A Message from the Club President We’ve been having a great summer in our world of Tigard Kiwanis. It’s good to have this newsletter to record all that’s happened and all we’re looking forward to doing in the upcoming months. I’m thrilled with the teamwork and individual contributions made towards the recent Salmon Barbecue, making it a very successful event; FUN & FUNdraising for Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program. Can we top that next year? Getting a stronger connection to the youth of the community through Key Club involvement may be a way to grow our positive impact to the kids of our community and to our club itself.

We’ve made several leaps forward in the last two months. We all need to support these efforts, however we can.

As I write this, I’m on a clear liquid diet and am really quite hungry – more than usual.

So, the prospects of a Division Council picnic/potluck, and a club “fifth Wednesday social” have me thrilled! Along with all our good works with Packed with Pride and the Good Neighbor Center that we continue to do for feeding the less fortunate children of the Tigard area, we’re starting to think about the next Kiwanis year and what more could we possibly do. One idea that’s come to my attention is the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Look this over: https://imaginationlibrary.com/usa/. Early reading and books for those aged 0 to 5 years seems possibly very impactful to our future. A quick look at the numbers shows funding this as an ongoing project is a BIG stretch for us. But maybe, just maybe, we can get out and do this; or we can attempt some other new high-impact project. I think many in the community will help us. Let’s finish this Kiwanis year with some good social interaction, (and food), but stay hungry for achieving more together to serve our local youth.

Just Imagine!

By George Deibert

“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious!

“Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission. In the beginning, my hope was simply to inspire the children in my home county, but here we are today with a worldwide program that gives a book a month to well over 1 million children. Of course, I have not done this alone. The real heroes of our story are the thousands of local organizations around the globe that have embraced my dream and made it their own.” ~Dolly George has a dream that maybe we can join in on this incredible effort!

So, check out that website he mentioned!

~ Vince Lombardi

The field of battle for the Kiwanis Club of Tigard for the 2021-22 year has been to conquer roadblocks to service, and to emerge stronger and more vital, despite pandemic hardships.

Here is what we accomplished: • We are now meeting, in person, with a commitment to providing programs and speakers for the upcoming year.

• We have continued regular volunteering for two hands-on projects… the Good Neighbor Center and Packed with Pride.

• We have re-instated our personal support in serving the Sherwood High School Key Club.

• We have created projects to financially support the Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp and the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program.

• We are re-connecting with other Kiwanis clubs and supporting their project efforts, as well as attending DCMs,.

• And we have done so much more! Check out the rest of this newsletter to see that the Kiwanis Club of Tigard is assuredly…

VICTORIUS IN SERVICE!

VICTOROIUS IN SERVICE As we complete one year of service and begin to make plans for the start of the next year on October 1st, we are reminded to take pride in our Kiwanis mission:

Serving the Children of the World!

3

The Good Neighbor Center continues to be a priority for our members. We are there the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, cooking a tasty spaghetti dinner.

4

We each have two hands, one to help ourselves and one to help others!

While it is a bit of a daunting job to persist in our Packed with Pride service, week-after-week, we continue to be grateful for those who volunteer alongside us.

Hard Labor It Wasn’t… But it Was a Labor of Love!

We drove to the Tualatin-Tigard School District Office of Education on a morning in early June… and our only task was to put mailing labels onto postcards that advertised an upcoming golf tournament. The purpose of the tournament was to raise money for the foundation that sponsors the Packed with Pride program. The postcards were being put into the on-site mailboxes of ALL Tualatin-Tigard School District employees.

The “live” show on April 22nd was a wonderful time for all; great food and drinks, great entertainment, and an important cause to support!

The online auction featured 70 items that brought in over $21,000. Our own Robert Bell donated “Six Nights at Black Butte” and it went for $1,225!

It was 7 a.m. on a Friday morning in early June 2928. Registration for the golf tournament includes all when we headed out to go to the Mt. Hood Kiwanis green fees, cart, driving range and range Camp Work Day. When we arrived they put fees. us to work Participants are also treated to beer and hot dogs on thein course, boxed lunch and dinner. Games are assembling beds to be used by the camp counselors included with registration. their sleeping tents. A couple of teams of us put together five beds per tent, for seven tents. It took us all day, but they fed us a great lunch; and we actually had a good time socializing while we worked. I am so glad that I got to see the camp. It is an amazing endeavor! I can hardly wait to go back some time when I can view it with campers there!

GOLF TOURNAMENT

HOOD

Stuffing “Goodie Bags” before the tournament

A N I S Thanks to family & friends, we had a full team-of-four participate in the tournament.

Ready to “sink it” for MHKC

By Bill Pennell The Tigard Kiwanis foursome included Kiwanians Bob Bell and Bill Pennell and guests Adam Bell and Dick Fulsaas. A good time was had by all, and although we came in at last place, with a score of 78, we had a lot of fun! The day was perfect for golf, and the course at Landon Farms was in top shape. As some of you may know, the tournament supporting the Kiwanis Camp was started years ago by the Tigard club, and though the Camp Office has taken the tournament to new heights, our club still does a lot to support it. The bottom line, of course, is raising funds for the camp, and the special needs campers it serves. This year’s tournament raised over $26,000.

CLUB CLE Training

By Sue Cummins It took my whole Saturday, and beforehand, I wasn’t all that excited about doing the Club Leadership Education Training. But, I knew it had to be done, because I am taking over from long-time club secretary, Beth Morehouse; and I knew that I needed to learn more about the job to be able to follow in her experienced foot-steps. The day turned out to be very helpful. At first, I couldn’t understand why I, as an incoming secretary, had to sit through training for ALL the positions! But again, as the day progressed, it became clear to me that ALL the training was beneficial. A great deal of it had more to do with general training for club leaders, as opposed to specific training for positions. For example, there were sessions on: youth protection; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and membership recruitment. I ended up taking 5 ½ pages of notes! I learned so much, thanks to the hard work of the presenters, many of whom were former PNW Governors.

The Newest Member of Our Kiwanis Club is a Recent Key Club Graduate Did you know… as an encouragement for former Key Clubbers to join Kiwanis, KI waives all international and district dues for the first two years of their Kiwanis club membership? That amounts to $98 of the annual $150 that Tigard members pay.

Another $25 pays for insurance and the KI magazine. Finally, our club charges $27 to help with operating costs on the local level. At the Tigard Club June Board meeting, the Board became aware of the fact that the 2021-22 Key Club President, Marlene Wilson, wants to join our Kiwanis club while she is attending Portland Community College for the next two years. The college Welcome Marlene Wilson does not have a Circle K, and Marlene wants to continue her Kiwanis Family commitment while she is there. The Board generously voted to pay the other fees associated with being a member of our Kiwanis club. On October 1st, when the new Kiwanis year starts, we are delighted to announce that the average age of our club membership will now plummet, plummet, (a little)! Marlene has agreed to be the Assistant Key Club Advisor, and she is also eager to join us in many of our other service projects! Welcome, Marlene!

Eager to put Covid behind us, most Kiwanis clubs in the Greater Portland Division are now returning to in-person fundraisers and Interclubs! Here are three examples of recent activities sponsored by other clubs, in which we have participated!

Seven of us showed up for the Interclub with Cedar Hills where we were fortunate to hear District Attorney Kevin Barton speak. Did you know… that each month, because the County Jail serves a growing population, large numbers of criminals are released back into the world-at-large, not having completed their sentences? Why? …because there isn’t enough room in the jail to house those who have been newly convicted! The D.A.’s speech was extremely interesting!

Cedar Hills – Interclub

EVERY member is invited to choose upcoming events to support. Regardless of how busy you may be, we hope you will be able to fill some time with Kiwanis awesomeness!

Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp!

There are few places where individuals with developmental disabilities can spend an entire week joyfully focusing on their abilities. For almost 90 years, Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp has offered one of the largest programs in the U.S. for 600 campers ages 5 and up, at their fully accessible 22-acre campsite in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Ht. Hood Kiwanis Camp helps EMPOWER youth and adults with cognitive, developmental, and physical disabilities. Thank you for supporting this magical place!

The Walk, Roll, or Stroll is the Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp’s second largest fundraiser. It helps support the daily operations of the camp. Currently, it costs MHKC $3,550 to accommodate a camper for a stay. MHKC only charges campers $1,300, in order to honor the pledge to keep the camp as affordable as possible for families.

The proceeds from this event allow MHKC to continue to positively impact camper’s lives!

Are you worried about fundraising for the Walk Roll Stroll?

The Tigard Kiwanis Club has “got your back”! All you have to do to help our club reach its goal, is to come to our August 31st GAME PARTY! Yes, that is what you read… come to a party! We are asking each person who attends to pay a $20 donation for the cause, when entering the door. The best part is that you get a meal and a fun evening for that price!

Plus, game winners will receive prizes! It’s a WIN/WIN choice.

News from LTG Susie Meyer KIWANIS ANNOUNCES THE JUNE/JULY MAGAZINE DIGITAL ONLY! (Check it out at this link): https://www.kiwanis.org/news/kiwanis-magazine Questions to Ask Ourselves and Suggestions for Improving Any Club

1. At a Board meeting take time to ask ourselves …

What do our members want from their Kiwanis club experience? When is the most convenient time to meet?

Would members rather meet completely online? What service projects appeal to our members?

2. Are we hosting enough social events outside of meeting time? Clubs thrive when members have fun.

Get together for a dinner or a movie. Plan an adventure. Have fun off the Kiwanis clock.

3. Do we value and respect all members’ opinions?

Sometimes the same members seem to have all the ideas. But maybe they’re just the ones most comfortable speaking up. Make it a point to hear from everyone.

4. Do we offer many service project opportunities?

Hard labor isn’t for everyone. Do we vary our projects?

Offer one new project a month? Divide and conquer?

Not everyone has to work every event.

5. Do we make club activities meaningful and relevant?

Does our club know what our community really needs?

If not, our service might go unnoticed. Take advantage of Kiwanis’ Achieving Club Excellence (ACE) tools to ensure your programs and services address what your community needs. For more information visit: kiwanis.org/acetools.

When was the last time you checked out the PNW Kiwanis Builder Magazine?

The current issue is chock full of membership tips to help grow a club… and of course, it has a LOT of information about the upcoming DCON. Here it is:

Registration closes on August 15th

LTG Susie asks… “Does your club have a

Here is the link: https://www.kiwanispnw.org/districtconvention.html

Vision Statement? And when was the last time you updated it?”

Suggested activities for an upcoming Board meeting include: 1. Creating… or checking out the club’s current Vision Statement to help members clarify their goals and strengthen their commitment to the club 2. Using a Kiwanis Community Assessment Tool to analyze a club’s effectiveness in their progress towards achieving their club vision.

Back-to-School Service Ideas

Message from Bob Munger on KDCCP

Do a Back-to-School Supplies Drive

We have been given permission to have division representatives to the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children's Cancer Program. That person would be a liaison between the KDCCP Board of Directors and the division clubs. Please consider this valuable opportunity to be the pulse in your club for KDCCP! It’s a chance to better connect our clubs with the KDCCP mission.

Contact Bob Munger at: robtmunger@gmail.com

Be sure to contact either a particular school or a school district to ASK them what they want. Also ask what date they want items to be delivered. Please do not assume!

Do a Book Drive Make it a drive with drop-off barrels in high-traffic locations, asking for new or slightly used books. Find a community partner. Know where the books will be used and put that in the advertisements.

Participate in a SMART reading program You’ll need to connect with a particular school and follow their volunteer procedures.

Check out Reading is Fundamental There is an array of suggested reading lists, readaloud videos, reading logs, puzzles, coloring pages, word searches and more that are free online resources that could be used in volunteering with children.

The date is set but some of the details are still to be determined!

Connecting Assisting with the Good Neighbor Center Kiwanis Project

By Jet Nguyen Volunteering at the Good Neighbor Center for my first time was an amazing opportunity, and I am very grateful to have worked together with the Kiwanis and the Kiwanis Advisor Assistant preparing a meal for 20+ people! It was very fulfilling to be able to make a direct impact in a community, while having fun as well! I am looking forward to future opportunities with the Good Neighbor Center!

By Marlene Wilson Volunteering at the Good Neighbor Center is greatly rewarding, and each time I have helped was at very different points in my relationship with with Key Club.

In it fact, wasof one the volunteer first volunteer opportunities I up Key Club.

In fact, wasitone theoffirst opportunities I signed signed up Ifor I was a freshman.

While I still have a lot to learn about the GNC and volunteering as-a-whole, I am greatly looking forward to it, alongside starting college in these upcoming months.
