TO: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL Gentlemen:
For several years now, a goodly number of our Board members have felt that the Kiwanis International Foundation should be
in position to render assistance to communities that have been proclaimed disaster areas.
During the Central America disaster a few years ago, several letters came into our office inquiring as to whether or not we were collecting funds for disaster relief in Nicaragua.
William M. Eagles, M.D. We understand that Kiwanis Clubs in Central America made in-
q17Bellevu~Aye_nue, Suite 100 quiry as to whether or not they would be permitted to solicit
Richmond, Vugmia 23227 other Kiwanis Clubs in other countries for disaster relief funds and were somewhat disappointed when they were told that
i:o.e~~~i1ell t~e s~licit~tion of disaster relief funds was contrary to
Klamath Falls, Oregon 97601 Kiwanis Policy.

A few weeks ago a tornado rendered devastation in 5 states killing over 400 and injuring over 4000. Many Kiwanis commu- nities were affected. It was estimated that the damage in addition to the killed and injured was over 5 billion dollars.
Thousands of folks were left homeless.
Additional inquiries were a Disaster Relief Fund.
received by our office concerning We feel that the Kiwanis International Foundation could render a real service in time of need by establishing a Disaster Relief Fund operating under a very simple policy:
That in time of a National or International disaster we solicit clubs for funds on a voluntary basis
(the same as the Birthday Gift solicitation).
Should the disaster occur in a community in which there is a Kiwanis Club, the funds collected would be for- warded to the club affected.
- 2 -
Should the disaster occur over a wide area with several commu- nities or states affected (such as the disaster a few weeks ago) the funds would be sent to proper relief agencies, such as Red Cross, Salvation Army, or other proper agencies working in the disaster area for distribution.
We truly feel that the response would be good and we would be rendering a real Kiwanis service.
We trust you will give this request due consideration at the April Board Meeting and the matter referred to the proper Board Committee so that
the Kiwanis International Foundation Board may add the matter to its agenda for the Denver Board Meeting.
Sincerely, /!_..,/ ,---. }i ,, o'

REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATION AND STRUCTURE TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
April 27 - May 1, 1974 Date of Committee Meeting: April 27 and 29, 1974 Place of Committee Meeting: General Office
Present: Members - Merald T. Enstad, Maurice Gladman, T. Ben Hagler Chairman - Charles M. Roberts
Staff Members - R.P. Merridew, L.A. Hapgood, Fay H. McDonald, A.G. Terry Shaffer, Robert M. netloff
Others - At various times all members of the Board participated in the discussions of the Committee
Leadership Recognition Re Guidelines for Distinguished Lieutenant Governor and Distinguished Club President
The committee has examined the recommendations of the Staff on the Guidelines for Distinguished Lieutenant Governor and Distinguished Club President which are to be offered to those districts participating in these two programs and makes the following recommendation:
Recommendation #1:
The committee recommends that the guidelines for districts to use in determin- ing Distinguished Lieutenant Governors and Distinguished Club Presidents, as contained in Exhibit A attached to the report of this committee, be approved.
I move that recommendation 1 be adopted.
World-Wide Structure
Following the adoption of certain principles at the February, 1974 Board meeting, the committee was mandated to consider the,next steps to be taken with respect to the implementation o.f these principles. As a result of the action taken at the February, 1974 Board meeting on the principles for World~Wide Structure, letters were sent to district leadership and an announcement was made in the April, 1974
issue of the Bulletin For Kiwanis Officers soliciting responses on these principles.
The committee reviewed and appreciates the many responses from Kiwanians throughout the world at the club level, from district leaders (Governors, Governors-elect and District Secretaries) from past members of the International Board and from Past
International Presidents.
These responses clearly set forth that Kiwanians, although having a variety of opinions, have demonstrated a vital concern regarding the structure of Kiwanis for the future.
The committee recognizes that any changes in our structure must be approved by the delegates at an International Convention. Therefore we suggest the following steps:
A. A resolution setting forth concepts at the Denver Convention of 1974 B. Appropriate amendments implementing the adopted concepts for consider-
ation at the Atlanta Convention of 1975
C. Full implementation of the amendments as adopted in Atlanta at the San Diego Convention in 1976.
To carry out the first step as indicated in (A) above, a draft of an administra- tive resolution is attached as Exhibit B.
The committee is retaining for continuing study the following matters:
1. Specifics on what constitutes specified representation from the United States, Canada, and each federation.
2. The matter of officer selection in the restructuring of the Inter- national Board of Trustees.
3. The matter of representation from other areas' of the world other than from a federation.
Recommendation #2:
The committee recommends that the administrative resolution on World-Wide Structure be presented to the delegate body at the Denver Convention as contained i.n Exhibit B, attached to the .report of this committee.
I move that recommendation 2 be adopted.
Number of Directors for Small Clubs
The committee continued the discussion started at its February meeting concern- ing a recommendation of the 1974-75 International Committee on Administration to allow clubs to have less than the mandatory limit of seven elected directors.
After due consideration, the committee believes that clubs would be better served if the mandatory limitation of elected directors was changed from "seven" to
"five."
Since the Board Committee on Laws and Policies has a potential amendment on this subject, this recommendation is being referred to that committee for proper wording and recommendation at an appropriate time for presentation.
Recommendation #3:
The committee recommends that the Board Committee on Laws and Policies properly reword the amendment it has on file re Article I, Section 1, of the Bylaws of Kiwanis International to provide for a minimum of "five
directors" and to present such an amendment at the time deemed appropriate.
I move that recommendation 3 be adopted and referred to the Board Committee on Laws and Policies.
Re£ort of Committee on Achievement
The minutes of the March 29-30, 1974 meeting of the 1973-74 International Com- mittee on Achievement are attached to this report as Exhibit C. The committee
commends the International Committee on Achievement for its excellent report and concurs in the recommendations of this committee as set forth on pages 4 and 5 of these minutes.
Recommendation #4:
The committee recommends that the instructional sheet accompanying the Annual Club Report state that reports are to be filed no later than October 15, and that districts use the October 15 filing date in all their communications to clubs. Further, that districts be informed that they will receive full credit for all reports received postmarked up to and including October 31.
I move that recommendation 4 be adopted.
Recommendation #5:
The committee recommends that the chairman of the incoming International Committee on Achievement be invited to attend the meeting in Chicago of the current year's International Committee on Achievement.
I move that recommendation 5 be adopted.
Commit.tee on Public Relations Re Basic Club Committee Structure
The committee carefully reviewed requests received for consideration in rein- stating a club committee on public relationso After due consideration of all factors related to the matter of expanding the basic club committee structure, it was determined that perhaps part of the difficulty in the new committee struc- ture at the district, as well as the club level is a matter of education. Fur- thermore, there would be no opportunity at this date to make any changes for 1974-75 in club committee structure, should this even be desirable, because all materials and manuals have been produced for the 1974-75 administrative year.
Therefore, the committee recommends a continuation of a study of club committee structure and the proper education of district and club leaders relative to the proper functioning of the committee structure recognizing that any changes for the 1975-76 administrative year would have to be adopted by the Board no later than the February, 1975 Board meeting.
~eport on Distinguished Lieutenant Governor and Distinguished Club President Nominees for 1972-73
The staff reported that 135 lieutenant governors met the criteria for 1972-73 Distinguished Lieutenant Governor and all have the approval of their respective district governors. These 135 lieutenant governors come from 28 of the 30 dis- tricts.
There are currently 1,160 club presidents who have met the criteria for Distin- guished Club President, and these have been verified with their respective lieutenant governors. The committee was advised that several lieutenant gover- nors had not responded on verification but instructed the staff to accept addi- tional nominees upon verification by their respective lieutenant governors.
It is interesting to note that approximately 20% of the lieutenant governors and club presidents qualified for the respective distinguished awards for the 1972-73 administrative year.
Your committee believes that it would be most appropriate to very simply acknow- ledge any of these Distinguished Lieutenant Governors and Distinguished Club
