New Club Opening

As part of the Formula team, I am the Chair for New Club Opening for the New York District. We have divided the District into nine zones, with a Zone New Club Opening Chair and Division New Club Opening Chairs for all divisions except Long Island South Central and Suffolk West. These Kiwanians have been trained by Kiwanis international and are committed to work in their divisions to build new clubs along with their respective lieutenant governors.

Each division has two New Club Counselors who have been trained to work with newly formed clubs for a time period to ensure their success in operating. The New Club Counselors are also available to clubs that are struggling as well. Do not hesitate to contact them.

We need to grow. The Formula is a five-year program (in its second year) to grow Kiwanis significantly to meet the challenges ahead of us for service and fellowship.

Congratulations to Hudson River West Lt. Gov. Gerda Krogslund for building the first new club in our district in Washingtonville. She was assisted by New Club Opener Super Past Distinguished Lt. Gov. David Morse and New Club Counselor Past Distinguished Lt. Gov. Jim Lawyer. The club received its charter n April 10.

A few club sites are under way as the good weather finally comes to New York. If you have a site ... contact your Division New Club Opener. He/she will form a team to pursue the opportunity ! The entire Formula Team can be found on the district web site or ask your lieutenant governor.

If we do not grow Kiwanis now , we will have dim future for our great organization. Let's grow together!
