Division 34, Cal Nev Ha, District, California Nevada Hawaii
Dear Kiwanians, this month’s Division Council Meeting [ DCM] Wednesday February 21, will be early and, so we can give two hours of volunteer time to Second Harvest. We’ll convene at 5:00 pm, eat, take roll, share news, report on the mid-winter Conference in Visalia, and then report for duty. We each have to register with Second Harvest to volunteer. Here’s the LINK:
It only took us 3 minutes to fill out and submit. Tom and I are making plans to attend the international convention in Denver the first week of July and the California Nevada Hawaii District convention in Kona, Big Island in August. I hope there are a group of us at both grand events.
I have a 20- 25-minute presentation I would like to make to each of our division clubs. I’m required to visit. I’m volunteering to do a program on positive evaluation techniques, something I learned from doing children’s theatre, so it shouldn’t be too hard. Pick a date and invite me. Sandy Farley, Lieutenant Governor Division 34, 2023-2024

SAN FRANCISCO CLUB
Mayor London Breed of San Francisco attended the Kiwanis meeting on December 13th to issue a Proclamation. The program recognizes organizations who have made significant contributions to the vitality of the city. The Kiwanis Club represents an unwavering commitment to the leadership development of the young people of San Francisco. The club would have celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2020 but it was postponed until 2023 because of Covid. So, London Breed, issued a proclamation making December 13,2023 “Kiwanis Club of San Francisco Day in San Francisco!”
MENLO PARK CLUB
In, December the Menlo Park Key Club, and Menlo Park Kiwanis club worked together to fill packets of food for 10,000+ meals for Menlo Atherton high school students, with additional help from the high school football team members.
Santa is member Charlie Porter, who volunteers at Allied Arts Guild where the club meets for their twice monthly luncheon meetings. He was Santa for the Allied Arts Nutcracker Teas and the Christmas market. The Grinch is one of the Allied Arts Cafe servers and the young woman is Louise DeDera’s granddaughter Clare. The event is put on every year by Louise with help from auxiliary members.
