David’s Visit Continued
After that, we headed to visit WNMU.
After a campus tour, we had an afternoon
filled with fun and service! Our service
project was to help pack 270 backpacks
filled with food at the Volunteer Center.
This helped to launch this year’s Alimento
para el Nino food backpack program for
needy children in area schools. The
program offers an opportunity for children
living in home situations where there is
not enough food have much needed food
to get through the weekend. CKI WNMU
Advisor, Lori Bonomo, with David Limjoco,
and me, Serina Pack, were very happy to
spend our afternoon helping children.
Afterward, it was off to a successful
recruitment event for WNMU CKI on
campus. With pizza and friends coming
together, the values of CKI were
discussed. WNMU CKI president, Kale
Ghan, kicked off her year at this event.
The night was completed, when the
President of WNMU, Dr. Shepard and his
wife, joined WNMU CKI members,
members of Kiwanis Club of Silver City,
and Bob Carson, Southwest District CKI
Administrator, at an historic location north
of Silver City, Pinos Altos Restaurant and
Opera House. CKI WNMU paused for a
moment for a photo opportunity on the
1803 stage inside the historic site as it
rained outside, before the farewell dinner
to Rio Grande Division that honored
David’s official visit. On Friday, I drove
David to Tucson for the rest of his visit to
the Southwest District. What an incredible
time it was. Overall, David’s visit involved
five universities, in three states, as he
traveled over 600 miles by car. Thanks
David for coming. I hope it will be a time
you will long remember.
Sincerely Submitted,
Serina Pack – Lt. Governor Rio Grande
