No-Name Sistrict Year in Review Hello everyone! It has been so WUMderful serving your district this year as International Trustee! As we begin transitioning into new sister-district pairings and a new international board, I thought I would share a re-cap of everything our Sister Districts (Capital, Nebraska-Iowa, New England, and WUM -- collectively called the No-Name Sistrict) accomplished this year! 75% of sister districts saw membership growth! 5 new clubs! 7,404 service hours! 31 ELC (International Education and Leadership Conference) Attendees 3 International Board Members from the No-Name Sistrict 10 International Committee and Task Force Members from the No-Name Sistrict 3 Outstanding International Committee Members 1 Emerald Division GEM Award 1 Distinguished Kiwanis Committee Member 2 Distinguished District Chairpersons 1 Distinguished District Secretary 2 Distinguished District Administrators 2 Distinguished District Governors 2 Distinguished Districts 1 Charter of the Year Award 1 New Member of the Year Award You and your clubs contributed to all of these accomplishments - it’s crazy to think of how much you did in a pandemic! You had to reinvent the wheel over and over, and you still managed to see growth and serve your communities. It has been so incredible serving you this year! I loved seeing (and bragging about) all you accomplished , and I know you'll continue serving with the same dedication and passion you've had throughout this past year. This year is going to be challenging and constantly changing, but don't forget that what you're doing is truly impacting your homes, schools, and communities! I can't wait to see you all crush your district and personal goals for the 2021-2022 service year! Please don't hesitate to reach out -- I'm always here to answer any questions that arise. Keep being amazing! Always yours in service, Hannah Spargur hspargur1@gmail.com | (920) 530-2670
