N-Grub” Kiwanis Charity Golf Tournament in

the following 3 ways:

1. Play Golf and Eat Lunch (3 options)

* Golf, Cart, Drinks, Treats, Lunch == $65

Use Golf Pass ================ $39

Same without Lunch =========== $53

* Lunch only, no golf =========== $12

BUILD PLAYGROUND

TO CELEBRATE

KIWANIS’ 100TH ANNIVERSARY

As your club starts planning to celebrate Kiwanis’ 100th anniversary, consider

honoring your community with a legacy gift of play from Landscape Structures, a

Kiwanis Vision Partner.

Landscape Structures (http://www.kiwanis.org/kiwanis/about-kiwanis/partners/

landscape-structures) has created three personalized designs that showcase Kiwanis’

100th anniversary (http://www.kiwanis.org/docs/default-source/community-

partners/playground-resources/pdf---centennial-playgrounds-flier.pdf?sfvrsn=6) to

match your community needs and budget. Why not make it your 2015 Kiwanis One

Day project and engage your entire Kiwanis family with a community playground

build (http://www.kiwanis.org/kiwanis100/celebrate/centennial-playgrounds)?

Start with Landscape Structures’ playground planning guide

(http://viewer.zmags.com/ publication/f088b2fc#/f088b2fc/1) discuss the idea with

your club and contact your local LSI playground consultant

(http://www.playlsi.com/Contact-Us/Find-A-Rep/Pages/Find-A-Rep.aspx) for ideas.

What a way to ring in 100 years of service to children!
