A Message From

Frank Barry

President of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim

Welcome athletes, parents, coaches, family, friends, sponsors, and volunteers
to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim Orange County All-Star Baseball
Game.

Decades ago, Cliff Rothrock, a dedicated educator and Kiwanis member,
challenged the Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim to sponsor an event which
would showcase the talented athletes in Orange County. Over the years the
competition has grown and many outstanding young men have played in the KCGA Orange County All-Star
Baseball Game. This evening we shall again see an exciting game featuring Orange County’s finest.

As the high school career of each of the young athletes comes to a close, we recognize that the coaches
and volunteers spent countless hours to ensure that the game this evening is a memorable experience.
Parents and family members are a special support system and they share in the accomplishments of the
young men. The athletes are an inspiration to all of us to do the best we can.

Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child
and one community at a time. For the past five years, Kiwanis has partnered with UNICEF to eliminate
maternal neonatal tetanus worldwide. The goal of $110,000,000 has been met. The men and women in the
organization are united in their commitment to serve the children of the world.

The Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim sponsors Service Leadership Programs: eight high school KEY
Clubs, an elementary school K-Kids Club, Terrific Kids at the Anaheim Boys and Girls Club, and Bringing
Up Grades in twenty-four Anaheim elementary schools. KCGA supports Anaheim Public Library Books On
the Go at ARTIC and AUHSD Color and Light Student Photography Exhibit. This year, twenty-five thousand
dollars in scholarships were awarded to deserving high school students.

To learn more about Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim, visit www.greater-anaheim.kiwanis.org or join us,
as our guest, at one of our weekly Thursday morning breakfast meetings at 7:30 a.m. at the Clarion Hotel
in Anaheim.

On behalf of our 2016 All-Star Baseball Game Chairman, Will Cornell, the committee and our KCGA
members, welcome to Glover Stadium and enjoy the game.

Congratulations All Stars

Frank Barry, 2015-16 President

The KCGA presents each player with an 8x10 color photograph of his team, an All-Star T-shirt, a Certificate of
Participation, and if he’s lucky, a hug from Miss Kiwanis All-Star.
One of the highlights of the meeting is the recognition of parents, teachers, coaches and friends who helped the

The 49th Annual Kiwanis
Orange County

Youth Baseball Award
“Bob Zamora”

Bob Zamora graduated from Mt. Carmel High School (1964)
in Los Angeles. He was a Spanish major at Chapman
College and started four years as a shortstop for the
Panthers. He captained the 1968 NCAA Division 2 National
Championship Team.

One of his biggest thrills at Chapman came is 1968 when the
Panthers defeated USC (NCAA Division 1 National Champs)
2-0 before a full house at Glover Stadium Continuing his
education, he received his Master Degree from UCI in 1978.

After college Bob traveled to Spain to research his Basque heritage. Upon his return, he signed with
the San Diego Padres in their inaugural year. He played two years and reached double A. On his
advice as a player coach with the Padres, they scouted and signed future Cy Young award winner
Randy Jones from Brea. Bob was on his way to coach Randy with Duke Snider in Alexandria, LA
when his wife, Cindy, said he needed to stay home and get a “real job”.

As a result of that directive, in 1971 he started his teaching and coaching career at Auburndale Jr.
High in Norco. In 1973, he moved to Dana Hills High School and 1977 he landed at Capistrano
Valley High School. There his teams have won six CIF Championships and seventeen South Coast
League titles. Coach Zamora is completing his 39th year as Capistrano Valley’s only head coach.

Cindy, his wife of 46 years, and he have three children, Dan, Ali and Peter. Dan played football for
the University of Nevada. Ali played volleyball for UCLA and Peter played baseball for UCLA and is
currently a minor league pitching coach for the San Diego Padres.

Bob and wife Cindy, have five grandchildren, Madeline, Cooper, Peyton Josie and Harper.

Key Club International

Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim Sponsors local Key Clubs

Key Club International is the largest co-educational high school service organization in our Nation and Internationally. A local Key Club must be
organized and continuously sponsored by a local Kiwanis Club. Key Clubs are self-governing and elect their own officers, determine their service
projects and fund-raisers and operate under the rules of the school administration. Key Club objectives include the objectives of Kiwanis. Key
Clubs are unique for their aim in the development of initiative, leadership ability and good citizenship practices of its members. Each individual
Key Club is a member of the International Organization with his or her own annual District, International programs and conventions. Each Key
Club’s service activities are designed for their local high school and community needs.

The “Key” in Key Club stands for “Kiwanis Educating Youth”.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim sponsors eight Key Clubs at Anaheim High School, Katella High School, Loara
High School, Rosary High School, Savanna High School, Servile High School, Fairmont High School and Western
High School.
Each Key Club meets once a week, on campus, with an Academic and Kiwanis advisor present who advise but the
students run the meetings and present projects which their board has approved. These leaders have been trained and
many have attended the yearly District Convention which alternates between Sacramento and Southern California.
KCGA’s Key Clubs are in Division 30 South of the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Kiwanis International.
Key Club’s Motto is “Caring Our Way of Life.” The members of the Key Club demonstrate this caring by raising funds
for various organizations with which they partner: with UNICEF for Project Eliminate to eliminate neo-natal tetanus
in 59 countries; just this year Key Clubs raised $163,000 for Pediatric Trauma Prevention; March of Dimes-Key
Club International began partnering with the March of Dimes in the 60’s and continues to collect dimes in hopes that
someday children will be born free of birth defects; and Children’s Miracle Network-this non-profit raises money to
benefit hospitalized kids.
KCGA Key Clubs volunteer in local events such as the Disney Half-Marathon, Relay for Life, the Anaheim Children’s
Art Festival, the Anaheim Halloween Festival, the Kiwanis CHOC Carnival, and supports Kiwanis projects such as this
All Star Baseball Game; providing lunches for the Orange County Special Olympics; Light the Night at Angel Stadium
for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society and our annual music festival/pancake breakfast in December.
Key Club was founded in 1925 and the members continue to pledge to uphold the Objects of Key Club International,
to build their home, school, and community; to serve their nation and God; and to combat all forces which tend to
undermine these institutions.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim is proud of its Key Clubs which inspire by their shining service and give
everyone faith that the future of this nation is in good hands.
