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

 

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

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

 having “a mutual exchange of preferred treatment in professional and

 business dealings”; and

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

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

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

 trade or advertise”; and

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

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

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

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

 public opinion; and

   Whereas, Since 1917, the California, Nevada and Hawaii district,

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

 and

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

 consist of Division 23 of Northern Nevada, Division 28 of Southern

 Nevada and Division 45 of Central Nevada, for their long history of

 service to communities in this state; now, therefore, be it

   Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly

 Concurring, That the members of the Nevada Legislature hereby

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

 recognition of the dedication toward helping others and the

 accomplishments achieved by the members of Kiwanis while serving their

 communities; and be it further

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

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

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

 Peter Falger of Division 28 and Michael R. Mader of Division 45.
