From May 25-27, I spent my Memorial Day weekend at a District Board Meeting and had the wonderful chance to meet everyone on the 2012-2013 District Board. These 16 individuals are the most caring people I’ve ever met and even though I have

Hey everyone! I am thrilled to announce that your 2012-2013 District Board “Dream Team” has already come up with the 2013 DCON THEME! I cannot reveal much but I promise you that your 2013 DCON experience will be phenomenal. In the next few weeks, we will launch the DCON Theme Reveal Video courtesy of your new Convention Chair, Edward Kim, from Crystal Division on both the FB Turquoise Division page and Turquoise Division website. CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO FIND OUT!

THE COUNTDOWN TO DCON BEGINS!

From May 25-27, seventeen members of your KIWIN’S District Board gathered at the Rancho Cucamonga KIWIN”S District Office to go over and plan for the 2012-2013 KIWIN’S year! The three day bonanza consisted of long nights , hours of presentations, a deluge of information and advice on how to make KIWIN’S have the best year yet, and of course, lots of DB bonding time. So much was accomplished and I assure you that the 2012-2013 year will be fantastic.

Some decisions that were made include:

Major Emphasis: Live 2 Learn

Minor Emphasis: PTP (Pediatric Trauma Program)

District Emphasis: Project ELIMINATE

For the first time ever, we will not be having a District Project or a Governor’s Project. We will now gear our attention to our major, minor and district emphases so that we will be able to actively promote such worthy causes and give attention to each one instead of having to worry about meeting all five projects as we have done in past years.

May Board also marked a change in forms that will be submitted to the District Your Bulletin Editor, Ashley Lee & District Secretary, Megan McKnelly, have both worked extremely hard on these new ARF & MRF forms that will be implemented as of June 2012. I will go over these forms in more detail at my Divisional OTC but if you have questions about the new forms, email Ashley Lee at kiwinsbulliteneditor1213@gmail.com or Megan McKnelly at kiwinssecretary1213@gmail.com.

THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN “STAMPING OUT HUNGER!” YOU GUYS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

Hunger threatens sixteen percent of all Americans today. That means 1 in 5 children under the age of eighteen plus 4 million seniors go to bed uncertain of

where their next meal may be coming from. The Letter Carrier’s Drive aims to alleviate such devastating hunger. Each year, the second Saturday in May is a day when all citizens have an opportunity, with the help of their letter carrier, to easily donate food to needy families in their community. The drive, the largest one-day food-collection event in the nation, has been a success every year, but particularly staggering, in 2012.

Camarillo KIWIN’S is proud to have lend a helping hand and will continue to support the annual drive.
