Division 35 is one of 44 Divisions in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Kiwanis International.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.
Kiwanis is made up of individual members of local clubs. The clubs set their own community and public service projects and goals, but are asked to unite with the other Kiwanis International clubs to make a difference worldwide.
The Clubs are organized into regional Divisions in order to best serve their communities.
Division 35 is made up of Kiwanis Clubs throughout the San Gabriel Valley, in Southern California, based in the following locations:
- Covina (South Hills)
- Duarte
- El Monte
- Glendora (2 Clubs -- Glendora & Glendora Kiwanianne)
- Hacienda Heights
- La Puente Industry
- Monrovia
- Sierra Madre
- Walnut Valley (serving Diamond Bar, Walnut & Rowland Heights)
- West Covina

Each Division is guided by a Lieutenant Governor. This year's (Oct. 1, 2011 - Sept. 30, 2012) Division 35 Lieutenant Governor is Lon Salgren of the Hacienda Heights Club. "My theme this year is “Plant a Seed, Grow a Kiwanian." A new crop of Builders Clubbers, Key Clubbers and KIWIN’s have the opportunity to share the same experience in service leadership that I experienced as a kid. The seed was planted in me years ago, whether I was conscious of it or not. As an adult I knew that when I had time in my schedule to join a community service organization, it would be Kiwanis. No other club invests as much as Kiwanis in bringing leadership opportunities and skills to our youth from elementary through college levels. I am confident that when we plant those seeds, working side-by-side with our sponsored youth and reminding them that they are the future of Kiwanis, they will grow into fine Kiwanians." Remember: the more members our clubs have, the more service they can do to support their communities. The growth of Membership leads to growth in Service and when you do service & have enough members you can have more fun. This focus is based on the Cal-Nev-Ha Governor's "Carrier of Service" Theme.

Since Kiwanis first came to the West Coast in 1917, Kiwanis members of California, Nevada, and Hawaii have been making a positive impact on the communities and people around them. From disaster relief efforts to youth scholarship programs, being in Kiwanis is all about "giving back."
With more than 17,000 Kiwanis members (and more than 40,000 members in our Service Leadership Programs), the Cal-Nev-Ha District is the biggest in Kiwanis International. Our clubs and members contribute in excess of $5.3 million and 850,000 volunteer service hours to their communities each year! Together, we ARE changing the world, one child and one community at a time. For more information about the Cal-Nev-Ha District of Kiwanis, please visit www.cnhkiwanis.org.About Kiwanis International
