News from Kiwanis One
The Hershey Company sponsors Key Club in 2012
We’re excited to welcome The Hershey Company as a Key Club co-sponsor for 2012—with a focus on Hershey’s Track & Field Games. Now in its 35th year, HTFG serves children ages 9–14 by helping them get active and develop a healthy lifestyle. More than 10 million kids in the United States and Canada have participated in HTFG.
Be part of the fun
Key Clubs can help organize HTFG events in their communities. Work with a local organization, such as an elementary school, community park, Boys & Girls Club or others.
Get other Kiwanis-family members involved, too! Recruit Builders Club and K-Kids members as game participants. And invite Kiwanis club members to assist with game events—as timers, for example.
You could win a free ICON registration
There’s another great reason to help plan and execute a new HTFG: your Key Club will be eligible to win one complimentary registration for 2012 Key Club International Convention.
More information is available about the award and event application at www.KeyClub.org/hersheys. If you have any questions, contact Kiwanis International at memberservices@kiwanis.org.
Marketing materials for 2012 convention now available
As you plan for your district’s upcoming mid-year meetings, please consider taking a few moments to promote the 2012 Kiwanis International Convention in New Orleans, set for June 28–July 1.
Visit www.KiwanisOne.org/convention for more information about the convention. Then check out the downloads section of the site at www.kiwanisone.org/convention/downloads, where you’ll find approved photos, the convention logo and other marketing materials you can use in your newsletters and on your websites.
In the downloads section you'll also find a PowerPoint presentation that can be used during your mid-year meeting. Take advantage of the line notes at the bottom of the slides to help guide your presenter’s talking points. It’s that easy!
Or, if you’d rather create your own PowerPoint, use the template also provided in the downloads section.
If you have any questions, please contact member services at memberservices@kiwanis.org.
Looking for the best club website examples
Between now and February 29, we are checking club websites that use the full version of the Club Management System for up-to-date content (news, events, club meetings) and great home pages. The best club sites may be featured in Kiwanis magazine, Kiwanis Update, the Club Resource newsletter, on Facebook and other spots illustrating best examples to other clubs. Winning clubs may also be asked to share some advice with their peers about maintaining a great club website.
See what an ideal club website looks like at www.KiwanisOne.org/idealsite. This live example is updated monthly (or more often) just like your site should be. Is your club website up to par? Stay tuned for showcase club website examples posted as an announcement here in March or get a sneak peek in the February issue of the Club Resource newsletter.
