Division 3 Club Officer Training Day

Saturday, June 18, 2011
Incoming club officer training was held for Division 3 on Saturday, June 18th at the Victoria Ave. United Church in Chatham, Ontario.  26 participants gathered to share fellowship and to be educated by Divisional Trainers Debbie Button and Shelley Des Cotes.  4 participants where from Division 4 and Division 5. 
There was new content in the training this year which was taken over by Kiwanis International in an attempt to ensure that all incoming club officers where given the same information for their year as leaders.  It was extremely helpful that the trainers could show the Kiwanis One web site LIVE to the participants and could guide them through some of it's contents.  The trainers answered many questions that some of the repeating club officers had with regard to where something could be located on the web site.  All in all, the day was quite successful.
Below are pictures from the day.

Many thanks to those that took the time out of beautiful weekend to participate.  For those that missed training, a make-up day will be set in early September.
