Valarie Brown-Klingelhoefer

2022 - 2023 CNH District Governor

Aloha,

It’s hard to believe that DCON 2023 is almost here! We are in the sprint part of the fourth quarter of our Kiwanis year. The Cal-Nev-HA District has been doing exceedingly well in recruiting new members. I want to send out a big welcome to our new clubs around the District Kiwanis Club of Aliso Viejo California, Kiwanis Club of Downtown Las Vegas, Kiwanis Club of East Garrison, Kiwanis Club of Laguna Niguel, Kiwanis Club of Monterey County Benefiting Foster Youth, and Kiwanis Club of Redding-Sundial. We are currently bringing Kiwanis to nine more communities by the end of the Kiwanis year.

We are on the verge of having a blockbuster year of district membership growth Our Cal-Nev-HA District started the Kiwanis year on October 1, 2022, with 9,467 members in the district. As of July 15, 2023, we have 9,891 members. Many clubs have started pairing up long standing members with new members to implement the 2 for 2 membership initiative and sponsored club boost events.

There are 5 clubs in the district that have added 10 or more new members

Huntington Beach 10 new members (43%)

Old Town Clovis 10 new members (31.25%)

Greater Turlock 11 new members (22%)

South Gate 11 new members (41%)

Lincoln Foothills 17 new members (18.2%)

I want to give a special shoutout to those clubs who have shown a significant gain as a percentage of their starting membership from October 2022 to June 2023:
