7 Members receive Walter Zeller Fellowships

Thursday, Oct. 18
This morning's meeting of the Chatham-Kent Golden K Kiwanis club was a very special event.  7 members received their Walter Zeller Fellowship medals for their individual contributions to the ELIMINATE Project of $1250.00 or more.  EC&C ELIMINATE Coordinator Jim Garey and his wife Sue were in attendance to present the awards.  LG Bud and his wife (and brand new Kiwanis member) Jackie were also in attendance.  
PLG Jim Garey advised the group that Division 3 is leading the charge against eliminating maternal neo-natal tetanus in the remaining 31 countries where is remains a needless form of death for new born babies and mothers.  Two clubs in the division have come forward and declared that they are going to be MODEL clubs - The Chatham-Kent Golden K and the Sarnia-Lambton Golden K.  Way to go gang!!! 
Now is the time for the other clubs in Division 3 to step up to the plate and get your events planned to raise the necessary funds to ELIMINATE this disease.  Lets go team!!!

LG Bud Orr completing Club Officer Installations

Oct. 15, 2012
LG Bud has been on the move.  He started the process of Club Officer installations on Sept. 25th and will end on Oct. 16th with the Kiwanis Club of the Seaway.  He has met many new friends along the way.  

Goals for 2012-2013

LG Bud has created the following as his goals for Division 3 for the coming year.

• To have an active interclub exchange
• To maintain active membership
• To raise money for the ELIMINATE Project
• To promote education about Kiwanis within each community
• To have FUN as Kiwanis members in Division 3 

Other exciting news is that the EC&C District will have a newsletter sent out to all clubs for distribution to the club membership.  This is being taken on by Kiwanian Randy Ross of Division 4's Ridgetown club.  All clubs are invited to submit any newsworthy story to Randy at Randy Ross  for publication.  Randy reserves the right to edit or shorten especially lengthy pieces.  He is looking for information that will be of interest to all Kiwanians in our District (as opposed to things that are of interest to only one or two clubs).  This includes innovative projects, special anniversaries, interesting events and general articles about Kiwanis.  Governor Peter Tudisco will have a column and there will also be information about things like the annual convention.  Photos are welcome/encouraged.  There will be a newsletter at least once per month, however they may be produced more frequently as needed.
