2025 Cal-Nev-Ha District Education Convention (DCON)
The 2025 Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha District Education Convention (DCON) was a tremendous success! Members of the Kiwanis Club of Centennial Hills staffed the merchandise booth throughout the event, which gave us an opportunity to meet so many attendees from California, Nevada, and Hawaii (and sell them a pin, or a hat, or a t-shirt)! Find more event photos on our Media Gallery page!
Special Visit!
Members of the Kiwanis Club of Centennial Hills and other Division 28 clubs ventured out to Pahrump on August 2, 2025 to welcome Cal-Nev-Ha District Governor Douglas Frost to Southern Nevada! Thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Pahrump Valley for hosting this important event! Find more event photos on our Media Gallery page!
Special Guest!
The Kiwanis Club of Centennial Hills welcomed Cal-Nev-Ha Division 28 LTG Krit Sempolkrung to the July 2025 General Meeting. He shared his personal experience attending the Kiwanis Mid-Year South Education Conference, and encouraged all Kiwanians to embrace this outstanding opportunity to interact with and learn from other Clubs and their members. Find more event photos on our Media Gallery page!
Special Thanks!
The Kiwanis Club of Centennial Hills thanks July’s guest speaker Joseph Charafi, Founder and President of the Stop The Traffic Foundation, who shared shocking statistics about child trafficking in Las Vegas and throughout the country. The Kiwanis Club of Centennial Hills doesn’t shy away from the tough subjects. All kids matter to Kiwanis! Find more event photos on our Media Gallery page!
