• Money matters—Get sponsored to attend Kiwanis-family events

  April 30, 2012

  One great benefit for Key Club members is access to leadership training, district and international conventions and regional conferences. But sometimes those events might require travel, lodging, food and registration fees.

  Here’s the good news: You don’t have to pay all of that on your own. In fact, the one-third plan can help you raise the money you need. Fundraise one-third of the cost yourself, ask your Key Club to pay or fundraise another one-third and talk to your sponsoring Kiwanis club or local businesses about supporting the rest.

  And Key Club’s got some new tools to help you out! Check out the Key Club event sponsorship toolkit by going to www.keyclub.org/events and clicking on “Event sponsorship toolkit” in the right-hand column.

• March for Babies Day is almost here!

  April 27, 2012

  Key Club / Circle K members, it’s time to send out those fundraising reminders, get your sneakers ready & have a great time walking for healthy babies! Here are a few tips to help you and your team get ready for the big day at March for Babies:
  
  

  The night before!

  • Check the weather and let teammates know if they should pack a raincoat and/or sunscreen.
  • Text a reminder about when and where your team will meet at March for Babies.
  • Make sure any signs you want to bring are packed and ready to go.
  • Pack the essentials and the maybe-essentials: a fully charged cell phone, your list of walkers’ phone numbers, T-shirts and Band-Aids®.
  • Bring all cash & checks with you to turn in at the walk!
  • Post a reminder on Facebook and Twitter to tell everyone you are walking, and ask them to help you reach or exceed your fundraising goal for healthy babies!

  1 to 2 days after March for Babies
  
  Personally thank everyone who helped, and if you can’t do so in person, be sure to say thank you by email. Let everyone who walked or supported the team know how much was raised and how important their efforts were.

  • Send handwritten notes to supporters and encourage team members to do the same.
  • Give local businesses that supported your team a boost. Thank them in your social spaces and stop by in person.
  • Celebrate your success! Post your fundraising total online. Celebrate team members and top fundraisers with a picnic or party.

  Thank you for supporting the March of Dimes in March for Babies! Send photos & stories to teamyouth@marchofdimes.com and post on our Facebook page at facebook.com/marchofdimesyouth.

• Videos bring your club’s service to life

  April 25, 2012

   

  Including video clips on your club website or in electronic newsletters is a powerful way to make Kiwanis activities come alive for your members. But don’t let unfamiliar technology scare you off: Downloading, viewing and even embedding video into your own website is not as hard as you think. You can easily learn how at www.KiwanisOne.org/videos.

  And don’t forget to subscribe to the Kiwanis International official YouTube video channel at www.youtube.com/kiwanisinternational by clicking the yellow “subscribe” button in the top left corner. You can be notified when new videos are posted.

  Some of the videos available to download or view on YouTube include:
  The Eliminate Project
  On To New Orleans
  Imperial Beach—South Bay, CA One Day
  Kiwanis International President Messages
  From Past to Present

  If a video cannot be obtained from YouTube or Kiwanis’ Google file library (downloads), then you may request a CD (data file) or DVD. This may incur a cost to cover production, materials, shipping and handling.  Please send all requests with exact video title to videos@kiwanis.org. For more information on accessing Kiwanis videos, visit www.kiwanisone.org/getvideos.
