9/1/2009 - District: Minnesota-Dakotas - Submitted by: Bill Lardy, Governor

Minnesota Dakotas Kiwanis leaders continue racing to the finish line, the end of the Kiwanis year, September 30. Many goals remain within reach. I encourage club presidents, club membership chairs and other club committee chairs to make one last valiant effort to attain the goals set last year. With many needs unmet we have 4 weeks left to make a difference. International President Don Canaday rallies all of us to race across the finish line, to not walk across it! As we complete another year, I need to thank those who have worked hard to make this year memorable. Club Presidents: The work of Kiwanis work is done in each club in every community and your leadership has changed children's lives because you have led your clubs well. Thank you for making that happen. To each Region's Lt. Governor Team: Thank you for being part of District Leadership and making a huge difference in your region and the District. You can be proud of what we have done together. Working with you has been an inspiration. Thank you to the District Executive Board. Working on an almost daily basis with the Board, who are totally committed to Kiwanis and Kiwanis service, has given me great friends for a lifetime and the chance to know and be part of a truly exceptional team. To all Kiwanians of the Minnesota Dakotas District: Thank you for the greatest privilege of my life, the opportunity to be your Governor. I cannot fully express my gratitude for the chance to meet and know and work with so many people who are absolutely dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.  Each and every one of you has made a difference in my life and I will be forever grateful! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. To Bruce Klair: Good luck and best wishes. The District will be better because of your service. Thank you for your leadership.
