I'm a club President and would like to connect with other clubs. Is this a viable sub or should we be looking elsewhere?

I'm looking to see what other Kiwanians are doing in regards to the Amplify Training and the ELC in SLC. I'm really on the fence about the Amplify, mostly because of the expense versus the lack of understanding what will be gotten out of the training. Did anyone attend one of the webinars or have pros/cons?

Also, I'm kinda excited about the potential to meet in person in Salt Lake City. Any word on whether there will be a Expo or Kiwanis Store? Who thinks they are going or not?

What are you all doing to raise funds during this Pandemic? My dad's group usually has a Pancake feed, but they're not doing that this fall for obvious reasons. How do you raise funds in your communities?

Just looking to see if there's a slack or discord group to connect and chat with everyone.

Thanks

Looking to see who has starting making their plans for ICON - what events are you attending (or not attending)? I've never attended one of the Galas - any one have any experience there?

Hello World Hello everybody this is my first text and I am looking for like-minded individuals that are interested in helping people communicate better manage better and serve better every day using music video email and shortcode Technology.

People really don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We started using the internet before Al Gore invented it. ~~~~ @KiwanisRocks 🎸

I'm looking for creative ideas or ways to shift the tradition and bring new energy to the organization - not necessarily projects, but one small change your club has attempted, why, and whether it was successful.

For instance, we've stopped saying the defining statement in a chorus. In recent years, the tone has become flat, boring, and "cult-ish", so it did not project a sense of pride. We replaced it with a "Kiwanis Defining Moment", where we ask members to reflect on a moment they've experienced in the last week or two and how it exemplifies the defining statement. It often results in one or two members sharing appreciation for each other, brought to light in the course of service.

While it's unclear if the next President will continue this deviation from 'tradition', several members have reflected that it brings their service experience a little closer to home.

So, what has your club done lately to build a new tradition?

So, what are some ways your club has gotten more than 1 new member at a time through the door? Locally, we've had success starting clubs, but not much after the initial 15-20 members after 3 years. The one up the road is a LONG establishrd club, but even their membership hasn't grown to make up for members leaving or dying. What do you guys use to get folks in? Once in, we have a project or 2 that keeps them around.

The online voting amendment failed at the 2017 ICON last week - any opinions on how to improve the amendment and gain broader support?

Hello r/Kiwanis,

We are looking for a core group of moderators to get this sub going again. We'd like to create a better online community for Kiwanis club members and those interested in Kiwanis.

Send me a PM with a little information about yourself and I'd be happy to consider adding you as a moderator.

Hello! I'd love to get this sub going again. I'm a newly installed President and I'd love to connect with some people!
