Deputy Governor

Debra Foggetti Uxbridge Kin Club

• Contact information: Home number 905-985-0032 and my email is kindeb@hotmail.com.
• I have been married to LM Tony Foggetti for the past 36 yrs.
• I have been a member of kin for approx 18 yrs. I have been a member of several clubs starting with the Port Perry Kinettes, when they folded Bowmanville Kinettes, then to the Kinsmen and Kinette Club of Pickering (due to the distance then transferred into the Uxbridge Kinsmen).
• I have held all offices at the club level some several times except for treasurer. I was zone coordinator a couple of times and CF Rep. I was also the District Coordinator for Jeanine Bolger and Les Mayer’s team.

My first time as Deputy Governor was 2010 – 2011 and I am staying on for the kin year 2011 – 2012. The best part of Kin for me is the knowledge I have gained but more importantly the friendships I have made through the years. I look forward to serving as Deputy Governor and if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

February 17, 2011
On behalf of Zone Durham I would like to congratulate LM Larry Kendall on receiving the Fellow Award from the Hal Rogers Foundation. The evening was a total surprise to LM Larry. He received the award for all his work on the Juno Beach project. The selling of bricks to clubs across Canada to help build the centre, the room at Juno dedicated to Kin where our flag stands proudly, to attending the opening on behalf of Kin Canada. The evening was very well attended including Diane Rogers, Foundation Member Kathy French, Governor Len Ptak, Vice Governor Kathy Alexander, DMD Bill Brown, the former members of the Port Perry Kinsmen (which LM Larry was the charter President), members of the clubs in the zone, and the Sutton Kinettes. I would like to thank everyone who attended and made this a memorable evening for LM Larry.

From the Desk of the Deputy Governor

Hi everyone. First off would like to thank all the presidents who attend the council meeting. Well were heading into our 4th month, I hope everyone is getting back into the swing of things.
DISTRICT
I attend FLC Nov 12-14. All the seminars were definitely amazing and worth attending. We had 75 members in attendance. First timers were overwhelmed. If you have never attended a conference or convention, or if it is been awhile please consider attending District in Sudbury I can assure you it will well be worth your time. We also have a DG who has an in with a bus company we are looking at a bus to district for 3 zones Halton/Peel, Durham, and Zone C. The feedback so far has been good. There would be one central pick up location in each zone, ours would probably be in the south probably looking at the Oshawa Centre as a central location. I think this is great you don’t have to worry about driving and can have some quality kin socializing on the way up and back. Another bonus is you can get as happy as you like on Sat night and not worry about driving. More info to follow. Please let me know ASAP if it something your club would be interested in and how many are attending District Convention June 10th-14th in Sudbury
A couple of things came out in the seminars:
1. Clubs are frustrated turning in projects for awards and then they just disappear. This year’s Award Chairperson Past Governor Ed Dawson has assured us all that any clubs competing for awards will receive a critique from him outlining what was good and what could possibly be worked on. I would like all clubs to consider entering for these awards.
2. The District banners have been retired and replaced with keeper plaques. If your club has a district banner could you please let me know ASAP kindeb@hotmail.com or 905-985-0032.
3. We have been issued a challenge by the district, which I know we can meet. We have a new category called mixology. With this year’s theme being 3 hour tour, District is asking each club to come up with a new drink called the SS Minnow.

ZONE'
Well the zone has also been very busy.
1. Please mark your calenders for Sat March 26th for Spring Conference which will be held at the Ajax Heritage Centre. More info to follow.
2. In regards to mixology please bring your drink with you along with a printed copy of the recipe, enough for approx 4-5 judges shot glass amounts. Once the winner is picked the winner will go onto district to compete for our zone. If the winning club has no members attending please make sure I have a copy of your recipe I would be willing to make your drink for competition.
3. At the last Presidents meeting we discussed the Portraits of Honour as a Zone Project when it goes on tour. The Oshawa Kinsmen and K-40 has taken the bull by the horns and trying to set up a meeting with PNP Bruce Lloyd to do a presentation. The tentative date is Jan 20th at the Ajax Heritage Centre. We would like to have a couple of members of all clubs in the zone to attend. More info to follow.
4. If your club has a zone banner could you please let me know kindeb@hotmail.com or 905-985-0032

Well I would like to thank both the Pickering Kinsmen and Kinettes and the Oshawa Kinsmen for their hospitality during my visitations. First off I was overwhelmed by the generous donation from Pickering towards a MRI machine for the Ajax-Pickering Hospital.
Oshawa it was a great dinner but must say all new to me. Think I proved I was not either a golfer or mini golfer seeing I pulled up the rear end (HaHa)

5. The next Zone Council Meeting will be held at zone co-coordinator Charlottes home. Until next time please keep healthy and busy.

Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments.

Last but not least please keep informed what it happening at both the district and zone level through the district website www.district8kin.ca kin Gary Gornik of Stouffville works very hard at keeping the website up to date. He would also appreciate any comments or photo’s you would like to submit of your club or a project you are involved in to put up on the website please send it to garygornik@rogers.com.

Wishing you a happy and healthy
Start to the holiday season

From the Zone Membership/Service Director

First off I hope each club as a membership director. Also I would like to encourage each club to hold a membership drive. I would be more then willing to come out and speak to your club and help with any membership drives you are interested in holding. As of Oct 31st Zone Durham is constant at 88 members. I know that we are going to grow by one as the Ajax Club as a new member. At National it was reported that for the first time since the early 70’s we have achieved a positive membership growth of one member. It finally seems we are in a growth mode. It will take all of us to keep this going. I applaud all the clubs for making growth a priority.

From the Service Side

Times they are a changing. This year will see the new CCFF logo launched.

Kin is also starting a new project to celebrate our 50th anniversary of partnership with the CCFF.”

One Dime at a Time
Beginning in 2010, the members of Kin Canada will participate in a special four-year fundraising campaign called ‘One Dime at a Time’. Kin members will collect and save their coins in specially designed containers until 2014 – the 50th anniversary of the Kin- CCFF partnership. This project is expected to raise $1 million which will be presented to the Foundation (along with their other fundraising donations) as a special 50th anniversary gift.

I will be looking into supplying the container for each club. I can’t stress this enough the money collected in these containers for this special project DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS YOUR ANNUAL CF DONATION.

National has a new project coming our way “The Portraits of Honour” This is a very big undertaking and is one of the most important things to come out of National in years. Past National President Bruce Lloyd will be heading up this project. If you want any information on this please go to the kin Canada national website and click on the link to the Portraits of Honour and the video is well worth watching.

Please feel free to contact me at anytime.

[edit] Stouffville Kinsmen Santa Parade

I want to take this opportunity to again thank you on behalf of Service Director Tony and myself for the invitation and participation in your Santa Claus. We had an absolute blast, would we do it again you bet ya. It was quite obvious how many years you have been doing this, Santa went up and down in less then an hour. And it was awesome to see how much fun your members had doing it.

We had the honour of watching the parade surrounded by children it was great to see the joy and excitement in their faces. If there ever comes a time where you think is this worth it please stand in the crowd and watch the little ones and you will get your answer.

Kin Gary thank you for your hospitality through the day. Kin Doug and Mary please accept our deepest thanks for your hospitality in your home that evening. Your club seems to make sure that there is always fellowship following these service projects.

Your club practices the top 2 rules in this association
1. Serving the communities greatest needs

I feel you have a very strong club with very strong goals and you are all members of this club and you are all there for the right reasons, to improve your community. Please keep up the good work, and the fellowship among your members. If you ever need our assistance again please do not hesitate to contact us.
