Drowning is the #1 cause of death for young children in San Diego County. 🌊 With a $20,998 grant, Rady Children’s Hospital is launching “Testing the Water,” a program that teaches water safety to preschoolers and their caregivers. These life-saving lessons could make all the difference this summer—and beyond. 💙

We lost a giant today. At age 101, Gene Elmore has earned his wings.

A World War 2 Navy pilot, Gene flew hundreds of missions over the Pacific and European theaters in the Allied war effort. He was there over Normandy in support of D-Day, June 6, 1944, and after the war, he flew humanitarian aid missions during the Berlin Airlift.

He spent more time with our club than any other member, staying with G.A.G. Kiwanis for 56 years. He is a past President and past Lt. Governor, having received nearly every award and accolade we could think to bestow upon him. He was a leader in every sense, helping to guide and direct us, influencing and inspiring countless other members during his time with our club. He was an innovator and a hard worker, living the quintessential American life.

Thank you for your service, and for your friendship, Gene.
