Procedure: In Compliance YOUNG ASTRONAUT PROGRAM
The Young Astronaut Council has indicated an interest in developing a special relationship with Kiwanis International. The Y.A. Council would like to work with governors in selected districts to establish state-level task forces composed of representatives of state education associations, the PTA, the state board of education, interested industries, and perhaps other volunteer associations. This task force would devise and implement strategies to encourage the development of Yo~ng Astronaut chapters.
In turn, the Y.A. Council would develop materials that include the Kiwanis International logo and specifically address ways in which Kiwanis clubs can start and support chapters of the Young Astronaut Program.
Staff has contacted six governors-elect, and four plan to discuss this proposal with a representative of the Young Astronaut Council. A fifth
governor-elect indicated he would like to learn more but was not as enthusiastic!
Only one governor-elect indicated that he would not consider special support for the Young Astronaut Program. In addition, in Utah, where the Y.A. Council already has a state-level task force, the governor-elect is discussing ways in which Kiwanis can become involved.
The Committee endorses the Young Astronaut Program and recommends i t as a worthy program for districts. We look forward to watching this co-operative effort develop at the District level.
Recommendation #8:
The Committee recommends that the Board approve the concept of greater involvement with the Young Astronaut Program and requests staff
to inform districts of the potential for a stronger relationship with the Young Astronaut Program at both the district and club level.
I move that recommendation #8 be adopted.
(Adopted) Finance: In budget
Procedure: In Compliance
-5- CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK TELETHON
A review of Kiwanis involvement in the Children's Miracle Network Telethon for this year revealed that 1,600 Kiwanis clubs participated in the Telethon, approximately twice as many as last year. The funds raised this year
quadrupled from last year's $300,000 to $1.3 million. Kiwanis was second in dollars raised only to the Dairy Queen chain.
The Committee endorses this project and recommends that Kiwanis International continue strong support.
