From Better to Best: Kiwanis Division 2B Welcomes New Leaders and Members with Purpose and Heart
The Kiwanis Division 2B of the Philippine Luzon District (PLD) marked a proud milestone as all eight clubs gathered at the elegant Royce Hotel & Casino in Clark, Pampanga on November 29, 2024 for the Induction of New Members and Installation of New Officers for the Administrative Term 2024–2025 under the inspiring banner of “Better to Best, Building Up”, led by Lt. Governor Reynaldo M. Bonaobra.
The night was more than ceremony—it was a celebration of growth, unity, and service. With 41 new members inducted this year, Division 2B achieved an impressive 31.5% membership increase, a rare accomplishment in recent years. This growth reinforces the Division’s commitment to its mission: serving the children of the world, one community at a time.
A Gathering of Leaders and Friends
Gracing the momentous occasion was District Governor Felix “Jango” Grepo, alongside respected elders and leaders of the Philippine Luzon District. Other Kiwanis clubs from different divisions joined the celebration in a show of interclubbing camaraderie, extending warm congratulations to the newest members and the installed leaders of Division 2B.
The eight proud clubs under Division 2B are:
Kiwanis Club of Angeles City
Kiwanis Club of Bacolor
Kiwanis Club of Guagua New Generation
Kiwanis Club of Kuliat
Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems
Kiwanis Club of Mariveles
Kiwanis Club of Metro Tarlac
Kiwanis Club of Tres Heneracion
An Induction Steeped in Tradition and Emotion
As new members stepped forward to be officially welcomed into the Kiwanis family, the solemn yet uplifting tradition unfolded. The Kiwanis member pin was ceremoniously placed on each new inductee, symbolizing their commitment to uphold the 6 Objects of Kiwanis and live out its values of service, leadership, and fellowship.
The moment deepened when the beloved song “You Light Up My Life” played, with handshakes offered to each new member from fellow Kiwanians—an intimate and heartfelt welcome symbolic of the light they bring into the lives of children and communities.
Officers were similarly honored, receiving their officer pins, as the timeless anthem “If We Hold On Together” echoed through the hall—a reminder that together, with unwavering hope and shared vision, great things can be achieved. These songs are cherished staples of Kiwanis inductions, resonating with the spirit of unity and perseverance.
A Night of Fellowship and Celebration
The formal proceedings gave way to an evening of joy—filled with dancing, performances, laughter, and delicious food. The atmosphere was one of optimism and shared purpose. For the new members, it was a taste of the camaraderie, energy, and passion that define the Kiwanis experience.
Lt. Governor Rey Bonaobra expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the 143 Kiwanian attendees, for the overwhelming support from PLD leaders, Division 2B members, and interclubbing guests:
“It’s not just about numbers; it’s about building a stronger family of servant-leaders who share the same heart for children and community.”
Stewardship in Action: Strengthening Division 2B Fellowship and Service
The Joint Induction and Installation Celebration not only marked a milestone for Division 2B but also generated a surplus of ₱21,000. This amount was thoughtfully allocated to fuel the Division’s succeeding activities, ensuring that the spirit of service continued well beyond the event. The funds supported the Division Christmas Party on December 8, 2024, provided a Jollibee lunch treat for 40 ZumBata children who performed during Kiwanis Week, and covered expenses for the Wreath-Laying Ceremony held in commemoration of the same celebration. Additionally, tokens of appreciation were extended to District Secretary Mac Tancinco and District Education Chair Estie Vibora during the New Members Orientation, where 41 new members were warmly embraced into the Kiwanis family.
A Call to Serve with Passion
To the new members, the night was both a warm welcome and a challenge—to carry forward the Kiwanis mission with enthusiasm, to uphold its traditions, and to embody its purpose: improving the world one child and one community at a time.
As the “Better to Best, Building Up” term unfolds, Division 2B stands ready—stronger, bigger, and more united than ever—to create lasting impact for children and families across Pampanga and beyond.
