1st Place, Club Bulletin 2012-2013 Wilbur Gold Bulletin Effectiveness Award Non-4th of July Party 1 Nov. 17, 2014 This year’s Non-4th of July Party was held on November 9th at Lichgate. Our resident grill master Joe Sanders cooked up hamburgers, hot dogs, and sausage for the hungry crowd who enjoyed the beautiful weather and each other’s company. CCKC Newsletter Distinguished Club 2012-2013 Golden Corral, Noon on Monday 1630 North Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32303 For the unaware, the only requirements for this event are that it must be held between Memorial Day and Veterans Day… but NOT on the 4th of July. Continued inside on page 7. Pictured at right, our group enjoys the day in front of the Live Oak at Lichgate. Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Club #5153, Division 3 Chartered Aug. 31, 1959 Recent Speakers November 3rd – Katie Ibarra, Chair, Kids Voting Leon County CCKC Newsletter 2 Nov. 17, 2014 Ms. Ibarra noted that her organization cannot be successful without partners, like CCKC, who adopt a precinct. Started in 1992, Kids Voting Leon County is a non-profit, non-partisan organization with relationships with the Supervisor of Elections and Leon County Schools. Its goal is to get kids to go out with their parents on Election Day and to have electionrelated curriculum in schools. The curriculum has shifted from the newspaper to a website, with 6 or 7 lessons for each grade level. The organization has a Youth Board, comprised of high school students, who set up the ballots and work behind the scenes, including fundraising through share nights, bake sales, and car washes. The voting occurs in 2 ways: in-school precincts and school walkovers for schools within walking distance of a precinct. The results of the voting must get to the Tallahassee Democrat by 10:30 PM on Election Night. Pack n Play Press Conference At a press conference on November 17th at 9:30 AM, CCKC and Betton Hills Preparatory School will present a check to the Florida Department of Children and Families in support of their Safe Sleep Campaign. Representatives from CCKC, DCF, Healthy Families Florida, and the Betton Hills Preparatory School will be attending. The press conference will be held at the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend (1940 North Monroe Street # 70, 32303) President’s Insights Service Projects: What is Your Style Preference? The enabling service projects are fund raisers. These are my least favorite service projects from a strictly personal gratification standpoint, but I know these are the service projects that literally carry the direct service projects (Ramp Builds, Honor Flights and Miracle Sports events) and indirect service projects (SLPs and partner community service agencies like Southern Scholarship Foundation, Turn About and Big Bend Hospice). While the fund raisers are my least favorite type of project, they are where I tend to spend the most time. They generate capacity to help so many more and to enable those who can’t abide fund raising or lack the skills for fund raising to do their community service work. We each get to make that decision for ourselves, but through that personal decision define who CCKC is and how we are perceived in the community. I thank each and every one of you for that service. What is your service project style preference? It’s really a trick question. The correct answer is “All of the Above.” Woody Price Nov. 17, 2014 The indirect service projects are usually at least one step away from the client (diaper drive, food drives and key clubs). We may collect the diapers and food and fund the key clubs, but we have to take satisfaction from knowing we made a difference through someone else delivering the actual benefit to the client. 3 From a strictly personal gratification standpoint, I prefer direct service delivery. Look at the picture Janet Morgan took of me with the 4 year olds after reading a delightful children’s book Rainbow Crow. I was beaming and they were happy, so what’s not to like? Up close and personal carries tons of immediate rewards. As a service organization, we place a lot of emphasis on these types of projects. The Ramp Build on November 11th is another example. CCKC CCKC Newsletter Newsletter I did a quick tally of our service projects from the “CCKC Service Projects Membership Satisfaction Survey” (I am still waiting for many of you to respond, by the way) and found that of the 52 total projects, 14 allow direct service delivery to the clients (27% of the total), 25 with indirect service delivery to the clients (48%) and 13 enabling service delivery (25%). Which style of service project do you prefer? Your answer determines what we do, who we are and what image we project of ourselves to the community (our brand). Tales for Tots CCKC Newsletter CCKC members read to students at Betton Hills Preparatory Preschool. In the bottom picture David Johnson read to the class on November 3rd, pictured with Janet Morgan at right, Woody Price read on November 6th, and just below, Jim Wylie read on the 7th. 4 Photo Credits: Janet Morgan Nov. 17, 2014 Eddie Lee (1941-2014) Please address notes of sympathy to: Carol Reynolds 2036 Nursery Road Clearwater, FL 33764 CCKC CCKC Newsletter Newsletter It is with sadness that we inform you of the passing of Past Governor Eddie Lee. Eddie passed away November 4, 2014 due to complications of a recent stroke. As the 2011-12 Kiwanis Governor, Eddie worked tirelessly for the good of the district and the children of Florida. 5 Please keep Carol, Leon, and Eddie’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Giving Tuesday From the Kiwainis International Foundation’s Facebook page: CCKC Newsletter 11 The Kiwanis International Foundation is proud to participate—joining charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students. Giving Tuesday gifts to our foundation will go to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund, which supports grants to Kiwanis clubs, districts and district foundations—and grants to Kiwanis’ Service Leadership programs, like CKI Leadership Academy. Our fundraising goal for Giving Tuesday this year is $30,000. That’s the equivalent of 30 Hixson Fellowships—simply one from each Kiwanis district. Your gifts to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund will support many Kiwanis-family programs, like CKI Leadership Academy and its development of emerging Kiwanis leaders. Mark your calendar, tell your friends, and get ready to give! Support the Kiwanis International Foundation—and the Kiwanis Children’s Fund—on December 2. Did You now? On 08/31/1959, CCKC became the 2nd Kiwanis club founded in Tallahassee. Nov. 17, 2014 On Tuesday, December 2, people around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity. It’s the third annual Giving Tuesday. On that day, people will make gifts that benefit good causes and people in need. Ramp Build CCKC Newsletter On Veterans Day, CCKC, in partnership with Ability 1st, built a wheelchair ramp in Mt.

Kiwanis Objects CCKC CCKCNewsletter Newsletter The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 International Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the decades, they have remained unchanged. 16 Nov. 17, 2014 * To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. * To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. * To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards. * To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship. * To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities. * To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
