The Formula

We are in our second year of "The Formula" which has grown to be quite a success with 600 new members (gross) with new clubs being built.
Please do not close the door on those members who have chosen to leave the Kiwanis family. This is when we call on our club counselors and lieutenant governors to come into play and take charge.
Each counselor has an assignment to review on "The Formula" dashboard. All club counselors are encouraged to visit their clubs and notify your lieutenant governor when you visit. The district grows when we increase our numbers and build new clubs to maintain our goal to make the future a better one for our communities and children.
We have a tremendous team with Julie Watterson continually working on membership growth, and Joe Eppolito as a fantastic club builder. These are your district chairs. You can contact these leaders at any time.
I encourage every club to devote one of your meetings to discuss "The Formula". Take the time to discuss why you "love your club" -- what it means to give back, and the gratification you get when devoting time and energy to your club. Talk about "living your club" -- create games and give out prizes! "Share it" by addressing the true meaning of "The Formula" by sharing Kiwanis and getting the word out to friends, relatives, neighbors, your community. We will have a forum at DCON for all new club builders and counselors to attend.
We are on our way! Here's to the next 100 years to make Kiwanis the largest organization in the world. Be part of this wonderful family and strengthen your clubs. Get involved with your sponsored youth programs and make them part of your team. We all must do our part because we BELIEVE in "The Formula" and Kiwanis. I want the New York District to know it's not about us, it's about the CHILDREN. Continue to be the best we can be. We have four months to reach our goals. So, let's do it!
Make us proud. Love It, Share It, Live It.
