There are only 2 days left in the 2010-2011 administrative Kiwanis year which means new Leadership is about to take over in each Kiwanis Club. This is a time for reflection, honesty, team spirit boosting and excitement. As a member of your club you know what needs to be done. Don't wait for "the other member" to get the ball rolling..........give that ball the push it needs to get started!!
Everyone knows what the word "Passion" means. Merriam Webster's on-line dictionary gives the following definition of passion - "A strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object or concept". I think the dictionary should just have the word "Kiwanian" next to passion! We are all passionate about the work that we do for the children of the world. It is our passion and drive that binds us all together and keeps us focused on the true prize - serving the children of the world and seeing those precious smiles.
I am in the process of making my visits to each club for their Club Officer installations for the 2011-2012 year. I wish all incoming Officers and Directors all the best for the coming year. You have all set goals for your year as reported at the Division Council Meeting on Sept. 17th. Do your very best to reach and possibly surpass your goals over the next year. I am here for you, the members and leaders. I will assist you in any way I can if asked. I can't make miracles happen but you can! Try something new. Make sure that the service you are providing to your community is still relevant. Think about doing a Community Assessment. It takes time but may pay off in the end for your club.
So, get ready, get set..........................GO!!
Welcome to the 2011-2012 Kiwanis Year!
