Congratulations to immediate past Bulletin Editor, Elissia Torres for being recognized for as a distinguished officer at International Convention.
Hey SWD!
So as the new academic year is coming to a start within the next month, please be sure to educate your members about dues. Dues pay for your membership card, membership pin, membership certificate, and get you covered in insurance under Kiwanis as an official member of CKI!
By being an official member, you become a benefit to CKI by being eligible to serve as club, district, or even international officer! You can also serve on one of the committees to take CKI to the next level. Since we do not want CKI to be a financial burden for anyone, fundraising is always the next best thing.
Bake sales, car washes, percentage nights at restaurants can all work to further assist the financial situation of your club. Another thing I would like to push is that your club should never be afraid to ask for help from the Kiwanians. Besides being awesome role models, they are also there to assist in any way they see fit. A fundraising guide has already been sent out to all the club Treasurers, but it will be sent out again to club Presidents as well. If anyone needs anything, just let me know.
-Enjoy the rest of your lovely summer!!!
