You Are On The Right Path With Kiwanis
by Governor Frank Dennett
could indicate the direction of an open channel for
navigation, or a valley for
passage through the mountains. An inukshuk without
arms would act as a marker
They were first erected by for a cache of food.
the Inuit, the first people
to inhabit portions of Alas- Today inukshuk still enka, the Arctic Canada, and dure as eternal symbols of
Greenland. They were built leadership and guidance.
for the purpose of providing
direction or communicating
a message to help guide,
lead and share knowledge
that would make the way
safer for those that followed.
The traditional meaning of
inukshuk is you are on the
right path.
If you ever travel in Canada, you may see mysterious
stone figures along highways, lakes, and in the wilderness known as inukshu.
Inukshuk could be small or
large, a single rock, several
rocks balanced on each other,
round boulders or flat. Built
from whatever stones are at
hand, each one is unique.
The arrangement of stones
indicated the purpose of
the marker. Each rock that
formed the Inukshuk was
dependent upon the one
above and below it for the
meaning it provided. The
directions of arms or legs
The inukshuk symbolizes
co-operation, balance and
unselfishness; the idea that
teaching and group effort is
greater than individual effort. Each stone is a separate
entity, yet each supports,
and is supported by the one
above and the one below it.
No one piece is any more or
any less important than the
other. Its strength lies in its
unity. Its significance comes
from its meaning as a whole.
The inukshuk reminds us
of our responsibilities to
invest our efforts today, to
direct a better way for all of
us tomorrow. They remind
us that we can be strong as
individuals, but by coming
together our strengths and
abilities allow us to achieve
greater success.
That sounds a lot like Kiwanis to me. Kiwanis like
inukshuk shows that you
are on the right path- a path
that will give you meaningful opportunities to provide
service, to build character
and to develop your leadership potential. By following
that path you see what really matters in life. The experiences that you have in
Kiwanis, the lasting friendships that you make, the
lives that you touch of people that you know or those
that you may never know,
will guide you on your life’s
journey and will always
lead you home wherever
that may be.

Participating in District Programs Path to Club Success
than 160 clubs and more than
4,600 members – a District in
which the numbers of clubs
and of members have been
in a steady decline for many
years. Yet, some of our clubs
enjoy robust good health and
are adding members despite
the trend – and, although we
have lost many clubs over the
past few years, we have also
formed new clubs in several
areas of New England.
“No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.”
- John Donne, 1624
John Donne’s words, written
nearly 400 years ago, still resonate today, especially with
Kiwanians. In our service to
children and to our communities, we know that a kindness
done to one is a kindness done
to all, and that the well-being of each contributes to the
well-being of the whole community.
Too often, we think of our
Kiwanis Clubs as independent, discrete units, complete
unto themselves. I believe it
is important that we change
that thinking. A truer picture
comes when we consider each
Kiwanian and each Kiwanis
Club as part of a much larger
whole. The weakness of an individual Kiwanis Club weakens all of us; its strengths make
all of us stronger.
I would suggest, to paraphrase Donne, that no club is
an island.
There are many – too many
– Kiwanis Clubs in New England that rarely interact with
the District or with the other
clubs in their divisions. Members of these clubs often believe, quite sincerely, that their
entire and only responsibility
lies within their own communities. As a result, such clubs
rarely, if ever, attend divisional or district events. They shun
Club Leadership Education
training, don’t participate in
Kiwanis Foundation of New
England or Kiwanis International Foundation fundraising, and fail to interclub.
The District truly is more
than just the sum of its parts.
By taking advantage of training opportunities and working together on cooperative
ventures we can make all our
clubs stronger - and grow our
membership.
Sometimes it seems as though
the clubs that most need help
are the last to accept it. We all
can learn from one another.
Every single Kiwanis Club in
New England and Bermuda
possesses some special expertise that needs to be shared.
A healthy and vigorous exchange of ideas between our
clubs is among the most important benefits of participating in Division and District
events.
When our clubs work together and participate in Division
and District-run cooperative
events, everyone wins. When
we share ideas and help one
another to succeed, we multiply the benefits Kiwanis delivers to all our communities.
If your club has not recently
reached beyond the borders
of your own community, consider extending your reach.
Begin with interclubbing. Visit the other clubs in your Division and learn what they are
doing. At the minimum, you’ll
learn some new ways to help
your club grow and serve. I
believe that by reaching out
in this way we will strengthen
all of Kiwanis.
What these clubs miss is the
opportunity to gain strength
from interacting with stronger
clubs and with the District as
a whole. Club Leadership Education, regional conferences
and District conferences aren’t
a distraction from the Kiwanis
mission, they’re an important
part of it. They are designed
to give club leaders the tools

trict, we are doing all we can
to communicate with YOU,
the lifeblood of our organization.
I hope you will visit my website and learn more about my
specific ideas for how we can
together improve our district. Dear Fellow Kiwanians
I firmly believe that the success we enjoy as Kiwanians
happens not at the district
level, but on the club level. A
healthy district is one where
the district leadership works
to support our clubs and
individual Kiwanians by
providing the tools and resources necessary to complete the important mission
of helping children and our
communities. It’s a simple
equation: When our clubs win
our district wins, and I am
committed to doing everything possible to help achieve
that goal.
We cannot achieve our district
goals without first making
sure that our clubs are strong
in membership and financially secure. It’s about getting
back to the basics! Membership growth must be our primary objective. It’s the one
thing that let’s us accomplish
everything else.
Membership is set upon two
primary foundations; first,
strengthening our clubs so
that when we do find new
members we offer a cohesive,
successful and well functioning body that presents an attractive platform for them to
participate. Second, to provide
dynamic marketing solutions
www.wrightforkiwanis.com
to reach prospective members
and present Kiwanis of New
England and Bermuda as the
preeminent service organization that we are.
I pledge to do all I can to help
our district by employing my
25 years of marketing, branding and fundraising experience to provide you with
the tools that will assist you
to continue the tremendous
work you do every day as a
Kiwanian.
If you like what you see and
believe that we share the
same goals, I hope you will
share my website and campaign with members of your
club. I am always available to
discuss my candidacy and my
approach to the job of Governor Elect by phone, email or
even in person if you would
like me to visit your club.
I hope I can earn your vote
and together work with you
to continue to make the New
England & Bermuda District
the best in the world!

Candidate for Governor Elect Glen A Cefalo
Hello Kiwanis family, my name is Glen A. Cefalo
from Division 16 Lower Cape Cod Kiwanis Club
and I am a candidate for the position of Governor-Elect 2013-2014. My years of working with
the past Governors from 1996-2012 has given me
knowledge and guidance that is needed to be the
next Gov-elect, then Governor for 2014-2015. We
have a wonderful organization that allows us to
help children of the world and children throughout the United States. Through our support of
KPTI, Firefighters, Ems, Nurses, and Physicians
were able to treat, transport and help repair
some devastating injuries sustained by children
during the Boston Marathon attack. We make a
difference in children’s lives and our lives. We
are now helping raise funds for the ELIMINATE
project, and we still need your help in raising
funds for KPTI. We can and will be able to do
both with all of us working together as a family.
Thank you for being a Kiwanis member and taking the time to read my bio, below are a few
more details of my Kiwanis years. Please call or email if you have any questions or concerns
[email protected] or 508-776-0510 I look forward to seeing you at a Kiwanis event.

Medford Kiwanis One Day Project
Medford Kiwanis One day of
service was on 4/13/13. The
club prepared and served a free
pasta luncheon to over 100 senior citizens from Medford. The
seniors were also entertained by
the Holiday Singers a local group
of very talented seniors lead by
their enthusiastic leader, Janet. A great day was had by all!
Easton Calendar Sale
The Easton club sold calendars in late 2012 and has been a critical part in running a food pantry in the
area. Once the summer comes, they also plan to do their annual barbecue fundraisers. For a small
club, they always seem to stay busy and find a way to help their community. Keystone Cops Fundraiser
The Caribou club recently had their Keystone Cops fundraiser and they have been in a lot of communication with the Key Clubs at Caribou High School and MSSM (Maine School of Science and Math). Leaders of the Caribou Kiwanis Club have helped MSSM organize a local Key Club “interclub” meeting on Saturday, April 27. The Caribou Kiwanis Club also has a strawberry shortcake fundraiser coming up in the near future.
Talent review
The Presque Isle club had our 61st
Annual Talent Revue in late January. We had 19 competitors across
various age groups competing for
cash prizes. We also had our annual Christmas Basket and Toy
Giveaway in late December. About
150 local families are given food
baskets and/or toys every year in
these events. We also have a Vegas Fever night coming up on April
19-20. We have a poker tourney on
Friday night, April 19, a bingo game
the morning of April 20, then a Vegas Fever night the night of April
20. We had these same events last
year and raised about $5,000 for the
homeless shelter in Presque Isle. The proceeds of this year’s event
will go to the Wintergreen Arts Center, an organization in Presque Isle
that promotes and provides meaningful experiences that encourage
an appreciation of the arts, stimulate creativity and innovation, and
offer an artistic community space
where all are welcome. and tearing them down afterward.
We’re proud to support local business by purchasing the supplies
from multiple local vendors.
The Presque Isle club is also finishing up our 36th Sinawik house. The
Kiwanis Club of PI formed Sinawik
(Sinawik is Kiwanis spelled backward) in 1976 as a for-profit entity
with its own officers and directors
in partnership with Northern Maine
Community College to provide
lower-cost housing to area homebuyers while giving NMCC trade
and technical occupation students
construction experience. Sinawik
finds a buyer through a first-come,
first-served application process and
provides the funds for residential
construction students to purchase
supplies and build the home rather
than having students build projects
The funds raised through the
Sinawik project are used for scholarships to students who have worked
on the Sinawik home and are nominated by their instructors. Sinawik
also makes an annual donation to
the Kiwanis Club of Presque Isle
for local contributions to the community.
We’re very proud to be a part of a
project that gives real-life experience
to these students and we believe
the partnership between Sinawik
and NMCC is very valuable to the
community and we hope it continues for many years to come.

and Project Eliminate. This year’s prizes included antique golf clubs, Vermont
maple syrup, a Visa gift card, flowers,
golf balls, golf towels, fire extinguisher,
McDonald’s gift certificates and much
more. Because we had so many donors this year, every player received a
door prize just for playing. The cost to
play is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for
students. This year we had 31 players
and raised over six hundred dollars. It
is certainly one of, if not the most, fun
events of the year.
This was the third year of our annual
Snow Golf Event. Hardwick Member
Scott Calderwood (Committee Chair)
started the event in 2010 as a way to
raise money for our Children’s Bicycle
Safety Rodeo. We are very fortunate
that our local golf course owners, the
Thompson’s (Woodbury Golf Course),
not only allow us to use the course,
but help prepare the course and have
become one of our largest donors with
prizes and refreshments.
The Snow Golf Event is simply a very
fun day of playing golf in the snow. We
use a scramble format, tennis balls and

with hockey sticks and some have tried

Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute – Advances in Medical Research
The Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma
Institute (KPTI) is proud to announce Dr. Leo Andrew Benedict, our KPTI Research Fellow,
has received the “Poster of Distinction” award from the 43rd
annual national meeting of the
American Pediatric Surgical Association in May of this year. His
research looked at the use of motor neurons to understand repair
mechanisms in spinal cord injuries. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Benedict for his outstanding work. In addition, his
research on the use of CT scans
for injured children will be published in the Journal of Pediatric
Surgery in January, 2014.
Dr. Benedict thanks the Kiwanis
Foundation of New England,
the New England District of Kiwanis and the Gen/Re Corporation for financial support for this
research. Leslie Rideout, FNP, PhD, our
Pediatric Trauma Nurse Coordinator, earned her PhD in December of 2012. She is now nurse
Dr. Rideout! Her work focused
on barriers and facilitators for
nurses who educate new parents
about Shaken Baby Syndrome.
This important research will
help improve parental education
about child safety. Congratulations to Dr. Rideout for her outstanding work!
KPTI continues work to educate health care workers and the
public about injury prevention
for children and families. Please

Norway-Paris Kiwanis Supports Local Special Olympians
The Norway-Paris Kiwanis Club
participated in Kiwanis One
Day by dancing to the music of
the Road Kingz Band to support
our local Special Olympians.
This is one of three annual projects where we team up with the
Rotary Club of Oxford Hills to
support our local kids. A member of Rotary who works at the
Progress Center – a day facility
for children, families and adults
who experience disabilities – began this tradition in 2008.
Norway-Paris Kiwanis Club
member Ray Brown met with a
member of Rotary, and proposed
that both organizations work together on the dance. Ray also
suggested that the Clubs have
a friendly competition selling
tickets, resulting in more tickets
sales. Our first joint dance was
held in April 2009; sadly in June
of that year, our beloved Ray
died as a result of an accident.
In his honor, we now call our
dance the Kiwanis/Rotary Ray
Brown Memorial Dance for Special Olympics. In the five years
since the joint effort began, we
have been able to donate a total
of $4,230 to Special Olympics,
and this does not include the
amount that the Rotary Club has
given, so the approximate combined total donated is $8,500. We
and Rotary are very proud that
we work together for this worthy cause. And we have sold the
most tickets every year - bragging rights!

Norway-Paris presented a check

Special Olympians. From left, Kiwanis members Nancy Perham

Kiwanis Rocks in Manchester!!
By Rob Batchelder, Co-chair
On Saturday March 16h, The Kiwanis Club of Manchester, NH along with volunteers from the Bedford and Memorial High Key Clubs hosted the
3rd annual, “K Rocks Battle of the Bands” at the
historic Palace Theatre in downtown Manchester.
Rock bands from high schools all over the state
competed for over $1000 worth of prizes, including
gift certificates and recording studio time.
When we started organizing the first K Rocks, we
really focused on two major goals: We wanted to
provide young musicians with an opportunity to
get on a big stage with professional lighting and
sound, and we also wanted to find a way to roll up
our sleeves and work together with our local Key
Clubs on a service project. Key Club members have
been enthusiastic about K Rocks from the beginning, and have consistently mobilized many volunteers to help out with all aspects of the event from
selling food & raffle tickets to security.
Profits from K Rocks help fund Kiwanis of Manchester’s youth focused partners.
The alternative rock band “Figure 8” took first place
honors this year, followed by “11th Hour” and “Obsydian”. All participants left with lots of prizes, T
Shirts, and great memories of their day on the big
stage. Who knows, maybe someday a future rock
star will talk about their first big break courtesy of
Kiwanis at the K Rocks Battle of the Bands!

to note that when The Eliminate Project was started 59 countries were afflicted with tetanus, now that number is
29. We are more than half way to total tetanus elimination.

PLGC Working on Educating Our LTG’s
On behalf of the Past Lieutenant
Governor’s Committee (PLGC) we
extend our best wishes and comfort to our fellow Kiwanians, families and friends in Boston and surrounding neighborhoods who have
suffered from the horrific events
on Patriot’s Day and at the Boston
Marathon.
As an update the PLGC is diligently working on activities for the annual District Convention and PLGC
Breakfast Meeting which many of
us look forward to each year. As a
preview, the PLGC Board is planning to recognize individuals by
giving them deserving awards, and
further details about this will be
forthcoming closer to the Convention.
Our Education Committee is also
working diligently behind the
scenes on an outstanding presentation at the Convention that will be
beneficial to Club Presidents and
President-Elects focusing on leadership.
Our Education Chairperson Wanda Baril and Past Lieut. Governor
Sharon Binette will also be attending the LTG Training. PLG Sharon
will be doing a presentation again
this year about the duties of the
Lieutenant Governor and will also
speak about the PLGC.
Education Chairperson and members Wanda Baril, Judy Houghton
and Sharon Binette will be revising
our current pamphlet to include
more education.
One of our Past Lieutenant Governors is hoping to present a pamphlet
on protocol at the Convention. Any
ideas that PLG’s may have for our
protocol pamphlet or would like to
join the protocol committee please
submit your names to [email protected].
Thank you very much, and stay

“Relief Efforts For May 20th Tornado”
The Texas Oklahoma District has
a disaster relief program that provides material relief to people who
have lost their homes due to natural disasters. There are many thousands of children affected each year
in Texas and Oklahoma due to tornados, floods, wild fires, and other
causes. The Moore tornado on Monday, May 20th, destroyed hundreds
of homes, businesses and schools
leaving families struggling to cope
with sudden loss. Kiwanis clubs
and community members across
the 2 states immediately stepped
up to help folks in Moore by pack-
ing emergency disaster relief backpacks filled with toiletries (soap,
toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo),
medical packs, spare socks, toys,
baby wipes, powders, t-shirts, etc.
The backpacks are packed according to gender and age groups and
will be delivered to the shelters. If
you would like to donate to this
program, we are collecting checks
or credit card donations.
To donate with a credit card, we
have set up a PayPal donation button on the Denton Kiwanis Club
website here: http://www.den-

Kiwanis - 1st annual - Heads up for a Helmet Event
This first year we are having a one station event at the Rockland Recreation center on the first Saturday in June
from 9am to 12 noon. We will continue to sell and fit the bike helmets, as well as, hand out bike safety materials
and at the same time introduce, promote, and fit multisport helmets. We are planning on continuing to charge a
fee because Kiwanis believes kids need to take ownership in the product they are using. On the other hand with
your support we are hoping to sell the bike helmets for $5.00 and the multisport ones for $20.00.
We are currently looking for Sponsors and working out the details for this first event. Below is more an internal
document sent to our membership. So far we have a $500 sponsor.
Heads up for a Helmet Event
Kiwanis is modifying its approach to helmet safety For many years now we have held a yearly Bicycle Rodeo for younger kids in our community. During that time
we have sold, at cost or below, hundreds of bike safety helmets. Overall it has paid off in that the number of bike
related deaths for children under the age of 14 has dropped by over 50% between the years of 1999 and 2008.
While that is great news we asked ourselves if there was more we might do!
The chart on Injuries by Product gave credence to what we were thinking; expanding the bike to multisport
helmets. Bike helmets can only be used for biking but multisport helmets can be used for many different sports
including biking.
Skateboarders and skaters need to wear the right protection as well and a bicycle helmet won’t do. Bike helmets
are designed differently and will not keep kids safe on your skateboard, so kids need to buy a specifically designed skateboarding helmet. Skateboarding helmets are harder for the inevitable frequent falls, and they are
designed to protect more of your head. It is actually law in some states that you must wear a correct skateboarding helmet in order to be allowed in some skateboarding parks. The first time you fall off your skateboard, the
chances are it will be the first time you realize just how hard the pavement actually is, with your head!Ê You can
mend a broken arms and legs but break your head and scramble your brains and it could be broken forever. You
only get one head so we want kids to look after it as best they can.
Our thoughts for this first year are to have a one station event at the Rockland Recreation center on the first Saturday in June from 9am to 12 noon. We would continue to sell and fit the bike helmets, as well as, hand out bike
safety materials and at the same time introduce, promote, and fit multisport helmets. Because of price increases
helmets now cost us anywhere from $9.00 to almost $23.00 depending on its function and age group.We are planning on continuing to charge a fee because Kiwanis believes kids need to take ownership in the product they are
using. On the other hand with your support we are hoping to sell the bike helmets for $5.00 and the multisport
ones for $20.00.Ê This should be attractive to kids in that bike helmets usually start at $40.00 and multisport can
be two to three times that depending on style.
For your local Kiwanis organization this is a financial risk. This is why we are asking for your support. These
multisport helmets are over two and a half times more expensive for us to buy. As such we are asking if you
would be a sponsor at the $500 or $200 level for an event that will likely cost us over $2,500.00 to get started.
It should go without saying but your business name will be prominently displayed on all of our materials.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. Greg Hamlin, Co-Chair of the Kiwanis “Heads up for a Helmet
Event.” For any more information feel free to call me at (207) 354-6749. Checks should be made out to Kiwanis

Portland High School Key Club Partners with Good Shepherd Food Bank to
Launch ‘School Pantry’ Program
Posted: 12/5/12
Community-minded teens get creative to make sure peers have nutritious food during weekends and vacations Good Shepherd Food Bank hosted Portland High
School’s Key Club on Wednesday, December 5, to
support the students’ efforts to provide food for
classmates who are experiencing food insecurity.
The students took part in training on best practices in food pantry management, a tour of the Food
Bank shopping area, and a meet and greet with
Food Bank staff to help them successfully manage
the School Pantry program.
After the tour and training, Key Club members
selected food from the Food Bank for their December vacation distribution and assembled food
packages for fellow students. “We are happy to help the Key Club in their efforts
to provide food for their fellow students,” said
Shannon Coffin, program manager at Good Shepherd Food Bank. “One in four children in Maine is
not getting enough nutritious food to allow them
to live a healthy life and thrive in school. If we’re
able to reach those children while they’re in school
and provide them with food for other family members as well, that’s a big win for hunger relief.”
Portland High School’s School Pantry will be the
first school-based pantry launched in collaboration with Good Shepherd Food Bank in the state
of Maine. The program will act as a pilot and the
Key Club will be working with Food Bank staff
to compile a best practices guide to help other
schools across Maine begin school pantries where
the need exists. Last year, the PHS Key Club began working to start
a pantry at their school so that students struggling
with food insecurity would have an easily accessible and discreet resource for food to bring home
for weekends and school vacations. A senior officer of the Key Club reached out to Good Shepherd
Food Bank for assistance in making their pantry a
success. To help the club get this important new
initiative started, the Food Bank provided $5,000
worth of nutritious food to the pantry for this
school year, in addition to providing resources
such as pantry management training and nutrition handouts.
“Members of the Portland High School Key Club
saw a need and they rose to the challenge,” said
Zarmina Hanifi, the club’s advisor. “They wanted to ensure that none of their classmates went
hungry. Through their efforts, they have created
a resource that can serve as a model for other
schools.”
The School Pantry program is a national program of Feeding America, the national food bank
network. School Pantry programs alleviate child
hunger through the provision of food to children
and their families through schools. These pantries
are located on school grounds in order to provide
a more readily accessible source of food assistance
to low-income students and their families.

School Pantry, please contact:

May is Membership Month
Whatever it is that each member
loves about his or her Kiwanis
club, membership makes it happen.
That’s why all club members should
be involved in growth—because it’s
the future of what they love.
For May Membership Month, here
are things every member can do:
Have a membership chair and/
or committee. For those who lead
your club’s efforts, Kiwanis International has made many resources
available—from club evaluation
tools to teaching guides to proven,
step-by-step recruitment activities.
Be a good host. Your membership
committee helps bring them in.
Make sure to impress them and
make them feel welcome once
they’ve arrived—and keep them interested once they’ve become members. Here are some things you can
do:
Build a better meeting. For most
clubs, the meeting is the most consistent way to get the group together. Use these ideas occasionally to
keep things fresh and fun.
Schedule some outright fun. Fellowship is part of the attraction to
being a member. Plan an occasional
icebreaker or social event outside
the club meeting.
Show your appreciation. Don’t wait
for a formal banquet to honor an effort. Show your appreciation often
and in creative ways.
Sharpen their skills. Personal development, like improving communication skills, will give an added
benefit to club membership. Think
of areas where members can use a
little help, and bring in a speaker to
educate the club.
Give committee work some attention. Maybe once a quarter (or on
some other consistent basis) have
committees work on upcoming
projects/tasks in place of a typical
meeting.
Now, the committee is in place and
your club is inviting and FUN. The
weather has broken and it is time to
do the third thing.
Conduct a membership drive. You
have access to 10 simple steps for
hosting an excellent event. Get
started today at the May Recruitment Campaign page.
As Membership Month approaches,
lead by example. Invite people who
you would like to see as a member
of your club. After all, growth helps
ensure that new people with new
ideas and enthusiasm will keep
your club thriving.
And don’t forget options such as
corporate memberships. Think
about browsing through your local
chamber of commerce listing. Most
of all, think about your club providing what people love, for years to
come.
Good planning required for recruiting
Successful recruitment starts when
the club has a goal and knows the
member profile required to reach it.
Think of the projects you do, and
the people your club works within
the community. This goes for prospect occupation and commitment.
For example, if the club wants to
build a park for disabled children,
fundraisers are required—but so
are architects, builders and physical therapists.
Here are some tips for recruiting
good people, and retaining good
members:
Target your prospects based on club
needs , and clearly articulate how
they can contribute as members of
your club.
Share what’s expected of a member
and set up a trial period before he
or she joins.
Help the prospect determine
whether the club is a good fit, and
vice versa.
Conduct new member orientation.
Determine your prospect’s interests—and how the club can match
them.
Give them a great experience by
getting them involved, and even assign a mentor to new members.

Largest Pancake Breakfast
Remember this date – June
2nd, 2013 – because the infamous Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast roars back into the Twin
Cities with new sponsors, new
partnerships and tremendous
new energy from the re-energized Lewiston-Auburn service club. They’re also bringing it back with a big goal in
mind – to set the world record
as the largest Pancake Breakfast ever held.
So make sure to come out with
15,000 of your closest friends!
“The Lewiston-Auburn
Kiwanis club experienced a
resurgence of interest and
enthusiasm last year,” states
Sarah (Glynn) Little, current
President of the Club. “There
was a core group of dedicated
members who made the commitment to regrow this wonderful Club, and it’s been an
exciting ride!”
Much like the title character in the children’s classic
- Little Engine That Could
– remaining members of the
struggling service organization have worked hard this
past year to reorganize and
revitalize the Lewiston-Auburn Kiwanis. After suffering
a steady decline in membership numbers in late 2011, the
group almost called it quits
and even cancelled last year’s
annual Pancake Breakfast.
The Twin City’s club
was chartered in 1922 and began hosting the breakfast every year from 1957 until last
year. Money raised from the
event goes to support numerous Kiwanis projects – including helping pay for children
to attend Maine museums
and the providing eyeglasses
for needy children.
Thanks to a dedicated,
core group of members and
assistance from the NorwayParis Kiwanis Club, the local
group downsized from a fullfledged charter to consider becoming a satellite of its sister
organization in Oxford County. However, this dedicated
group decided to rebuild, and
remain focused on the Lewiston-Auburn area and its individual community needs.
Since June 2012, membership
has grown from about 6 members to 17 active members this
year who are ready to breathe
new life into the service club’s
most challenging fundraiser
– the annual Kiwanis Pancake
Breakfast.
“Over the course of the
past year, we have established
a regular meeting schedule
with guest speakers, and have
re-focused our efforts on truly serving the children of the
community. Over the past ten
months, we’ve conducted a
service projects to purchase
and deliver school supplies to
the second grade classrooms at
Montello school, assisted with
the Children’s Christmas Fair
at St. Dom’s, packaged and
delivered hundreds of ‘baby
kits’ to area maternity wards
of hospitals, provided Key
Clubby bears for law enforcement emergency responders,
partnered with Boys and Girls
Club for their ‘Helloween”
event, and more! Our members are truly excited out our
getting out into the community with our service projects.”
Determined to continue
serving the Lewiston-Auburn
community by attracting new
members armed with enthusiasm, the small band of Kiwanis members continue to
meet weekly and recruit new
members. The service organization also continues its work
overseeing three area high
school Key Clubs at Lewiston High School, Leavitt Area
High School, and St. Dominic
Academy.
