At the 99th California-Nevada-Hawaii Kiwanis District Convention held in Las Vegas last week, Brad White-Findeisen of the Kiwanis Club of Twentynine Palms received a Distinguished Lieutenant Governor Award for 2017-18 on Saturday, August 17. White-Findeisen was the lieutenant governor for Division 47, which has 11 clubs spread from Twentynine Palms to El Centro to Hemet. During his year as the Division’s lieutenant governor, a new club was formed, the LGBT+ Club of Southern California with 15 members. In addition, the Division increased its giving average by more than 10 percent; in fact, it increased its contributions by more than $1000, thus meeting the Kiwanis Children’s Fund President’s Challenge.
