I am excited to announce that the first few clubs to complete this year's New York District Kiwanis Young Children Priority One (YCPO) Project have submitted their forms. This includes the WT Clarke Key Club which was the first to complete the project.
For those who may have missed my previous articles, Gov. Mike Malark is encouraging all Kiwanis Clubs in the New York District to complete the 2010-11 New York District Kiwanis YCPO Project. This project asks clubs to support the Kiwanis International Worldwide Service Project ELIMINATE and engage in projects in two(2) of the following areas: Maternal and Neonatal Health, Child Care and Development, Parent Education and Support, Safety and Pediatric Trauma
These projects may be service projects, fund raisers or educational/awareness campaigns.
So far, the clubs submitting YCPO project forms represent a nice cross-section of K-Family branches. This is a great project to work on with your Service Leadership Program clubs. Gov. Mike has extended eligibility for NYD Kiwanis YCPO Banner Patches to any K-Family club in the New York District. Kiwanis Advisors are asked to share information about this project with their K-Kids, Builders Clubs, Key Clubs, Circle K and Aktion clubs and encourage these clubs to submit their own YCPO Achievement Report forms.
YCPO Achievement Report Forms can be downloaded from the New York District Kiwanis website at www.kiwanis-ny.org under the District tab and Forms on the drop-down menu. Should you have any difficulty downloading the form, please email me and I will email a form to you.
If I can be of any assistance in helping you or your club plan a YCPO service project, please do not hesitate to contact me at rs2wdld@aol.com.
I look forward to reading about the many varied ways that Kiwanis Clubs and SLPs throughout the New York District are making young children our priority one.
