Rocci Barsotti
District Governor, 2018-19
Fellow Kiwanians, Families, Friends and
Guests, I would like to wish you all a very
happy and proseperous New Year. Our
California-Nevada-Hawaii District theme for
2018-2019 is Heart Y
of a Hero. Why,
because I truly believe every Kiwanis
member has the heart of a hero. Kiwanians
make a positive difference in their Community,
our District and in the World. Our District recently
celebrated its 100th birthday on November 15th.
Congratulations to all of you, and lets do everything
we can to make it at least another 100 years so
our grandchildren and their grandchildren
can be a part of the Kiwanis family.
Our Kiwanis International President is Florencio "Poly"
Lat and his goal is to move this organization from
"GOOD TO GREAT". Our CNH District can achieve
GREAT by continuing the momentum of last year's team
and focusing on membership. Moving to Great requires using
the power of ING, as we work on Opening New Clubs, and
Strengthening existing clubs especially those below charter
strength. Most importantly we must focus on CLOSING THE BACK DOOR
giving members a reason to remain Serving in our awesome organization.
We want to make sure that we are always caring about our members, that
we welcome diversity among our membership, and that we are inclusive
making sure each of our members are valued and are given responsibilities.

Kiwanis family, the Children's Fund is a way of

"Together we can
have a greater
impact on the
communities we serve."
The year, 1994. President Pete Horton introduces a resolution making the
Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) the major focus of the Cal-Nev-Ha District of
Kiwanis and the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation. Twenty-five years later, we
have supported Pediatric Trauma departments at six Partner Hospitals, awarded
thousands of PTP grants and trained four Pediatric Emergency Medicine Doctors.
The dream of having a high impact program has blossomed over the years. Our
Key Clubs, KIWIN’S and Circle K’s have taken the program to heart. During this
year’s Key Club Fall Rally South, I thanked our Key Club members for the impact
they are having on the children within our district. Spontaneously, the entire
group of Key Clubbers started chanting “PTP…PTP…PTP…” The chant lasted
five plus minutes. It left me speechless. These kids really get it.
Do our Kiwanis members get it? Absolutely! Every year, Kiwanians
conduct countless PTP projects aimed at keeping our children
safe and out of harms way. They also support us along with our
Service Leadership Program students, by raising thousands of
dollars each year. From a humble dream to the major high
impact program of today, PTP has exploded.
Roy Talley
President 2018-20
Kiwanis California-Nevada-Hawaii Foundation
We are now looking at how to expand the program. More
grants, more training programs (now presented online), more partner
hospitals. We are counting on you, the member, to help us with the
expansion. Go to the Foundation website at www.cnhfoundation.org to learn
how you can help.
Recently, clubs have been asked to contribute to Founder’s Day. Ever wonder
how these funds are used? Founder’s Day contributions help fund training of
our Student Leaders. The Foundation underwrites our Circle K, KIWIN’S and
Key Club officer training conferences. Donations also support the Aktion Club.
Additionally, Founder’s Day contributions help support the Foundation’s
scholarship program. Without your club’s support of Founder’s Day along with
our other awards programs (Dunlaps, DSA’s, CSA’s and Tablets of Honor), we
would not be able to continue these programs. With more clubs donating to
Founder’s Day, we would be able to provide more support of these programs.
Time to show your “Heart of a Hero” in helping us keep these programs going
and growing.

School supplies and clothing are two of the
most basic and important necessities when
beginning a new school year. For the
impoverished children in our country, though,
these are often the most difficult items for
families to provide. The Kiwanis Club of Galt
saw this issue in their own community, a small
city with a large low-income population, and
stepped in to help. By partnering with
counselors at their local elementary schools, as
well as their local Walmart and dental
professionals, the Galt club identified 12 of the
most disadvantaged children in their
community and treated them to breakfast, a
back-to-school shopping spree, and a lesson
on the importance of oral hygiene, which
included free dental supplies.
Elizabeth Haglund, President of the Kiwanis
Club of Galt noted, “some of these children
have never been to the dentist.” Haglund went
on to say, “We hope to reach these families for
future care.” According to Haglund, “The
project was a very big success in helping
families in need with new school clothes,
socks, shoes, underwear, etc. They could not
afford school supplies, dental supplies, [and] a
backpack . . . [and] were in dire need and
literally did not have shoes to wear to school.”
Thanks to these selfless Kiwanians, these
disadvantaged children were provided with the
clothing and supplies necessary to start the
new school year on the right foot!As we celebrate 100 years, consider the number of service
and fundraising hours we have collectively done. Be proud of
our accomplishments in our respective communities, divisions,
regions and the District as a whole. It takes many hands to
continue our work over the next 100 years.

Long Beach club members dressed for

November, members rode on a 1915 REO
Speedwagon truck in the Veteran’s Day
Parade. The club is proud to support
quarterly Veteran’s Bingo, provide meals to
Fisher House and donate to the Veteran’s
non-profit musical group, The Rock Club.
The Kiwanis Club of Long Beach also provided a grant to the
Veterans Garden to create an elevated garden for veterans who
are wheelchair bound. Carrying the Kiwanis banner and
signs in front of the truck were members from the
California State University of Long Beach Circle K Club.
Raising a little more money than last year, the Kiwanis Club of Long Beach raised
$441 in its bell ringing for the Salvation Army on December 8th. Also in December,

aroma of cooked onions and roasted turkey punctuates the air. Volunteers also dish up
mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing, cranberry sauce, freshly cooked cauliflower and brussels

Club of Rancho Murieta, was on hand at a recent club
meeting to thank the members for allowing them to
achieve their “Games Tigers Play” badge. The Kiwanis
Club provided tickets for the Scouts to see the

The Kiwanis Meal Delivery service
resumed in the fall after its
chairperson moved away. In
addition to the Monday-Friday midday
delivery from Subway, the new and
improved food service is an option
from Meals on Wheels. The food
service is a once a week delivery of
five frozen meals, a bag of milk and
fresh fruit for which the client prepares
the meals at their convenience. The program is
part of the Kwanis Club’s K.A.N.E. (Kiwanis
Assisting Neighbors Enterprise) program.
As December approached, club members found
themselves in three main projects - 1. Sweats for
Vets; 2. Toys for Tots and 3. See’s Candies Sales.
The sweats were donated to veterans at Mather
VA Center. Some of those vets were visited by
Santa and Mrs. Claus and were treated to gifts
and personalized notes.

Keeping the children in our communities safe is a team
effort. That's why the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation is
honored to sponsor our Partner Hospitals in their efforts to
prevent and treat pediatric trauma!
Valley Children's Hospital hosted their
annual Seat Check Saturday event this past
September where 79 families throughout
Fresno and Madera Counties had their
current child restraint systems checked, and
60 child passenger seats were donated to
low income families that day. The
Foundation is proud to assist with their
trauma program and injury prevention
efforts!

"The Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation Scholarship has assisted my
parents and myself in pay[ing] for school tuition. As a freshman at Cal
State University Fullerton in the Mihaylo College of Business and
Economics, I feel extremely grateful for the opportunity."

major that isn't particularly popular. Being thrown into a whole new
environment, it is really comforting to know that my college journey is
being supported by the same exact people who inspired it."
- Kristi Ryono
"Key Club helped me discover my passion for management and the
social sciences which is why I am pursuing a major in business. The
formal training and experiences from being a member of the Kiwanis

that Kiwanis will always be in my life."

remember the 9/11 attack and honor those fallen at the
San Bernardino shooting in 2015. The ceremony
began with a bagpiper leading the procession with
Builder’s Club members carrying the US and California
flags to the assembled student body all waving small
flags. The national anthem was sung by 8th grade Builder’s Club member Katherine
Wilson. A metal sculpture with SB Strong was added to
the 9/11 Memorial. Then rocks (painted by Builder’s
Club members) with the names of the nearly 100 police
officers and K-9s who sacrificed their lives nationally for
the safety and protection of the public were placed in
the Liberty Garden. The fourteen victims of the San
Bernardino Inland Regional Center were also honored.

At its first meeting of the school year, the Madera Elementary
K-Kids got right back into service by creating cheerful and
colorful placemats for Meals on Wheels.
Consumnes River Elementary K-Kids provided leadership to the
school wide KCRA 3 Kids Can Food Drive. The food drive has been
helping to feed hungry families in the Rancho Murieta community for
more than 20 years. The food collected was delivered to the Elk
Grove Food Bank Services. The K-Kids members organized the
drive, collected the food from various classrooms
and packed it up. All the food was ready to be
picked up and transported, but smoke from the
wild fires closed the school. Thankfully, the
principal and lead custodian came to work and
loaded the truck. The Kiwanis Club of Rancho
Murieta then transported the 256 pounds of food
to the food bank.
Those same K-Kids members collected 258 toys in its
school wide Toy Drive. The toys were divided three ways and donated to:
Toys for Tots, the Kylee Lilich Charitable Giving Tree and Toys for the Troops’ Kids.

As we enter the 2018-19 Kiwanis year I’d like to share the following stories.
KIWANIS CHILDREN’S FUND points to share with our members provided by
Kiwanis Children’s Fund
• As a Kiwanian, you make a difference in the lives of children in your
community, all over the world, and through your support of the Kiwanis
Children’s Fund. Thank you.
• For 79 years, the Kiwanis Children’s Fund has been a trusted partner
for the Kiwanis family. We harness the collective impact of Kiwanians
all over the world to make a difference for kids who need us.
• Together, we help Kiwanians make a difference in their community
and communities around the world through the five Kiwanis causes:
• Disaster Relief: When disaster strikes, your support
ensures the Kiwanis family can respond – providing
clothing, hygiene kits, and food to communities around
the globe. Check out the recent story on our news blog.
• Service Leadership Programs: You are helping
build a generation of leaders and service volunteers
of every age and ability – from elementary school
students to adults with disabilities. Forty percent of
funds go directly to our Service Leadership Programs.
KIWANIS California-Nevada-Hawaii District -- Volume 1 -- 2018 - 2019
Y 48 Celebrating 100 Years • 909.989.1500 • www.cnhkiwanis.org• Club and district service projects: Your gift helps
your district and other clubs fulfill the unmet needs of
children in their communities. From backpack programs
to a Key Leader weekend for refugees to summer
camps for children living in poverty, children's lives are
changed through your service. For every dollar your
district donates to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund, 15% is
given back in the form of a district grant. (Last year, our
district received a grant for $9,283.00 which supported
three service projects, Key Leader Camp, Aktion Club
District project and a Key Club project in Hawaii at the
district convention. This year’s district grant will be
$9,518.00)
• Iodine deficiency disorders: Kiwanis saw a
mental health problem that could be cured, so we did
it. Your support ensures we can sustain our efforts.
Within the last year, you helped grant $340,000 to
Cambodia to help maintain their progress.
• The Eliminate Project: Together, we are
eliminating a painful, preventable disease that kills
thousands of mothers and babies around the world.
Since 1987, the infant mortality rate related to
neonatal tetanus has decreased 96 percent. This past
summer, Kenya was eliminated leaving 14 countries
still at risk. We’ve raised almost $84 million to date.
• In addition to raising money and awarding grants, the Children’s Fund
provides services to donors and resources to Kiwanis members, clubs
and districts.
• The Children’s Fund can help with fundraising strategies, district and
club foundation management, grant seeking, and speaking/presentations.
• You are encouraged to subscribe to the Children’s Fund newsletter at

The Kiwanis Children’s Fund President’s Challenge for 2018-19
challenges district governors, district secretaries, lieutenant governors and
the Children’s Fund district chair to promote and support the Children’s
Fund within each club, division and district.
To meet the President’s Challenge we must meet the following criteria:
• 50 percent club participation. At least 50 percent of the clubs in the
district or division must make an unrestricted gift to the Children’s Fund.
• A 10 percent increase in giving. The district or division’s total
unrestricted club giving must increase by 10 percent, based on an
average of the previous three administrative years.
• Minimum total giving. For district-level leaders (governors, secretaries
and chairs), the district’s total club giving must reach a minimum of
US$2,000. For lieutenant governors, the division’s total unrestricted
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.
The President’s Challenge does not include planned gifts, gifts to The
Eliminate Project, gifts to the disaster relief fund or any other restricted gifts.
As we serve with the Heart of a Hero team, I’ll add a line from a previous
Governor, Serve from the Heart and from my perspective give from your
heart and help as individuals, clubs, divisions, and our district to meet the
President’s Challenge.
#KIDSNEEEDKIWANIS #SWAGAWANIS
I’ll add our results for the President’s Challenge for 2017-18. Our district met
the President’s Challenge with 15 Divisions meeting the challenge, too. We,
individuals and clubs, gave $63,454.35, exceeding our challenge goal of
$60,360.00. Thank you, 2017-18 Call to Action team! I look forward to the
year with the 2018-19 Heart of Heroes team and reaching the President’s
Challenge goal in your clubs and divisions. We are here to help.

Miracle Network
Hospitals
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
raise funds and awareness for 170
member hospitals that provide 32
million treatments each year to kids
across the U.S. and Canada.
Donations stay local to fund critical
treatments and healthcare services,
pediatric medical equipment and
charitable care. Since 1983,
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
have raised more than $5 billion,
most of it $1 at a time through the
charity's Miracle Balloon icon. Its var-
ious fundraising partners and pro-
grams support the nonprofit's
mission to save and improve the
lives of as many children as possible.
To ensure children’s hospitals have
the resources they need, Children's
Miracle Network Hospitals' partners,
like Kiwanis, conduct thousands of
special events and grassroots
fundraisers year-round. Circle K and Key Clubs hold Dance Marathons to help generate millions
of dollars each year to provide the best care available to the tiniest of patients. The partnership
continues to provide service and fundraising opportunities to both organizations.
Children’s Miracle Network is a preferred Kiwanis Charity. Over the years, Kiwanis clubs around
the country have donated more than US$36 million to CMN hospitals to help make miracles
happen for local sick and injured kids.
