Halfway There & Still Going Strong!
Hello Kiwanis Members,
Can you believe we’re already at the halfway point of the year? Time truly flies when we’re busy making a difference in the lives of children and our communities. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your unwavering dedication and hard work over the past six months.
Service That Shines:
Your commitment to service has been truly inspiring. From packing school supplies, organizing a community cleanup, or supporting a local children’s hospital, your efforts have brought smiles, support, and tangible improvements to those who need it most. Remember that every hour volunteered, every dollar raised, and every act of kindness ripples outwards, creating a stronger and more vibrant community for our kids. Let’s carry this momentum forward and continue to identify opportunities to serve with passion and purpose.
Membership: Our Strength in Numbers:
Our membership is the heart and soul of our Kiwanis club. It’s through our collective strength and diverse talents that we can achieve so much. I want to extend a warm thank you to each and every one of you for your active participation, your willingness to step up, and your commitment to our mission.
As we look to the second half of the year, let’s also focus on growth. Consider reaching out to friends, colleagues, and neighbors who share our passion for service. Sharing the rewarding experience of Kiwanis membership strengthens our club and allows us to amplify our impact even further. Let’s aim to welcome new, enthusiastic members into our Kiwanis family.
Looking Ahead:
The next six months hold exciting possibilities. Many clubs have annual fundraisers, a new partnership with a local school, or a membership drive planned. Let’s approach these opportunities with enthusiasm and a collaborative spirit. Your ideas, your energy, and your commitment are vital to our continued success.
Yours in service,
Governor John Chiesa
