Lieber April Issue Executive Director By now you should have your club annual meeting scheduled to elect club officers. June 1st is the deadline to send in the Club Officer Election form to International, and the District Office. Please do your best to meet this deadline as the information is needed for publications on the International and District level. Club Delegate forms for the International Convention are slow in coming into the Macon office. These forms were sent to each person that has registered for the convention. Please, select your delegates and send the form in as soon as possible. A word of caution: all dues and other financial obligations must be current for delegates to be seated in the House of Delegates in Orlando, Florida; so be sure that all club financial obligations to International, and the District have been met. We sure do not want to embarrass your delegate. Our 89th Annual Convention of the Georgia District of Kiwanis International will be held August 15-17, 2008, in Peachtree City, Georgia. The registration forms and Certificate of Election of Delegates will be mailed out soon to each club.
Alexia A. Lieber (Feb. Issue) Executive Director The New Year promises exciting times for the Georgia District as the District focuses on ways and means to promote projects to the less fortunate. I would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank all of you who rang the bell for the Salvation Army, delivered meals, stuffed stocking, collected toys, and gathered can goods. Mid-Winter Conference The Mid-Winter Conference is set for Saturday, February 23rd, at Wesleyan College, in Macon, Georgia. I am looking forward to seeing each of you at the conference. I will be teaching a secretaries class and we will pick up where we left off at the Fall Conference. I would like to thank you for submitting your monthly reports through the online system. In October 76% of the clubs filed their reports through the online system, and in November 69%. Let’s keep up the good work. If you are just beginning the system – you must start with the October Monthly Report and come forward. The District had a loss in membership last year. Let’s work hard this year to correct that, and have a positive growth. Those who earned Distinguished status worked long and hard to maintain that can-do attitude in their clubs. We thank them for showing us that in 2007-2008, their successors have a solid base upon which to work. Kiwanis International will be sending out the list of those who were approved to be Distinguished Clubs shortly. Have You Put The Following Dates On Your Calendar?

Kiwanis International is pleased to deliver the first-ever new and renewing member kits to Kiwanis clubs in US, Canada, and the Caribbean. The kits contain valuable information for members on how to find new ideas for projects, navigating the Web site, and information on KIWANIS magazine. The kits also contain a member ID card, a window decal, a personalized member certificate, and a personalized letter from International President Robert L. Moore. All new members who joined on or after October 1, 2003, also will receive a new-member handbook. One of the leading requests made of Kiwanis International each year is a membership card. Members want to show they are officially part of the Kiwanis family. The new card displays a member's name, member since data, and member and club ID numbers. This was all possible for the low cost of US$1.04 per kit. Kiwanis-family corporate partners also wanted to provide membership extras to show their appreciation for the work we do in our communities. Hertz, Costco, Amerlink, Family Heritage, SaveRx, TruGreen Chemlawn, MBNA, and Choice Hotels have joined forces with Kiwanis International to provide our members with high quality member discounts and benefits. The kits were two years in the making. Test kits were launched during the 2001-02 administrative year to over 50,000 members in the Carolinas, Montana, Nebraska-Iowa, and Southwest districts. The members voiced their overwhelming support of the project. Every member across the US, Canada, and the Caribbean will receive a membership kit. Please contact the Growth Department (growth@kiwanis.org) at Kiwanis International for further information.
