Through the succeeding decades, they have remained unchanged. Object 1 - To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. Object 2 - To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. Object 3 - To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards. Object 4 - To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship. Object 5 - To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities. Object 6 - To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill. U & I KIWANIAN IMPORTANT DATES October / November 2015 Volume 20 Issue 1 Annual Roster Issue ACCEPTING CONTENT E-MAIL Sun August 16, 2015 CONTENT DEADLINE Wed August 26, 2015 SUBMIT FOR PRINTING Thu Sep 12, 2015 EST. DELIVERY DATE Thu Oct 1, 2015 FROM REVIS TURNER, U-I KIWANIS GOVERNOR KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL ACON JUNE 25-28, INDIANAPOLIS, IN END OF A CENTURY OF SERVICE My task for this article, my final column to my fellow Kiwanians as U-I Governor, will be to provide a summary of the 100th Annual Convention of Kiwanians. For many of us it was a party of the century—a time to remember a glorious legacy of many unseen Kiwanis volunteers who made possible with millions of hours of service to improve the lives of children and communities all over the world. And what a glorious legacy it is. The 14 strong delegation from Utah-Idaho were reminded of the 10 decades of Kiwanis progress through the years of war, the years of depression, the years of progress and the times of political and cultural strife. In the midst of all of these events, Kiwanis volunteers have been often the unheralded heroes of the less fortunate and contributors to the well-being of so many children and communities. We have 100 years of which we can be extremely proud of our contribution. Often in gatherings like this, I am profoundly reminded that a local Kiwanis club’s impact does not end at its cities’ limits, but the reach extends globally. Kiwanians for the next century have no borders. Two global health campaigns in cooperation with UNICEF are recent examples. First, the IDD project, which provided salt to the diet of impoverished people, has now been confirmed to raise the IQ of children and adults in countries with significant populations living in poverty. Secondly, The Eliminate Project in which we are now engaged has seen a 15% decrease in the world-wide infant deaths since Kiwanis began giving and pledging funds to eliminate Maternal & Neonatal Tetanus. Millions of women of child-bearing age have been protected. The leading UNICEF doctor with the MNT project, Dr. Francois Gasse, indicated that 8 more nations in the next year will be certified as Tetanus Free. Currently, Kiwanis has raised and pledged over $91 million. In the end over 61 million women will be immunized and millions of infants will realize a healthy childhood, something unheard of in the last century.As usual, Kiwanis had excellent candidates for Vice President (President 17-18). The majority of delegates elected a friend, former International Trustee from Peoria, Illinois, and last year’s U-I ACON keynote speaker, Jim Rochford. Our delegation was extremely pleased with his election and look forward to Jim’s leadership. PAGE 4 Needless to say, the 100th ICON was not all serious. There were times to play. Friday night found over 3000 Kiwanis, Key Club, CKI and Aktion club members at Victory Baseball Field enjoying a picnic before the game and watching Dr. John Button, International President, throw out the first pitch of the baseball game between the Indianapolis Indians and the Syracuse Chiefs. The evening ended with a marvelous fireworks display.
