Celebrating Service and Leadership: A Message from Lt. Governor Charlayne Bowman
Hello amazing Kiwanians,
Greetings, Kiwanians of Division 44!
I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and high spirits. It has been a remarkable period for our division, filled with memorable events and significant achievements. Over the past months, we have come together in person, fostering fellowship, celebrating milestones and supporting our communities with great enthusiasm. Let’s reflect on some of the highlights together.
May 13, 2024 – Crystal Basin Winery DCM
Our season began with an unforgettable in-person Division Council Meeting at the scenic Crystal Basin Winery. It was a joyous occasion as 93 members gathered to enjoy local wine, appetizers, and most importantly, each other’s company. Together, we raised an impressive $1,240.00 for the Kiwanis Family House, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to supporting those in need.
June 10, 2024 – Canyon View Community Center DCM
The momentum continued with our second in-person DCM, hosted by Gold Country Kiwanis, at the Canyon View Community Center in Auburn. Despite challenges, 73 dedicated members attended. A huge THANK YOU to the Kiwanis Club of Auburn (particularly prepared by Auburn’s Secretary, Carrie Archilles) for the preparation of the dinner held at the event. We were privileged to hear inspirational speeches from Key Club Members Ashley Kim and Jasmine Yoset, who sought sponsorship for upcoming events. Thanks to the generosity of Paul Zappitini and others, we raised $880.00 in a spontaneous show of support for these Key Club members. These funds are earmarked to be used for these members to attend the ICON-International convention in Atlanta, Georgia. A significant highlight was the unanimous nomination of Sophie Cabrera for the 2025-2026 D44 Lt. Governor position, marking a pivotal step in our division’s leadership.
Other Notable Events
Our involvement extended beyond our regular meetings. We proudly participated in the Kiwanis Family House Gala on June 21, 2024, celebrating its 40-year anniversary and affirming our enduring support for this vital organization. Additionally, on June 22, 2024, the Kiwanis Club of Roseville commemorated its 75th anniversary with a special dinner, joined by local dignitaries and members, including myself. It was a privilege to honor their legacy of service and commitment to our community.
Looking Ahead
As we anticipate the months to come, let us carry forward the spirit of unity and service that defines Division 44. Your dedication and support are invaluable, making our community stronger each day. It is a true honor to serve alongside each of you, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to our division’s success.
