A Message from President Mike Dickey
These dog days of 2016 seem slow and sultry, but our club is taking advantage of
the pause to consider who we are and where we want to go as an organization.
President-elect Eric has asked you all to complete a survey that solicits your likes,
dislikes and hopes for this club, in an effort to make Kiwanis the best it can be.
Have you filled out yours yet? Part of what makes this club so special is the
diversity of backgrounds and ideas among our members, and giving us your
insights is as important as showing up to serve pancakes (but don’t pick one over
the other—we need you for both!). Further, Eric has taken the time to ask for your
inputs regarding where you feel called to serve. Give that one some prayerful
consideration, and make a commitment to get more involved as the weather cools
and the calendar fills with volunteer opportunities. In the meantime, enjoy your
summer, and we’ll see you at the next meeting.
How important is your vote?
In 1649, one vote caused
Charles I of England to be
executed.
In 1845, one vote brought
Texas into the union.
In 1876, one vote gave
Rutherford B. Hayes the
Presidency of the US.
In 1923, one vote gave Adolph
Hitler leadership of the Nazi
Party.
In 1988, Carlos Valdes
defeated Miguel De Grandy by
a single vote in Florida’s
second primary and went on to
win a seat in the State House of
Representatives.
School begins on August 18th. Let’s help our SLP Clubs jumpstart the new year!
Kiwanis College
The first Kiwanis motto, “We Build,”
was adopted in 1920. It was proposed
by Roe Fulkerson, first editor of the
Kiwanis Magazine. “God inspired me
to write those two words—We Build,”
Fulkerson said. “I am prouder of them
than any other accomplishment in my
life.” That accomplishment served as
the Kiwanis motto for 85 years. A
bronze bust of Mr. Fulkerson is on
display at the international office in
Indianapolis. 15 years ago, after
careful consideration, it was changed
to “Serving the Children of the
World” to better define our purpose.
What is Kiwanis………………?
“Kiwanis is a global organization
of volunteers dedicated to
improving the world one child
and one community at a time”

Leaders Leaving a Legacy for the Children
In 2000, the presidential election
was decided by less than 600
votes.
In 2000, the Mayor for Panama
City Beach was decided by one
vote.
In 2004, a Springfield
Commissioner race was decided
by one vote.
In 2006, a Bay County School
Board race was decided by two
votes.
Get out and vote on August 30th as
you might be the deciding factor.

Free Invitation Kiwanis makes
communities better
through more than 6
million hours of service
each year. Every member
represents 36 hours that
improve lives every year.
Think about what could
happen if we all shared our
Kiwanis stories—and
inspired others to become
a part of our club. To add a
little incentive, the board
has waived the $50 new
member fee until Sept. 30th
so invite someone to join
today.
RECOGNIZING Exceptional Kiwanians
THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE!

Day for Kids America does not have an
official day to celebrate its
children, so the Boys &
Girls Club is working to
change that by
establishing the 3rd
Saturday in September
each year as Boys & Girls
Clubs Day for Kids.
That’s Sept. 17th and we’ll
be helping serve 1500
youngsters hot dogs &
hamburgers at this free
event. Your help is
needed, and we are also
providing the funds to
purchase the food.
