Welcome to Cal-Nev-Ha Division 42!

Division 42 Kiwanians-

As my term comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve as your Lieutenant Governor. This year has been a testament to the power of service, fellowship, and commitment to making a difference in the lives of children and families in our CommUnities.

Special thanks go to all the dedicated Presidents, Officers, and SLP’s who worked tirelessly to ensure another successful year. Together, we accomplished so much. Highlights include the Camarillo Kiwanis Club receiving a proclamation from the City of Camarillo, and the Thayer family, led by Lynda Thayer, being honored for their years of service and dedication to their community. Special recognition and thank you to Nick Esser for his dedicated contribution to our award-winning newsletter.

We continued our tradition of honoring and supporting students through the TERRIFIC Kids program and by hosting the Annual Oxnard Track Meet. Our youth shined brightly, with KIWIN’S proudly bringing home the first place Spirit Stick from Knott’s Berry Farm and Division 42W Key Club placing in the Top 3 at Magic Mountain. These achievements reflect the strength, energy, and enthusiasm of our student leaders.

Fellowship was equally important this year. From cheering together at a Dodgers game alongside our former Governor to volunteering side by side at community events such as Relay for Life, Wheels to the Sea, the Groundhog 5K, the Turkey Run, working on the Rose Parade float, blood drives, community beautification projects, and sock donations. WE made lasting memories while giving back.

We also recognized community members whose unwavering service continues to inspire us all. Perhaps most importantly, we invested in the future by providing over $25,000 in scholarships to deserving students across our Division.

As I pass the torch, I want to wish the incoming Lieutenant Governor, Paul Lopez, the very best for the year ahead. I know you will continue to build on our vision and mission of service and community. Thank you, Division 42, for trusting me with the privilege of serving as your Lieutenant Governor. Let us always keep the community first as we work together to provide children and families with opportunities, resources, and hope.

Please keep Past Lt. Gov. Debbie in our thoughts and prayers!

In service and gratitude,

Temo Solorio
