This weekend's Carolinas District Key Club Convention was incredible β but it got me thinking about the supportive adults cheering those Key Clubbers on. π
They're already showing up for a mission centered on kids and community. They already believe in what we do. π
But before we can invite them in β they need to know what Kiwanis is. That's Mission #1. π―
Once they know the name and the mission? Your club can do the rest β have the conversation, extend the invitation, welcome them in. π
The best new members aren't always strangers. Sometimes they're already on the sidelines. Let's make sure they know our name. π±
π Call for Presenters: Share Your Spark! π Calling all Kiwanis leaders, innovators, and subject matter experts! Do you have a project, a passion, or a proven strategy that could help other clubs thrive?
We are officially looking for Workshop Leaders for our District Convention in August 2026.
Whether youβre a pro at membership growth, a wizard at digital fundraising, or have mastered the art of impactful service projects, we want YOU on the schedule. This is your chance to inspire fellow Kiwanians and help strengthen our mission of serving the children of the world.
π‘ Why lead a workshop? Empower Others: Give clubs the tools they need to succeed. Build Connections: Meet passionate members from across the District. Level Up: Refine your public speaking and leadership skills.
