FILE NUMBER..........
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.
