Troops Letters
to Kiwanis

District Service Project
At the District Convention in Fargo, clubs collected and packaged snacks and personal care items for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 1250 pounds of supplies were collected, filling 260 flat rate boxes. Several of the troops wrote and expressed their gratitude for the project, and it is heartwarming to read their replies. All District Kiwanians can take pride in the difference we have made in their lives.

What is a Kiwanian?

Kiwanis Name
The name “Kiwanis” means “we trade” or “we share our talents.” It was coined from an American Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis.

Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small. Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things happen!

As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!

Membership

  • About 8,000 clubs in 96 countries
  • More than 260,000 adult members
  • Approximately 320,000 youth

Mission
To serve children of the world.

Service

  • Sponsor nearly 150,000 service projects.
  • Raise more than $107 million.

Global Results 
Members and clubs have contributed more than $80 million toward the global elimination of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.


Grow our club
Once, someone saw a need in our community and decided a Kiwanis club could best fill that need. Today, many children are still waiting for the kind of help Kiwanis members like you provide. The most effective way to reach those in need is to ensure your club stays strong, grows larger, and steps up when needed. It takes a lot of work to make a difference.
 
Improve our club
Changing the world may start with improving your own club. You can lead the way to a strong, vibrant club by deepening your members’ connection to the Kiwanis mission and preparing your club for sustainable growth.

Children around the world have the need, and people right in your community have the desire. By creating a dynamic Kiwanis club, you can bring them together. These tools will help get you started.

Achieve club excellence
To know where you’re going, you have to know where you’ve been and where you are now. The Club Excellence Tool is a blueprint for identifying strengths you can build on and opportunities you have for improvement. Test drive the online version of the Club Excellence Tool and put it to work remodeling your club.

Plan your club’s success
Establish goals for the year, track club trends, and take steps to improve the club experience for your members. The Planning Your Club’s Success brochure includes easy-to-complete forms to help you outline your strategy.

Get the resources you need
People join Kiwanis to help children and improve the world. Give members what they want! Help your club right now with the Kiwanis Resource Booklet—a complete listing of free printed material for membership growth, member retention, marketing, public relations, and more. Check out these helpful resources, too:

Recruit new members People are busier than ever, and finding the time to get involved in community service can be a real challenge. At the same time, thanks to global communication technology, caring people are more aware than ever before of children’s needs worldwide.

The ways generous people can give back to their community have changed from 20 or even 10 years ago. That means the ways we recruit them for Kiwanis membership must change, too. The tried-and-true methods must expand to embrace the never-before-attempted and never-thought-of ideas.

Your efforts can and will take Kiwanis to 1 million members by 2015—and help millions more children worldwide.
