Senate Concurrent RESOLUTION—Designating April 5, 2001, as Kiwanis Day in the State of Nevada.

 

1-1     Whereas, Eighty-six years ago the “Benevolent Order Brothers” was

1-2  organized in Detroit, Michigan, on January 21, 1915, with the goal of

1-3  having “a mutual exchange of preferred treatment in professional and

1-4  business dealings”; and

1-5     Whereas, The following year the club’s name was changed to

1-6  “Kiwanis,” a form of “Nunc Kee-wanis,” an Otchipew Native American

1-7  phrase which means “We make a noise,” “We have a good time” or “We

1-8  trade or advertise”; and

1-9     Whereas, The members of Kiwanis work toward six principles, (1) the

1-10  primacy of spiritual values, (2) living by the Golden Rule, (3) adhering to

1-11  high standards, (4) engendering strong citizenship, (5) building better

1-12  communities through service, and (6) assisting in the formation of sound

1-13  public opinion; and

2-1     Whereas, Since 1917, the California, Nevada and Hawaii district,

2-2  CAL-NEV-HA, has become the largest district in Kiwanis International;

2-3  and

2-4     Whereas, The State of Nevada is proud of its own divisions, which

2-5  consist of Division 23 of Northern Nevada, Division 28 of Southern

2-6  Nevada and Division 45 of Central Nevada, for their long history of service

2-7  to communities in this state; now, therefore, be it

2-8     Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly

2-9  Concurring, That the members of the Nevada Legislature hereby

2-10  designate April 5, 2001, as Kiwanis Day in the State of Nevada, in

2-11  recognition of the dedication toward helping others and the

2-12  accomplishments achieved by the members of Kiwanis while serving their

2-13  communities; and be it further

2-14     Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy

2-15  of this resolution to Governor R. Tom Vildibill, Sr., Governor-Elect James

2-16  G. Mason and Lieutenant Governors Marshall Roberson of Division 23,

2-17  Peter Falger of Division 28 and Michael R. Mader of Division 45.
