Your ClubMakes Our Mission

A Reality!


There is a lot to cover in this issue of the Builder, so I’ll get right to it. First, thank you so very much to everyone who attended, helped out and/or planned the 2020 Mid-Winter Conference “It’s All About Your Club” the end of February in Yakima. I had an amazing time and heard some very complimentary words about the conference. I hope everyone took at least one new idea home. Kudos to everyone involved!

The annual conventions of our Service Leadership Partners were scheduled for March, however the Covid-19 virus put a damper on the attendance at the CKI convention in Issaquah and caused the complete cancellation of the Key Club convention in Portland. I want to welcome and congratulate our new CKI Governor, Shane Petrus from WSU and his officer team and our new Key Club Governor Callia Thornton from Coeur d’Alene High School and her officer team.

Also, huge thanks and congratulations to Governors Mia Munoz and Justin Englund for a great year and an amazing job!

So, Spring is the time to move forward to the ALL NEW Club Excellence Retreats (CER) around the District. As I described in my latest Melanie’s Musings to the clubs, we are working to offer the CERs virtually in June and July. The dates and registration materials will be posted to the District website as soon as we get them decided. My goal is to have many members from each club participate in the new Retreats in order to help your club achieve its Club Excellence goals. I’m sure you will find they are jam-packed with information to help clubs grow, do projects and fundraising, re-engage in your communities, help your members move into leadership roles and just plain have fun with each other! We had very good conversations with the Division Lt. Governors in Yakima about how to move forward with the District realignment. The Pacific Proud team decided to take a “less is more” approach to the realignment, which will result in fewer changes to clubs within Divisions but work on the areas that must have some changes made to work well. They sent Alignment Chair Dr. Mike Wilson back to work with the committee on some specific changes in certain areas of the District. There’s more to come as we move forward with this important work. We plan to complete the work by the District convention.

It has been very exciting to see all the increases in membership over the first five months of this year, but we have slowed down and now we lag behind where we need to be in order to build our clubs and see growth in our membership at year-end. Many clubs and individuals have really embraced our Membership Is Priority #1 theme and we need many more to join in. Soon you will hear about a new International and District effort to help grow our clubs…something about ‘March to May for Membership’ or something like that; It doesn’t have a name yet. Please join me in working REALLY HARD on this --- our future depends on it and your membership team stands ready to help; just ask! As I said last August, if every member brings in just one member this year…we’d be 13,000+ strong! Wow!

Before I close, I want to mention again the two conventions coming up in June and August. The decisions for whether the conventions are held will be announced as soon as possible. The International convention is very important to our District to pass the Family Membership Plan and elect our Past Governor Roger Bell as International Trustee. And, last, I enthusiastically invite you to a fabulous and fun District convention in Kennewick in August. Governor-elect Lonnie has some great educational opportunities for all members and the Magical Masquerade Governor’s Banquet will truly be a fabulous evening! I will expand on the other offerings, such as Melanie’s Mingle, Topic Tables and more in future weekly Musings to the clubs, so stay tuned!

Thanks so very much for your support and engagement in our fantastic organization! And remember, always be KIWANIS PROUD!

WOW! Where does the time go? This new position certainly fills up your time, to say the least. That being said, I am thoroughly enjoying this new adventure that I have embarked upon. It has its’ challenges, to be sure, but it is definitely an eye-opening experience. One of the things I cherish the most is the support I have received from some very solid Kiwanians.

Moving on…

My next task is to formulate the education at this year’s Lt. Governors Training. There are some things that will remain unchanged, but there are opportunities to improve, too. The most important aspect I want to stress this year is to give your division

leadership the tools to do their jobs effectively. I will try my utmost to meet that mark.

There is a tool that has been sitting, unused and valuable, for far too long. A group spearheaded by the Past Governors group has compiled an updated Lt. Governors Handbook that has been distributed to the current Lt. Governors. This will continue to be given to the new Lt. Governors. It contains some simplified instructions that are far more relevant and pertinent to today’s leadership. Did I mention, “simplified”? In addition, at the recent Mid-Winter Conference, the District Board approved a change in policies and procedures that alters the Lt. Governor reimbursement funding. What it provides, in essence, is an additional avenue to assist Lt. Governors in doing their jobs. Apparently, the reimbursement fund has only been partially utilized in recent years. We have now set aside a portion of the unused part to be utilized by those Lt. Governors who are struggling financially to achieve their goals. The additional funding will be available to those who have managed to make their visits, complete their reports, etc. The additional funding requests and reimbursements will be kept in strictest confidence. I believe that no Kiwanis member who chooses to step up to leadership, in whatever role, should be unnecessarily burdened by additional expenses.

Another duty I have is the education portion of our upcoming District Convention on August 20-23, 2020, in Kennewick. Some of it, in my opinion, is a slam-dunk. A considerable portion of the Learning Tracks will be hearing from our Service Leadership Partners. I am excited to hear from them every time I get the opportunity. Unfortunately, this years’ Key Club District Convention was cancelled, due to concerns over the Corona virus. In my opinion, District Key Club Administrator Brian Egger did the right thing to cancel the convention. Leave it to Brian to be thinking on behalf of the youth, not even mentioning the parents of those young folks, in the event something goes horribly wrong. Anyway, I digress…

I’m always available if there is something you want to talk about. Don’t be shy. I look forward to seeing you all as the year progresses.

To paraphrase Will Rogers: Going to a new club, meeting new Kiwanians, is just new friends I haven’t met yet.

As Governor Melanie says: Always remember to be Kiwanis Proud!

The 2020 Mid-Winter Conference in Yakima, WashingtonThe 2020 Pacific Northwest District (PNW) 2020 Mid-Winter Conference was held on Friday, February 28 through Sunday, March 1 at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Yakima, Washington. The theme for this year’s exciting conference was “It’s All About Your Club”.

There were three tracks of learning sessions during the weekend. They were: Building and Strengthening Your Club, Increasing Membership in Your Club, and Improving Leadership in Your Club.

Following Friday dinner an interactive activity called “Stump the Governors” was enjoyed by all.

Saturday began with an Opening Session lead by Governor Bozak. Then the learning tracks continued with three sessions each to choose from.

A special Service Leadership Partners (SLP) session for all attendees to participate in was held on Saturday following lunch. Then the Club Excellence Retreat Planning Session was held for the Lt. Governors to begin their planning. The other members had the opportunity to attend a Video/Pod Casting/Blogging Session to learn the basics of each of these communication tools and how to implement them in their own Club or Division.

That evening began with a no-host cocktail hour followed by a dinner with a special speaker Rusty Hunt who used the lessons of a pencil to inspire and share insights into leadership growth. The evening concluded with a reception by PNW Bigfoot Brigade in Support of the candidacy of Roger Bell for International Trustee.

On Sunday the PNW District Kiwanis Board Meeting was held.

For most of us, seeing a pandemic is a new and perhaps a scary thing. We’re being told to keep our distance from others and avoid groups. We hear “experts” who tell us different things and we watch politicians who can’t stop playing politics by telling us that the other side is responsible for this crisis. People are working from home, others are now unemployed, our investments have tanked, and the entire world is affected. Yet this is a time when we should take a deep breath and realize what’s next.

This virus will have a vaccine developed to protect us from it, and in weeks or months life will return to a more normal fashion. As leaders, we need to be thinking of what is next before we get there. How do we have a positive effect now and what direction will we move toward when this crisis is over?

First, we can find ways to continue our service while we are following the directions of our elected officials. Those with the skills can sit at their sewing machines and make face masks for those that must deal with the public in essential businesses. We can check up on our neighbors and friends and provide what help we can. Perhaps touching base with those you’ve not talked to lately, a phone call, email, or an ecard just to let another know you are thinking of them.

As a Kiwanis leader, are you touching base with your club members? Do they know you are concerned about them and care enough to take a little time to let them know? Are you demonstrating your leadership by looking after the welfare of your fellow members while protecting them to the best of your ability?

There will be members who will be feeling isolated, and there will be others who will embrace new technologies to remain connected even while maintaining their self-imposed physical isolation. How will you as a club deal with the challenges and opportunities that this crisis will present.

The question of what you’re going to do when the virus isn’t a frightening invisible foe should be a part of your thoughts. Without meetings, without fund-raising events and without our public service activities we aren’t recruiting new members and it is difficult to engage our current members. Are you going to wait until the virus retreats or are you going to start shooting emails back and forth within your club —developing plans to grow your club?

The act of engaging your members in creating a plan allows each of them to contribute their ideas in a positive way. It doesn’t matter how small or large your plans become. The important thing is to band together. Explore each possibility and realize that this is a new experience for everyone, there is no “we’ve always done it this way” to hinder you.

Use all the wonders of the modern world to stay in touch and to create a plan of how you and your club will deal with the aftermath of this terrible situation. It is a trait of Kiwanis members to look for solutions and then turn dreams into reality.

The Bylaws of the Pacific Northwest District of Kiwanis International establish a requirement for the District Secretary to issue a call to the Annual District Convention. This notice is published to satisfy this requirement.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Northwest District of Kiwanis International, I hereby issue this call to the 103rd Annual Convention of the Pacific Northwest District. The Convention will be held in Kennewick, Washington during the period of August 20-23, 2020. Each chartered club, in good standing in the District, shall be entitled to three (3) delegates, two of whom should be the President and President-elect. Each club may choose one alternate for each delegate. The forms for the certification of delegates and alternates will be available to download from the Events tab > District Convention choice on the Pacific Northwest Kiwanis District website: http://kiwanispnw.org/district-convention.html The District website will also have full registration and housing information for the convention when it is available. The purpose of the District Convention is: to elect officers for the coming administrative year; consider amendments to the Bylaws; adopt resolutions; provide education and training; and conduct any other business as may properly come before the delegate body. Clubs who wish to propose amendments to the District Bylaws, and/or resolutions, must have them in the hands of the District Secretary at least sixty (60) days prior to the convention (June 21, 2020) in order for them to be considered by the House of Delegates in 2020. Our Convention Committee has been working hard to insure that we have a successful District Convention as well as a fun and exciting weekend. We sincerely hope that all clubs in the Pacific Northwest District will be represented by at least one delegate.

CLUB GIFTS FOR 2019-2020 Many thanks go out to these 32 PNW District Kiwanis Clubs (or their foundations) that have contributed to the Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation this 2019-2020 year; on average $253 each! As of February 3rd, they include:

10/29/19 Kiwanis Club of Edmonds $100 Kiwanis Club of St. Helens $400 Kiwanis Club of Pullman $850 Kiwanis Club of Cedar Hills $250 Kiwanis Club of Anacortes $1,000 Kiwanis Club of Woodburn $500 Snoqualmie Val. Kiwanis Club $250 Winthrop Kiwanis Club $245 12/03/19 Pendleton Kiwanis Club $150 Cascadia Kiwanis $100 Kiwanis Club of Corvallis Sunrisers $110 Kiwanis Club of Bellingham Foundation $165 Kiwanis Club of Tacoma $400 12/19/19 Lynnwood Kiwanis Foundation $50 Echo Kiwanis Foundation $150 Kiwanis Club of Montavilla $100 The Dalles Kiwanis Club $220 Kiwanis Club of Kent $150 Kiwanis Club of Meridian – Kent $125 Kiwanis Club of Covington $100 Kiwanis Club of the Valley $250 Kiwanis Club of Kent-AM $270 Kiwanis Club of Auburn $250 Kiwanis Club of Federal Way $335 Kiwanis Club of Renton $100 Kiwanis Club of BD-MV $200 01/21/20 Kiwanis Club of Oliver $500 Kiwanis Club of Duncan $100 02/03/20 West Valley Kiwanis $85 Gig Harbor Kiwanis Club $235 Kiwanis Club of North Thurston $215 West Seattle Kiwanis $46 Where does your club fit in this tally? It is not too late for your club to contribute. If every one of the 269 PNWDK clubs gave a minimum average of $100, like most of these have, the Foundation would gain $26,900! But like above, if there was a club average district wide of $250/club, the grand total would be $67,250!!! Our 2020 Vision was “to have a sustainable $1,000,000 fund”. Technically through January, we are there at $1,121,722 but $47,244 are Outreach Funds and $85,248 is the Building Note balance. That means the main managed fund for grants and scholarships is only at $946,734 so let’s take it over $1,000,000 in 2020. No gift is too small to grow our investments. Please help us out with a club gift, especially for this 35th Anniversary year!

Write your check now payable to the “Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation”. Mail the check to: PNW Kiwanis Foundation, 5427 Glen Echo Av., Gladstone, OR 97027 Find information about the PNWKF at http://www.pnwkiwanisfoundation.org.


Teen Suicide Prevention and Education in Puyallup, WashingtonThe Puyallup Police Department (PPD) and the Puyallup School District (PSD), along with several community partners, brought Kevin Hines, an internationally recognized speaker on suicide and its prevention, to Puyallup to speak on teen suicide. Mr. Hines spoke (a) to students at all three comprehensive senior high schools in the district and (b) to 1,100+ community members (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.) at an evening forum in a donated facility at the Washington State Fairgrounds. After each presentation, he stayed after to answer questions until everyone that wanted to talk with him individually had a chance.

The Kiwanis Club of Puyallup, through its foundation and one of its members, provided significant financial support ($15,000) for these events. Club members also set up and took down chairs for the evening forum, served as ushers/hosts and directed cars in the parking lot.

Several things happened as a result of the presentations by Mr. Hines, such as: (1) resources for teens, including suicide hotline and crisis center telephone numbers, are now printed on the back of all ASB cards for every high school student in the PSD, (2) the PSD also committed to training several staff members on how to help teens who are struggling with wellness and mental health difficulties and (3) the Crime Prevention Coordinator within the PPD is currently working with other partners to lead the community coalition in responding to teen suicide and mental health issues on an ongoing basis.

KDCCP Christmas OrnamentsThis is the sixteenth year of the KDCCP ornaments project. The ornaments are hand-blown glass by local artisans.

Again, all proceeds go to KDCCP.

ANNUAL CLUB GIFT Has your Kiwanis Club ever donated to the PNW Kiwanis Foundation? In some Divisions, every club has for many years; while others may have never. By October 15th clubs were to have approved their annual budget; so, did your club have a line item for our foundation? In November, clubs were to pay their invoiced annual dues for which the first quarter is also a good time to make your annual club donation to the PNW Kiwanis Foundation.

Contributions to the Annual Club Gift Campaign at any giving level are appreciated and help make a difference. The suggested giving level of $5.00 or more per member is recommended to help the Foundation meet the purposes for which it was chartered. A lump sum amount of any size works, too. If every Pacific Northwest District Kiwanis Club was to contribute on an annual basis, the PNW Kiwanis Foundation would be able to not only continue and expand its current service but also ensure a legacy of support to children and youth for years to come.

An annual club gift is remembered. When Grants are awarded for Club Projects, they are reviewed on at least these four criteria:

1. Those clubs who apply on time. 2. Those clubs who have their own skin in the game. 3. Those clubs who contributed to the PNWKF in the past and show a current need. 4. Those clubs who line up community partners.

Your contribution helps other clubs achieve a project that needs a boost, that provides scholarships, and funds CKI and Key Club Outreach. Please help us out! Write your check now payable to the “Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation”.

Mail the check to: PNW Kiwanis Foundation, 5427 Glen Echo Av., Gladstone, OR 97027
