To all you Kiwanians with the Heart of a Hero, thanks so much for all of your kindness and hospitality provided during our official visits so far to date. Lt. Governors and their committees have gone above and beyond in the planning and execution that you absolutely amaze us. We have completed official visits to more than 35 divisions and have less than 5 to go. Attendance at each visit has been outstanding, and we appreciate your special gifts, purchase of both Governor and First Lady’s Focus pins, and donations to both the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation & Kiwanis International Children's Fund. Speaking of attendance, we exceeded all expectations at both Mid-Year South in San Diego and Mid-Year North in Santa Rosa. Our seminars were well received and thank you to all of our District and Kiwanis International presenters, which included Past International President Jane Erickson who is always a fan favorite. Our full house seminar on Closing the Back Door was educational, inspiring and thought provoking. The always popular hospitality suites, and Foundation Gala exceeded all expectations. The home grown entertainment for the evening Gala's was exceptional karaoke at its best! Kiwanis is all about family, and comradery which was evident throughout both conferences. Service continues to impress us! KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 2 -- 2018 - 2019

President 2018-20 Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation I recently attended Key Club, KIWIN’s and Circle K conventions. Plenty of energy at each one. Talk about being excited about Kiwanis and community service. I was totally amazed with all the awards that were given out. There must have been well over a million hours of service. Many leadership awards were presented to clubs all around the district. Handing out approximately $100,000 of scholarships was the crowning point of the conventions. Yes, our future is truly bright. Your donations for the “Dinner Anywhere” and “Aloha” tribute quilt sales go to support the scholarships and leadership training of the students as well as your Distinguish Service and Community Service Awards along with donations to the Dunlap Fellowship, Tablets of Honor, Hope of America Awards and Champion for Children. Help the Foundation not only prevent traumatic injury through the Pediatric Trauma Program, but also our youth leadership and scholarship programs by donating to the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation. Visit our website at www.cnhkiwanis.org or contact the Foundation office for details on how you may contribute. KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 2 -- 2018 - 2019

Cocktails, dinners, auctions, and fun!
At the recent Mid-Year Conferences, the CNH District and the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation co-hosted the Platinum Jubilee Gala to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cal-NevHa District of Kiwanis and the 25th anniversary of the Foundation's Pediatric Trauma Program. It's safe to say our guests celebrated with glee! Each Gala began with guests mingling over cocktails while enjoying a variety of items available for bidding in our silent auction, followed by dinner. The highlight of each event was definitely the live entertainment - karaoke, sung by our very own Kiwanians! While guests enjoyed their dinner, some of our most talented members displayed their singing skills. Sue Cox from Rady Children's Hospital (pictured below, right) and Bonnie Lovette from UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland (pictured below, left) were recognized during dinner with the Foundation's Pediatric Trauma Lifetime Achievement Award for their tireless efforts in preventing pediatric trauma. Kiwanians Pete Horton and Bob Erikson (pictured below, center) were also recognized with the Foundation's Pediatric Trauma Hero Award for their involvement in the development of our innovative Pediatric Trauma Program. The evening wrapped up with the announcement of our wine raffle winners, followed by an exciting live auction where guests had the opportunity to bid on wine country trips, as well as a 7 night Hawaiian vacation. Thanks to your generous donations, our Galas were a massive success, with an $18,113 net income! That's nearly double our 2017-2018 result! It is only through your generosity that we are able to build a better future for our children, and for that, we thank you. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

KIWANIS YOUTH PROTECTION
by Tony Goorchenko excerpt from Division 19 Newsletter
Part of Kiwanis Youth Protection training program is designed to control who has access to children and ensure that those who do undergo rigorous screening procedures. It is important for all adults to understand what this means and how this process works. Adults who are being screened have not been identified as potential predators. Rather, all counselors, Service Leadership Kiwanis advisors and volunteers are screened carefully because such screening constitutes an important preventive protective step in establishing a safe environment in the schools and community. Screening gives confidence to parents, children, and those working with them that all are committed to the protection of children and youth in our programs, school and community. For more information on Youth Protection go to https://www.kiwanis.org/clubs/memberresources/training/risk-management/youth-protection Kiwanis advisors to any sponsored Service Leadership Program are required to have a criminal background check conducted and verified by Kiwanis International. By offering a standard, comprehensive background check for all Kiwanis advisors through Kiwanis International, we can be confident that all Kiwanis clubs are protecting those we serve—and protecting all Kiwanis members.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Who is required to have clear
criminal history background checks? A: Whomever is reported as the designated Kiwanis advisor to any sponsored Service Leadership Program (SLP) club. Kiwanis International’s SLPs are K-Kids, Builders Club, Key Club, KIWIN’S, Circle K, and Aktion Club.
Q: Why are Kiwanis advisors
required to get a background check? A: There is no more important responsibility than the safety and well-being of those we serve—from the children in youth programs to adults with disabilities. Required background checks help ensure that Kiwanians meet the highest standards by identifying past behavior that may disqualify a person from working closely with those we serve. Background checks are an important step in which Kiwanis can ensure that our members and those we serve are protected. https://www.kiwanis.org/clubs/member-resources/training/risk-management/background-checks Celebrating 100 Years • 909.989.1500 • www.cnhkiwanis.org
Hopping into Easter with Kiwanis The City of West Covina, CA has held an annual Easter Egg Hunt in their community for many years. Due to budget cuts, the City of West Covina was unable to host the event this year, much to the disappointment of thousands of children who look forward to attending each year. That's when the Kiwanis Club of West Covina stepped in. With the help of a grant from the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation, the club hosted this year's Easter Egg Hunt on April 13th, 2019. With a projection of more than 1,500 children to participate in the event that also featured games, activities, and a petting zoo, the Kiwanis Club of West Covina was excited to host the event. "Our intention is to make this a yearly event and improve on it each year," shared Brad Manning, project chair. It's safe to say that the club is "hopping" in the right direction!
As we celebrate 100 years, consider the number of service and fundraising hours we have collectively done. Be proud of our accomplishments in our respective communities, divisions, regions and the District as a whole. It takes many hands to continue our work over the next 100 years.

Membership growth was the focus back in 1957. Nothing really changes. Governor Jim Parrish challenged the clubs for net growth one member. “Net gain per club looks rather easy, but we are far from our goal. It looks like a serious illness, and the only relief in sight is improvement. You, Mr. Club President, are the doctor.”

To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards. To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship. 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. The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 Kiwanis International Convention in Denver, Colorado.

In keeping with Governor Rocci’s theme “Heart of a Hero,” the Kiwanis Club of the Las Vegas Strip turned a regular meeting into a dual service project. One of the club’s members belongs to a quilting club and suggested the club make Inspirational Hearts. The hearts were given to mothers who have sick children and babies at the club’s local hospital, St. Rose Dignity Health - Children’s Miracle Network. Club members cut out heart shapes from donated material and batting, then two members sewed the hearts. The fabric heart was given to the mother of the sick child to be worn against the mother’s skin so that the fabric absorbs the scent of the parents. The heart was then placed with the baby or child so the scent of the mother was always with her child. The scraps of materials left from cutting out the hearts were collected and stuffed into a pillow case. The pillow case, when filled with scrap material is then donated to a local animal shelter as a bed for dogs. Two service projects rolled into one meeting.

Easter Egg Hunt, Pancake Breakfast and Duck Race -- what a day! The day began with the Kiwanis Club of La Mirada setting up for the annual pancake breakfast at the City of La Mirada’s Easter Egg Hunt. Hundreds and hundreds of parents and children arrived promptly not to miss the big Easter Egg Hunt (which actually takes about two minutes). Before and after the hunt, pancake breakfasts are cooked and served by club members and with the help of California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) Circle K members. Circle K members came out in force -- approximately 35 of them.
Also during the morning, Circle K members adorned the duck costume and mingled with the crowd where pictures were taken galore. The young children were all “smiles.” Duck adoptions for the annual duck race were taken, raising funds for both the Kiwanis Club of La Mirada and the CSUF Circle K club. Once the pancake breakfast was finished and all was torn down, the members raced to SPLASH! Aquatic Center for the 13th annual duck race. Non-profits in the community raised funds selling adoptions of the rubber ducks. KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 2 -- 2018 - 2019

The Mark Royston Memorial “Going Quackers for Kids” rubber duck race took flight on Saturday, April 20th. The first race was the sponsor race -- large chlorinator ducks, with the winning duck receiving a dinner gift certificate to celebrate. Following the sponsor race was the “main” race -- thousands of rubber ducks (shown in the trap above) dropped to the lazy river. The current is stirred up to make the ducks maneuver around each other working to be at the beginning of the flock. Cash prizes are awared to the first nine adopted ducks who crosses the finish line. A total of 30 other prizes awarded.
CSUF Circle K member adorns the duck costume making all the children smile and have fun.
As usual, if it wasn’t for the Circle K members assisting the club with not only the duck race but also the kids games, this event would not be possible. A very big “Thank You” to CSUF Circle K for the help at all the club’s events. They are truly an extension of the Kiwanis Club of La Mirada.
If you do not have an aquatic center or river near by, your club can still hold their own duck race. Contact the Kiwanis Club of Glendale to find out how they manage their duck race by making their own water way.

A total of 190 dictionaries were given, one to every third grader in five elementary schools. This year marks the 18th year of the program with more than 3,400 dictionaries distributed since the program’s inception.
At a club meeting, the Kiwanis Club of Healdsburg celebrated all of its member’s birthdays. The room was arranged with festively decorated tables each designated for seating two birth months. The generosity of attendees raised more than $1,900 to supplement the club’s administration fund. Each person was asked to donate an amount equal to their age. In March, the club participated in the annual Steelhead Festival at Lake Sonoma. This year, the weather was cold with intermittent rain. Several thousand people braved the elements and enjoyed the festivities. The Kiwanis food booth served polish sausage, hot dogs, corn dogs and garlic fries.

The club set up tables and chairs in the Marina Community Center, decorated them with festive table covers and holiday decorations. Members then cooked and served pancakes, eggs and sausage for FREE to all children and families in attendance.
The annual event fed breakfast to more than 300 children, parents and grandparents. The Marina High School Key Club served food and ran a free drawing throughout the morning.

Foundation Dinners
Both Mid-Year Conferences (North and South) had an increase in the number of attendees. The members were engaged right from the start with Past International President Jane Erickson as the first speaker of the day. And as the day proceeded, members went to many different educational seminars and joined other members at the luncheon for fellowship. The “Heart of a Hero” shined through all day. Then to top off the day, the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation Dinner and Auction regaled the guests with karaoke for entertainment and a fabulous wine raffle. It was so much fun that plans are already underway for 2020 -- so plan on joining us in Modesto and/or San Gabriel. You don’t want to miss it!

Landscape Structures
where Children come to Play!!!
by Michael Fields CNH District Partnership Coordinator

Kiwanis aligns with partners possessing a shared mission to preserve the trust of members and the communities, children and families served. LSI is proud to provide high-quality commercial playground equipment and planning consultation services that reflect the high degree of integrity that Kiwanis clubs expect. This toolkit will help Kiwanis clubs create amazing playgrounds that will bring their communities together to play.
WHO IS LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES? Since 1971, Landscape Structures has been committed to enhancing children’s lives while honoring the environment. LSI creates innovative playground equipment to inspire children to grow strong bodies and minds so their future remains bright.

WHY IS LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES PARTNERING WITH KIWANIS? Landscape Structures believes in creating better communities. What better way to do this than by partnering with the world’s best volunteer-led service organization? Kiwanis family members are able to provide LSI’s representatives with community connections, access to local leadership and most importantly, members who are committed to giving all families the ability to play on an innovative, fun, safe and inclusive, playground structure.
WHY IS KIWANIS PARTNERING WITH LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES? Kiwanis only partners with the most trusted organizations, with these criteria: • Industry leader with a strong, stable reputation • Mission focused • Shared values • Fills a need within the Kiwanis family of clubs • Longevity of partnership It doesn’t stop there though. Our clubs need to feel comfortable knowing LSI has their best interests at heart. With more than 150 local sales representatives, Kiwanis members know their service needs will be met from the smallest to the largest concerns. Clubs can be proud to know the beautiful playground they help build will be a major legacy centerpiece in the community, illustrating how powerful a signature project can be. LSI has also created the Playground Planning Guide to help Kiwanis clubs envision, analyze, design, install and enjoy their very own playground. Take a look at the exclusive playground designs created for Kiwanis International. https://www.playlsi.com/en/company/partnerships-memberships/kiwanis-international KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 2 -- 2018 - 2019

HOW CAN YOUR CLUB CONTACT A LOCAL LSI SALES REPRESENTATIVE? It’s very easy to connect with LSI. Simply go to playlsi.com and search for your local representative by entering your postal code. In addition to finding your local sales representative at playlsi.com, here are a few simple ideas for ways to begin developing this meaningful partnership. Meet your local sales representative casually for coffee and discuss how you can work together to improve the community. Getting a better understanding of how LSI works can help your club achieve its goals. Invite your sales representative (or team) to a club meeting. Ideally, invite them to be the club’s program/speaker. This is a great way to share with your club members how committed LSI is to being the industry leader in inclusive playground design. Invite them to a service project. Building playgrounds takes time. Get to know your local LSI team by inviting them to a club service project. With sleeves rolled up, you’ll get to know each other on a more personal level and become equally committed to creating a better community. This is an important step to building a long lasting relationship. KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 2 -- 2018 - 2019

Extend a Kiwanis membership invitation. As a Kiwanis club, extending an invitation to your local sales representative provides you access to an additional local network you may not be aware of. Local LSI companies build relationships with influential community leaders who can provide benefits to clubs, and might join your club too! Likewise, it behooves a local representative to join your club. Kiwanis clubs also have influence, such as within schools and municipalities that are helpful in building strong community alliances.

(CLUB LEADERSHIP EDUCATION)
CLE (Club Leadership Education) is a vital training for incoming Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers. This will jump start your year -- setting budgets, planning service and fundraising project, making meetings fun, how to run a board meeting, and succession planning. Being a leader encompasses many facets, i.e. leading by example, and delegating rather than doing it all yourself. Plan to attend the CLE Training coming to your division and/or region soon. It will be well worth your time.

KIWIN’S As part of Key Club International, the KIWIN’S division provides high school students leadership, fellowship and the knowledge to do great things. Community service is at the fore-front of the club and member, but also instills long lasting friendships.
At a takeover meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Torrance, the Torrance High KIWIN’S presented a professional video highlighting the club’s many activities, including fundraisers, socials, service projects, and participation in a “Walk for Water”. The walk is a fundraiser that brings awareness to fight the global water crisis. At the walk, supporters pay an entry fee, then walk up to 5 kilometers around the track while carrying either a 5 gallon jerry can or a single gallon of water. The goal was to teach participants about the water crisis by showing them how millions of people around the world walk an average of six hours per day while carrying a 45-lb. jerry can just to get clean water. All funds from the “Walk for Water” were donated to the Thirst Project (2018-219 CNH KIWIN’S Governor’s Project). The Torrance KIWIN’S had set a goal of $12,000 to build a well and ended up raising more than $15,000. KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 2 -- 2018 - 2019

Join the 100th Anniversary CNH District Service Project Have the Heart of a Hero? Volunteer at the District Convention in Las Vegas (August 2019) to help package 20,000 meals for homeless, hungry, and needy families! Partnering with The Outreach Program and funds from our 15% District Grant from the Kiwanis Children’s Fund we will do a super service project! And you can help! Want to be involved? We will need 10-12 volunteers per line (10 lines), and 20,000 meals can be put together in a couple of hours! What an opportunity to do great service. Watch for sign-up information coming soon. Make time at the convention to help make a difference. Training will be done one hour prior to the event. Need 10-12 team leaders – (one per packaging line) to explain the responsibility of each job on the packaging line and to ensure that each job is performed correctly. This is a key role and will need to be available for the duration of the event. Heavy lifters/runners/loaders (one per line/must be able to lift 50 lbs.) Their function will be to keep ingredients filled on packaging lines, collect finished boxed meals, load pallets with boxed meals and then into trucks. In just a few hours you can be a justifiably proud Kiwanian with the Heart of Hero knowing you have been part of the Cal-Nev-Ha 100th Anniversary service project providing 20,000 meals for hungry families!

Let’s Meet the President’s Challenge! by Herman Platzke, District Chair, Kiwanis Children’s Fund
Let’s cut through the chaff! Get to the point! Do you have the heart of a hero? Do you love, share and live Kiwanis? Let’s meet the President’s Challenge! Let’s show the Kiwanis world what the Cal-Nev-Ha District of Kiwanis is made of! Let’s have 50 per cent of our clubs make an Annual Gift to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund which supports the First Lady’s project, too. The dividends are many: Service Leadership Programs, club and district service projects, disaster relief, the Eliminate Project and Iodine Deficiency Disorder are all important causes and reasons for supporting the Children’s Fund.
Service Leadership Programs are our future: Service Leadership Programs building a stronger generation of leaders and service volunteers have been awarded 40% of all grants since 2012. Our Service Leadership Programs are reason enough for your club to make a $10 per member contribution to the annual gift campaign for the Children’s Fund.

Club and district grants: Club and district grants supporting service projects in your community and around the world fulfilling unmet needs of children are awarded three times a year. One of the most recent was awarded in January 2019 to the Kiwanis Club of Los Altos for the Center for Hope and Healing to build a new facility that will include therapy rooms for dramatic play and music, art and game therapy part of the Children’s Grief Center to help children who have lost a loved one.
Disaster relief grants: Disaster relief grants are provided for floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires to help with immediate needs, food, water, first aid supplies, clothing/blankets, cleaning supplies and toiletries. Since April 4, 2019, $35,000 has been provided to seven clubs in Iowa and Nebraska affected by the devastating floods. When disaster strikes, the Kiwanis family responds.

The Eliminate Project: With more than $85 million of the $110 million provided to UNICEF since 2010, we need to fulfill our remaining pledges and eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) in the 14 remaining countries. Donations can still be made to the Eliminate Campaign and clubs with pledges can still provide Walter Zeller awards, saving 690 mothers and their babies from a preventable disease.
Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD): Hailed as a major achievement of the 20th century by the World Health Organization in 1994 we teamed with UNICEF, preventing a mental health problem with the iodization of salt. We are continuing to provide sustaining grants to maintain the infrastructure in Cambodia and Sudan.

Meeting the President’s Challenge: It’s not in your club’s budget? Consider it. A budget is a working document. I became a member of Kiwanis 25 years ago and my club of Twentynine Palms has made an annual gift to the Founder’s Circle and the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. Presidents and Lieutenant Governors ask your clubs and members to meet the President’s Challenge. Ways to meet the challenge: The Presidents’ Challenge is a $10 per member donation. Less than a dollar a month, consider a personal donation to your club to make it happen. Do a matching donation. Take a few dollars from a successful fundraiser and earmark it for the Children’s Fund. How many of your clubs have had a fundraiser and donations were made expecting nothing in return. I’ll give you a personal example. I was selling See’s Candies at Stater Bros market in Twentynine Palms over the holidays and a mother with her daughters ask about Kiwanis and I shared what our club does in our community and around the world. She donated $25 dollars from their recycle money, I offered a box of See’s candy, but she declined thanking Kiwanis for all we do. A Kiwanis moment! These donations add up and could help your club meet the President’s Challenge. President’s Challenge Met the Past 3 Years: Thanks to your club and individual donations, our district has met the President’s Challenge for three years! We have benefitted receiving district grants each year, 15% of our giving, $9,283 in 2018 and $10,723 this year. Last year it provided for Key Leader Camp, two Aktion Club projects, and a Key Club project at the district convention in Hawaii. This year the Key Leader program will be helped and a district service project to provide 20,000 meals will be done at our district’s 100th Anniversary celebration in Las Vegas.
The President’s Challenge has been made!
The district challenge is for 50% of our clubs to donate a total of $44,000. Do you love, share and live Kiwanis? Have the heart of a hero? The rewards are many from the five causes your Children’s Fund supports, especially our Service Leadership Programs; to district grants, 15% of our giving; to leading the way in the Kiwanis world! (Priceless!) #SWAGAWANIS
