Hello Kiwanis Family:
I am honored to be sharing with you the first edition of the “Sparkle Gazette,” my monthly newsletter. In each edition, I will share information from different committee chairs and important district information. It will be sent to all club members to their email addresses listed with Kiwanis International. This newsletter is an opportunity for me to share ideas, highlight service projects and provide regular information to all the New England and Bermuda members.
I am excited to be working with a fantastic board I affectionately call "the sparkle squad." We are all ready to have a year full of service and education. We will continue to make an impact in the communities that we serve.
When I come to visit the clubs in our district, I will have my Governors pins with me. The pins are $20 each and the funds from both the pin sales and the first daughters auction at conferences will be split among the following four groups (which are my preferred charities this Kiwanis year):
-HAWC- Healing Abuse Working for change www.Hawcdv.org
-Children's Friend & Family Services www.jri.org (my Mental Health Awareness cause)
-Kiwanis International Children's Fund
-Kiwanis Foundation of New England
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in North Conway NH in November for Fall Conference. This will be an event full of education, service, and fellowship. Don't forget we will be next door to the outlets, so plenty of shopping! For more information and to register, go to newenglandkiwanis.org.
As we continue to give to our communities and our fellow Kiwanis members remember to always lead with a "Kiwanis Heart."
Governor Gayla
