MAL CORNER
A Message from our Vice President:
We have MALs all over the country!
Hello, Members at Large!
Spring has officially sprung, and we’re soaking in every bit of its charm! The weather is getting delightfully warmer, birds are chirping their cheerful tunes, and colorful blooms are beginning to brighten our days. There's something so refreshing and hopeful about this season—it always feels like a gentle invitation to start anew, get outdoors, and embrace the beauty around us.
​
As we look forward to brighter days, we’re also getting more and more excited about our upcoming 2026 Convention in beautiful San Antonio! It may seem a bit down the road, but the planning is already in full swing—and trust me, it’s shaping up to be a fabulous time for Kiwis across the system. Be sure to click on News – News Just In to read all about the wonderful activities and experiences being planned. Mark your calendars now—you won’t want to miss it!
​
While you’re browsing, don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the MAL Corner page to learn about one of our own Members at Large who loves to take the stage and share amazing life stories as part of a group of women dedicated to telling the “untold.” Her story is inspiring and a lovely reminder of the power in sharing our journeys. And remember, we’d love to hear from you too! If you’ve had any fun adventures or unique experiences, send them my way—I’d be thrilled to share them with our fellow MALs.
​
Wishing all our April babies a most happy and delightful birthday! May your special day be full of joy. And to everyone...have a lovely, meaningful, and memorable Easter holiday.
​
Warmly,
Linda
MAL Member Spotlight
KARIN JONES is one of our Members at Large who loves staying busy in retirement. She has participated in un-told for two years and is planning another “semi-true” story to share with a new audience in 2026.
​
Please send me your own stories about awesome things you do and have done!
un-told is a groundbreaking storytelling show, that brings laughter and inspiration to SoCal’s South Bay community. The mission of un-told is to connect people through community, laughter, and inspiration. Everyone has a story to tell and un-told gives those who want it an opportunity to share their (mostly) true story on stage for a live audience.
un-told was born in 2021 in Redondo Beach to Dawn Zarnick and Brandy Wimmer. The two friends felt like the world could use some laughter and inspiration so they set out to produce the inaugural show. It was a hit playing two nights in Southern California at San Pedro’s Grand Annex theatre to sold-out audiences each night.
un-told is going into its 4th season which will present on January 23 and 24, 2026.
