New Club Building

By PG Joseph Eppolito

Kiwanis International has embarked on a Campaign for Growth that all Districts will be involved in an intense manner for the next five administrative years (including the balance of this year). Training has been completed and we are READY, WILLING and ABLE to build NEW clubs and help revitalize existing clubs.
Gov. Joe Aiello and Gov.-Elect Eric G. Paul are both committed to growth, especially in the area of New Club Building. Having been involved in Membership and New Club Building for more than 25 years, I am the NYDK Chair for CFG. We have chosen 27 NCB Chairs (one per division) and 54 NCB Club Counselors (two per division) to attend the training along with the 2014-15 lieutenant governors.
We must break the chain of downward membership, once and for all.
Twenty-five years ago we had 14,000 members in the NY District and now we are at about 7,500. New Club Building can be the catalyst for growth in all of our divisions. We have had positive growth in only four years since 1989. Revitalization of other clubs in divisions can also occur as well with our Club Counselors.
Together as Kiwanians, we must all work together to help REBUILD NEW YORK! Membership IS on the rise this year. Let's keep it going! Through June of 2014, we are at + 395 members ... we can do even better!
We will publish our Campaign for Growth Team by Division on the NY District Kiwanis web site this month. Contact team members if you have a new site or your club wants some help and advice to GROW!
More members = more service to the children and communities that we all serve!
LOVE IT - SHARE IT - LIVE IT!
