M is for Membership

It’s exciting to see clubs big and small have been able to significantly engage new members I can’t wait to see that list grow over the next two months

September is officially Club Boost Month! The goal is to have each club in our district add one member If your club has not been adding new members, I encourage you to increase your efforts in bringing in new members during the last two months of this Kiwanis year. Spruce up your social media persona If you need a club growth grant, contact our membership team Put together a dream club roster by using the new 2 for 2 tools given to you at DCON and at Club Education sessions

Schedule an event and invite community members to the best group in their community— your club. If your club is +2 for the 2022-23 year, your club will be eligible for Distinguished Club status. Remember that dues are now prorated New members do not pay a dues penalty for joining in the last few months of the Kiwanis year You might want to incentivize new members by having them pay their 2023-24 dues at joining and your club sponsor pays the end of year dues of $26 to $13 per new member Well worth the investment.

Want to learn how to grow your club and do more service in your community? Sparks-Reno is where you want to be from August 10th to the 13th. There will be more than 30 educational sessions, several great Keynote speakers, and a lot of fun activities to put a SMILE on your face.

Come make history on Saturday. There are two innovative and groundbreaking initiatives that will be on the agenda at the House of Delegates. Registration for DCON 2023 is open until Friday, July 28th You can also register on-site to attend educational sessions and be a part of the annual House of Delegates. (Registration Link)

Mahalo for all you do for the kiddos and your communities I look forward to seeing you in Sparks-Reno!

Service with a SMILE, Governor Val “SMILE”
