November is Kiwanis-Family Month
11/2/2013 - District: Ohio - Submitted by: Jennifer DeFrance.
Greetings Ohio Kiwanians!
November is Kiwanis-Family month. I know that our Service Leadership Programs (SLPs) are the most significant ongoing service that we provide to the community. We have a unique opportunity to change the lives of students and disabled adults through SLPs. We should celebrate our commitment to SLPs during Kiwanis-Family month. I encourage your Kiwanis Club to organize a joint service project or social with your SLPs. You can rake leaves with Key Clubbers at elderly people’s homes, collect books with Builders Club members, or visit residents at a nursing home with K-Kids. Having a social with the SLP groups can also be a great way to get to know other Kiwanis-Family members and foster goodwill about Kiwanis. You can go bowling with Aktion Club members or host a pizza party at a Key Club meeting. Actively engaging SLP members will make your project or social successful and the Kiwanis-Family stronger.
Why are SLPs important to our community? There are so many reasons! For some students, a Kiwanian may be a role model and positive influence. As a Circle K advisor, I listened to students troubles with classes, their triumphs, and stories about their personal lives. I think that I was able to provide a neutral supportive role in their lives as I drove them to projects and events and attended their meetings. For disabled adults, I think Aktion Club provides a safe environment for members to grow their leadership skills and self-esteem. Disabled adults so often have challenges in society. The encouragement that Kiwanians provide to Aktion Club members helps them know their valuable contributions to our community. With K-Kids members, we empower elementary school students to learn about service and its importance in their lives. For Key Club and Builders Club members, students learn to organize projects, motivate other students, and impact their communities through service. This is just a sampling, and I am sure you can add many more reasons why SLPs are amazing.
Kiwanians can also implement other programs to inspire self-improvement in school and leadership development. Bring Up Grades (BUG) recognizes students who raise their grades to an acceptable range and maintain or continue to raise them from one grading period to the next. Terrific Kids is a student recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem and perseverance. Students work with their teacher to establish goals to improve behavior, peer relationships, attendance or schoolwork and to reach their goal during a specific time period. Recognition includes being pinned as a Terrific Kid or placed on a BUG Honor Roll; a pizza, ice cream, or other food-themed party; and/or presentation of certificates and other giveaways. Key Leader is a weekend retreat for teens age 14–18. Workshops, lectures and team-building activities take place over the course of the weekend, providing opportunities to grow in confidence, make new friends and learn skills that can be taken back to the school community.
Kiwanis Clubs have received SLP Sponsorship Forms to share with the Kiwanis Club and SLP Club and to renew your commitment to sponsoring the SLPs. Please obtain the appropriate signatures and return a copy of the form to the District Office by December 1st. It is important for clubs to understand their responsibilities to the SLPs to ensure strong programs.
Happy Kiwanis-Family Month,
Governor Jennifer DeFrance.

33. There is no such thing as membership transfer from one Kiwanis club to another. After leaving a
Kiwanis club, a former Kiwanian must be elected to membership in another Kiwanis club by that club’s board of directors, exactly like any new member. However, if a current member is moving to a new community, the club secretary can send a referral card to the Kiwanis club(s) in the new community, and the Kiwanian who is moving is encouraged to attend meetings of the clubs in the new area and choose one to join. He or she does not need to be sponsored by two members of the new club but can apply for membership directly.
