My KIWIN’S

I heard about KIWIN'S from some of my cross countr started high school! Most of my other friends also wa as well and I ended up really enjoying the atmosph

My favorite memory about KIWIN'S is probably the L hours for going on a floating obstacle course for fre like more of a KIWIN'S social than an event.

KIWIN'S has really made me a better leader. Before, comfort zone, and I would have never tried out for a a lot of the KIWIN'S board members encouraged me position. From then on, I became more comfortable with leading others, which also communication skills that I would need in my adult life! I also improved on making g of new friends that I still talk to despite many of them graduating already :') stick gorl

If you want to join KIWIN'S, I highly recommend you attend the in person service ev like a hassle waking up and volunteering for multiple hours straight, I believe that th memories. You don't want to look back on your high school experience only to rea volunteer events are a way to get to know new people and to have fun! Looking b am so glad I attended a lot of the volunteer events because, although waking up blast just suffering with my friends and talking to each other for hours while voluntee position, my best advice would be to talk to an experienced board member! They position and all of the skills you need for it, and I think it makes you better qualified makes your experience on board much smoother.

Yours in Service,

Catherine Nguyen La Quinta KIWIN’S President ’21-’22

New Business OTC | August DCM 8.29 What is OTC? Officer Training Conferences (OTC) are an opportunity for new, potential, and returning officers, and members to learn anddevelop leadership skills that are key to KIWIN’S! It is a divisional event that includes workshops that will train officers in everything they need to know before the school year starts. This training is a great way to learn more about club officer positions and CNH KIWIN’S Key Club.

Why should I go?

All officers and members are highly encouraged to attend and learn how to take advantage of all of the opportunities that KIWIN’S has to offer and prepare for a great term of service! *taken from CNH KIWIN’S Summer Newsletter*
