WELCOME

INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT Dear Cal-Nev-Ha KIWIN'S Key Clubbers, Have you ever thought about what it means to be a Key Clubber?

You are someone who puts others before yourself. You care about your world and the people living in it. You are making a better life for others. You are changing your community, and, together, we are changing the world. I think that is why I love Key Club so much. Obviously, Key Club means something to you, too, if you are here this weekend. For that, I thank you. Our organization wouldn’t be what it is without you and our 270,000 members throughout the world who are selfless and passionate. As your International President, I have worked tirelessly with our 12 International Board Members and countless leaders in 33 Districts to make sure that your Key Club is successful. The club level is the most important level of Key Club International, and our goal is always to better our clubs. International is here, and will always be here, to help you. With that said, I am always available if you have questions. My job is to serve you, and I will continue to do so until the end of my term. Hopefully, we will see you at our International Convention in Indianapolis in June 2015! We have a goal of 2,000 attendees, and, with stellar entertainment and the endless experiences available for you and your club, it won’t disappoint. Prepare for the best week of your life! On behalf of Key Club International, I would like to, again, thank you for your commitment to our organization and its mission – to change the world. I am so proud to be a part of this organization by your side.

Yours in service,

WELCOME

The culmination of the KIWIN’S year is finally here: the KIWIN’S District Convention! This is when we celebrate service, learn about leadership, make friendships that last a lifetime and – of course – have fun while doing everything. On behalf of the 2014-15 District Board, welcome to the 2015 CNH KIWIN’S District Convention in Woodland Hills! This is a time where KIWIN’S comes together to celebrate the many goals that we completed and the people we have served. Your never-ending service and dedication has been phenomenal. This weekend, KIWINNERS from all across the district will gather together and celebrate a year of service with their Ohana. Throughout this weekend, there will be opportunities to be recognized for your outstanding achievements, expand your KIWIN’S knowledge, and share ideas, projects, and experiences with hundreds of other KIWIN’S members. The 2015 District Convention theme, “You’ve Got Mail! KIWIN’S Delivering World Class Service” which was chosen to honor the 100-year anniversary of Kiwanis! I’m so happy you’re all here to celebrate a year of service to your home, school, and community with the entire KIWIN’S District! I attended my first District Convention in 2013 as a sophomore with small goals and ambitions. I left convention that weekend with not only post-DCONsyndrome, but also a newfound sense of inspiration that has expanded my dreams limitlessly. Past KIWIN’S members and every one of you that I have met has shaped or inspired me in enormous ways. KIWINNER’S, I hope you have a special experience this weekend as we celebrate the impact that you made on your home, school, and community. I can’t wait to meet all of you this weekend. Congratulations on all your achievements!

Hello, Cal-Nev-Ha KIWIN’S!

DISTRICT GOVERNOR

DISTRICT SECRETARY Hello KIWIN’S, I remember just a year ago, I was scrambling around at DCON, wanting to prove to everyone that I was ready to become the next District Secretary. I was prepared to fulfill all the duties required within my position and I was so ready to use what I could do to make KIWIN'S have the best year. However, what I did not see coming was so much that I would learn from this experience as a whole.

In all honesty, being a part of District Board took a lot of strenuous effort and work, and of course there were times of breakdowns. But I can truly say that the experience was all worth it because I learned that when people care about something so much, it can drive them to do some pretty awesome things. For instance, look at how strong our District was this year. We fought through struggles and encouraged one another to bring ourselves back onto our feet. The members and the adults were our biggest supporters and I am so grateful to be a part of an organization that consists of these type of people. Obstacles are always difficult to overcome, but the fact that we as an entire District was able to move forward was remarkable to witness. It was an experience that really proved how strong and passionate KIWIN'S is. I think that it's truly amazing to see how fast twelve months of my term just slid by. Those twelve months consisted of my emotions, my work, my pride, and my joy. KIWIN'S will always remain a of me, and it will continually remind me to be a servant towards the people I encounter. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to be a part of such a humbling experience and I hope that you all can continue to leave behind new legacies every year. Kiwanis hit its 100th anniversary of service just this year, so I hope that our generation can be the next ones to step up to that level. Whether it be by taking leadership roles, or even by being a devoted member, I encourage all of you to be proactive and exemplify what we're all about: family and service. Thank you to the Kiwanis adults, thank you to District Board, and of course, thank you to all the members that made this year happen. I wish all the best for you in the upcoming year.

Love always, In caring and service,

Jennifer Ngo 2014-15 KIWIN’S District Governor ..................................................................... 3

WELCOME

Welcome to District Convention 2015! As we reach the end of the service year, I hope each of you has accomplished something special and unique during your KIWIN’S experience. Whether it be reaching 50 hours of service, taking that risk to further your leadership. or hosting more fundraisers for the Eliminate Project, there definitely is something worth celebrating. You, yes you, are the testament of the success that KIWIN’S has achieved over the course of this year; YOU have served and impacted your home, school, and community through your dedication to service and your fervent passion for this organization. As a freshman, I came to my first District Convention in Woodland Hills with wide eyes and curiosity about what KIWIN’S stood for. Little did I know that four years later, I would grow to love KIWIN’S this much. I came back home that Sunday realizing that my life had changed; the friends I met, the memories I made, and the stories I heard had opened my eyes to a whole world of service. With a renewed sense of motivation, I made it a goal that one day I would be able to say I made a difference on someone’s life. District Convention is more than just a weekend-long celebration— it serves as a reminder of all the reasons why we joined KIWIN’S, all the reasons why we stayed, all the obstacles that we overcame, and all the success that we achieved. KIWIN’S would not be the same district if it were not for you and your unswerving devotion to service within the Kiwanis Family. This weekend, I am confident that you will have the time of your life. Cheer your hearts out. Attend workshops. Cherish every moment you spend with your Ohana. I hope that you will be inspired to serve just as I was four years ago. Whether it be your first or last convention, I hope that you will able to bring something valuable back home so that you can deliver world class service to your community. Continue the passion and remember to keep KIWIN’S close to your heart wherever you go.

DISTRICT TREASURER

DISTRICT BULLETIN EDITOR Hello KIWIN’S! I cannot believe it is already time for DCON! To all those returning, ready for another awesomeconvention? To those that are first timers, welcome!! You’re in for an experience of a lifetime.

This weekend, all the different divisions of KIWIN’S join together as one, big ohana. There are fun, crafty workshops, informative ones that guide future leaders, and ice breakers! It's the time to learn more about our district and what it stands for, and the power of 500 people cheering. It marks the end of the KIWIN’S year, and for some, the end of their time in high school. It’s also a time of renewal. The said graduates are moving on to a completely different school, possibly very far away from home, and some of us just starting their new positions of leadership. It's also a time to look back, and see all that you have achieved so far. It's the time to remember the good times, the struggles, and the service you have put into this year. I recall the surprise I felt when KIWINNER’S from all sorts of divisions greeted each other like old friends. Now, I understand that the kind of bond you establish at this event is incredible and everlasting. I hope all of you cherish the memories you create here, and wish you the best of luck in your pursuits.

Best regards,

Jay Park 2014-15 KIWIN’S District Bulletin Editor

WELCOME

Xin chào! Hello, KIWIN’S Ohana! Thank you all for gathering here in Woodland Hills, California. This weekend is a time for cheering, learning, and serving while reflecting on the past outstanding year. Together we will raise money for the Eliminate Project and create new memories that we will carry on with us forever. This year’s DCON theme, “You’ve Got Mail! KIWIN’S Delivering World Class Service,” impels us to take what we learn at convention everywhere we go. What you learn this weekend can be carried with you for the rest of your life, so don’t miss a moment! Your District Board All-Stars has worked extremely hard on putting this convention together. We all look forward to helping you grow and achieve new heights in your lives. From special guests to workshops, utilize what is provided to learn all about being a leader and serving your community. In addition, this weekend is also a time for electing the new leaders of the district while celebrating those who are retiring. Good luck to everyone who applied for awards and good luck to all candidates! It was an honor serving as your Key Leader Ambassador and District Convention Chair for this past term. As a senior, I am able to look back on my career with this amazing district with a sentiment of joy and satisfaction. District Convention is the largest event of the year and it would not be possible without you, the members, supporting the Board along the way. KIWIN’S is a resilient, spirited, service-oriented organization that I have had the pleasure serving for the past year. I personally hope you all enjoy this convention and remember it as one of the most fun events you have ever attended. Thank you again for attending the Cal-Nev-Ha KIWIN’S Key Club District Convention 2015. I look forward to meeting you all, hearing your fantastic KIWIN’S enthusiasm, and listening to your stories of service. As the 2014-15 KIWIN’S District Convention Chair, I welcome you all to KIWIN’S District Convention 2015!

DISTRICT CONVENTION CHAIR

INTERNATIONAL TRUSTEE

You’ve got mail, California-NevadaHawaii KIWIN’S Key Clubbers! Welcome to the annual District Convention! We’re finally here; I’m sure you all have been counting down the days since last April. I’m proud to say that after a productive year of caring for our homes, schools, and communities, we are finally here. This weekend is sure to be a blast, and let me assure you, you all deserve this. Take this weekend as an opportunity to celebrate this year’s accomplishments, prepare for the upcoming year, and meet friends who share the same life’s passion as you. While District Convention should be focused on summing up the past year, more importantly, it should prepare us for the new one, whether that be through workshops, officer training, or elections for next year’s District officers (governor, secretary, treasurer, and editor). For veteran attendees, enjoy this weekend because it’ll be over before you know it. For novices, get ready for one of the most novel, yet best experiences of your lifetime. For all of you, take this time to step outside of your comfort zone, and meet new Key Clubbers. Doing so will make this experience more meaningful for you. Finally, I’d like to say thank you all for the effort you’ve dedicated to this organization throughout this past year. Without your hard work and commitment, the KIWIN’S District wouldn’t have progressed nearly as much as it did. For all of those contributions, thank you. You have made a meaningful impact on not only this district, but all of Key Club International, and more than that, on the entire community. It has been such an honor to work with such a passionate, enthusiastic, and devoted group of individuals. After a life-changing term as Trustee to such an excellent district of Key Club International, I can’t wait to meet you all this weekend. Moreover, I hope to see you all again in Indianapolis, Indiana for Kiwanis’ 100th anniversary at the 2015 International Convention. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! We are Ohana.

Yours in service,

Tashrima Hossain 2014-15 Key Club International Trustee ..................................................................... 8

DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR

WELCOME

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 39 Annual KIWIN’S District Convention in Woodland Hills. “You’ve Got Mail! KIWIN’S Delivering World Class Service.” Each year we have the pleasure to meet at our district convention to celebrate our accomplishments, honor our best, elect our new district officers, learn some things to improve our clubs, meet new people, and party. I hope you follow the rules, enjoy all the convention has to offer, make some new friends, and elect the best officers to lead the organization into the future. As many of you may know I will be stepping down as your District Administrator at the end of this convention. I wanted to take this time to thank you, the KIWIN’S family: the club and district board members and officers, the faculty and Kiwanis advisors, my incredibly dedicated committee of Kiwanis Regional Advisors, the other District Administrators, and the Kiwanis Governors who showed their faith in me. It has been my honor to serve as your District Administrator. I would be remiss if I did not thank the District office staff, Bruce Hennings, Pete Horton, and the CNH Foundation for their dedication and support of this program and to me. You have truly made my job easier. Have a wonderful time and enjoy all the convention has to offer. Your District Board has worked very hard to provide the best convention experience possible.
