President's Letter
8/28/2010
 Here
we are in September and the close of this Kiwanis year
is rapidly approaching. As such it is a time for
reflection and anticipation of the next opportunity to
do our part to Change the World One Community and One
Child at a Time.
In
reviewing our Goals for 2009 – 2010 I think we pretty
well accomplished what we set out to do. For that I
commend and congratulate all of the Membership.
I am pleased to tell you that your
Leadership Team for 2010 – 2011 is off and running with
a great start for next year. I am confident that Gayle
Noble and Paul Golay along with the other Officers and
members of the Board of
Directors will provide dynamic Leadership which
will insure another banner year for this great Kiwanis
Club.
I know that as you meet and get
acquainted with the Texas – Oklahoma Governor Designate
Sam Curry and the Kiwanis International President
Designate Sylvester Neal you will be favorably impressed
with their capabilities to keep Kiwanis as the best
service organization on this planet.
I would be remiss if I didn’t call
your attention to the fact that once again our club is
providing the next Lieutenant Governor for Division 24.
I have mentioned to you all several times that the “Home
Club of Lieutenant Governor” Banner should probably be
labeled as “Property of Sun City Kiwanis”. Bill Rives
will continue the fine job of his predecessors while
doing an excellent job of trying to get the rest of Div.
to meet our standard of excellent. If you think I am
somewhat proud of our club you are absolutely right.
Let’s all get behind the new Kiwanis
Leadership Team and make 2010 – 2011 the best year yet.
Thanks to all of you for your fine
work.

Comments from the
President-Elect
08/30/2010
 The
August Texas-Oklahoma Convention in Abilene was well
attended and included forums on items of interest to clubs
and their members.
There were several forums on T-O Governor Designate
Sam Curry’s new Step Up Program for the 2010-2011 Kiwanis
year. We will be
hearing more about this program throughout the year from
incoming Lt. Governor Bill Rives.
There were three (3) candidates for the
2011-2012 T-O Governor Elect: Alton Gardner, Susan Hennum
and Ann Wilkins.
All three (3) are long-time, very active Kiwanians.
In a run-off with Ann Wilkins the delegates elected
Susan Hennum. I
believe Susan will bring youth, energy and enthusiasm to our
District.
Next year the T-O Convention is at sea,
departing from Galveston, going to Cozumel and back to
Galveston. This
Convention at Sea was held successfully in 2006.
All meetings are held during the cruise with a day
off in Cozumel for R and R.
The following year, 2012, the T-O convention will be
in Killeen.
Mark
your calendars for December 18.
There will be a full day celebrating Kiwanis!
The schedule includes a Step Up Check Up and the
annual Governor’s visit to Division 24 with a luncheon where
the Keynote speaker will be Kiwanis International President
Sylvester Neal. The
planning for this day is being done by Divisions 24, 23 and
38, covering Kiwanis clubs in central Texas from the City of
West south to Sequin, west to Fredericksburg and east to
Bastrop. Let’s
all plan on volunteering to help Lt. Governor Bill for this
big occasion.
Former T-O Governor Gene Jantzen once
again ably taught Club Leadership Education (CLE) for
Division 24.
Although the training and training manual are specifically
for incoming presidents, secretaries and treasurers, it is a
learning experience for any Kiwanian attending.
Your 2010-2011 Club’s Board of Directors was well
represented by six (6) of its 11 members.
At least three of those six attending have done so
more than once.
Our Kiwanis 2010-2011 year starts on
October 1. John
Hopper will be doing his wrap-up program for the 2009-2010
year on September 28.
My congratulations to him for a job well done!
He should be very proud of what has been accomplished
by our club this year.
On October 5 the new Board of Directors
will be inducted into office and a new year begins.
In the coming months you will be introduced to all
the members who have agreed to serve your club.
I am really looking forward to working with everyone
this coming year!
Gayle Noble
