So… What’s Project Eliminate? What’s MNT?
With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis
International and UNICEF have joined forces to
eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This
deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000
innocent babies and a significant number of
women each year. The effects of the disease are
excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated,
painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light
and touch.
To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than
100 million mothers and their future babies must
be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes,
safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled
staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and
the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member
of the Kiwanis family.
There were 59 countries affected by MNT
but due to 20 years of hard work and dedication
of Kiwanis and Unicef, 31 countries has eliminated
MNT. Now there are 28 countries standing in the
way of a MNT free world.
Last month at the May DCM, we held a
Project Eliminate jar decorating contest.
Members teamed up into groups consisting of
people from other schools. The paired schools
were: Edison & Marina, Fountain Valley &
OCSA, La Quinta & Garden Grove, and Los
Amigos & Segerstrom. The Divisional Board
was put in charge of judging the contest, and
the winner was . . .

Kelly Ma, Lilli Nguyen, & Ashley Nguyen from
Marina! Congratulations on making the cutest
jar at the DCM!
Who raised the most money?
Congratulations to Marina for raising
the most money!! They raised a total of $1030
by carrying out various projects throughout
the week, most notably their cat food
challenge. In second place came Edison with
their total of $170. They also had their own
methods to raise money during the week,
including a fundraiser at Frostbites and selling
some super cute Project Eliminate pins. What’s
that? You want to buy a pin too? Keep
reading to learn how you can get one
yourself.
As a division, we have raised a grand
total of $1754.05! Thank you to all the
manatees who helped make this possible!

The annual Jet Divisional Banquet was
held on Saturday, June 12th at Kiwanisland in
Garden Grove. There was delicious catering
from Stonefire Grill, cute decorations,
memorable pictures, an entertaining pageant,
and of course, lovely manatees. A special
thanks to both District Board and IP District
Board for driving all the way to come to our
banquet! It was wonderful to have you there
to celebrate a successful year with us.
Shout-outs were available for $1 each,
as well as merchandise for Project Eliminate.
All the profits made from these will be going
to Eliminate! Throughout the banquet
members were able to walk around and take
super cute pictures at our photo booth and
also around Kiwanisland itself. After eating
dinner, members gathered around the stage
area to take part in the DCM. Congratulations
to all the schools and manatees who were
recognized for their hard work! Want to know
who received special recognition? Keep
reading to find out! After the DCM began the
Mr. Manatee pageant where five talented
guys competed for the title of Mr. Manatee.
The 2014 – 2015 Jet Presibaes also performed
their winning dance routine. Like always, it was
a crowd favorite.
It was truly a night filled with our one of
a kind Jet Manatee love. I want to thank
everyone who came to join us to say our final
goodbyes to the seniors and to celebrate our
success as a division. I hope you guys had a
terrific time! So unteal we meet again . . .

Steven Chun deserves the award
for Member of the Month because
he has shown great enthusiasm in
being a club member. Although he
was originally a fervent member of Key Club (and he "still loves
Key Club in his heart the most"), he joined KIWIN'S at Edison
High School in order to perform more service. He plays on the
Key Club x KIWIN'S "rivalry." but still, it is obvious that his
loyalties lie to service, not a club. In fact, I like to call him, as
anime-lovers know, a "tsundere." He appears cold and
unaffectionate toward KIWIN'S, yet we can all see by his actions
that he truly likes the club and helping out the community. He
has shown KIWIN’S spirit by participating in all
five days for Eliminate Week and wearing blue
face paint for Eliminate Week, despite not
many other members joining him. He doesn't
mind standing alone in his love for the club.
Steven also shows great enthusiasm at events,
urging his other friends to come along, and he
has shown genuine care toward his club mates,
such as asking me (club president) if I was
alright when I seemed down at an event. He
has attended 4 service events this month with
Edison KIWIN'S, missing solely one event, a
Spring Faire, in order to attend the OC
Marathon with Key Club.
Kim Nguyen, the Los Amigos
Secretary, deserves to be the
club officer of the month
because she has shown
leadership and taken on
responsibilities that she was not expecting Kim has been
the most reliable person on board and I always reach out
to her when I need help. She has a positive attitude and
never complains about having to look for events, attending
events, or being the leader. Kim has grown so much from
just two months of being on board and she has a great
future ahead of her in KIWIN'S.
Fountain Valley definitely
deserved club of the month for
having the most service events and service
hours for this month and also showing one of
the biggest increases from last month!

Kyle Le (’16) from Edison High School is the new Mr. Manatee! He showed off his talent
throughout the whole pageant. He showcased his dancing skills as he did some b-boy moves
and even some body rolls!! We could definitely see how spirited he is as he cheered his heart
out for KIWIN’S. In the questions portion, he showed how genuine he can be and we could
clearly see his love for this organization. Congratulations Kyle! You definitely deserved to be the
next Mr. Manatee.

Hello Jet Manatees! I'm being forced upon my will by Richie to
write this(haha just kidding), but here are my final notes for the
division!
Congrats to you whoever is reading this because you survived
a year with me leading all 750 of us!!! Teehee :))))
First of all, I just wanted to congratulate all 8 clubs in having a successful year for the 2014-2015
term! I was really great to watch and read about how your clubs are having more projects or having a
bigger board or any other way to expand in service!
Second! I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me for my term as Lieutenant
Governor and as well as the past four years of my KIWIN'S career. It really shows that with a handful of
friends, a dash of dedication, a sprinkle of spirit, and a whole lotta heart can go a very long way when
you give something you love 100% of yourself! I couldn't have done it without any of you members out
there who really kept me smiling!
And lastly, I wanted to just say as I fade into the past as an Immediate Past member, the love
from the KIWIN'S family will always follow me around everywhere I go! Whether it be during my new
path in Circle K or when I go to a park one day and see some of you KIWIN'S members as the Easter
Bunny or Freddy the Frog! Thank you for being the people I can turn to in my times of need and I hope
that you all can feel this KIWIN'S love that is so contagious as well.
Like what the great Jeffrey Dimsdale once said, "Even though your time is done, you are not." And
this quote overall means that you need to cherish the small moments you share with one another
because you not have 4 years in this organization!!!

A Picnic Fit for a Soldier | May 25th, 2015
"On May 25, Fountain Valley KIWIN’S helped out the community by
participating in Green Valley’s biggest event of the year. This
annual Memorial Day Picnic, which has been going on for years, is
a long kept tradition of Green Valley. Starting at 11:00 A.M., members participated in this event
by working in both food and game booths. The different food booths included beverages, ice
pops, and cotton candy. The cotton candy booth was especially exciting because members were
put in charge of making the cotton candy itself rather than only selling it. The members helping
out at food booths worked hard as children ran to the growing lines to purchase a snack after
exhausting themselves from playing at the game booths. There were various games available for
the public, including the traditional bounce house and the thrilling velcro wall. Here, members
made sure that the kids were safe by following a few safety precautions such as making sure
shoes were taken off before entering the bounce house and that the suits for the velcro wall
were properly worn. Fountain Valley KIWIN’S continued working at their assigned booths until
around 3:00 P.M."

Duck-A-Thon | May 16th, 2015
“On Saturday, May 16th, Marina KIWIN'S participated in
volunteering at the 23rd Annual Duck-A-Thon located at the
Huntington Beach Pier. Duck-A-Thon is a tradition of the city of
Huntington Beach, and includes an off-the-pier fundraiser that incorporates all the great qualities of Sand, Sun, Surf,
Food, and Rubber Duckies! In the beginning of the event, volunteers were able to manage
booths and carnival activities such as jumper houses, face painting, and ring tosses. Luckily this
year, Marina KIWIN'S had the awesome opportunity to participate another time in the rubber
ducky pick up in which volunteers competed against how fast they could pick up a rubber ducky
in time to return to shore to grab another. . Afterwards, volunteers headed towards where they
met up to talk about the rules of the rubber-ducky pickup while being assigned their numbers.
Minutes after the dumping of the rubber duckies, volunteers worked hard to pick up the duckies
as fast as possible by collecting handfuls into baskets. By the end of the event, the volunteers
were told that they finished in the quickest matter of time out all the years! In conclusion, all the
duckies were collected, put away, and organized all due to the help of the volunteers.”
