Thank
You !!
All
Kiwanians and Key Clubbers
who
helped with the Highway Clean-up—A job well done!!
Erie ‘09 Update www.erie09.net
Plans are well underway . . . Activities are scheduled . . .
Projects are being put into place. But
it’s not too late! It’s not too late to ask for donations for our goodie
bags . . . It’s not too late to get sponsor-ships for the many activities at
the convention . . . And it certainly is not
too late for you to REGISTER! There’s no reason why more than
half of the members in Division One can’t register for at least one day of the
convention. Work the registration desk for an hour or two . . . Attend the
Governor’s banquet . . . Learn about Kiwanis in action at the voting session .
. . Or do your part to help raise the healthy awareness of children with the
Wellsville Project! You won’t be sorry you did.
Goodie bags ‐ 500 bags were donated by
Northwest Savings Bank. We need “give‐aways” to include in our
goodie bag for everyone who registers. Every club should be working on getting
donations. If you know someone who might be willing to donate 500 items for the
bags, contact Randy at rrg3@psu.edu.
Fishing Charter — we are working
on an all‐day fishing activity which would take place on Thursday, August 20.
Details will be forthcoming.
Special notes: Encourage ALL
DIVISION ONE MEMBERS to attend the convention! We need at least 50% attendance
of all our members. You don’t have to stay all three days — register for one
day and come help. It’s a great experience!
You can be a dinghy too! A sponsorship of
just $100 will get you a one‐of‐a‐kind “dinghy” pin and a possible
invitation to a special reception.
ALL KIWANIS MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THE PLANNING MEETINGS. This is a HUGE event for our Division, and it will take everyone’s help to make it a success. If you want more information about Erie ‘09, contact Joe Murphy at murfmurf123@verizon.net or Cathy Szymanski at cathy@szy.com.
NEXT
MEETING: Wednesday,

Division One Goals for 2008-2009
Donations — I would encourage each club to contribute $5 per member to the
Pa. District Foundation. We saw an increase in giving this past year, but there
are still clubs who did not participate. This goal is aligned with one of
Governor John Burke’s goals: to create eight new scholarships this year. Two
high school students in our Division benefited from scholarships last year (Fort
LeBoeuf and Meadville). This is a strong message to our communities that Kiwanis
supports the local areas.
Membership — Growth should be an ongoing goal of every member, not just
governors and lt. governors. We, as Kiwanians, represent a great service
organization and we should all want to “share/grow our stories” with friends
and
colleagues.
Communication — Please share your club’s activities
through our Division newsletter (Patti at ladyp@coaxpa.com), attend interclubs,
use your local newspapers, and send emails. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Let it
roll with less friction by asking others for advice and help when needed.
Take pride in your club — Promote your club’s accomplishments,
have good speakers at meetings, invite friends to
attend even if they don’t want to join, and have fun!
