Distinguished Club
Congratulations to
the Kiwanis Club of Chatham-Kent for
recognition as a Distinguished Club for 2014-15. Past President George Service will be forever
known as Distinguished President and the members of the club have bragging
rights to this honour. This was achieved
by showing a net growth in membership, completing leader training,
participating in service projects and completing other expectations set out by
the District. We anticipate that there
will be a number of clubs who qualify for the 2015-16 year.
Growth Incentive Program for 2014-2015
Congratulations to the Kiwanis Club of Windsor for being one of
fourteen clubs in the District to succeed in the Growth Incentive Program for
2014-2015. To quote Past Governor Serge
Viau:
"All clubs on the list have achieved a
growth of 15% or higher from October 1st, 2014 to September 30th,
2015 above the charter strength level of 15 members. They have also paid the
club dues prior to December 31st, 2015. These clubs will receive the
Governor’s centennial banner patch. The banner patch will be given to the Division
LG at the Hamilton Convention in May. Two convention registration fees up
to $750 will be given to the clubs at the Hamilton Convention. I want to congratulate all the winning clubs
for achieving a net 15% growth for the 2014-2015 year. I encourage you to
continue growing your club by asking individuals and corporations to join the
movement. We all know that new members
for your club mean new ideas, new enthusiasm, greater fellowship and, most of
all, greater service benefitting the children in your communities."
Windsor also received the "Al Mifflin
Award" for 2014-15 which goes to the club in Division 3 with the highest
net growth in membership. this award has
'returned home' since the club donated the award in Mr Mifflin's name after he
passed away while in the office of Lieutenant Governor.
100 Years of Service
To celebrate 100 Years of Kiwanis in Canada, the Chatham-Kent Club is
donating 100 books to children in the community. During a one-day
gathering on March 14 at the Public Library, parents will bring in babies and
children to choose a book suited to their interests. Members will be on
hand to celebrate with the children and to encourage family reading time.
Kiwanis Club of Chatham-Kent is
serving the children of the community - one book at a time.
Division Caucus Meeting ~ April 9 - Kiwanis Kiosks
We are still
looking for ideas and volunteers to present these 20 minute sessions on Kiwanis
fellowship and service. All members are
encouraged to attend to learn more about best practices, share successful activities
and brainstorm future plans.
