Kiwanis Club of Hicksville 77th Anniversary Journal (Sep. 26, 2014)
F KIWANIS CLUB OF HICKSVILLE 77th ANNIVERSARY JOURNAL Charter Night September 27th, 2014 Celebrating 77 Years of Outstanding Community Service This journal celebrates Kiwanis. Not just its ideals, but also the people who make Kiwanis special, its members as well as the people who support our efforts. We thank everyone who contributed to this journal and to all our appeals and events. You have given of your hard earned cash; you have given of your time; you have given of your spirit… You lent a hand or an ear…If you were there for a Kiwanian, you were there for Kiwanis. We live in a world which has become increasingly polarized; A world in which people are divided by race, ethnicity and socio-economic differences; a world in which violence sometimes triumphs over love and diplomacy; a world in which too many still struggle for food and shelter. While as individuals we may not be able to effect great change, together we can make miracles. That sense of community is what makes us whole. It is that very celebration of humanity, that makes us human. It is in Kiwanis that we find our sense of community; our connection to that very special sense of selflessness… of caring for others as ourselves. Through our work in the community we can give to those less fortunate. Much of our current efforts have focused on supporting the Hicksville food pantries. We continue to work toward the day where no child will go to sleep hungry. The current Kiwanis global initiative is to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus - an initiative we support and embrace. As we look back over the seventy-seven years of service, we applaud the fine work of years past and look forward to the challenges of our next seventy-seven years. We know that with your support we will make this world a better place – one community, one child at a time. The Kiwanis International Story Kiwanis was founded in Detroit, Michigan, January 21, 1915 by professional organizer Allen Browne. The first Kiwanian was a merchant tailor named Joseph Prance. The original name was “The Benevolent Order of Brothers,”and its purpose was the mutual exchange of preferred treatment in professional and business dealings. Within a year, the name had been changed to “Kiwanis,” taken from a Native American term “Nun Keewanis” which loosely means “Self Expression.” It had become obvious that the original purpose lacked appeal for many members. The purpose of the organization thus became “community service,” a humanitarian concept from which Kiwanis has never deviated. While 1937 saw unemployment drop to 14.3%, down 6.7% from the previous year, the changing politics of Europe and the human tragedy of the Hindenburg explosion were on the minds of many. As Americans coped with this changing world, Judy Garland told “Dear Mr. Gable” that he made her love him, the Golden Gate Bridge opened, FDR was inaugurated for the second time, “Old Age Insurance Benefits” was created and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs filled movie theatres and buoyed the hearts of Americans. The 1930s expanded the role of government, but government alone would never be enough. A group of true visionaries understood that Hicksville deserved a Kiwanis Club. With the support of the Kiwanis Club of Freeport, the Hicksville Club became a reality when Kiwanis International issued the formal charter on June 20, 1937. Hicksville became the third Long Island club, following Hempstead (1) and Freeport (2). On July 7, 1987 Kiwanis International Convention delegates voted to extend membership to women, finally recognizing the valuable contributions that women make to our society and the contributions they could make to Kiwanis service to children. By the end of the 198788 administrative year, more than 8,500 women had joined the ranks of Kiwanis worldwide. We salute the visionaries who created Kiwanis International and those who created the Hicksville Club – we are forever in your debt. Charter Members of the Kiwanis Club of Hicksville Henry C.

Reverend Rosita George Williams God Bless America Edward G. Saueracker, PhD this year’s honore for the Nicholas J. Brigandi Spirit of Giving Award Whether you call him, Edward, Eddie, Ed or Uncle Edward, you know that whatever he commits to, he gives one-hundred percent – 100% of his energy, 100% of his generous spirit. He commits not only to the tasks, but to the individuals, families, employees, or volunteers involved. While we all know Ed in different arenas with labels such as friend, neighbor, family member, co-worker, and employer used to describe the relationship, it is clear that once Edward welcomes you into his life, you become an important, integral part of his family. For an only-child, he has built a wonderful, vibrant extended family, as evidenced by the outpouring of support this evening and in this journal. Edward is an outstanding product of the Hicksville Public Schools graduating in 1974 in the top 4% of his class. In 1998, the graduating seniors elected Ed to the Hicksville High School Hall of Fame. In his usual style Ed used that opportunity to help others by establishing the “William F. and Carol V. Saueracker Community Service Award” to honor his parents and help students. As a college student, Edward was trained as Hofstra University’s first Peer Advisor, advising undeclared majors to register. Ed is very clear that his student years at Hofstra with outstanding, caring administrators and professors solidified that a “helping profession” Ed, Edward, Eddie, Uncle Edward THANK YOU for being the best you can be and THANK YOU for helping us to be the best we can be. was where his future would be. Upon graduating Ed received a fellowship to the Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York where earned his PhD in Economics in 1984. It is no surprise that even as the youngest student in his PhD Program, Ed rose to leadership positions serving on numerous program committees, as well as the Graduate Student Council. In all cases, he advocated on behalf of his fellow students. Although Ed’s dad passed away during the writing of his dissertation, Ed always attributes his ability to finish to the unwavering support and encouragement he received from his mom. In 1999 the PhD Alumni Association of CUNY presented Dr. Edward Saueracker with a Special Achievement Award. While his scholarly work was noted, his humanitarian efforts were the main focus of the presentation. Throughout his professional career, the focus has been on helping others— First at Hofstra, where after graduation, Ed was hired as an adjunct assistant professor teaching economics to undergraduate and graduate students. Ed’s classrooms were exciting learning laboratories where students were encouraged to become informed, thoughtful learners - inspired by Ed’s love of learning; love of teaching. – Next at CUNY Baruch College where he was Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of the Center for the Study of Business and Government. He not only helped his undergraduate students learn microeconomics, but supervised graduate research assistants providing counseling and guidance – Lastly, at SUNY Empire State College Ed helped thousands of students realize their dreams of college degrees. Because of his outstanding work, The SUNY Empire State College Foundation presented him with an award for “Outstanding Professional Service.” Ed was seen college-wide as the “goto-guy.” Ed was asked by the college president to manage an extensive research project reviewing the training courses of the Ford Motor Company and was tapped by the college Office of Academic Affairs to support a second college center, and was essential to the success of the college’s Staten Island Unit. Edward’s work in the community has not just been in Kiwanis. Ed served for several years on the Hicksville Post Office Advisory Committee. As a member he advised the post master on community concerns and issues to improve service and communication. He was also a board member of HELPAID -DIRECTION, an addictions counseling agency. Although the agency eventually needed to close, Ed worked tirelessly with county commissioners to ensure a seamless transition for clients, as well as employees. He was also elected trustee of the Hicksville Public Library rising to President. As president he was instrumental in assisting the director with major renovation of the library. Edward understands that a library is more than a repository, it is a vibrant educational institution. To that end he led the board to offer educational benefits to support staff, as well as the professional staff. He not only wanted the library to be the best it could be, he wanted to help the sup- port staff with college educations that could lead to becoming librarians and assist the librarians with advanced degrees. This investment in people is evidenced in all of Edward’s service Ed’s commitment to Kiwanis is unparalleled. For twenty-one years, Ed has given selflessly to build and strengthen our club, support our members and service our local and global communities. Edward is our “man who came to dinner” – well, actually to lunch. Ed was invited as a speaker to discuss higher education opportunities for adult learners and he never left. Ed was inducted the next month and eagerly agreed to serve as assistant secretary producing a weekly newsletter. Over the years Ed has served as president eight times and an officer or director for twenty-one years. His Kiwanis service has not been limited to our club. Ed was an active member of the Kiwanis Pediatric Center Foundation for over ten years, rising to Executive Vice President before leaving the board. When the Friends of the KPTC was in crisis, Ed was asked to help and for 12 years coordinated the very successful Chinese Auctions that supplied hundreds of pediatric trauma kits locally and nationally. Because of his exemplary work, the board named him a KPTC Fellow. For many years Ed was a certified Kiwanis trainer. With his Kiwanis mentor and friend, Patty LeCompte he provided leadership and communications training to incoming club presidents and secretaries. They trained in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and across Long Island. It was no surprise that the Kiwanis Governor of the New York Dis- trict, Sue Ganey wanted Ed on the training team. The success of many of our clubs can be traced back to the fine work of the LeCompte-Saueracker team. Edward committed to helping clubs, members and recipients of Kiwanis service be the best they could be. Although the last eight years have not been easy for Ed- very stressful working conditions, his mom’s health issues, he had a stroke, developed a heart condition and finally retiring from Empire State College. Retirement has been wonderful for Edward – as well for everyone who is the recipient of his largesse. This past spring, Ed had to undergo triple coronary bypass surgery. While he was concerned about the possibility of another stroke, he was more concerned that he hadn’t completed the baskets for the April Chinese Auction. When the surgeon asked to delay the surgery one week, Ed saw this as his opportunity to complete or almost complete all the baskets. Clearly no heart operation was going to diminish his commitment to the auction. For those of you who joined us that evening you saw Ed in his master of ceremonies/auctioneer role. What you didn’t see was a morning of basket loading, unloading, and arranging alongside fellow Kiwanians and volunteers. I’m sure you’ve heard Ed say, “I never ask anyone to do something, I wouldn’t do myself” – Clearly! ED, THANK YOU FOR LOVING, LIVING AND SHARING KIWANIS Our very best wishes to our dear friend Edward Saueracker, PhD Congratulations on being chosen as this year’s honoree for the Nicholas J. Brigandi Spirit of Giving Award Thank you for twenty plus years of tireless efforts on behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Hicksville. We are thrilled to be able to share this special night with you! Members of The Kiwanis Club of Hicksville THANK YOU FROM ED “Thank you” seems inadequate to let each of you here this evening and all of our journal supporters know how much your support of our Kiwanis Club means to me. Because of your generosity, we can continue to make a difference in the world- one child, one community at a time. I know without the people who love and lift me up, I would not be here tonight to receive this wonderful award. So I share this honor with each of you. This evening would have no meaning for me if I couldn’t share it with the people I love. Thank you to my aider and abettor, DIANE BROUSSEAU who supports my work and my soul.
