 Presidential Thoughts
Don Lilyquist
There is a song in the Kiwanis
songbook that starts out …
When Kiwanis calls,
When Kiwanis calls,
Let every one stand up.
And stand up we do. Soon our President Elect Denny Nelson will be organizing his
committees, and committee Chairs for the next Kiwanis Year, and when he calls, I hope that
you will stand up and say yes .It is our membership that makes this, the great club that
it has been for 90 years.
And the next line …
When Kiwanis calls,
When Kiwanis calls,
Let each one raise their cup.
This year w raised our cup high and distributed over $26000. To about 30 sponsored youth
organizations. This years Auction was a great success, and will provide us with even more
money for next years requests. When we raise our cup we do make a difference.
To the youth in our area. And the song goes on …
As we gather ’round the table,
As long as we are able,
And we do every week to enjoy a good meal, great fellowship, interesting, informative, and
just plain good programs. And the opportunity to share our experiences with Happy Dollars
and News Items.
Have you considered sharing Kiwanis with a friend? It was a friend that shared Kiwanis
with you.
And the last line …
We’ll pledge to thee our loyalty,
When Kiwanis calls.
And we do have loyalty in our club 17 of our current membership has served as an officer
of our club, and another 30 members have served as members of the Board of Directors and
one as a Lt. Governor.
That’s a good song. We should sing it sometime!

School's Out
Picnic!
I had a wonderful time dishing out hot
dogs with Ben, Carol, Jane and all the rest of the hard working group of Kiwanians. My
grandchildren were there, no not all 15 but 3 and their mother Beth was interviewed on
television. She had a great time soaking in the sun and sharing fun with friends and
family. After I left to see a client he kept sniffing me. Do you think the hot dog aroma
was overwhelming? I think so as I sold him a house!! Yea! Think I will do this next year
and hope more folks will join in the fun. A special thank you to the guys cooking the dogs
over heat on a hot swealtering day. Bless them for their energy and goodness.
Best Regards, Jan Lenz

What is a Kiwanian?
Kiwanis
Name
The name
“Kiwanis” means “we trade” or “we share our talents.” It was
coined from an American Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis.
Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children
and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the
disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds,
raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small.
Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things
happen!
As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!
- About 8,000 clubs in 96 countries
- More than 260,000 adult members
- Approximately 320,000 youth
To serve children of the world.
Service
- Sponsor nearly 150,000 service projects.
- Raise more than $107 million.
- Contributed more than $80 million toward the global elimination of iodine
deficiency disorders (IDD), the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.
