Hello, Kiwanians!

Governor Dan Connolly is asking for special help. This is the Annual Kiwanis International Foundation Birthday week, and the Governor is asking clubs in the CalNevHa District that have budgeted an annual gift of $6.00 per member, to send in their contribution before the end of the month of November. Governor Dan has a friendly competition with the Florida District over which District can support the Foundation the most. He says that we have been the leaders for so many years and Florida wants to beat us!! So, let’s send in our donations today and BEAT FLORIDA!!!

The drive for membership is heating up and I hope every club has taken the challenge of doing a Club and Community Analysis, and has mapped out a course of action to increase their membership. Set-ting a goal for the club as well as setting individual goals is the only way we will be successful in increasing our membership!

When Division 42 charters the new KiwanisOnline Club, the Lt. Governor will receive a Dunlap Fellowship. The Governor has agreed that this Fellowship can be used as an incentive in our Division 42 Member-ship Drive. Every Kiwanian who brings in a new member will be put in a drawing to be held at our Division Picnic in August 2009 and the winner will be awarded the Dunlap Fellowship.

There is a lot of Positive Excitement happening in our Division. I welcome your successes as well as any feedback you might have to improve our plans for be-coming Distinguished and the leaders in the CalNevHa District!

All we have to do is A S K!!! Inviting potential members to a service project (we all have many during this holiday sea-son) is the best way to get our guests to see the value of volunteering with us and joining in with our efforts for making a DIF-FERENCE! More hands in our clubs will enable us to better serve the needs in our communities. Join me in inviting a guest tomorrow! You might surprise yourself and sponsor a new member next month.

Good Luck and Best Wishes for wonderful Thanksgiving.

Yours in Kiwanis Service,

Lt. Governor Wes and Lynda

P.S. So far four clubs have contributed to the Lt. Governor Fund and I am patiently waiting for the rest so that I don’t have to borrow funds to keep the "Race Car" running. Thanks in Advance.
