Celebrating Service and Leadership: A Message from Lt. Governor Sophie Cabrera
Hello Kiwanians,
As we welcome 2026 I would like to thank you all for your incredible dedication and service this past year. This past year saw especially trying times and families struggling to stay afloat. Your efforts with food drives, food distributions, holiday meals, shopping at Christmas with our kiddos, clothes drives, back pack and school supply drives and providing opportunities for our kids and families to enjoy activities is inspiring. Kiwanians helping our neighbors, the children and families of our communities is service at its best. Thank you.
We have a fun filled year ahead of us with in-person DCMs and exciting training opportunities. It was great to see everyone at the in-person DCM in November so we are going to have more of those. January and February DCMs will be on zoom due to potential weather considerations, but starting in March we are back together. Auburn will be hosting our first Spring DCM which is guaranteed to be lots of fun. We are working on a date and venue.
Did I say exiting trainings? Mid-Year North is just around the corner – February 28, 2026 in San Jose. The District team has been working on adding new and innovative sessions that you won’t to miss and then stay for the CNH “Come Fly With Me” dinner and Gala for a fun celebration.
As an incentive to grow membership the District is hosting a contest where the club with most new members will receive a registration to Mid-Year North. I figured we could do that within our own Division. With 5 new members at the end of December 2025, Citrus Heights is the first club to get a comped registration. We will have another club winner at the end of January.
To date, the district has an increase of 250 members, Division 44 has an increase of 20. Great job, Division 44.
I am excited for this new year and all of the success that we will continue to have as we look at new projects and take on new challenges. This is going to be a year of service, community and great fun.
