Governor Tom Ramiccio's
Logo & Theme
"Time To Serve"


2010-11 Governor Tom Ramiccio has issued "A Call To Action" for Kiwanis members and families to join together with The Children's Movement to attend the Milk Party Rallies throughout the Florida District. Kiwanians are encouraged to wear their Kiwanis apparrel and to kick off our new theme "Time to Serve" by being tireless advocates for children and children's issues. These Milk Party Rallies and the Gubernatorial Debates on the critical issues facing families and children are an outstanding example of how Kiwanians can play a leading role in child advocacy and addressing the needs of young children. This is not a political movement and we are not supporting candidates from one party or another. We are expressing our concerns for children, regardless of party affiliation.

Kiwanis has always been in the forefront of service. It's time to emphasize that Kiwanis makes Young Children: Priority One.

Simply attend a meeting of another club, including AKtion, Key, K-Kids, or another Kiwanis Club, a Division Council meeting, a club project, or a Board meeting.
With all these possibilities there is little reason not to have perfect attendance.
