Senate Concurrent RESOLUTION—Designating April 3, 2003, as Kiwanis Day in the State of Nevada.

 

    Whereas, Eighty-eight 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 3, 2003, 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 Mark W. McDonald

and Governor-Elect Les G. Wixon, Lieutenant Governor Paul A.

Richied and Lieutenant Governor-Elect Edward Lynn of Division

23, Lieutenant Governor Phillip A. Kohen and Lieutenant

Governor-Elect Elaine Goins of Division 28, and Lieutenant

Governor George H. Alm and Lieutenant Governor-Elect Steven

Lee of Division 45.
