Message From The Lt. Governor

John Brummer, Lt. Governor

Division 44 Kiwanians,

October has been a busy month. I've had the pleasure of attending

many club installations. My apologies to the clubs where I couldn't

make their installations. There were many with conflicting dates and

it was hard to pick just one. Thanks for the invitation to the events

and was fun meeting everyone and to install and retire the officers and

board members. The food was great!!!

As the Kiwanis New Year is a month old everyone is getting ready to

continue our great service to the kids and our community. As we get

ready to Hit a Home Run for Service. To accomplish this year we need

to add new members to our clubs. A good way to add new members is

to add corporate members and ask graduating Service Leadership

Program members to continue their service in the Kiwanis family.

You can get further information on how to do this by visiting the

Kiwanis International website.

I look forward meeting more members of our great division in the

coming weeks and months. I will be making my official visit to your

club. Please contact me so that we can get your club scheduled. At

my official visits I will share with your club the district and division

goals for 2019-2020 and answer any questions you might have. I have

a passion for Kiwanis how bout you?

See you at the November 11 Division Council Meeting (DCM)

John

Music Mike - Music & Interactive Fun

The chair for the Kiwanis Kids’ Concert this year was Sunday Barrow. The star of the concert was once again

Music Mike. What a wonderful event on September 30th at Lake Clementia. The kids were singing, marching,

rolling down the hill, and more. There would be no trouble getting them to go to bed Sunday night. Music Mike

might event be called Magic Mike. He involved kids of all ages and their parents in an event of pure entertainment.

Frank Hashorva was the official greeter. For most families it was a repeat event. They come every year. Happy

Birthday to a three year old!

Installation of New Officers and Directors Gathering a Fun Success

Sac Suburban’s 2019-2020 slate of officers and board members were sworn in at an installation BBQ hosted by Caren

and Bruce Lagomarsino on Sunday, Oct. 6 in their resort-like backyard. A BBQ meal of tri-tip steaks and chicken

breasts was accompanied by delicious pot luck dishes from the two dozen members and guests in attendance. The

Hawaiian and/or golf theme played well with both décor and attire (see photos below).

Lt Gov John Brummer was on hand to enjoy the event and to de-install the retiring team and install the new crew.

President Michael Brownell shared his vision for the up-coming year and generated teamwork and participation with

his enthusiasm. Rudy (the black lab) was on his best behavior as was Mike Gordon, resulting in no spontaneous

swimming. As has become the tradition, everyone was sent home with baggies of leftovers.

Speaker: Lt. Gov. John Brummer

Although John Brummer has been Lt. Governor in our area 3 times, this is the first time he spoke at our club for an

official visit. That is because previously he was the Lt. governor in Division 7 and won the Super distinguished award.

John is retired having worked for the state for 29 years and 3 years for the Bee. His favorite job was working as a paper boy for 10

years. John credits Kiwanis with helping him to get promoted to a management position with the state. Strange but true, his last

job was working as a paper boy for the Carmichael Times for 4 years. All of John's jobs were in the customer service field. This is

natural for John because he loves people and making new friends.

In his spare time John is a big baseball fan, likes to surf the internet and working out at the gym. He has run 8 marathons, 12

half marathons and numerous 10 K runs.

John has been in Kiwanis for 35 years. He belongs to the Kiwanis Clubs of Carmichael, Orangevale-Fair Oaks and East

Sacramento. He has been honored with a Hixon, Dunlap, Bright and Distinguished Service Awards. John was the Division

Secretary, Division Bulletin Editor, helped build 3 Kiwanis Clubs and was a member of the Kiwanis Family House Board of

Directors. John has held many positions in his Kiwanis Clubs but being an SLP adviser is his favorite activity in Kiwanis. John

met his wife Rae Whitby-Brummer through Kiwanis. She was the Governor for our

district in 2013-2014 and he was the "first guy."

John is proud to say "I am a stroke survivor not s victim”. The stroke occurred 3 years ago at a Kiwanis meeting. His goal is to

be a caregiver for a stroke survivor and also to teach a class in kindness. As Lt. Governor John has set some specific goals

including:

• Increase by at least 10 members for the division by the end of the year.

• Support the new Orangevale club.

• Helping each club to have a "Signature Project."

• Support SLP including new clubs.

• Encourage clubs to apply for grants from CNH Foundation or Kiwanis

• Children's Fund.

• Encourage clubs to utilize Kiwanis and community partners.

• Recognize and honor club members.

• Encourage use of the Division website, club websites and social media to promote events.

John's passion for baseball led to his theme to include the concept of teamwork in sports and the members being the MVPs. John

can be reached by phone at 916.508.3627 or email at [email protected]. We are honored to have such of a tremendous service

oriented person step up again to lead our division.
