It has several memorials to U.S. Military, Military Dogs and Veterans; and provide facilities and support programs to promote a legacy of Military Service. It serves as an elegant world-class educational center to present and preserve regional history, with an emphasis on Veterans of the Clovis community. The structures invite quiet contemplation as one wanders through the memorials. Here is Hallowed, Sacred and Desecrated ground. That means never is yelling done here and no playing or games are to be played here. That includes pokeman players. For the sacrifices of Veterans must always be remembered and respected for they gave their tomorrows for our today. Special districts are a form of local government governed by an elected Board of Directors created by a local community to meet a specific need. Inadequate tax bases and competing demands for existing taxes make it hard for cities and counties to provide all the services their citizens desire. When residents or landowners want new services or higher levels of existing services, they can form a district to pay for and administer them. It is clear that a lot of pride and love went into the creation of these memorials and goes into maintaining them. This place is classy, clean and disabled-friendly. The floors are glossy, there are plenty of bathrooms and they are fresh and stocked. Many who work here are volunteers for as per Acts 20:35 ESV / "In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive."" As we walked the memorials, tears came as I again remember the words of General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., United States Army (Ret.) Veteran, that "the more we sweat in Peace, the less we bleed in war." Those words should be and always must be the war standard that we hold every politician to. For "The military don't start wars. Politicians start war." correctly said General William Westmoreland, United States Army (Ret.) Veteran. That's why I support that all elected or appointed politicians who aren't currently Serving or haven't Served in America's Armed Forces, are required to spend the first six weeks of each of their terms in the front lines / combat zone hospital unit. Clovis Veterans Memorial District tells a terrifying story that war is never a nice place to visit, and no one wants to live there. It is a special district established 11 June 1946. In 1946, Ernest Hemingway wrote, "Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." That's why I also support that all who aren't currently Serving or haven't Served in America's Armed Forces, are required to pay an annual War Tax of 10% of their gross income. I also support a draft for all with no exemptions. CDC rules are practiced here.

    I rented this place for a celebration of life for my mother. When I met with the staffer, I told…read moreher I didn't have all the details yet because I was working on securing a location. We filled out the paper work and she told me I had use of the place for the entire day, so my event time didn't really matter. I put down my event time was until 4. They sent me a letter refusing to return any of the $300 deposit I paid because I went over the time of 4pm. (And because they say I didn't sweep and mop, I did sweep). If my event ended at 4, how would I break down and clean and be out by 4. But that didn't matter because she told me I had all day. I feel like this is a scam to keep the deposit. Additionally when I paid for the use, she did not tell me that they charge a credit card fee for using my credit card. If I had known they were going to charge an extra $24, I would have paid in cash. I didn't know until after she already charged my card. The place itself was just ok, old looking, could use some updating and fresh coat of paint. Not worth the price, and I was told it included the use of tv displays but no one could show me how to use it the day of my event, so it really wasn't included.

    The lodge has a great staff for all your event needs. I really like how professional the bartender…read moreis. When it come to preparing food, their kitchen really makes it easy when we serve our own food and caterers find it useful as well. I was really impressed with how many people we could seat and still have room for people to dance. Our DJ liked the area on the stage for him to set up. You can't go wrong with the price and the great service makes this a hell of a bargain.

    I'm writing this review of the Dinuba club because I've been in contact with Ramon through our…read morecurrent Lt. Gov, Brett Barnes. Ramon had previously served as Lt. Gov of Division 18 a few years ago and is a member of the Dinuba Kiwanis Club. The Dinuba club meets at Me & Martha's Restaurant on Tulare St. My gripe with Ramon is that it seems members are treated differently based on how the organization views them and/or their past contributions. Got a daughter going to college and you've been a Lt. Gov. in the CNH District? Fine. Reach out to a Division outside of your own just to get your daughter housing. It will even be shared with the club you reached out to(Davis). Reaching out to your own club for help after walking across the U.S. to mark their 100th anniversary, fundraise on their project to save lives against a dreaded disease and as a membership drive, all while dealing with a global pandemic that not only threatens the health of your most supportive loved ones while grappling with the possibility that you might lose your membership simply because you're unable to pay due to said pandemic affecting your access to resources after you already reached out to those in your District after apologizing to them and promised to get help and was still in the process of getting help after nearly losing housing while taking care of an ill family member with no other social support network to reach out to? Too bad- Kiwanis won't keep it's promise to me. If they did or had told me of plans to, I wouldn't be writing this review today. Maybe they plan to & I'm just not aware of it. Maybe it got lost in the mail, or like in the case with my interactions with International HQ in Indiana, I've just been lied to this whole time. I've included email correspondence I received from Ramon, which was forwarded by Brett. It is strange that someone who served as Lt. Gov and someone who walked across the U.S. for an effort to help the organization get new members of a difficult time for many and fundraised to save many lives around the world can get so much vastly different treatment. If we were treated equally, either we would both be turned down or we would both get help. Yet one of us received help while the other didn't. Guess who got which? It doesn't seem like Kiwanis is interested in getting membership. Out of some of the biggest service organizations, Kiwanis is doing much worse, and with the pandemic ongoing, we are doing even worse. Most organizations are probably in the same boat. Yet it seems my contributions, both the national walk, and efforts now to help membership, don't seem to be of any value. I can only conclude the organization does not want to help itself, and members like me who received promises of help in the past have no intention of getting those fulfilled. Kiwanis just leaves empty promises and only few people get help if they're deemed worthy enough, like being a Lt. Gov within the organization like Ramon. If it's something you contributed as a non-officer, the organization doesn't care, even though the last time Kiwanis had a gain in membership after 1992 was in 2018. In the last 30 years, membership was always lower than the previous years before that, so out of the last 30 years, percentage-wise, we've lost membership annually 97% of the time. In both of those years above, shortly prior to them, two people did national walks to bring awareness to Kiwanis or an initiative at the time. I was one of them. If Kiwanis doesn't acknowledge the contributions of non-officer members, then the organization will only continue to decline. Ever more so than before the COVID pandemic. This is probably the same for many chapters within Kiwanis, and maybe even most large service organizations, but it looks especially problematic from my experiences in the CNH District.
