Kiwanis Haitian Earthquake Relief Project
As you are aware, there has been devastating earthquake in Haiti and I know that you are just as saddened as I by the death and destruction that is being reported from that country. What you may not know is that Haiti is a member of the Kiwanis family with an active Kiwanis club (the Kiwanis Club of Jeremie), which is in the Kiwanis District of Eastern Canada & Caribbean (EC&C). EC&C has begun a fundraising effort for earthquake relief, and the Kiwanis International Foundation, the Kiwanis Foundation of Canada, and the Government of Canada have each agreed to contribute $10,000 in matching funds to EC&C's fundraising effort. The EC&C Kiwanis District has set up a partnership with Canada UNICEF, which already has workers in Haiti, to administer and distribute the funds. Our Carolinas District Foundation has also approved a matching grant of $5,000 for funds donated by Carolina Kiwanians to contribute to this effort by our sister District of EC&C. We are asking that you and your Kiwanis clubs consider donating to the Haiti earthquake relief effort in support of EC&C by bringing a check to the MidYear Conference made payable to the CDKF Haiti Relief Fund. In Kiwanis Service, Governor Elizabeth | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

CLUB LEADERSHIP ORIENTATION
An Earlybird CLUB LEADERSHIP ORIENTATION, CLO, will be held Friday, February 5 from 1:00 - 5:00 pm at the Kingston Plantation Embassy Suites in Myrtle Beacn. While geared toward incoming Club Presidents and Secretaries, other incoming officers (such as Vice President) are welcome to attend. Oh, one more thing, this event is FREE! (This will be the only FREE CLO this year.) However, registrations must be completed so that we will know how much material to have on hand. Topics to be discussed include: district restructuring, club committees, meetings, membership, public relations, sponsored youth, and the monthly report among others. Leadership Guides will be distributed during the CLO. This action is different than previous years, where Kiwanis International MAILED the guide to each club secretary in May.
