Mahmooooo’s Message

As we reel-in the current Kiwa-nis year, and get ready for an-other exciting new Kiwanis year of service under the lead-ership of our President Elect Victoria Davidson, lets all make a pledge to remain excited and get more involved so we may increase our positive impact on our communities and the lives of our youth. Our Thanks to Victoria for her forward think-ing and getting the Member Satisfaction, Community Needs Analysis, and Club Meeting Re-structurings surveys out to all

our members. This is a great opportunity for all us to voice our opinions and shape the future of the club which best suits us, and better serves our community. If you have not already responded to these surveys we encourage you to do so quickly. Your feedback is important, we want to know what's on your mind, and how you think we can improve on the good we already do. Our Installation Dinner where we will install our new Presi-dent Victoria Davidson is scheduled for September 27. This is one event where all of us should be in attendance to show our support and con-vey our confidence to Victoria as she assumes her responsibil-ities as our fearless leader. We

are certain we will have a su-perb year under her leader-ship, and we want to thank her for her service and for making herself available and keeping to maintain the succession which our club has enjoyed for many years. Lets think ahead and each of us look into our availability to serve as a Club Officer or a Board Member in the coming years.

Remember to serve, and al-ways serve with a smile.

Our meeting, to order at 7:00 AM by El Presidente. Dave Wallach led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, re-minding us all to keep our troops and all those who have sacrificed in order for us to enjoy our freedom and liberty. Lon Salgren led the patriotic song, his choice “Oh Beautiful”. El Presi-dente requested everyone to look at the flag while singing and not at him. Da-vid Malkin a “Labor Day” invocation. Club members

in attendance were Charlie Huff, Grace Chan, Izzeldin Osman, Kathy Young, Victo-ria Davidson, Lon Salgren, David Malkin, Dave Wal-lach, and Anna Wu. We had a great number of guests at our meeting; in fact they almost equaled the number of members in attendance. Our guest in attendance Austin An, Vice President Wilson Key Club who was introduces by Dave Wallach. Our guest speaker Clem Calvillo and

his associate Mathew Hud-son (spelled with one ‘t’) by David Malkin. David men-tioned he was happy to introduce Mathew because David’s son is named Mathew also, and he spells his name with one ‘t’ as well. Lon Salgren intro-duced our guest Ransom Murray of “Angels with Blue Jeans”. Anna Wu intro-duced her guests Dillie (Eddie) Yan, and Daniel Song from Golden Spark Labs, our potential new

corporate members. Victo-ria Davidson in her melodic voice led us in our “Welcome Song”. Another of Anna’s guests Tony Tseng joined us and Anna introduced him, and led us in singing of our “Welcome Song” for a second time. We acknowledged three birth-days, Keith Banes (09/05), Norma Manning (09/07), and Lon Salgren (09/09). Dave Wallach led us in the singing of the “Happy Birth-day” song. We thanked

Dave Wallach & Lon Salgren for their help with he KIWIN’S DCM, Park Clean Up and PTP fundrais-er. Lon pulled our cooking rig to Cortez Park and set it up. Dave cooked hamburg-ers for about 50 kids. All had a great time. We also thanked Lon Salgren, Dave Wallach, Victoria Davidson, Anna Wu, Grace & Steven for their help at the Steinmetz Park Health Fair. Our club members Kathy Young, Dave Wallach, Lon Salgren, and Susan Jacklin were acknowledged and thanked for their help with four successful inter-clubs.

We visited Sierra Madre, Glendora, Duarte, and El Monte clubs. Lon Salgren sold the “Split the Pot” tickets; a winning ticket was pulled by Justin declaring Lon as the winner of $100.00 ($10.00) Kiwanis Dollars. Kathy Young per-formed the pin & badge checks, and helped collect cans for Del Haven. Kathy Young pulling double duty circulated our donation cans. We collected $4.00 for Children’s Hospital, $2.00 for Relay for Life, and $24.00 for ELIMINATE. A total of $28.00 was contrib-uted by generous members

for Happy/Sad dollars. The “No Fines Badge” was up for grabs for the last time this year. Dave & Lon par-ticipated in the bidding which pursued, and Dave took the badge home with his high bid of $20.00 as El Presidente reluctantly handed it over to him (El Presidente was the holder of the badge last month). El Preidente was Mr. K, and reported that everyone was friendly but two of mem-bers failed to shake his hand. El Presidente citing the “Honor System” invited the unnamed members to contribute to one of our

donation cans. Hmm! we wonder who they were and if they did! In the true spirit of giving and having fun Victoria Davidson stood up and made a donation to the “Relay For Life” for arriving to the meeting after the bell had been rung. Thank You Victoria! El Presidente rang the bell at 8:30 AM, at which time the meeting was adjourned as we sang “Hail to Kiwanis”. Thank you all for attending our meeting and making it fun.

We visited Sierra Madre, El Monte, Glen-dora (twice), Duarte, Monrovia, and West Covina where we joined them for their Installation Dinner and their very first evening meeting. Our Thanks to Kathy Young for scheduling these Inter-Clubs and joining Dave Wallach, Lon Salgren, Su-san Jacklin, Victoria Davidson, and Nancy Bashir for success-fully completing them. Special Thanks go out to Kathy, Lon, Dave, and Susan for attending most of the. Thank You for your dedication and willingness to see our club shine and com-plete one of its goals for the year. These Inter-Clubs are fun, we encourage all our members to attend one before the end of September. If you don't recall that you have attended one or not, please ask Kathy and she will be more than glad to check her records and let you know. There are plenty of op-portunities in the coming few weeks as many clubs have their Installation Dinners coming up. You can help our club com-plete its goal of a "Super Round Robin" by attending. We need all of our members to attend at least one Inter-Club this year in order to reach this very simple and basic goal. Be a team player, make yourself available and join us for fun, camaraderie, and a sense of achievement.
