My fellow Kiwanians,

  Joanne and I want thank each of you who joined us in 
  Tempe,  Arizona, August 5 - 8, 2010, as we celebrated yet
  another year of service for the youth in our communities.  We had one
  awesome convention with a few twists and turns.  Convention Chair
  Bobbi Caley, with support from her home club of Tempe Nuevo, made this
  a rich, rewarding and memorable experience.  Education Chair Herb
  Hayde arranged an excellent venue of classes, complete with a course description, to expand your
  Kiwanis education.  

  The fun started Thursday evening at the Special Kiwanis evening at the Arizona Diamondback 
  Baseball Game.  About 60 guests attended the game and enjoyed the All You Can Eat Section! 
  Friday morning the first LSSP (Large Scale Service Project) was held at Tempe Boys and Girls
  Club where breakfast was provided and games, including a clown making balloon toys for the
  kids were enjoyed by all.    Our New District Governor and Governor-Elect for the coming Kiwanis
  year was elected.  Governor Smith closed the evening thanking all of you for what you do to serve
  the children of your community, our District, and the world.

  The Saturday evening closed with a musical event with a little country, a little pop, and a little
  mo-town.  You should have seen the people out there with their dancing shoes.

  Yours in Service,

  Ron and Joanne
