LTG REPORT: 1/10/11: ed Division 1 RE: Online Club Reports 1/27/11: Attended the Weirton Aktion Cub meeting, installed all their members and officers. It was a wonderful time and I was very blessed to be able to be there for that event! 2/9/11: Attended the Wellsburg Kiwanis Awards Banquet at the Wellsburg Moose. 2/24/11: ed Division 1 RE: Division 1 Meeting Date 3/2/11: ed Division 1 RE: Meeting Agenda, Needing service projects, meetings, fundraising dates for newsletter, Kiwanis One Day poster, information on Dave Fuller, Club report request for board meeting 3/2/11: snail mailed letter with delegate forms 3/3/11: ed Division 1 Newsletter Division 1 Dish 3/4/11: Division 1 Meeting. We discussed possible new locations of clubs, LTG for 2011/2012, Mid Year, Membership, Sponsored Youth Programs, Online Training, Communication. 3/12/11: I m here at Mid Year!!! Issues: I am still having NO communication with Chester club. They have not submitted club reports online nor have they paid dues. I have called, ed, sent mail and I have no response from them. -The other issues are communication. It is VITAL to this organization to have communication. My most of my clubs are not informing me of dates to events, service projects, fundraisers, and special meetings. How can I help or be effective if I do not know what is going on? Furthermore how can we support each other (example: clubs attending each other s events/service projects/fundraisers) if we do not let each other know what is going on. We should not wait till board meetings or division meetings to find out what is going on with each club! -I was MIA for a few months due to some personal issues. However, I am back and during that time I made my self available to my Division via and phone calls (home or cell) evenings and weekends. -Happy Mid Year West Virginia Kiwanis and I hope everyone has a fantastic time! Don t forget to stop over and visit with West Virginia Circle K at the Microtel (Just across the parking lot)! Division 2 Divisional Report Barbara Ott I am fulfilling the unexpired term of Senta Provost, Lt. Govenor of Division 2. I have attempted to contacted the Parkersburg Downtown Club and have had zero response. I understand they have four paid members as of 9/30/2010. Wayne Sanders, Past-Lt. Governor of Division 2, made several attempts to revitalize the club, but to no avail. I plan to do some additional follow-up with this club. John Webb contacted a former St. Marys Kiwanian about restarting a Kiwanis Club in St. Marys. However, John was informed by this individual, that a Lions Club was formed and has since dissolved. We would still like to pursue the possibility of forming a club there since there was a Key Club at the high school.

6 The North Parkersburg Club gave 40 books to Pre-K students at Martin Elementary School and 40 books to the Pre- K students at the Franklin Elementary School. Four Parkersburg South High School Key Club members read to the children at the Franklin School event. The distribution of the books is made possible by the collection of K dollars by the members of the club. Over 320 books have been purchased using the K dollars. Also, 16 Library books were purchased to the 16 schools where the North Parkersburg Kiwanis Club sponsors a Service Leadership Program. Since the collection of K dollars began the members have collected over 1800 K dollars. Arrangements are being made to hold a meeting at the Wyngate Senior Living Community where two of the club members reside. It is a new concept of bringing a club meeting to some of our SENIOR club members. The membership of the North Parkersburg Club remains at 50. Four new members have joined the club, but unfortunately two members have passed away, and two were dropped for the lack of dues payment. SLP REPORT BY BARBARA OTT The PHS Key Club sponsored a PB&J (Parents Buddy and Join) event on Saturday, February 26 from 2-4pm with 15 parents and friends of PHS Key Club members attending. The Key Club members planned and carried out the event with a powerpoint information presentation about Kiwanis and Key Club and the need to support both organizations. Eight Kiwanis applications were distributed to parents and friends attending. Follow-up membership invitations will be sent to these individuals. However, the refreshments did NOT consist of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A Circle-K organizational and informational meeting was held at WVU-P on March 2 led by Christa Fry, and Chad from Marshall University Circle-K and Chad Gardner from Marietta College Circle- K. Bill and Barbara Ott attended from the North Parkersburg Kiwanis Club. Five prospective members were present and several students gave their names to Christa and Chad as interested in the formation of a club. A second meeting was held on Monday, March 7 and club officers were elected. Next meeting will be held following the spring breaks of Marshall University and Marietta College. K-Kids program at Neale Elementary School is currently in limbo do to the retirement of the advisor and no faculty member would accept the responsibility of being the advisor of the club. We are currently working with two parents to reorganize the K-Kids Club at the school. I would appreciate information from any of the District Kiwanis Clubs of new Service Leadership Program clubs being formed so that I can continue follow-up. Division 3 Division Report Sherry Charles North Harrison - Kevin Nuzum We gave $ to the Airport for a defibulator. We sent a letter to the Harrison County School Board endorsing a new North Harrison Middle School which is the area we serve as Kiwanians. We have not done much due to weather. We have been meeting once a month on Wednesdays at Noon at Jimmy's Diner. We always have 2 Key Clubbers present and we take care of their lunch. We also meet on the third Thursday of the month at 6:30p.m. We have been planning events for the spring. Our club will be sponsoring the Kiwanis Store at the Mid Year conference and our key clubbers will be helping us. We attended a Key Club meeting at Lincoln High School on Thursday morning.

We will be collecting food for the Lord's Pantry and we will be doing a trash pick-up in Haywood and Lumberport. See you on Saturday. The Bridgeport Club is having Buckwheat Day on March 19th at the Benedum center. Ray Richardson, President of the Fairmont Kiwanis Club: Last fall the Fairmont Club had a spaghetti dinner fund-raiser with the White Hall Club. We stuffed envelopes for the Union Mission for their mass mailing. We rang bells for the Salvation Army.

During February our club sponsored Bingo at the Maplewood Senior Living Community for residents on each Thursday evening. We had an average of 4 members each night (4 nights in all) attend the event and we called the bingo games, provided the prizes for the players and spent a great evening with residents at the Meadows (Maplewood) Our own Ky Jenkins, Clarksburg Kiwanis member, is director of Marketing at the facility and we have participated with the group in previous bingo events. Our club also provided a Welcome Basket for the first new baby boy born at UHC in January. We just completed the 35 Annual Radio Thon fund raising event held with WPDX Radio and our members sold 5-30 second ads to area businesses and supporters for $75.00 each. This may be the most successful event to date in the 35 years of holding Radio thon and this is the only major fundraising event held by Kiwanis Club of Clarksburg. We are sponsoring area youth sports teams, Harrison County Student Achievement Scholarships and of course the area Key Clubs are active as well. At our most recent meeting, Notre Dame Key Club members Colin Frosh and Joe Greer attended and provided a brief update of their activities. We are also planning a "field trip" to visit the Belden Brick factory in Amish Country in Ohio on April 5th and those details are being worked out even as I write this . That is a brief picture of what is happening with Kiwanis Club of Clarksburg - "Serving for over 90 Years" Clarksburg also partnered with Bridgeport, Salem/Doddridge and Northern Harrison County and purchased an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) for the North Central Regional Airport in Bridgeport. This device cost $1, and Clarksburg funded $1, of the price. The unit is mounted on the wall at the airport now and we will be purchasing appropriate sign/plaque to recognize area Kiwanis for providing this potentially life-saving device for those traveling in and out of our local airport.

Total member count was 1,367. As of March 2, 2011, we have 56 clubs, 43 of which are listed as active, and 13 as inactive, with a total of 1,266 members. Several clubs have not yet paid dues Bridgeport, Grafton, Liberty (Harrison), North Marion, Oak Glen, South Harrison, and Wheeling Park.

The 13 inactive clubs are Bishop Donahue, East Fairmont, Keyser, Oak Hill, Philip Barbour, Poca, Robert C. Byrd, Spring Valley, St. Albans, Summers County, Trinity, Tucker County, and Winfield. I expect that East Fairmont, Keyser, Robert C. Byrd and Summers County will be reactivated. Lincoln and Tug Valley were reactivated earlier this year. The remaining clubs have been inactive for several years. We chartered new clubs this year at University High in Morgantown (Suncrest Area) and Burch High School (Red Jacket).

We are going to award two matching $1, district scholarships (to any college or university), and two Thomas Bennett scholarships (West Virginia University. I will be asking The West Virginia District Kiwanis Foundation for a donation to help with the funding of the matching amounts from the Kiwanis International Foundation.
