Last year we decided as a club to create a 3 year mission that our club would focus on. That mission is “Help Improve the Wellness of Children”. Each year the club has a different focus.
o Year 1
(2015): Focus on children’s physical health
o Year 2
(2016): Focus on children’s mental health
o Year 3
(2017): Focus on maintaining wellness throughout the life of the child and
building a healthy family environment.
This year we would like to tie this mission/focus in to what we
are doing as a club. Programs, grants, volunteer projects, etc.. If you have
ideas on how we can do this please see your committee chair person. You can also download a copy of the grant application.
Last year we also divided our committees into 3 major areas. Membership - Fundraising - Community Services. Each member was asked to join one of these committee and get involved with one of the committee projects. We will be doing the same this year. If you are interested in joining a different committee or if you would like to stay on the same one please go to the link listed below. I have created an online sign up that will allow us to catch everyone even if you're not at the Tuesday meeting. We will have various links to Sign Up Genius as projects come up and we need volunteers. Please know that you do not have create a sign up genius account to sign your name. All they will need from you is a name, number and email. That information only goes to the committee chair person and it is not shared by sign up genius. I used this same service several times over the past couple of years and I am fully confident on the security of your information.

Dan will be
sending a revised K of the Day schedule out shortly. We will be adding in the
4th week to the schedule, so your dates that were previous set may change
slightly.
We have a
few things coming up over the next month or so I wanted to let you all know
some dates.
10/9/2015 -
Governor's Dinner which is hosted by our club at the Pekin Country Club.
Tickets are $25 but since we did not have the 5th Tuesday meeting last
month, in lieu of a social we will use this dinner as the social. So
tickets for Kiwanis Club of Pekin members will be discounted to $15. The flyer can be downloaded here.
10/13/2015 -
At our regularly scheduled committee meeting lunch we will be installing new
board members and also voting to approve the new yearly budget. In order to
have enough for a vote we need every member to be present at this meeting.
10/27/2015 -
Membership Drive for Kiwanis Club of Pekin. This will be a
5k Fun run and we will be sending out more information as it becomes
available. Please print the attached flyer and post it wherever you can.
We are encouraging everyone to dress up in costumes! You can download the flyer here.
Again, if
there is ever anything that I can do or help with, please let me know.
Thank you,
Leon &
The Kiwanis Club of Pekin Board Members
