MEET DAVID J. NIXON

A native of Tuscumbia, Alabama, David, spent most of his childhood years dreaming of owning his own youth center. After graduating from high school, Nixon attended Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, Alabama.  He attended Alabama Christian College, Florence, AL, Northwest Shoals Community College-Personal Fitness, Real Estate, United States Army School of Administration, Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, United States Army Signal Corps., Fort Gordon, GA, Atlanta Georgia School of Training, Atlanta, GA., Ivy Tech Community College, and ITT Technical Institute Online.  

Nixon was awarded "Teacher of the Year," at Northwest Shoals Community College, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, for the Alternative School on campus and Community Life Coordinator for on-campus living. In addition, he attended the Michigan National Guard School of Administration in Lansing, Michigan. 

In the early 80s, his dream was to become a free agent to play pro football in Chicago. He became a member of the Central Football League (CFL) Association for certified officials.

In 1999, Nixon opened the doors to his 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Young Gentlemen and Women 2000.  The YG/W mission statement is to instruct, train, and enhance positive character traits from negative thinking in young people. 

In 2001, Nixon and his wife developed a parent involvement program entitled Parent Ambassadors Inc., which was created to get parents more involved with their children in Title I public schools through the volunteer parent involvement program.


In 2002, Nixon registered and ran as an Independent Non-Partisan Gubernatorial Candidate in the State of Michigan.  He was the second African American to run in the State of Michigan.


In 2007, Nixon registered and ran as a grassroots Republican Candidate for Mayor in the State of Indiana, and the City of Evansville.  He was the first African American to win the primary election in over 109 years, and raised no funds.


In addition, David is an independent Christian clergymen, affiliated with World Christianship Ministries.  He is  the  founder of a non-denominational Faith Based Organization, "Hebrews, Matthew, Genesis, and Galatians (H.M.G.G.) Ministries."

MEN JOIN TOGETHER CONFERENCE 2011 * RECAP

If you've missed the Men Join Together Conference 2011, don't fret, look forward to attending this exciting series of Men joining together to talk about their life experiences in 2012!  Recently, we attended the Men Join Together Conference 2011, which was hosted at North Park Branch Library in Evansville, Indiana. The theme was "Men Join Together: Which One Are You?" Are you a Filler, Watcher, Teacher, Seeker, or Messenger. The room filled quickly with people who wanted to be there. The seating was set in theatre style, and a overhead screen mounted on the wall displayed pictures and biography's of all the men who would be speaking. The audience was a mixture of young and old from all walks of life. Although, the target was focused on men, there were women present, as well. Two women in particular served organic coffee and tea. There were a total of six African American men who poured out their hearts about their personal life experiences, and elaborated on the character that they felt best represented them. 

For instance, one gentlemen chose the Filler, and describe what a filler was from a football player's point of view. Another, describe himself as a Messenger, and shared biblical teachings to reach the audience. Whereas, one used a simple potato to describe life as a Teacher. The highlight of the event was expressed from the keynote speaker who traveled from Indianapolis, Indiana, to join this special group of men. He illustrated himself as being a Seeker and used a photo image of a maze to pin-point his walk through life. Other highlights of the event were the testimonies of men who had been diagnosed with illnesses, and others who suffered severe bodily injuries, a gunshot wound to the body, a severe head injury, and survivor of cancer. It was continuous testimonies greeted with applauses from the audience. The evening ended with a special presentation of Certificates of Appreciation for "Men Mentoring Men," awarded to all of the guest speakers. The overall event was very professional, and extremely pleasant. After attending this wonderful event, everyone including the public was invited to attend a fellowship dinner at a local restaurant.

STRENGTH IS IN NUMBERS

On Saturday, October 8, 2011, a group of men throughout the community gathered together in prayer on the South Side of Evansville, Indiana. The mission was to canvass the area to deter future gang violence. Over several church leaders were involved in the march and witnessed to individuals throughout the community. It is a true saying that "Strength is in numbers," and hopefully, this group of dedicated men will continue to bond and reclaim the neighborhoods for God's glory.

MAKING HISTORY IN EVANSVILLE BLACK COMMUNITY

In 2004, DAVID J. NIXON, made history as Evansville's first Black President of the Southside Kiwanis Club. He was re-elected as President for a second term in 2005.

THE KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION was established as a legal entity in 1939. The mission is to assist Kiwanis International in serving the children of the world.

NIXON SAYS FAREWELL TO THE SOUTHSIDE KIWANIS CLUB IN 2006

To my fellow Southside Kiwanians,

It has been an exciting journey and great experience for us all as a team. I want to thank all of you that showed support during my two-term reign as the Evansville Southside Kiwanis President. This is just the beginning dear friends. I've had the opportunity to be involved with a group of men and women that love their community and the youth. As a new Charter in the Evansville/Vanderburgh County, together we managed to support the "Bringing Up A Grade" (BUG) Program at Lincoln Elementary School, Family Day In The Park, Feed A Family, Southside Kiwanis Variety Show, and families affected by KATRINA. We have raised over $5,000.00, in fundraising throughout the 2004-05 year, and I am proud to say that we have accomplished a great amount of charitable contributions in such a short period of time in the Evansville area. 

In the Project Account there is a remaining balance of $2,054.29, and in the Administrative Account there is a remaining balance of $1,917.89. 

On behalf of my family and I, we wish to thank the following:Green River Kiwanis, Steve Page, Terry White, Helen Fisher, Formal Governor Donovan Peoples, newly elected Governor Pat Hawkins, most of all Sergeant-At-Arms, Bill George, and to all of the Evansville Southside Kiwanis members.  

Remember, "Each One Can Reach One, but we must all be willing to support each other."

God bless the Evansville Southside Kiwanis Club.

Thank you,

David J. Nixon, President

Evansville Southside Kiwanis Club

I WAS THERE . . .

BAPTIST AND CATHOLIC? A GREAT COMBINATION!

David J. Nixon, had the opportunity to work at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in 2004-05. Being a Baptist minister and working with an African American female Catholic Pastoral Life Coordinator, may seem rather odd, however, we must remember, that God's thoughts are not our thoughts, and his ways are not our ways. "There are twelve religions but ONE Lord," says Nixon.

David J. Nixon, was the coordinator of St. John's Youth Group, and worked with young people in the church, conducting Sunday, Bible Class, creating positive behavior projects, supervised youth outings, youth development programs, fundraisers, getting items donated to the youth group activity room, hosted poetry nights for young people, hands-on basic computer training, and youth fitness nutrition programs. David and his wife, also did outreach ministry and worked with youth throughout the community.

He was asked to speak at St. Mary's Catholic Church, during the Martin Luther King Jr., Birthday Celebration, sponsored by the Downtown Ministers Association. Nixon's speech was "We Have A Dream." The most humbling moment for David, was meeting the Bishop of Evansville. Before relocating to the city of Evansville, he had an opportunity to sit under the leadership of a Baptist Bishop for the District of Michigan. Having the opportunity to meet the Catholic Bishop of Evansville was a great honor. He is also a member of the Downtown Ministers Association, Youth Task Force Committee for Parks and Recreations, and the Buffalo Trace Scout Committee.

David J. Nixon, resigned from St. John the Apostle Catholic Church on June 10, 2005. It was not due to any animosity or ill-discord in his own words "My mission was completed at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, and HE has called me to a new assignment" says Nixon.

REFORM TO SOCIETY PROGRAM

YOUNG GENTLEMEN AND WOMEN (YG/W) 2000

REFORM TO SOCIETY "LINKING TOGETHER FOR BETTER COMMUNITIES"
Copyright 2005, Reform To Society Program

In 2004, 650,000 people were released from prisons across the country, 14,000 individuals in Indiana were released from state prison facilities. $656 million is spent annually on Indiana prisons, and 97 percent of those in Indiana prisons will eventually return to their communities. The failure occurs seven- (7) to twenty-one- (21) days after their release. If there is no opportunity to find work, housing or transportation for medical and probation appointments, they will look to other means to survive. There are 592 offenders on parole in the six counties within this district.

David J. Nixon, founder of Young Gentlemen and Women, looks forward to linking together with national faith based organizations, local law enforcement, mental health officials, and state programs. YG/W will help support juvenile offenders and individuals who have never been convicted of a violent offense become better citizens in the surrounding cities in the United States.
