The Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation is pleased to announce that six Kiwanians were recently elected to become Directors of our Board effective October 1, 2016. This group of professionals will join our current Directors who are tasked with shaping and steering our Foundation by providing their time, support, feedback and insight. Our Directors also support the mission and values of our Foundation, and act as ambassadors throughout the Cal-Nev-Ha District.

We would also like to gratefully recognize and thank the Directors who are leaving our Board. The dedication, experience and drive of these Directors will sorely be missed. Thank you,  Cherice Gilliam, Evelyn Madison, Richard Olmstead, James Stinger, Sharron Varga, Elaine Villareal, Lanie Wheeler and Rae Whitby-Brummer for all of your hard work and dedication to our mission of building a better future for children - we sincerely appreciate it!
