Exhibit A
TJITHEREAS, it is the experience of the Ticonderoga Chapter of Kiwanis International, based upon the record of its club activities, that many of its members, although unable, for various reasons, to maintain regular attendance at the club's weekly meetings, do attend and partic- ipate in the club's community activities, work projects, and fund- raising promotions, and
WHEREAS, it is the position of the Ticonderoga Chapter of Kiwanis Inter- national that attendance and participation in such club activities is as important to the sound function of a Kiwanis Club as regular attendance at the weekly meetings, and
WHEREAS, it is the position of the Ticonderoga Chapter of Kiwanis Inter- national that attendance and participation in the club's activities should entitle each member with the credit of a make-up meeting towards the regular weekly attendance requirements of Kiwanis International, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that it be the policy of Kiwanis Interna- tional to credit each member who attends and participates in a Club's community activities, work projects, and promotions with a make-up meeting towards the regular weekly attendance requirements of Kiwanis
International.

3. Promotion 1972-73
Mark H. Alexander, International Chairman, has recently completed personal phone calls to each of the thirty district governors in an endeavor to encourage each of these men to accomplish the new club building goals set for the districto Mark feels that the reaching of the goal of 300 new clubs is dependent upon the attitude, enthusiasm, and direction put in personally by the governors. The connnittee reviewed the monthly bulletins and letters that have gone out to his connnittee.
The connnittee solicits the cooperation of each Board Member to give a telephone call to the governor of the districts in which you serve as Counselor and discuss with him the growth situation in his district, with special emphasis on the building of new clubs. Offer your congratulations on what has been accomplished. You might want to encourage him to call each of his lieutenant governors to determine the status of new clubs in each division. Let him know that you will be visiting with him in Montreal to evaluate the progress that has been made.
We would caution you that there is a tendency on the part of the governors this year to want to throw the responsibility of forming new clubs over on the Field Service Staff. Emphasis must be placed on the voluntary effort within· the district and the pressing need for the governor to assume the leadership.

The connnittee was advised that consideration was now being given by local clubs to sponsoring youth clubs and using the proposed name of "Diamond K".
As no formal request has been received, consideration was withheld at this time.

The connnittee approved the suggestions presented with some addition to the wording to be engraved on the plaque.

desire to have him cover, either domestic or under International Exten- sion.
