The Governor (From Page 1) served three terms and again Kiwanis International recognized his contribution by presenting him with the Distinguished Lieutenant Governor’s Award. About six years ago Ross began laying the groundwork for his candidacy as governor. “It is difficult to make yourself known throughout the state when you're/from South Jersey,” Ross said. "But /felt I could help the Kiwanis with my i^pas and programs and threw my hat in the ring." THE FIRST time he ran in 1980 the hat didn’t go quite far enough. In a three mdn contest, Ross lost by just one vote, the closest the election has ever been. Last year, however, won handily by an almost four to one margin. That.was quite a turnaround, in view of the fact 80 per cent of the Kiwanis’ 6,000 members in 180 clubs are from the northern section of the state. Politicking is now all in th* past and Ross is dedicating his efforts to 1 furthering the cause of Kiwanis clubs which are community service organizations. His main objective is to make the clubs more active throughout the state. Some of them, he points out, "tend to get in a rut and move away from the basic objectives."

Ross said there is a tendency in some clubs to just write out checks and make contributions to charitable causes. While money contributions are always welcome, Robs emphasized that the purpose of the Kiwanis is to become physically involved in community service projects — far more physically that using the arm and wrist to write out checks. A case in point is a community project of his Court House Kiwanis Club. LocalKiwanians, joined by members of other service organizations, performed the muscle work in erecting playground equipment through a grant and the men did the hard labor. "The club was being very helpful and we all had a lot of fun," Ross said. ANOTHER MAJOR project for the Kiwanis will take place next spring when the Court House club will coordinate Cape May County’s special Olympics for handicapped children. Internationally, the Kiwahis’ goal this year is to "share good health with children” and the special Olympics throughout the world will help achieve thi»aim. In his new role as governor, I\pss will lead a Gulliver-like life for the next year, traveling an estimated 50,000 miles, about 25,000 in New Jersey alone. In July he will fly to Vienna for the international Kiwanis convention. That will be the first time Kiwanis will meet outside of North America. The Kiwanis family consists of more than 3,000 members in 8,106 clubs in 75 nations. Also planned are trips to Indianapolis, Atlanta and Houston fdr conventions including those of Circle K and Key Club which are organizations of college and high school students. In the first 20 days of office, Ross has made 12 trips in New Jersey alone, some as far north as West Paterson, visiting local Kiwanis Clubs. Ross is mdrried to the former Jacque Barnes, a teacher at Middle Township elementary school. They haye two sons. Howard, 22. and Bob 15, and a daughter. Sheri, 18. The Kiwanis influence has rubbed off on two of his children. His daughter, following the footsreps of her father, is a lieutenant governor of the Key Club and his son, Bob, is a member of that club.
