Fun FactsFun FactsFun Facts The first Kiwanis club was
organized in Detroit, Michigan, on January 21, 1915. In 1962, worldwide
expansion was approved, and today Kiwanis clubs
are active in every part of the world.
Kiwanis was coined from an American Indian phrase
“Nunc Kee-wanis,” which means, “we trade” or
“we share our talents.”
Kiwanis is one of the few organizations that offers membership to almost all
age groups.
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club,
no matter where in the world it’s located.
No two Kiwanis clubs look exactly the same. Clubs
should reflect their communities and their
members and should work to meet their needs.
Flexibility is key to a
successful club.

Terry Damron provided an update on the Barton Reading program, announced that the 2015-16 student assessments had been completed and that students in the program showed significant improvement.

Dr. Bruce, Elaine and Wes were fined! Chuck Gomer reminded members that the Glendora Education Foundations Annual Food for Thought event takes place on April 29, 2016 and encouraged members to attend.

worked his way up to Acting Assistant Chief of Police before he decided to retire in 2015 so that he could focus on his family, his health and enjoying life.
In closing, President Butler wished Michael La Fond a happy birthday. In the spirit of generosity he an-nounced his desire to share a birthday gift given to him by John Fields with the club….Michael presented members with an empty gift bag…or so we thought….with a little bit of imagination he magically pulled three gifts from the empty bag.

La Shawn Butler President
Rob Voors President Elect
Gene Murabito Treasurer
Robert chaired our Flashback event the first two years and got Kiwanis involvement, and is still a mainstay for Daryl in the event. He was one
of many who took on the Christmas Parade when the JCee’s stepped down. Robert can always be seen helping set up, cook and clean up at our events, including Halloween Carnival, Concerts in the park, and Boxes for the Troops. If there’s a BBQ involved, Robert’s probably involved too!
Here’s the kicker… Robert Davis has attended all DCM meetings since 2009 to help represent our club!! As if that weren’t enough, Robert has been an active civic participant, representing the City of Glendora as a Planning Commissioner for 12 years, and is currently a Board member for the Community Service Foundation. With his son active in sports, his past activities, also involved service with American Little league (where he even mowed the fields!) Then, as his son transitioned to GHS, he was a member of the Football Boosters. Congratulations Robert ! !

the importance of community, and offer services like after-school tutoring programs. Annually, Kiwanis sponsors around 150,000 projects that cover a wide spectrum of services and raise over $100 million for their communities.
Kiwanis International invites clubs to try this. When you love your club, you’ll share that experience and invite others to be part of it. There’s one way
of sharing Kiwanis with people throughout your community: a membership drive. Focus the club’s efforts on inviting potential members to an event
planned just for them. Here’s some ways to make it special:
Utilize invitation to personalize and provide the details for your event Help members share their stories and inspire people to consider Kiwanis
Introduce Kiwanis, its mission and our global impact Incorporate a theme and HAVE FUN!
