  • Key Club alumni share their stories

    September 30, 2011

    Jim Hernandez has a busy schedule of work, family and community service, but if you ask him and his wife of 21 years why they stay so busy in the community, they’ll tell you: “It’s who we are and how we met.” Jim has been part of the Kiwanis family since 1977, first in Key Club, then CKI, and now Kiwanis. Having met like-minded friends—including his wife—through Key Club and CKI, Jim names his Kiwanis-family upbringing as key to his personal success. Read more of Jim’s shared story and other inspiring entries, or share your own on the Key Club alumni website.

  • What are you doing to support The Eliminate Project? Share your story.

    September 28, 2011

    Through The Eliminate Project, the Kiwanis family will change the world. We’ll help raise US$110 million to save and protect millions of mothers and newborns from MNT—and protect the connection between mother and child that this deadly disease destroys.

    To make this happen, we need to engage people in valuable service and fundraising, and we need to share our stories, news and inspiration—about The Eliminate Project and about our clubs’ efforts.

    Are you planning a service or fundraising event for The Eliminate Project? Let us know! Email TheEliminateProject@Kiwanis.org prior to your event, and we will help you generate awareness. 

    Has your event already occurred? Let us highlight your story. Email TheEliminateProject@Kiwanis.org, and we will include your story in our blog.

  • New resources to help you spread the word about The Eliminate Project

    September 26, 2011

    Maternal and neonatal tetanus affects many, many mothers and babies in the poorest countries of the world, and it’s going to take the help of many, many people to eliminate it from the world. To help you reach those many people, Kiwanis is constantly creating resources for your campaign, so keep visiting the Resources page of The Eliminate Project website to find out what’s new.

    Here’s what’s new this month:
    Turn a can into a coin collection container using the club coin can label. Print them off and start collecting. Every contribution counts!

    Download The Eliminate Project logos in your preferred format: JPEG, GIF or EPS. Be sure to follow the logo guidelines when placing the logos in your promotional materials.

    Look and sound professional as you educate groups about The Eliminate Project using presentation resources, including the new PowerPoint template. Add photos and copy from the Talking Points and you are ready to present!

  • Sign up now for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF

    September 23, 2011

    For many years now, children in the United States have dressed in costume on Halloween night and gone door to door collecting coin donations for UNICEF. Since 1994, Key Club has joined in the fun Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF, a worldwide organization that, like Kiwanis, is dedicated to serving children’s needs. Over the years, Key Clubbers—with help from Builders Clubs—have raised nearly $5 million for iodine deficiency programs worldwide, HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya and Swaziland and, most recently, Operation Uruguay: Protecting the rights of children.

    This year, all funds raised by Key Clubs and Builders Clubs through Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF will go to The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus. 

    Builders Clubs and Key Clubs will receive their collection boxes in early fall. Order any extra collection boxes from UNICEF.

  • October is the month of the young adolescent

    September 21, 2011

    October is the month of the young adolescent, an annual international collaborative effort of education, health and youth-oriented organizations like Kiwanis. During October the National Middle School Association brings together a wide range of organizations to focus on the needs of this important age range, ages 10 to 15. October would be a great time to charter a Builders Club, the Kiwanis Service Leadership Program for middle school and junior high students. Learn what makes this group tick and help young adolescents become caring and compassionate citizens through Builders Club. Starting a club is easy: go to www.kiwanis.org/charter.
