As we enter our new Kiwanis Year in October not only will we have a new Governor (Kristin Holden) but we will also be in a NEW Division. Our new Division is # 4 and will only have NH Clubs in our Division. It will be made up of the following clubs; Salem, Hudson, Nashua, Manchester, Hooksett, Concord, Laconia, Seacoast and Exeter. The Lt. Governor will be Laura Nesmith and her current email address is: [email protected]
Below is a message from Governor Kristin Holden as we start our new year…
Happy New Year!
Feels funny saying that when it has been 80 degrees here in CT for the last couple of weeks, but with the leaves falling and kids back at school it definitely means it is the start of the Kiwanis new year. I am so excited to be the New England and Bermuda District Governor this year and am looking forward to getting out and meeting all of you! I have had the opportunity to already attend a couple of signature club events and officer installations this September and I can’t wait to get out to more this year.
The District is continuing to grow with the charter celebration of the Greater Enfield Kiwanis in August, with eight members from the club also joining us at District Convention! I am excited to announce that this past week the Membership Committee was in Lebanon, NH and White River Junction, VT working on building the Upper Valley Kiwanis Club. We can’t wait to see the impact these new clubs have on their community!
As I have mentioned before over the last year as Governor-Elect, my goal is to make the District leadership more visible and accessible to the clubs and members. To that end, I will be hosting my first Office Hours of my term on Tuesday, October 15 at 7pm EST via Zoom. I encourage anyone who has questions, concerns or just wants to chat to join me!
As you may have read in the Yankiwanian that came out mid-September or heard about it from me, we are moving to a condensed monthly publication of the Yankiwanian. By switching up the format, I hope that the information needed gets out to clubs in a timely manner and it doesn’t take a long time to read. This will be a work in progress so if there is anything you would like to see, please reach out. I greatly appreciate Governor Elect Adam helping me get this new format launched and if there is anyone that is interested in helping, please let me know.
Cheers to this new year and all that it holds!
Yours in Kiwanis,
Governor Kristin
Lebanon, NH /White River, VT Club Building
You may recall in recent editions of this Newsletter that there was a request for members to help in a New Club Building for the Lebanon, NH/White River Junction. The week of 9-23-24 we were up there doing just that. Below is a picture from their first meeting. During the week we had 6-7 District Members helping in the effort. While we were only able to sign up five members this first week we have some real dedicated new members as well as some dedicated District Membership Committee Members who will continue to work on building this club. Stay tuned for updates and certainly if you are interested in helping you can contact Bob Willey[email protected]

Barry Chisholm of New Hampshire, Receives Key Club’s highest honor...
Barry recently received the organization’s highest recognition award, the Key of Honor at the Key Club international convention! Chisholm has served as an advisor for the Kennett High School Key Club in Conway, New Hampshire, U.S., since 2006.
He first served as the club’s faculty advisor when he joined Kennett in 2006 as a special education teacher, after a lengthy career in the United States Air Force. Chisholm retired from Kennett in 2011 and then became an advisor representing the Key Club’s sponsor, the Kiwanis Club of Mount Washington Valley, North Conway, of which he is a member.
A highlight of Chisholm’s Key Club experience is his involvement with Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine, U.S. Camp Sunshine provides respite, support, joy and hope to children with life-threatening diseases and their immediate families. Chisholm has taken Key Club members to camp sessions annually since he became a club advisor in 2006, stopping only during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, he received a “6 Who Care” award from News Center Maine for his work with Camp Sunshine.
