LETTER FROM THE LTG Hello Red Pandas!

With only two months left in the term, I want to ask you all to keep working as hard as you can so we can end the term with a BANG. I know we have not been very active in the past month, and I truly do apologize for this. However, it's time that we all get back on track and get ready for all the new opportunities coming up! Remember, district contests, scholarships, club elections, and so much more are coming up very soon. It is up to YOU to do everything you can to support both the club you serve, and the division.

With your help we will be able to end the term in a way no one will forget. Also, don't forget to congratulate our new D46N LTG Elect Mia Hargrave if you haven't already! With her in charge, I can guarantee that next year will be just as good, if not better, than this one, so look forward to all the amazing things she'll do! With that, I want to say thank you again red pandas for being truly the best and most supporting division I can ask for, and I hope you will all continue to climb the bamboo stick of service!

LETTER FROM THE DNE Hello hello hello Red Pandas!

It’s finally February, which means the approach of my favorite holiday: Valentine’s Day! When people think Valentine’s Day, they tend to think of chocolate, roases, stuffed animals, and big romantic gestures. When other people think of Valentine’s Day, they think of being lonely and single. But I think both sides fail to remember the very root of Valentine’s Day: Love. Not just for significant other, but for your family, your friends, and the people around you. Celebrate your loved ones, keep them close. Show how much you love them, with a gift, or a hug, or even just a thank you. The power of love is stronger than you might believe. Practice love, kindness and compassion in your everyday life, and spread the love to your community.

Remember volunteer work is so much more than service, it’s love and compassion in action. How will you spread love in your community this month? Don’t forget our motto, Caring— our way of life. Embrace and work love in your life, your work, and your service, it’s so worthwhile, and it enriches your life in ways you can hardly imagine. I love my friends, my family, my community, and I love my division. Let love in this month. I’ll see you next month, Division 46 North.

UNIVERSITY OF PACIFIC CRAFTS DAY

8

At the University of Pacific Crafts Day, we were invited by members of the UOP Key Club to take part in a craft day aimed at helping the homeless population of the Central Valley. We made meal bags, no sew blankets, cards of encouragement, school supply bags, and little candy jars for the kids, all to be distributed to the local homeless shelters. This event was incredibly fun due to the opportunity to serve alongside members of D46N, D26N, D26S, 7N, 7S, and Sapphire KIWINS, as well as Circle K members from the area as well! Being able to join together as one Kiwanis family really enriched our scope of just how many people care about service outside of our scope, and how we can extend out love of service beyond high school and incorporate it into our lives.

Spotlight on Service:

24

Kiwanis Foundation!

Following the completion of its main mission, the NIFP was rebranded as March of Dimes, with a new focus: preventing birth defects and infant mortality. Through generous funding and assistance from the U.S. public, March of Dimes has been tremendously successful in discovering the genetic causes of birth defects, promoting newborn screening for health concerns, educating medical professionals about healthy pregnancy procedures, and much more. With these things in mind, it’s abundantly clear why the Cali-Nev-Ha District has chosen to partner with March of Dimes, in hopes of bettering the lives of infants across the United States. To learn more about hoe you can help, find the Spotlight on Service guide on the CNH Cyberkey!
