MEMBERSHIP RECRUITING NOTES

WE’D LIKE TO REMAIN THE MOST PROFESSIONAL SERVICE ORGANIZATION.
- WHEN YOU GO CALLING, TAKE A BUDDY. TEAM RECRUITING IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE.
- SELL THE COMMUNITY SERVICE TO CHILDREN AS THE PRIMARY POINT. PEOPLE RESPOND WELL TO FILLING A NEED. THEY WILL RESPOND TO HELP THE CLUB EXPAND THEIR PROGRAMS, BUT MAY NOT RESPOND TO HELPING WITH EXISTING PROGRAMS – YOU ARE ALREADY DOING THEM WITHOUT THE RECRUIT’S HELP.
- OK TO INCLUDE FELLOWSHIP AND GOOD FRIENDS AS SECONDARY IN IMPORTANCE.
Today, the entire Kiwanis family has more than 600,000 members in more than 13,000 clubs IN 96 NATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS.

KIWANIS IS A GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO PUT BLINDERS ON AND SAY "WHERE ARE THE NEEDS AND WHERE CAN WE HELP?"
AS KIWANIANS, WE EXPECT YOU TO AGREE TO DO THE FOLLOWING THINGS:
- Bring a happy, friendly attitude to all Kiwanis functions
- Attend as many club meetings as your family, health and business allow
- Donate two to three hours per month to Kiwanis by Participating in two or three service projects per year AND Helping with our occasional fund raising projects
- Bring into Kiwanis at least one member per year
- If you must leave our club, find a replacement for yourself before leaving.
KIWANIANS RAISE MONEY TO RUN THEIR PROJECTS, AS OPPOSED TO SOME OTHER CLUBS THAT ASK MEMBERS TO DONATE MONEY TO SUPPORT THE PROJECTS.
