The Formula

Now the Holidays are over, the district is now in full swing again.

The Formula is back in business, we are now in 2015 and 100 years of service.

It would be just great when we attend our Mid-Winter Conference in Albany we have reached part of our total goal of 1,100 new members.

I would like see by February to have 350 members to the Kiwanis Family. It could be done.

I encourage every club and lieutenant governor to invite the New Club Builders and Counselors to attend your club meeting or divisional meeting, as a guest speaker on the Formula. Distinguished Past Gov. Joe Eppolito, Lt. Gov.-Elect Julie Watterson are working very hard to make our district be on top of North America. Every president, membership chair and lieutenant governor should set a goal for each club. As formula chair my goal is to have every club to be in the plus when go to the International Convention.

We need to work together in building the Kiwanis Family in our District. We have to get out of the frame of mind we don't need to add new members we are just fine. Well that's not good. We all need new faces and ideas so we can build our community, schools, and our YOUTH.

That's what we are about the CHILDREN.

I'm willing to travel where ever I need to be to support and assist you to continue our goal. Even though I'm a past governor, I know all of you. You have Kiwanis in your Heart and your Heart in Kiwanis. Our sitting governor has put faith and trust in me to continue growth in our great district. I have promised him we will do it together.

I encourage everyone to attend the Mid-Winter Conference and to attend our Formula forum. I promise you that there will be some surprises at the forum.

So, what are we going to do? I know! Invite a guest, have a membership drive, let's build a club.
