[edit] District Update June 2009

Fellow Kin

What a great year it has been. District Convention was awesome despite the popcorn...

The District Council has really made every effort to keep dues down and cut corners whenever possible. We have already taken a steps to combine meetings to avoid multiple weekends away reducing the costs of travel and hotels.

It is not just the responsibility of the District Council to keep dues down…it is everyone's responsibility.

Some of the reasons that dues are going up and have been is very simply this…MEMBERSHIP. The Zones, District and even National have not gotten any larger in leaders, but the costs to keep people in place and have programs to educate our members are still there weather we have 500 members or 600 members, but if we can divide that cost over 600 members it is going to be less than dividing it by 500 members. More members is less dues really that’s the bottom line.

I wish to extend my most sincere gratitude to everyone who has made a difference this year and brought in some of these great new members! Really it’s you who is making a difference not only to your new member and your community but also to Kin a whole.

Please keep in mind that when you submit your paperwork for a new member and it does not have a sponsor listed, I have no way of knowing or recognizing those individuals and as you can see throughout the year there have been several.

Thank you for what I consider a very successful year. I feel this role as Membership Director has been the most rewarding position I have ever held.

I would like to thank Governor Steve for asking me to be a part of your team and I look forward to serving again in the upcoming year as your membership director for 2009-2010 on Governor-Elect Ed’s team.

If you have any ideals or feedback please feel free to approach me anytime over the weekend or give me a call, email, letter whatever.

Lastly, please don’t forget to put in your application for the Denis Heaps Membership Award that goes from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 and will be presented at FLC in Sault Ste. Marie October 16, 17, 18.

Thank you.

Yours in Kin, Jeanine Bolger District 8 Memberhsip Director

[edit] District Eight Kin Minimum Standards

Fellow Kin:

From the feedback gathered through all the D8 zones conferences I would like to propose a set of minimal standards that will define the “Kin Experience” in Central Ontario. These aren’t “regulatory” but simply suggestions of how we might want to conduct the affairs of Kin in District Eight…

District Eight Kin feedback would suggest we support the following, as a minimum:

1. Monthly Meetings, (Not necessarily a dinner meeting)

2. Agendas used to guide meeting

3. Protocol to include

i) O Canada ii) A Gavel/Bell preferred iii) Objects and Aims recited iv Grace (if dinner meeting) v) Flags, in current edition vi) Kin song not necessary, but nice

4.Clubs complete one service/fundraising project in the spring and fall, each with a social function attached

5.The clubs in District Eight remain committed to Cystic Fibrosis

6.Club communication should least start with electronic means but not preclude a basic bulletin (cover page, minutes, roster and calendar)

7.Club executive should include President, Treasurer and Secretary

8.Clubs should have a membership plan and a risk management function

These are minimum standards. As clubs go forward they can adopt more advanced standards ie. Image programme, the song, more projects and fundraising, etc.
