Each year CNH Kiwanis holds a conference mid way through the year to help clubs focus on our mission to serve our community and to help ELIMINATE Maternal Neo-Natal Tetnus world-wide. In addition they hold workshops, award and celebrate clubs and individuals that have proven to be outstanding during the year. Our President Ken, Brad, Paul and Bob Ebiner attended the conference and each came away with new information and a renewed spirit.
Key Club West hosted its annual Into the Blue Formal Dance to raise money for Pediatric Trauma Prevention. It was held at the Arcadia Community Center. Brad, Ken and his wife Sue helped chaperone over 400 high school students dance the night away. In addition to our club, we had chaperones from Hacienda Heights, Sierra Madre, Kiwaniannes, El Monte, and Walnut Valley.

We sponsored today’s West Covina Student Government Day where the 5 high schools in West Covina sent students to City Hall to shadow city officials and learn what local government is all about. We provided a continental breakfast and pizza lunch for all and helped chaperone throughout the day. Students were talked to Mayor Fred Sykes and Mayor Pro Tem James Toma on the importance of understanding city government and voting. Chris Freeland, Community Services Director then spoke on the agenda for the day and introduced all the government officials that would be acting as hosts. Each student was given a directorship within the city and they shadowed their counterpart during the morning. At lunch, the planning department involved the students in their Master Plan Preparation by asking “What they liked and disliked about the city?” Their responses were outstanding. At that point, there was a Mock City Council meeting where each person participated. We had a Mayor and 4 Councilmembers as well as the City Manager at the Dias. The Department Heads spoke from the floor. Several of our club membes spoke from the floor on issues that the community would typically complain about. The Council then had to decide how to disperse a $1 million windfall among the departments. Everyone got something. Later that night they were recognized by the council and presented with certificates. |
