1999-2000 Organization
And
Planning Guide
“We never plan to fail, we simple fail to
plan”
If
we as a club want to effectively serve our community we must be structured and
organized. 1999-2000 is a very
special year for the club. It’s the 70th anniversary of the Colville Kiwanis Club,
and we have several members that have reach notable milestones. We’re going to take on some big tasks in the
next year, including re-engaging personally with the programs and projects we
sponsor, including Key Club, Camp Baird, Boy Scouts, Baseball and Softball.
President’s
Goals And Objectives For The Next Year Are;
1. Identify and focus on our primary community service projects. Have we taken on too much, based on our membership participation?
2. Improve the clubs business
practices. Most of our valuable
documents have been located and secured.
The Board should evaluate all valuable documents, including titles,
deeds, insurance, club and scout charters, bylaws, contracts, and agreements at
least once a year. I suggest we review
those documents the first board meeting of October.
3. New opportunities. I respectfully request we include new
Kiwanian as committee members. The
current committee chairs are a valuable resource and have done a great job, but
Kiwanis is a training ground for community leaders. I request that each committee chair be open to receiving a new
assignment.
4. Participation. We must improve our club member
participation, at weekly meetings, inter-clubs, installation of officers, and
club sponsored events. Inter-clubs are
an integral part of Kiwanis life.
Everyone should plan on attending at least one inter-club this year.
5. Club Membership. As the oldest club in the division, we can
do better. I would ask the membership
committee to hold everyone accountable for inviting at least one new member
during the year, through a system of rewards/penalty program. I propose orientation training for all
proposed new members and for members with less than two years. I would ask the senior members of the club
to help me with the training.
Welcome to the
New Century
What is the model
Kiwanian we should strive to be? Is it
perfect attendance at our Friday lunches?
Is Kiwanis a service club, or a lunch club? Yes, attendance is important, but only half of the formula we
should strive for in a “good Kiwanian.”
Direct personal involvement in our sponsored programs and projects is
equally important.
Kiwanis is a very
diverse organization with many programs and projects. We are more than just one program or project. We are not a single focus organization. Fellowship with fellow Kiwanians and
involving oneself in these diverse programs and projects is an important part
of walking the Kiwanis walk and talking the Kiwanis talk.
1999-2000
is a very special year for the club.
It’s our club’s 70th anniversary, and we have several members
that have reach notable milestones.
We’re going to take on some big tasks in the next year, including
re-engaging personally with the programs and projects we sponsor, including
Camp Baird, the Scouts, Baseball and Softball and building a baseball
park. I look forward to working with
each of you.
