Governor Baugh will give the Capital District members an update on his “Spread the Word” campaign including service activities, membership, and programs within the Capital District. A conference workshop overview and the speakers from today’s sessions will be announced.
9:00am – 9:30am Keynote Speaker Presenter: Dr. Peter Gretz, Superintendent of Middlesex County Public Schools
We’ve all seen or heard the hashtag #kidsneedkiwanis, but what does that mean from the perspective of “the kids”? Dr. Peter Gretz, Superintendent of Middlesex, VA Public Schools, will discuss his experience in working with Kiwanis and how a Kiwanis club can make a difference by supporting their local school systems. He will also provide his views as to the direction schools will need to take as we come out of the current Covid-19 environment. Finally, he will suggest ways in which Kiwanis clubs might support their local schools in this process.
9:40am – 10:00am Kiwanis is a global organization Presenter: Albertcook Isingoma, Charter President – Kiwanis Club of Nakawa, Uganda
Learn about our clubs, what we do, and how you can help my vision for Africa to have a District of its own by the year 2022. We don’t want to just form clubs, but initiate strong and sustainable clubs like my own which is ACTIVE, RELIABLE AND RESULT ORIENTED. Our club’s impact is felt in the following fields: Helping children with cancer, children living positively with HIV/AIDS, the elderly in up country areas, persons abled differently, orphans, single mothers and expectant mothers in the country, paying tuition fees for bright kids who come from humble beginnings but can’t access education, and delivering motivational talks in schools.
10:05am – 10:25am Of Volunteers Moderator: Caren Schumacher, Capital District Membership/ Growth Chair
Volunteering has been defined as a voluntary act of an individual or group freely giving time and labor for community service. Isn’t that why people join Kiwanis, to serve their community? Members stay engaged in Kiwanis when they see their efforts are improving their communities and making a quantifiable difference in the lives of children. With COVID restrictions still in place, clubs need to be creative in their thinking, and discover new ways to fundraise and implement service projects. COVID restrictions will not last forever, so planning ahead for new ways to build hands for service should also be on every club’s “to do” list.
A panel of Kiwanians from three different clubs – small, medium and large – will talk about their successes pre-COVID and during the COVID pandemic. Volunteering and membership go hand-in-hand. Clubs need to keep our members engaged so they continue to be active participants in the Kiwanis family. Caren Schumacher, Capital District Membership Coordinator will moderate the discussion.
10:30am – 10:50am Dedicated to Improving the World Presenter: Chris Frye, Charter Member Kiwanis Next Gen E-Club

We all want Kiwanis to be a force for good in our communities and working together while understanding our differences can help us function as ONE unit and change the world for the better.
11:45am – 12:05pm At A Time Presenter: Christine Johnson, Division 5 Lieutenant Governor
When Christine Johnson moved to the Capital District from New Jersey, she had an idea – why not combine Kiwanis service with a hobby that people love? She started Karwanis events and fundraisers specifically geared to car-enthusiasts.
