A BABY'S HUG

I WANTED TO SHARE A STORY THAT TOOK PLACE AROUND A

THANKSGIVING, WITH YOU FOLKS BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW A KINDNESS

CAN CHANGE THE LIFE OF THE RECEIVER AND THE GIVER.

We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Eric in a highchair and

noticed everyone was quietly sitting and talking. Suddenly, Eric squealed with glee and

said, "HI". He wriggled and giggled with merriment. I looked around and saw the source of

his merriment. It was a man whose pants were baggy, and his toes poked out of his shoes.

His shirt was dirty, and his hair was uncombed and unwashed. We were too far from him to

smell, but I was sure he smelled. His hands waved and flapped on loose wrists.

"Hi there, baby. Hi there, big boy. I see ya, buster" the man said to Eric. My husband and

I exchanged looks. 'What do we do?' The old geezer was creating a nuisance with my

beautiful baby. Our meal came and the man began shouting from across the restaurant, "Do

ya patty cake? Do you peek-a-boo? Hey, look he knows peek-a-boo. Nobody thought the

old man was cute. He was obviously drunk. We ate in silence; all except for Eric, who was

running through his repertoire for the admiring skid row bum who reciprocated with his

comments.

We finally finished our meal and headed for the door. The old man was between me and

the door. I tried to sidestep him but Eric leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in a

baby's "pick me up" position. Before I could stop him, Eric had propelled himself into the

man's arms.

Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love and

kinship. Eric in an act of total trust, love, and submission laid his tiny head upon the man's

ragged shoulder. The man's eyes closed and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged

hands full of grime, pain, and hard labor, cradled my baby's bottom and stroked his back.

No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time. He pried Eric from his chest,

lovingly and longingly, as though he were in pain and thanked me for the special gift my

Baby give him.

As Kiwanians we serve our Children. As we do so, there are many lessons we can learn

from them.

Be excited in your service, enjoy the experience, have fun, and you'll be surprised how

much you can grow as a person.

Thank You for what each and every one of you Kiwanians do for our Children.

Governor Barbara Mullins

UTAH – IDAHO DISTRICT

The Utah-Idaho District came into existence as of

December 16 of the same year. By mutual agreement,

ratified by the International Board, the panhandle of Idaho

consisting of 10 counties north of the Salmon River was

added to the Pacific Northwest District in July of 1925.

The Utah-Idaho District’s first convention was in Salt Lake

City on December 16, 1920.

At that session, Herbert Van Damn, Jr. was elected

governor at a convention in his home city. The first club in

the district was Salt Lake City, completed October 10,

1918. The second club was Pocatello, Idaho, on August 5,

1920, and the third club was Boise, Idaho on August 10,

1920.

THE KIWANIS MISSION

Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by

making lasting differences in the lives of children.

THE KIWANIS VISION

Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide

– so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that

believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they

need to thrive.

THE OBJECTS OF KIWANIS

The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were

approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 Convention in.

Denver, Colorado. Through the succeeding decades, they have

remained unchanged.

Object 1 - To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather

than to the material values of life.

Object 2 - To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in

all human relationships.

Object 3 - To promote the adoption and the application of

higher social, business, and professional standards.

Object 4 - To develop, by precept and example, a more

intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

Object 5 - To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical

means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service,

and to build better communities.

Object 6 - To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound

public opinion and high idealism which make possible the

increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.

NOT JUST SERVICE. IMPACT. Stan Soderstrom, Kiwanis International Executive Director

June 13, 2019 https://www.kiwanis.org/news/newsitem/news/newsitem/not-just-service-

impact?_zs=1KHge1&_zl=aqTv5

Kiwanis is often called a “community service organization.” That’s understandable

— every year, thousands of our members do millions of hours of service in their

communities.

So, you might be surprised to learn that I don’t care for that term. It’s not because I

don’t appreciate service, or the people who do it. And it’s not just because

“community service” can have an unfortunate connotation (though it’s undeniably a

term people associate with sentences for criminal misdemeanors.)

Ultimately, though, I don’t like the phrase because it sells volunteers short. It can

even prevent them from developing a larger vision.

After all, what do people in Kiwanis clubs — and in Rotary clubs, Lions clubs and

many others — really do at their best?

They make an impact. And that’s a bigger, more enduring thing.

In fact, it’s why I prefer to think of Kiwanis as a “community impact organization.”

If you only think in the short term, the concept of service can be reduced to a task.

It’s picking up trash by the side of the road. Or it’s mowing the lawn of an elderly

person in the neighborhood. Good things, of course — but also temporary.

For me, this points to an important aspect of leadership: clarity about what people do

and why it matters. Kiwanis is a community impact organization because it’s a part

of communities’ ongoing improvement. For that reason, it can also be a key part of

people’s lives — and from an early age. To sponsor a youth sports league or team,

for example, is to be part of the life lessons such participation brings. To teach a

child to read and love books is to help create important habits that will be useful for

a lifetime. .

Kiwanis members know this. Those who support youth programs develop enduring

leadership skills. Working with Key Club, for instance, they mentor high school

students in ways that will resonate in the years that come after — whether it’s at a

university, in military service or in the early years of career and family.

Kiwanians influence the direction of people’s lives. Sometimes they change the

trajectory of a life altogether. In the long run, they provide a lasting inspiration —

the kind that moves neighborhoods, organizations and communities.

Now that’s true impact.

All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel

those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the

future; and hence we often make troublesome changes

without amendment, and frequently for the worse.

- Benjamin Franklin

Laws alone cannot secure freedom of expression; in order

that every man present his views without penalty there must

be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

- Albert Einstein

INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION DELEGATES

ELECT MANCUSO VICE PRESIDENT,

INCLUDE NONDISCRIMINATION CLAUSE INTO BYLAWS JUN 28, 2019

Daniel Vigneron, Howald, Luxembourg, was elected president and Art Riley,

Westminster, Maryland, USA, was elected president-elect of Kiwanis International

at the 104th Annual Kiwanis International Convention at Walt Disney Resort® in

Orlando. Peter J. Mancuso, North Bellmore, New York, USA, was elected vice

president. All begin their new terms on October 1, 2019.

Trustees elected for the United States and Pacific Canada Region are:

• Gary “Coop” Cooper, Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA

• David W. Hurrelbrink, Kansas City, Kansas, USA

• Cathy Szymanski, Erie, Pennsylvania, USA

5he Cheng Lian “Lian” from Changkat Jong, Malaysia, was elected during the Asia-

Pacific convention in March to represent the Asia-Pacific Region as a Kiwanis

International trustee. Cheng Lian 5he passed away June 27. A replacement will be

appointed according to the Kiwanis International bylaws.

The Kiwanis International-European Federation held its convention this past month

and elected Gunnsteinn Björnsson from Sauðárkrókur, Iceland, to represent the

Europe Region.

Delegates approved a Safe Kids resolution proposed by the Kiwanis International

Board. The resolution puts into writing something all Kiwanians believe: All

children deserve to be safe.

Delegates overwhelmingly approved an amendment to add a nondiscrimination

clause, which was revised to include prohibiting discrimination based on age or sex

including sexual orientation and gender identity into the Kiwanis International

Bylaws. The amendment was submitted by the Kiwanis Club of East Geauga, Ohio,

USA.

A second proposed amendment, which was submitted by the

Michigan District Board, would have allowed delegates to

abstain from voting for the complete number of trustee offices

to be filled. The amendment failed.

A new requirement for vice president, submitted by the

Kiwanis Club of Venice, Florida, USA, would have required

Kiwanis International trustees to have at least a one-year

absence from the Kiwanis International Board before

subsequently serving in the offices of vice president,

president-elect, or president. The amendment failed.

An amendment calling for a new trustee seat for a member

under the age of 50, submitted by the Kiwanis Club of

Springfield-Downtown, Illinois, USA, was withdrawn. Its

purpose was to establish a new seat on the Kiwanis

International Board to be held by a person who is age 50 or

under at the time of election.

A Family Membership Status amendment, submitted by the Pacific Northwest

District and co-sponsored by the New England and Bermuda District Board, the

Ohio District Board, the Southwest District Board, the Texas-Oklahoma District

Board and the Kiwanis Club of North Brunswick, North Carolina, USA, failed. The

amendment would have permanently adopted a new family membership status that

provides a 50% discount on Kiwanis International dues and fees for qualifying

members.

During the House of Delegates session, Kiwanis International Executive Director

Stan Soderstrom challenged convention delegates to think beyond service and

consider as well Kiwanis clubs’ long-term impact.

“Service is picking up trash at a park,” Soderstrom said. “Doing a good deed for an

elderly person in your neighborhood. These are good things — but temporary things.

That’s why I’d like to challenge us to think of Kiwanis not as a community-service

organization — but a community impact organization. It’s impact that helps make us

a part of people’s lives from an early age.”

Examples of Kiwanis service with impact include:

• Service Leadership Programs where club members mentor kids, serve as

examples and help youth develop skills that will last a lifetime. Youth

programs also prompt students to begin their own journey of service and

impact.

• The Eliminate Project that has reduced by half the number of yearly deaths

from MNT since Kiwanis joined the effort in 2010.

• Our Iodine Deficiency Disorders success with 86 percent of the world’s

population now having access to iodized table salt, decreasing these disorders

among vulnerable populations.

Soderstrom challenged clubs to add magic to their clubs after the 2019 convention at

Walt Disney World® Resort. Clubs, he said, should feel the inspiration, imagination

and creativity associated with impacting children.

Vigneron has been a member of the Kiwanis Club of Vielsalm in Belgium for more

than 32 years. He served twice as club president and once as governor of the

Belgium-Luxembourg District. He also served as Kiwanis International-European

Federation president and is a former Kiwanis International trustee.

Riley began as a

member of Key Club

and has continued as a

member of the Kiwanis

Club of Westminster,

Maryland, for 39 years.

Additionally, he is a

member of the

Centennial Internet

Club and the Kiwanis

Club of State Line,

Maryland. Riley’s

leadership has been

demonstrated as a Key Club lieutenant governor and numerous positions within the

Capital District, for which he served as governor in 2007-08.

During his tenure on the Kiwanis International Board, Riley was counselor to 12

Kiwanis districts and traveled to more than 30 districts. Additionally, he and his

wife, Vickie, participated in a site visit to Cambodia for The Eliminate Project.

GENERAL

The purchase of commercial insurance is frequently the first choice as a method for

providing financial protection against accidental losses. However, there are a

number of alternative methods of protection which can also be used to protect your

local club, Kiwanis International and your commercial general liability insurance

program from unnecessary lawsuits. The following paragraphs outline several of

these alternative methods, each of which is available to Kiwanis International

and its member clubs. The guiding principle behind all of these alternatives is the

transfer of exposure to loss and/or payment of loss from Kiwanis International and

the local club to others, whether they are facility or service providers (property

owners, contractors, subcontractors, promoters, performers) or participants.

STANDARD CONTRACT

Clubs frequently use facility and service providers in the course of fundraising and

service activities. Such situations can present a substantial exposure to loss. The

guiding principle here should be the transfer of loss exposure to the provider of

the facilities or the person performing the activity from which the exposure arises.

We suggest member clubs consult with a local attorney to develop a standard

contract which requires the outside provider of facilities or services to assume all

liability arising from the event. The contract or agreement should be

in writing and should include the following provisions:

230. A hold-harmless provision whereby the operator/provider/performer

agrees to hold Kiwanis International and its member clubs harmless from any

and all claims for liability for bodily injury or death resulting from the event,

or for damage

to property of others which might arise from the event.

2. The operator/provider/performer should be required to furnish the Kiwanis club,

as the event sponsor, prior to the event, evidence of liability insurance to cover any

claim that might arise, with a combined single limit of not less than US$1 million

per occurrence bodily injury and property damage. Such evidence shall be in the

form of a standard certificate of insurance

3. The certificate of insurance issued by the operator/provider/performer

should show Kiwanis International and your local club named as additional insureds

on the general liability insurance policy.

4. The certificate of insurance should indicate that the insurance covers all premises

and operations that will be involved in the event, as well as products liability

insurance for any equipment to be furnished or any food products or services sold by

the operator during the event.

5. Finally, be certain the certificate indicates that 30 days prior written notice of

cancellation or material change in the insurance is provided to Kiwanis International

and your club, and that this obligation is a firm obligation of the insurance company

issuing the certificate.

HYLANT CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE

As noted above, it is essential to obtain certificates of insurance when conducting an

event that utilizes facilities or services provided by outsiders. These certificates

should be reviewed to determine validity, coverage, exclusions and limits of liability.

Any deficiencies such as expired coverage and/or exclusion of performed activities

and/or insufficient limits of liability may result in Kiwanis International and your

club absorbing an unnecessary loss. The bargaining power of Kiwanis

International should allow effective contractual transfer through the use of standard

contracts and certificates of insurance.

WAIVER OF RESPONSIBILITY

Another method of transferring your exposure to loss is the use of a waiver of

responsibility. In consideration for the opportunity to attend or participate in a

Kiwanis-sponsored event, the participant/attendee signs a waiver of responsibility

form, which constitutes an informed relinquishing of the known legal right to sue

Kiwanis International. As a result of the execution of this form, Kiwanis

International has had a potential liability and exposure to loss minimized. This

approach should be used for any event that involves participants, such as foot races,

motor vehicles races of any type, sporting events, air shows, etc.

HOLD-HARMLESS AGREEMENTS

This method is a contractual commitment whereby a facilities/service provider,

participant or attendee agrees to hold Kiwanis International and your club harmless,

and thus provide payment for losses that occur as a result of activities specified

by the contract. The hold-harmless agreement is normally incorporated into the body

of a standard contract and/or the waiver of responsibility. When this type of

arrangement is used, it is imperative that a certificate of insurance be obtained

from the service provider evidencing general liability coverage including contractual

liability in order to be certain that the hold-harmless agreement is properly insured.

GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

The purchase of commercial general liability insurance is a prime example of the

contractual transfer of liability for payment of losses. In consideration of the

premium paid, the insurer is obligated to pay claims on behalf of Kiwanis

International after the occurrence of specified losses. This coverage is our primary

line of defense, but by using the methods outlined above, we can effectively reduce

our potential for loss and thereby prevent our own insurance from being subjected

to unnecessary liability insurance claims.

The combined effects of the use of standard contracts that clearly define

responsibility/liability, certificates of insurance, waivers of responsibility and hold-

harmless agreements aid in the process of shifting exposure/liability from

Kiwanis International to the appropriate parties generating the risk. It is equally

important that Kiwanians not sign contracts, waivers or hold-harmless agreements

that result in the assumption of liability by their club or by Kiwanis International. It is

understood that this is not always possible, but as a general rule, such assumptions of

liability should be avoided whenever possible. The use of the techniques

outlined above will allow the insurance protection afforded to Kiwanis International

and its member clubs by the insurer to function properly. As a result, Kiwanis

International can proactively control exposure to loss, and thereby control

long-term insurance and loss costs.

HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE AFFIRMATION AND

LIABILITY RELEASE FORM

FOR GENERAL LIABILITY CLAIMS

Since 1972, Kiwanis International has provided a program of general liability

insurance for its local clubs and their members. The purpose of this insurance is to

protect Kiwanis clubs against claims for bodily injury or property damage caused by

the negligence or the wrongful actions of a club member during a Kiwanis activity or

event.

However, because of the highly litigious nature of our society, claims have been

filed, in the past, against Kiwanis clubs for simple accidents that occur during an

event even though the accident was not in any way caused by Kiwanis. Certainly

if someone is injured due to the negligence of a Kiwanian, Kiwanis should be held

accountable, but frivolous claims have been filed under this insurance for accidents

incurred for which no one is to blame.

After many years of study and working with the insurance company to resolve this

problem, the Kiwanis Board of Trustees, together with the Kiwanis insurance

advisor and legal counsel, is recommending to all local clubs the use of a Waiver of

Liability form.

The purpose of this form is to require people to take responsibility for their own

actions and to assume the risk of foreseeable injuries when they voluntarily

participate in a Kiwanis event. We are requesting that every local club ask each

participant in an athletic event to sign a Waiver of Liability. The forms should be

retained, on file, by your club for a period of two years following the event. This

form is designed to cover participatory events such as:

1. Marathon or 10K races

2. Basketball, football, and various leagues and tournaments

3. Bike-A-Thon and Walk-A-Thon events

4. Tennis and golf tournaments

5. Baseball leagues and tournaments

Kiwanis has determined that there is a foreseeable risk of injury as a participant (not

a spectator) in these types of athletic events and that this risk should not be borne by

Kiwanis as sponsor, but by the participant.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

FILING REQUIREMENTS AND FORMS (https://www.kiwanis.org/clubs/member-resources/training/club-leader/club-treasurer-

education/irs-forms)

ARTHUR “ART” RILEY KIWANIS CLUB OF WESTMINSTER

KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT

Arthur “Art” Riley of Westminster, Maryland was

elected to a one-year term as president-elect at the

104th Annual Kiwanis International Convention in

Orlando, Florida, USA in June 2019.

Art’s dedication to Kiwanis began in 1956 during

travel with his father to the International

Convention in San Francisco, California. That

experience gave him an initial view of the Kiwanis

world which resulted in his involvement in many

Kiwanis activities. Official service began as a

member of Key Club and has continued as a

member of the Kiwanis Club of Westminster,

Maryland, for 39 years, serving in many leadership

positions. Additionally, he is a member of the

Centennial Internet Club and the Kiwanis Club of State Line, Maryland. Art’s

leadership has been demonstrated as a Key Club lieutenant governor and numerous

positions within the Capital District, culminating as governor in 2007-2008.

During his tenure on the Kiwanis International Board, Art has served as counselor to

12 Kiwanis districts and traveled to more than 30 districts. Additionally, Art and his

wife, Vickie, participated in a site visit for The Eliminate Project to Cambodia in

conjunction with UNICEF. Serving on Board committees has resulted in a passion

for recognizing and fulfilling the Kiwanis mission of serving children, strengthening

Kiwanis through expanded service and partnership development, improving the

Kiwanis image worldwide and expanding international understanding.

For the 2018-19 administrative year, he serves as Chair of the Board of Directors of

the Kiwanis Youth Programs Inc., chair of the Board Committee on Public

Relations, Image and Marketing, and member of the Executive Committee and

Board Committee on Membership and Education. He is also a member of the Board

of Trustees of the Kiwanis Children’s Fund.

Professionally, outside of Kiwanis, Art has practiced pharmacy and successfully

managed pharmacy practices for more than 45 years. His family pride focuses on his

For the Kiwanis family of clubs in the United States and Canada, Kiwanis

International has an insurance program that provides two policies: commercial

general liability and directors and officers insurance. All clubs are automatically

covered under both policies. No action is required.

The general liability policy provides coverage for bodily injury and property damage

incurred by third parties participating in club events. The provisions apply to most

normal liability exposures of Kiwanis-family clubs. The standard commercial

general liability policy contains the standard exclusions for this type of insurance.

The directors and officers policy helps cover the impact of any poor decisions made

by the club or its board. Examples include employment practices liability (including

accusations of discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination),

allegations of mismanagement of funds, failure to enforce bylaws and violation of

state/provincial and federal bylaws.

YOUR CLUB’S SAFETY COORDINATOR

A club can also help protect its members by making safety and risk management a

general part of club operations. One key step is the appointment of a member as club

safety coordinator. This person would be involved in all of the club’s event planning,

specifically to address participant safety.

Many clubs have members with experience in the insurance industry and/or legal

profession. Because of these members’ familiarity with potential club liability, they

should receive primary consideration for the position. Kiwanis International suggests

the club include the following duties for the safety coordinator:

• Understand the general liability and directors and officers insurance program.

(Information can be found in the You Are Covered sections of this guide.)

• Take steps to inform your club about the insurance, including:

- Basics of coverage, including what is and is not covered

- Why liability insurance is important for the club

- Involvement in club activities to determine how to eliminate hazards or

transfer risk

- Working with members to ensure that events are hazard-free

- Reports of any potential claims and details of the incident

- Education regarding risk management techniques and proper claim

handling

RESOURCE MATERIALS

The safety coordinator should consult the Club Insurance Resource Guide. The

guide provides information on the insurance program and will help carry out the

position’s responsibilities. The guide also is available online at www.

KiwanisOne.org/liability.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk exists in all Kiwanis-family activities. The safety coordinator should analyze

basic risk factors and determine those that can be managed. Club events and

activities that present a higher risk—and therefore should be closely monitored—

include those in which an outside individual, firm or organization presents the event,

furnishes equipment or sells products or services. (Examples: carnivals, circuses,

rodeos, sporting events, air shows, and demolition derbies.) For such events,

the outside individual or firm involved should assume all liability arising from their

activities.

To ensure mutual understanding of this liability, all contracts or agreements should

be in writing and include:

• A hold-harmless provision whereby the operator holds Kiwanis and its

members harmless as to any and all claims for injury or death and for damage

to the property of others which might arise from the event.

• Language stipulating that prior to the event, the operator will provide to

Kiwanis evidence of insurance coverage via a certificate of insurance, with a

limit of at least US$1 million for bodily injury and property damage,

including premises, operations and products exposures. The certificate should

name the Kiwanis club and Kiwanis International as additional insureds.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT: USE OF NON-OWNED PREMISES

Nearly all clubs and districts regularly use third-party premises for Kiwanis-family

events. The owner may be legally responsible for the safety of its location, but the

safety coordinator should look for potential hazards. For example:

• Overcrowding of meeting rooms

• Inadequate or poorly marked fire exits

• Extension cords located to create trip and fall hazards

• Inadequate lighting

• Outdoor locations in which the footing is uneven or hazardous

• Food service that exposes the public to hot cooking or serving equipment

• Insufficient sanitation for food preparation

• Wet flooring

These are common occurrences in many Kiwanis-family activities—but the list is by

no means complete. To ensure thoroughness, all premises used should be inspected

periodically.

CLAIM REPORTING

All potential claims must be reported to the insurance carrier.

The safety coordinator should obtain all details related to the

claim. Pertinent details include:

• Date, time and place

• Name and address of injured party or person whose property was damaged

• Extent of injury or damage as it may appear at the time

• Name(s) and address(es) of witness(es)

• A brief statement of circumstances, (e.g., what happened, how it happened)

• Photographs of damage, if possible

All claims should be reported—no matter how minor they may seem. The insurance

carrier is the best judge of the merits of claims, and it should have the opportunity to

investigate and evaluate each occurrence.

HERE’S A SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL STEPS FOR

THE SAFETY COORDINATOR:

1. Be familiar with the liability insurance program.

2. Educate your club.

3. Be involved in planning of activities and events.

4. Look for potential hazards.

5. Transfer risk to others wherever possible through a hold-harmless agreement,

and request insurance certificates to ensure the financial responsibility of the

party or firm who agrees to hold Kiwanis harmless.

6. Report incidents promptly and completely.

7. Remember: the insurance is there to protect your club.

Extending your Kiwanis impact

A gift to the Kiwanis Children's Fund helps children in many places, in many

ways. For the Kiwanis family, the Children's Fund is a way of reaching children

through grants, scholarship programs and Kiwanis youth programs.

Kiwanis Children’s Fund Mission statement:

To develop resources that transform the goodwill and vision of Kiwanians into

programs that serve the children of the world.

YOUTH PROTECTION WEEK

Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of those we serve—and of

the Kiwanians who serve them. That’s why Kiwanis International annually presents

Youth Protection Week.

Youth Protection Week occurs every September. During the week, all Kiwanis clubs

should review the Kiwanis youth protection training and evaluate how well they’re

adhering to the Youth Protection Guidelines. It’s particularly important to know the

updated policy for criminal history background checks.

Education

Train members on youth protection at that week’s Kiwanis club meeting. After

completing the training, you and your club members should be able to:

• Understand the Youth Protection Guidelines.

• Identify troubling behavior or abuse.

• Respond appropriately if a child discloses abuse to you or if you witness

troubling behavior.

Visit kiwanis.org/youthprotection to find all of resources to lead a training and much

more! Kiwanis members can also access the online version of the training to review

it on their own time.

Once the training is completed for the Kiwanis year, the Kiwanis secretary should

indicate this on the reporting dashboard.

Your club’s efforts during Youth Protection Week are important to the commitment

that all Kiwanians must share. Thank you for protecting young people—and the

Kiwanians who work with them. You’re strengthening the Kiwanis family’s

continuing status as a leader in building the next generation of service.

ABOUT THE KIWANIS CHILDREN'S FUND

Kids need Kiwanis, and the Kiwanis Children's

Fund helps you reach them -- amplifying your

impact in communities around the world.

We provide grants for Kiwanis Service Leadership

Programs, club and district service projects,

disaster relief, and the elimination of maternal and

neonatal tetanus as well as iodine deficiency

disorders.

We are a trusted partner, staffed by experts. We know how to turn money into

something much more meaningful.

Our name

To better reflect our mission of serving children, the Kiwanis International

Foundation changed its name to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund in October 2016. Our

new name better conveys the purpose of our organization: We serve children. And it

describes how: We raise funds to support Kiwanis initiatives.

Our history

It began with 25 silver dollars. That’s the donation

that Walter Zeller made in 1940—the first in our

history, one year after our foundation had been

established.

But there was a larger idea behind Zeller’s gift:

Inspire fellow Kiwanians to build on that donation.

And they did—with an auction that eventually turned that first contribution into

US$625.

Our foundation’s members have been inspiring each other ever since.

Today, we are known as the Kiwanis Children's Fund because we turn your

generosity into projects that reach children all over the world. Kiwanis members,

clubs and districts have entrusted us with multiple millions of dollars’ worth of

assets. These assets provide stability to our work and support us in providing

financial assistance that helps Kiwanians serve children, from the U.S. to India to

Poland, and many places in between. Maybe even in your hometown.

Kiwanis Children’s Fund Impact

We help make remarkable things happen for kids and communities around the world.

Kids need Kiwanis, and the Kiwanis Children's Fund helps you reach them—

amplifying your impact in communities around the world. We are a trusted partner,

staffed by experts. We know how to turn money into something much more

meaningful.

We provide grants for disaster relief, Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs, club

and district service projects, and the elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus as

well as iodine deficiency disorders.

Service Leadership Programs

We're helping build a stronger generation of leaders and service volunteers.

You know that the Kiwanis family includes

Kiwanis clubs. But it also includes members of

every age and ability -- from elementary school

students to adults with disabilities. These

members are part of Service Leadership

Programs. We support the strategic plans and

initiatives of Kiwanis' Service Leadership

Programs.

Club and district service projects

We help clubs and districts fulfill the unmet

needs of children in their communities.

Many communities struggle to meet all the

needs of children. We provide grants for

Kiwanis-led service projects that focus on

health, education and youth leadership

development.

Disaster Relief

We make sure that when disaster strikes, the Kiwanis family can respond.

Our simple application process makes it easy

for clubs or districts to get disaster relief

funding promptly. While others are forced to

wait for funding and aid, Kiwanis clubs and

districts can hit the ground running. They are

often part of the community that has been

struck — and better able to assess the most

urgent needs of children and families affected.

The Eliminate Project

We are eliminating a painful, preventable disease that kills mothers and babies

around the world.

In 2010, we teamed up with UNICEF to

eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus

(MNT) from the face of the Earth. Once we

eliminate MNT in the remaining countries,

where thousands of babies still die each year,

we will sustain our efforts so that it never

returns.

Iodine Deficiency Disorders

We saw a mental health problem that could be prevented, so we did it.

Kiwanis teamed up with UNICEF in 1994 to address the leading preventable cause

of mental disabilities — iodine deficiency. To

date we've helped raise more than US$100

million to give millions of children the chance

to live healthy, happy and productive lives. We

continue to sustain these efforts worldwide

today.

GEORGE F. HIXSON FELLOWSHIP

In 1983, the Kiwanis Children's Fund established the George

F. Hixson Fellowship. Named for Kiwanis International’s

first president, Hixson Fellowships are awarded to donors

who give US$1,000 or more to the Children's Fund.* It’s a

way of recognizing people who have contributed

significantly to Kiwanis’ history of generosity. In fact, clubs

and Kiwanians often give in honor of another person or

organization—recognizing others’ help and commitment

with a Hixson Fellowship.

Consider making a gift today toward a George F. Hixson

Fellowship for yourself or to honor someone else with one.

Become a Diamond Level

If a Hixson Fellow gives, or is recognized by, a second

US$1,000 donation, they will receive a diamond pin and a

special tab to affix to the lapel pin. Additional US$1,000

gifts are recognized with sequentially numbered tabs to

signify the diamond level achieved.

George F. Hixson Fellow Club

Any Kiwanis club in which

all dues-paying members are

George F. Hixson Fellows

will be recognized as a 100%

George F. Hixson Fellow

Club. Recognition will be

based on September 30

certified membership as

determined by Kiwanis

International. Let the

Children's Fund know if your

club is a George F. Hixson

Fellow Club.

*This award is available for

all unrestricted gifts made to the Kiwanis Children's Fund

within any one-year period. This award is not available for

gifts made to other special programs like The Eliminate

Project. The award must be requested within one year of

completing the gift.

There is no other way to give to so

many areas—to touch the lives of so

many children and communities—

and in so many different ways than

by giving a Gift of Today. Gifts of

Today come to the Kiwanis

Children's Fund from individuals,

clubs and other entities. These gifts

are the backbone of our organization.

Through consistent yearly gifts, one

person, one club and one

contribution at a time, Kiwanians

extend their impact to the children of

the world.

The Today Club program honors

clubs that achieve a minimum per-

member giving level from active

dues-paying members during the

Kiwanis administrative year, which

runs from October 1 through

September 30. Gifts of Today from

clubs, individuals and other entities

to the Kiwanis Children's Fund will

be counted in determining per-

member giving. The per-member

giving level for clubs is based on the

September 30 membership certified

by Kiwanis International.

Clubs can reach one of these per-

member giving levels by making an

unrestricted gift to the Children's

Fund. Whether it’s club gifts or

individual gifts, any Gift of Today

will be counted toward your club’s

per-member giving average.

These club recognitions are awarded

annually at the end of the Kiwanis

year. Eligible clubs will be

determined by the Kiwanis

Children's Fund. There are four

recognition levels: Blue, Silver, Gold

and Diamond. To achieve one of

these four levels, clubs must reach

the following per-member giving

average:

• Blue, US$10

• Silver, US$25

• Gold, US$50

• Diamond, US$100

Today the Kiwanis Club of Nampa had

two guest speakers, Canyon County

Sheriff Kieran Donahue and Ysabel

Bilbao, who spoke about the upcoming

Canyon County jail bond election. The

focus of the speakers was to educate the

group as to some of the facts about the

current jail system and what is being

proposed. The election will be May 21,

2019, with the bond amount set at

$187,000,000. The repayment term

would be 20 years, and at an estimated

interest rate of 3.47%. The cost to a

property owner is estimated to be

$94.43 per $100,000 of taxable property

value. The bond would allow for the

construction of a 1055 bed facility. This

would be an increase from the 477 current capacity, which is comprised of three

facilities – the 1948 Jail Annex, the 1991 Dale G. Haile Detention Center, and the

2006 Tent facility. For more information please go to

CanyonCo.org/JailEducation.

The Concerned Citizens of Canyon

County Committee spoke at the Kiwanis

Club of Nampa luncheon on Thursday.

Ron Harriman, founder of the

committee, presented an informational

guide and explanation as to why the

organization is opposing the Canyon

County Jail Bond that will be on the

ballet May 21st.

Mr. Harriman explained they believe

there are other options that could be

explored when dealing with the jail

situation that would be less expensive,

less taxing, at yet still meet the needs of

a growing community. Items discussed

included the size of jail needed, mental

health alternatives and support, as well

as location. For more information Mr.

Harriman can be contacted at:

Representative Rick Youngblood

The Kiwanis Club of Nampa welcomed

as guest speaker, District 12

Representative Rick Youngblood.

Representative Youngblood discussed

his background in private business as

well as his career in banking.

He explained how his experience as a

Highway District Commissioner helped

with his transition to a State

Representative. The Representative

gave the group

information with regard to how Bills are introduced and the relationship of

committees, Senate, and the House, and the process to becoming law. He provided

numbers related to the volume of items, on both sides, that are worked on during

the course of the term. Between the House and Senate, a total of 588 bills were

considered in only 91 days, which was actually the third longest session of record.

Being a native Idahoan has served Representative Youngblood well as he deals

with items of transportation, appropriations, and serving as Vice-Chair of

the Joint Finance & Appropriations Committee (JFAC).

CLUB NEWS (Continued)

On Thursday, 4/18, the Kiwanis Club of

Nampa was happy to have Jerry Fergusson,

owner of Crescent Brewery in Nampa, as

guest speaker. Jerry discussed the history

of the Crescent Brewery, which takes its

name from one of the founding businesses

in Nampa. The original Crescent Brewery

was built in 1906, opening in 1907. The

brewery, and its flagship product Overland

Beer, did well until Prohibition. During

Prohibition the Crescent Brewery switched

Fergusson, Mark Hilty (President)

to “near beer” products and sarsaparilla to survive. The brewery went back to

brewing after the end of Prohibition, in 1933, until closing in 1950. The original

brewery building was tore down in 1966. Today, the Crescent Brewery is in a

facility located underneath the 16th Ave overpass and has been operating for 10

years. Jerry now boasts 17 beers, which has something for everybody. There is a

tap room, outside patio, a kitchen is in the works, and tours are available. There is

often live entertainment with everything from bands to comedians…and don’t

forget the free popcorn. Jerry is proud to be a family run business, supporting

downtown Nampa and he sources as many of his supplies and ingredients as

possible locally.

THERALD C BECKSTRAND 1931-2019

Therald C Beckstrand, 88, passed away Saturday, June 8, 2019 in Orem, Utah. Therald was

born at home in Meadow, Utah on February 26, 1931 to Joseph Clifton and Laura Swallow

Beckstrand. He attended elementary school in Meadow and secondary school at Millard

High School in Fillmore, Utah.

After graduating high school one year early, Therald attended BYU for two years, prior to

serving a church mission in Hawaii. Following his mission, he married Joan Hardman in

the Salt Lake Temple on January 28, 1953. One week after their wedding, Therald reported

for duty in the Air Force, where he served in ground radio communications in the Korean

Conflict.

Therald earned a B.A. and M.A. degree from BYU. He taught in the Church Education

System for 33 years. Following Joan’s death in 1997, Therald married Verla Sneddon on

Therald loved his Heavenly Father and Savior. He faithfully served in many church

callings, including the Bishopric, Stake High Counsel, and Branch Presidency. He also

served a mission with his wife, Verla, in Kentucky.

Nothing held more importance to Therald than his testimony and his family. In his final weeks, his singular expressions

were of love and gratitude for his family, friends, and Heavenly Father.

Therald is survived by his wife, Verla, sons, Kennan T., Mark Todd (Shelley), Neal Jay (Kristi), and daughter, Pam

Beckstrand; eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren; Verla’s children: Paula (Jerry) Allred, Lori (Dennis) Stinger,

THE PRESIDENT'S CHALLENGE

The President’s Challenge is issued each year by the Kiwanis Children’s Fund president. It challenges district

Children’s Fund within each club, division and district.

To meet the President’s Challenge during their term, district governors, secretaries and chairs must help their district

meet the following criteria. Lieutenant governors must meet the same criteria within their division.

• 50 percent club participation. At least 50 percent of the clubs in the district (or division for lieutenant governors) must

make an unrestricted gift to the Children’s Fund.

• A 10 percent increase in giving. Total unrestricted club giving must increase by 10 percent within the district (or

division for lieutenant governors). This is based on an average of the previous three administrative years.

• Minimum total giving. For district governors, secretaries and chairs, the district’s total unrestricted club giving must

reach a minimum of US$2,000. For lieutenant governors, the division’s total unrestricted club giving must reach a

minimum of US$750.

Each year, those who meet the challenge are recognized with a personal gift of appreciation from the Kiwanis

Children’s Fund president.
