Saturday May 4 2013 – Region C Caucus Meeting. The EC&C Region C Hosts, LGs, Phil Rossy (Div. 12) Gary Coulombe (Div. 13) and LG Bob Giguere (Div. 11) organized an upbeat Caucus meeting. Here are a few highlights: Governor Peter provided his comments and a few presentations to club Presidents KI President Tom DeJulio presented his comments on Kiwanis Growth KIVP Dr. John Button provided his comments on Eliminate Several EC&C Chairs/Trustees presented their comments on their various portfolio responsibilities, / strategic plan/challenges/education. Fabulous lunch and good fellowship. Saturday Evening May 4, 2013 Canadian War Museum Region C Eliminate Black Tie Gala What a fantastic setting for this very special evening being enjoyed by 270 Guests all dressed in their finest. Here are a few of the Highlights: After All of the introductions Governor Peter Tudisco provided a Welcome and Toast to Kiwanis. EC&C Eliminate Coordinator, DLG Rev. Jim Garey provided Grace. Pastor Glenworth Joseph, from Barbados, provided and excellent speech on Volunteerism and of course showed his many talents by providing some musical entertainment along with two top winners of the Ottawa Music Festival. They were fabulous. Greetings were provided by EC&C District Governor Peter Tudisco. A presentation on Eliminate by KI President Tom DeJulio on his recent trip to Haiti and what he and Dr. Rosemary experienced first-hand. A cheque was presented by KIVP Dr. John Button to UNICEF Canada President & CEO David Morley and David expressed in his very passionate way a response from UNICEF. At the end of the evening LG Phil Rossy announced that we had earned over $17,000.00 for the evening event and before he was even at his seat he had a personal donation of $5,000, another of $3,000 and another of a Zeller Donation of $1,250. I think the money is still coming in. My guess is it will easily top $30,000.00. “WOW” The evening ended with dancing to the music of the New Classics. In the end a fabulous evening of fun/fellowship and Fundraising (or Funraising) for a very worthy cause and one that we will be most proud to have our name attached. To LG Phil, LG Gary and LG Bob and your committees, a job well done and one that you certainly can be most proud of – “Absolutely FANTASTIC.”

After Five for MNT
Our Kiwanis community knows we have a commitment to our UNICEF partner to raise $110 million dollars to eliminate Maternal Neonatal Tetanus. Does the rest of your community know that? Our Kiwanis Club in Owen Sound felt that key members of our city might be very interested in finding out about our worthwhile project. We decided to hold an after five social information meeting. We rented out a beautiful reception space at the local Best Western overlooking our bay so there was no decorating required. As we were holding a charity event, the hotel rented out their space at a reduced rate. We deliberately kept the ticket to the event to $20.00 with the promise of fabulous appetizers and an informative speaker, then International Trustee Dr. John Button. All food and room expenses were more than covered by the tickets sold. Rather than spending money on advertising, a few club members invited strategic guests for a five to seven o’clock after work event to learn about our initiative. Of our 90 guests, 70 were non-Kiwanians. A few members of our club donated some terrific draw prizes for the raffle tickets sold at the event. After more than an hour of socializing around the cash bar, we had some chairs set up at the end of the room so those who needed to, could sit down and listen to Dr. John speak passionately about our global project. Those present understood that they had been invited to participate in a world changing endeavour. After the event, the comments from those in attendance were that they appreciated the time frame. They could just pop in after work for a relaxed time. We were all done by 7 p.m. as promised. They also commented that they appreciated the diverse and ample flow of appetizers served by staff continuously circulating about the room. After work, they were in need of, not just food for thought, but sustenance to keep them on their feet. Good food + Good conversation + Great information = Success! Our goal was primarily to raise awareness and perhaps a thousand dollars from the event. In the end, between the raffle tickets and individuals donations by those present, the club raised $5000.00 which was a great start to our commitment. We have since pledged ourselves to be a Model Club with a total commitment of $45,000. The success of our endeavour was in personally asking individuals that have shown a commitment to our community through the years. Whether medical, legal, business or governmental members of your community, engage them in your MNT efforts. Kiwanian Julia Levine, multi-division coordinator Divisions 8, 9 and 10
