REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON OVERSEAS EXTENSION TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Date of Committee Meeting: October 1, 1976
Place of Committee Meeting: Board Room, General Office Present: Members - Paul Chandler, Steve Hart, Egon Kuzmany
Chairman - Ted R. Osborn
Exhibit 4fa12
Staff Members - R. P. Merridew, Alonzo J. Bryan, Raymond G. Jeanes, Neville Roennfeldt, Robert M. Detloff
I. Overseas Travel. The Committee reviewed the current Overseas Extension Policies regarding Presidential and Board travel. The Committee delineated five primary functions of this travel to overseas areas: inspiration, training, research, pub- lic relations, and trouble shooting. The Connnittee requests the Manager of Extension to coordinate a study of the achievement of these functions in relation to these possible concerns: cost justification, overexertion of the travelers, overexposure, best utilization of the International officer's time) and overshadowing of overseas district· officers. The Committee suggests that the result of this study be presented to the Board at its next meeting. Chainnan Ted Osborn commended Robert Detloff for the preparation and coordination for his extensive trip to the Far East.
II. Kiwanis in.Africa. A report on extension into Nigeria by Ted Osborn and Robert Detloff was heard next. Chairman Ted Osborn described his trip from July 29 to August 3 to charter the Lagos and Kano Cl~bs. He was able to charter the Kano Club, but -airline difficulties made it impossible for him to attend the meeting of the Lagos
Club. He was able to deliver the charter to the Lagos Club the following day. He reported that he found the Kano Kiwanians to be men of good community standing, highly educated and sold on Kiwanis. He rated the Kano Club as a good club. In his estima- tion Kiwanis has a strong foothold on the continent of Africa.
Robert Detloff reported that a third club is in formation in Nigeria at Ibadan. Work is also progressing on clubs in BerekU!Il and Accra, Ghana, and Monrovia, Liberia. He also told of receiving a very good lead for clubs in two cities in the United Republic of Cameroon, Africa, from Kiwanians of tha Benelux-France-Monaco District.
The Connn.ittee noted that the extension into Nigeria was according to the Five Year Plan for Overseas Extension presented to the Board at its February, 1976, meeting.
III. Five Year Plan. The Committee then reviewed this Five Year Plan for Overseas Extension and Overseas Extension goals for 1976-77. The Committee noted that the plan projected 122 new clubs for overseas extension in 1975-76 and that 111 clubs were actually organized outside the founding countries, with the possibility of other
clubs being received in the mail.
IV. Report on the South Pacific Area. A report was next made by South Pacific Field Service Representative Neville Roennfeldt on his first six months of work just conpleted.
-2-
He spent his first weeks surveying the situation in the Australia and New Zealand Districts and gaining the confidence of their Kiwanians. In the Australia District, he organized eight new clubs and the District registered its first membership gain in two years. He now has thirty other clubs "in the pipeline" and sees the possi- bility of 168 clubs in cities with population in excess of 10,000 in Australia.
He found the situation in New Zealand healthier and expects that with strong leadership this year there will be record breaking new club growth. He noted particularly the enthusiasm President Stanley Schneider and he found in the seemingly isolated clubs of the New Zealand District in New Hebrides and New Caledonia. He ended his report with the statement, "I look forward to this year with boundless optimism."
The Committee then considered its Agenda point VII, "Review of Status of Other Areas in New Zealand District." To further new club building in the District, the Committee suggests that an officer of Kiwanis International write the governor of the New Zea- land District in a diplomatic manner explaining the relationship of the Field Service Representative to a district.
V. Report on.the Latin America Area. Latin America Field Service Representative Ray Jeanes stated that he had little help in new club building from the district leader- ship. He organized eight clubs and reports that clubs are now located throughout Colombia. He has started work on clubs in twelve other locations. To assure future extension and to strengthen existing clubs, he felt it necessary to spend a consider- able portion of his time assisting in such district functions as convention promotion and preparation, leadership training, dues collection, and communication. He also assisted the Bogota Club in putting out five editions of the impressive KIWANIS EN ESPANOL Magazine, which is sent to all Latin America Kiwanians.
He reported that the District Convention held in Panama was a great success. He
expects that the new governor, Gonzalo Vasquez, will be a strong, effective leader and that the district will function as it should. He forecast that ten to fifteen clubs will be organized within the first six months of this year. He also expects to organize clubs in Brazil, Do~inican Republic, Bolivia, and Puerto Rico. He showed the Committee Spanish versions of new club building ~aterials and literature which he arranged to be printed in Colombia and which has been paid for from the Overseas Extension Depart- ment's 05-174 account, "Translations - Printing Overseas • ." He also described a con-
test he has devised promoting the winning of a Stanley Cup by every club in the district.
VI. Asia-Pacific Conference. Ted Osborn reported that he considered the 2nd Asia- Pacific Conference held in Singapore, September 2-4, very successful in achieving its aims of inspiration, training, and fellowship. Robert Detloff told the Connnittee that ninety-seven Kiwanians and thirty-five ladies registered and attended. The Conference again was largely self-supporting, ending with a deficit of only $290 to be covered by Kiwanis International. Chairman Ted comm.ended Manager of Extension Robert Detloff for his work at the Conference. The delegates at the Conference voted unanimously to request the Board to schedule another Conference this coming year in Manila. There- fore, the Connnittee makes the following reconnnendation:
-3- Reconnnendation #1:
The Committee reconnnends that the Extension Department be directed to promote and handle the preparations for a 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference to be held in Manila, Philippines, on dates mutually satisfactory to Kiwanis International and the Philippine Kiwanians.
I move that recommendation 1 be adopted.
(adopted)
VII. Republic of China District Status. The Connnittee reviewed correspondence from the Council of Republic of China requesting the granting of district status. Currently there are ten clubs and more than 400 Kiwanians in the Council. The Council also furnished a list of ten locations of new clubs to be organized in 1976-77. Chairman Ted Osborn reported that he found clubs of the Council to be active and strong during his recent visit. The Committee, therefore, made the following recommendation:
Recommendation #2:
The Committee recommends that the Council of Republic of China be granted district status as of October 1, 1977, and that the district officers will receive their training from the Kiwanis International representative who will attend the organ- izing convention of the new district in the Republic of China.
I move that recommendation 2 be adopted.
(adopted)
VIII. Overseas Extension Policies Regarding Districts and Councils. Regarding the creation of new districts, the Co:mmittee recommends:
Recommendation #3:
The Committee reco:mmends that the appropriate Board Connnittee develop explicit criteria regarding the number of clubs and membership required for the creation of new overseas districts and that this be referred to the Laws and Policies Committee for inclusion into Overseas Extension Policies at the next meeting of the Board.
I move that recommendation 3 be adopted.
(adopted)
The Conrrnittee reviewed the Overseas Extension Policies regarding the training of council presidents and overseas district officers. For budgetary reasons the Com- mittee reconunends:
Recommendation #4:
The Co:mmittee reconnnends that Overseas Extension Policy II, M, 1, (b), (3) be changed to: "The council president-designate shall be trained by Kiwanis Inter- national for his role of leadership including, but not limited to, the education and development of future leadership in the clubs in his council," and that this
- 4 -
be referred to the Laws and Policies Committee for inclusion in the Overseas Extension Policies.
I move that recomm.endation 4 be adopted.
{adopted)
The Comm.ittee next considered the training of governors-elect of overseas districts, and because of budgetary reasons recommends the following:
Reconnnendation #5:
The Connnittee recommends that Overseas Extension Policy II, M, 1, (c), (6) be changed to: "The governor-elect of each overseas extension district outside the Federated area shall be trained by Kiwanis International for his role of leadership including, but not limited to, the education and development of future leadership in the clubs in his district," and that this be referred to the Laws and Policies Committee for inclusion in the Overseas Extension Policies.
I move that recomm.endation 5 be adopted.
(adopted)
The Corrnnittee next considered the appointment of presidents for the Councils of Japan, Korea, Republic of China, and Puerto Rico. The following was recommended:
· Recorrnnendation #6:
The Connnittee reconnnends the appointment of Mr. Nobutaka Shikanai, Japan;
Mr.
Suk Chai Choe, Korea; Mr. Malcolm Walters O'Neill, Puerto Rico; and
Mr.
Frank Shih, Republic of China, as presidents of their respective Councils.I move that recommendation 6 be adopted.
(adopted)
The Corrnnittee next reviewed a letter received from Special Representative Antonio Dominguez Parra of Argentina requesting on behalf of the six clubs in Argentina the creation of the Council of Argentina. The Corrnnittee recommends:
Recommendation #7:
The Connnittee recommends that a Council of Argentina be established as of October 1, 1977 to include all the clubs in Argentina.
I move that reconnnendation 7 be adopted.
(adopted)
In April, 1975, the Board adopted a recommendation offering district status to Japan.
Mr. Yasuo Namekawa, a member of the Kiwanis Club of Tokyo, on September 21, 1976, visited the General Office as a Special Emm.isary of the Council of Japan's PresidenL Nobutaka Shikanai to inform Kiwanis International of the Council's acceptance of district status. The Corrnnittee, therefore, recommends:
-5- Recorrnnendation #8:
The Committee recommends that the staff proceed to make necessary preparations for the establishment of a district in Japan, to be effective on October 1, 1977.
I move that recorrnnendation 8 be adopted.
(adopted)
IX. Co-sponsorship. Robert Detloff reported to the Committee that there are currently forty overseas clubs which have not been assigned co-sponsors or twinning clubs be- cause of the lack of U.S. and Canadian clubs volunteering to participate in this program. The Connnittee requested the Extension Department to prepare suggested alter- natives to the current program for its consideration at its next meeting.
X. Further Extension. Robert Detloff next reported that offers to organize clubs in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Cameroon have been received. The Committee agreed that further investigation is needed before making a recommendation to the Board regarding the consideration of extension into Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Since Cameroon is contiguous to Nigeria and has a stable government, and since the French Kiwanians who have offered to organize clubs have regular and close ties with the prospective new club members and have indicated that they expect to be able to organize clubs in two cities, Yaounde and Douala, the Connnittee recommends:
Recorrnnendation #9:
The Committee recommends that the extension in the nation of Cameroon be approved.
I move that recommendation 9 be adopted.
(adopted)
I move this report be received.

REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
September 29-0ctober 2, 1976 Date of Committee Meeting: September 29, 1976

Chainnan - Merald T. Enstad

Staff Members - Thomas W. Fitzgerald, Gerald R. Jindra, Neville Roennfeldt, A.G. Terry Shaffer
I. Builders Clubs - Progress Report
The committee reviewed the progress of the Builders Club program, noting that as of September 30, a total of 97 Builders Clubs have been chartered. Staff briefed the connnittee on President Ted Osborn's efforts to stimulate the organ- ization of additional Builders Clubs. It is the feeling of the connnittee that a program as new as Builders Clubs will understandably take time to reach its poten- tial. The committee notes the progress to date and urges continued promotion of Builders Clubs.
II. President's Project - Progress Report
The connnittee studied statistics indicating that as of September 20, 1,284 Kiwanis clubs have submitted at least one President's Project, and many have
submitted more. Banner patch awards in recognition of the President's Project will be mailed'shortly after Council.
The committee is most pleased with this resonse and feels that the possible projects outlined in the President's Project Guide, in addition to the projects submitted by clubs, would continue to be of value to clubs in planning service programs in their connnunities. Staff was requested to explore the feasibility of the Project Guide being retained, updated, and distributed in some form, and present a report to the Board Committee at its next meeting.
III. Youth Career Awards Program (Supplies Items to be Available to Clubs)
The committee reviewed a Youth Career Award plaque and certificate as supplies items to clubs wishing to honor local youth. Both items will be available shortly and be relatively inexpensive but of good quality designed to be per- sonalized by the club. The connnittee expressed its approval of these items and commended Staff for its efforts.
IV. 1976-77 Major Emphasis Program
The connnittee reviewed the "Safeguard Against Crime" Project Guide, three supplies items (a door-hanger, home safety check list, and telephone sticker) in support of the Major Emphasis Program, and promotion undertaken to date on behalf of the Program.
- 2 -
President Stan Schneider expressed his desire that the connnittee give continu- ing thought to the promotion of the Major Emphasis Program.
The connnittee feels that the work which has been done is excellent.
Vice - President Ralph C. Keyes briefly discussed the Indiana and Michigan Dis- trict Police Camp programs. The connnittee feels these projects may well_have excellent possibilities, especially as they relate to the Major Emphasis Program this year. Staff was requested to supply the Connnittee with details before its next meeting.
V. 1977-78 Major Emphasis Programmin&
The connnittee expressed its feeling that in the future, more lead time is necessary in order to have the basic Major Emphasis Project Guide in the hands of local clubs well before the start of the administrative year. This concern will receive continuing study by the connnittee.
President-elect Maury Gladman spoke to the connnittee concerning Major Emphasis Programming during 1977-78. He basically endorsed the concept of the "Safeguard Against Crime" Program and indicated that during 1977-78 the Major Emphasis
Program may be along the same lines, with some additional features. He also stated that it was his hope to see the "Save A Life" Program (originated by the Florida District) receive additional promotion, though perhaps not as a Major Emphasis Program. The President-elect indicated that he would have specifics to present to the connnittee at its next meeting. The connnittee awaits the specific direction from President-elect Maury.
VI. Presentation of the 1977-78 Theme7 Objectives, and Major Emphasis Program(s) in Dallas
President-elect Maury expressed general approval of the method of presenting the Theme, Objectives and Major Emphasis Program(s) on Wednesday evening at the Dallas Convention but indicated that he may have some revisions to make with respect to his presentation in Dallas. The committee and staff will collaborate with Maury in formulating any suggested revisions.
VII. Program Development Comparative Statement of Expense - August, 1976
The connnittee reviewed the Comparative Statement of Expense for the Program Development Department, as of August, 1976, and found it acceptable.
VIII. Letter from Trustee Jack Delf Re: Lifelines for the Deaf Project
The connnittee reviewed a letter from Trustee Jack P. Del£ concerning a successful service project undertaken by two Kiwanis clubs in Salem, Oregon. The project involves the purchase, by a Kiwanis club or clubs, or obsolete teletype machines, one to be placed in each fire or police department and the others to be placed in the homes of deaf persons to enable them to have teletype interconnnunication with the fire or police department in time of emergency.
The committee requested staff to research the program in terms of its feasibility for reconnnendation to all Kiwanis clubs.
- 3 -
IX. Keywanettes Program (Progress, Continuing Study of District Structure Issue) The connnittee noted that information designed to assist Kiwanis clubs in sponsor- ing Keywanettes Clubs on a local level is available upon request from the General Office. Appropriate Keywanettes Club supplies may be purchased from the Supplies Department, and Youth Services District Chairmen have received relevant informa-
tion for their use.
The connnittee reviewed a letter from Sidney J. Smith, 1975-76 Chairman of the International Committee on Youth Services, detailing the progress which has been made in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District's program with a modified district structure for Keywanettes. This matter will be retained for further study.
The chairman concluded by thanking all committee members and staff for their assistance and contributions during this Board Committee Meeting.

REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON PROPERTY AND SUPPLIES TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
September 29 - October 22 1976 Date of Committee Meeting: September 30, 1976
Place of Committee Meeting: General Office
Present: Members - E. B. McKitrick, Drew M. Petersen, M.D.

Chairman - Dwight F. Gallivan
Staff Members - Thomas W. Fitzgerald, Richard A. Misch Frank J. Schwerthoffer
Exhibit #14
The financial statement for the Supplies operation for the eleven-month period ended August 31, 1976, was reviewed, found in order, and approved. It was noted that sales at August 31, 1976, amounted to $1,112,000 compared to
$1,048,000 at the same time last year. The gross profit on the sale of supplies at August 31 was $492,000 compared to $405,000 at this same time last year. The excess of income over expenses accumulated _to $119,096 at August 31, 1976, and compares favorably to last year's figure of $55,079.
While the supplies sales' figure will not reach the goal established a year ago of ~1,500,000 the total sales figure should reach approximately $1,300,000, which would be an increase of over $100,000 from the previous year.
The covers of the 1976-77 Kiwanis Supplies Catalog were shown to the committee.
Corrn:nittee members were also informed that this catalog will feature the Kiwanis supplies, and for the first time will have the Key Club and Circle K catalogs as part of the regular catalog. A separate Key Club - Circle K catalog will still be used. The cover and combined catalog concept was reviewed by the corrn:nittee and accepted.
The 1976-77 catalog has been offered to the Club Presidents by the addition of a request coupon in the President's packet. The response to this coupon has been about 10% of the coupons sent out. It was agreed that this offer be made in future President's packets, and that the possibility of mailing a catalog to all club Presidents will be studied and determined at a later date.
After some discussion of promotional supplies flyers used in mailing, we were in agreement that this same type of promotion be included in the Kiwanis and You kits.
Reconnnendation #1:
That the staff include the appropriate supplies promotional flyers in the Kiwanis and You kits that are purchased throughout the year.
I move that recommendation 1 be adopted.
(adopted)
