1-1  Whereas, Eighty-eight years ago the “Benevolent Order

1-2  Brothers” was organized in Detroit, Michigan, on January 21, 1915,

1-3  with the goal of having “a mutual exchange of preferred treatment in

1-4  professional and 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

1-7  American phrase which means “We make a noise,” “We have a

1-8  good time” or “We trade or advertise”; and

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

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

1-11  (3) adhering to high standards, (4) engendering strong citizenship,

2-1  (5) building better communities through service, and (6) assisting in

2-2  the formation of sound public opinion; and

2-3  Whereas, Since 1917, the California, Nevada and Hawaii

2-4  District, CAL-NEV-HA, has become the largest district in Kiwanis

2-5  International; and

2-6  Whereas, The State of Nevada is proud of its own divisions,

2-7  which consist of Division 23 of Northern Nevada, Division 28 of

2-8  Southern Nevada and Division 45 of Central Nevada, for their long

2-9  history of service to communities in this state; now, therefore, be it

2-10      Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the

2-11  Assembly Concurring, That the members of the Nevada

2-12  Legislature hereby designate April 3, 2003, as Kiwanis Day in the

2-13  State of Nevada, in recognition of the dedication toward helping

2-14  others and the accomplishments achieved by the members of

2-15  Kiwanis while serving their communities; and be it further

2-16      Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and

2-17  transmit a copy of this resolution to Governor Mark W. McDonald
