I would like to thank the NY District for exceeding its goal of 1,000 members to 1,015 new members. It was the whole District that believed and entrusted your Governor to lead this great family of Kiwanians. It has been a great year -- I cherished each visit, project, and event. Cookie and myself made so many great new friends. When I say that we are a family, I mean every word of it.
2013-14 has been a fantastic year because of you! Together, we accomplished so much to be proud of. But, we cannot stop here. We need to continue to grow, and I want to educate our new members, and motivate them to become our future leaders. I want to thank all of the district chairs, lieutenant governors, presidents, secretaries and all the members. It's all of you that built so many more bridges for the future for our children. Kiwanis is in my heart and my heart will always be in Kiwanis.
Now it's time to say THANK YOU for a great year.
As of Oct. 1 I am the chair for the Formula. We will be having a conference call at least once a month to discuss strategies on growth, club building and retention. I hope you will be as motivated as I am on this new assignment. PDG Joe Eppolito and I will be working together to make our District stronger than ever.
To all 25 new lieutenant governors and to our new Gov. Eric Paul, I wish you all much success in 2014-15 year. We need to continue to work hard for the children, sponsored youth and for those who are need. I know all of you and feel extremely confident that you are motivated and have the energy to take our NY District to the top.
