A Word from the President˝
Kudos to the members of Kiwanis Club of
Portland for their participation in Kiwanis
One Day which we honored during the
month of April. This year the membership
committee, spearheaded by Sandi Page,
energized our membership by inviting
them to participate and bring their friends.
I’m proud to report that over 80% of our
membership responded. Kiwanis One Day
is an internationally coordinated day of service and all Kiwanis
Clubs world-wide are called to participate. The effort not only helps
the communities served but it is a good promotion for Kiwanis.
This year we did our part by packaging food products at the
Oregon Food Bank or by preparing and serving food at P:ear, a
program that creatively mentors homeless youth.

KCOP-ers Travel˝
Marilyn Schultz, a long time Kiwanian and Past President of KCOP, and now also the Prime Minister of the
Royal Rosarians has just returned from a trip exploring the high points of England, Wales and Scotland.
Joining her were fellow KCOP ers, Dorothy Connet, Leo Reinikka and Tom Sagerser.
Four nights in London were followed by a day at Winsor Castle, a short visit to Oxford University and the late
afternoon and the night at Ruthin Castle, Wales in the English Lake District where the Royal Rosarian Rose
Ceremony was performed, planting a rose to honor the Manager of the Castle.
Edinburgh, Scotland, York, England then off to Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s home town, Stonehenge
all were visited during the 12 day event. What was the high point of the trip? Every day was memorable!
If you have more than a minute or two, and have a question about the trip, ask Marilyn, Leo, Dorothy or Tom.
Rose Festival Breakfast˝
Everyone who reads this Newsletter should leap at the chance to spend part of their morning on
Wednesday June 3rd starting at 7:45 AM at the Benson Hotel. The reason? The entire Court of Rosaria will
be there for breakfast and to introduce themselves to all who are in attendance. The princesses will be
distributed around the many breakfast tables, and you can meet and talk with them one on one. In addition,
each princess will be interviewed by KPTV Channel 12’s News Anchor/Reporter, Debra Gil. Also, the
princesses often perform a little skit.
Many Royal Rosarians will also be in attendance lead by Marilyn Schultz, Prime Minister, who is also a
member of Kiwanis Club of Portland.
The morning will be festive and entertaining, guaranteed. The cost is $25 per person

Your purchase will benefit the Kiwanis Fellowship Program at OHSU
In a unique collaboration with the
staff at Doernbecher, the Kiwanis
Fellowship Program was established
more than 25 years ago to help train
the “next generation” of specialists and
researchers in childhood cancers.
The best doctors spend three years
in post-residency training, treating
patients and engaging in cutting
edge research at OHSU, helping to
find the causes and cures for pediatric
oncology/hematology.

MARGIE’S MARATHON
WALKING FOR CANCER RESEARCH
On June 13th I will be walking 34 laps of
Summerlake Park (11450 SW Winterlake
Dr., Tigard).………..…that is a marathon.
I am asking for pledges for each lap I
finish.
All the money I raise will go to the
fellowship program at Doernbecher
Children’s Hospital. Doctors in this
program are on the leading edge of
children’s cancer research.
There are three ways you can help me with
this project:
•
•
•
Pledge an amount per lap. Any amount
will help.
Sit at my support table and help with my
food and water needs. Chart my
performance and condition after each
lap.
Walk with me. The perimeter of the park
is just under one mile. I plan to start at
6:00AM and finish around 6:00PM.
On June 12th, I will be having dinner at Cafe’ Allegro in Tigard to load up on carbs. I would love to
have my friends join me.
If you can help me with this project, please contact me at my e-mail address below.

Dear PNW District Kiwanians,
Now is a great time to start planning for the 98th
Annual District Convention in Portland, Oregon,
August 20-23, 2015 at the Red Lion Hotel Jantzen
Beach.
Registration and information materials will be going up on
the PNW website in the next couple weeks.
Why should you go to District Convention?
• As a delegate you will vote on important PNW
Kiwanis District business.
• Learn something new by attending one of the many
educational forums and training sessions.
• Most of all to have fun and make new friends in
Kiwanis.
It is an experience you should not miss and we hope to
see you there!
!
