Here is a map of the different divisions that make up the Pacific Northwest District of Kiwanis. Many of them sent members to the 3 day district conference that was just held at the events center in the Silver Reef casino in Ferndale. Yesterday (Saturday) we elected a new governor for our district. I think he will do a terrific job leading our efforts. The district is divided up into divisions, each of which have a Lt. Governor. Those are the people who wear the red coats. ("The redcoats are coming!") I spent a fair amount of time talking to our new Lt. Governor, Diane Fox. She is out of the Mt. Vernon club, same as our past Lt. Governor Dave Towne was from. As lieutenant governors, these people are like the sheriff's deputies so work with the members, but report to the governor. Still, it's not the vehicle that is as important as the work we are getting done through the vehicle. The kids are always our focus because Kiwanis is for Kids! … See MoreSee Less

Man oh man, your club secretary Mary Lou here. I've been at the Kiwanis district convention in Ferndale for the past two days (Thursday and Friday, 9/10 and 9/11). Saturday left to go. I'm guessing there are about 200 people there from the west coast, Alaska, and Canada! I've taken LOTS of notes and photos of slides about how a Kiwanis club should be run, how to attract new members, how to make it fun, etc. What I had REALLY hoped to hear about was how other clubs raised their money AND what kinds of service projects they have done. They didn't schedule time for sharing any of that kind of information so I've been just walking up and asking people. This is one of the theaters at Silver Reef casino where they have desks for people to sit at for the "breakout" sessions. VERY nice!!! We listen to the main speakers in their big event center. The casino and restrooms are IMMACULATE!! And the fella in charge of the food & beverage service for the convention is like from a fancy hotel in New York City. Seriously! His name is Soe. Concierge service from him! I will be giving a report to the club sometime in the near future. Right now I'm pooped out and going to bed!! … See MoreSee Less
