RESOLUTION OF MOUNTAIN VIEW KIWANIS CLUB OF CALIFORNIA TO KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

EXHIBIT S

Whereas Vanished Children's Alliance is a reputable nonprofit organization pro- viding valuable assistance to law enforcement agencies and guardians in locating Americas missing children; and

Whereas Vanished Children's Alliance needs financial assistance because as a national service organization headquartered in San Jose, CA it does not qualify for local funding from organizations such as United Way; and Whereas Vanished Children's Alliance has agreed to provide widespread national

publicity to Kiwanis by:

a) including the following statement on all literature published and distributed with Kiwanis funds: "THIS (POSTER, DIRECTORY, PREVENTION PACKET) WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE CONTRIBUTION AND CONCERN OF KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL";

o) crediting Kiwanis for its assistance in any press releases, newsletters and media interviews;

c) encouraging parents and guardians of recovered children to express their appreciation to their local Kiwanis Club; and

Whereas, the Mountain View Kiwanians and the Presidents' Council of Division 34 of the Cal-Nev-Ha District believe that supporting Vanished Children's Alliance will further Kiwanis goals of promoting and serving the needs of America's children and will also provide extensive, frequent, positive publicity to all Kiwanis Clubs nationwide;

Resolved: We the Mountain View Kiwanians therefore request that Kiwanis .International Convention and/or Foundation provide significant funds during

its 1990 fiscal year to support the activities of Vanished Children's Alliance.

March 12,1990 Kevin W. Krepinevich

International Secretary Dear Kevin:

It is that time of year when the Resolutions Committee is preparing for its work.

I fully realize that the Committee is bound to consider only resolutions submitted to i t by appropriate bodies including member clubs. However, the Committee has the right to originate resolutions. From experience, I

would say that the results of the work of the Committee when ready for submission to the House of Delegates will represent resolutions almost entirely originated by the Committee itself.

For that reason, whether working as I did over the years with Resolutions Committees or since retirement, I have felt free to suggest a few topics which may

justify some consideration by the Resolutions Committee members.

1. Education. It is not only in the United States that the education of our youth needs continuing attention Education in a free society places great demands on the leadership. In a world where there seems to be an increasing emphasis on social welfare issues and where i t seems much more politic to spend large sums of meney in such fields, the need for support for top educational objectives with the wher.ewi thall to underwrite their accomplishment seems to demand an increased emphasis.

2. Citizenship participation. Years ago Kiwanis was

very favorably known for its Ballot Battalion effort.

Of course, voting is only one of the many responsib- ilities of cmtizenship. However, a good response to making oneself heard on issues through the ballot box is so required· if the rule shall be by the

majority in a democracy as apposed to rule by the minority- regardless of race, religion or sex- who will take time to express themselves. The world can take a real lesson from the emerging countries from communism where the vote in any election represents a high percentage of the eligible citizens. Maintaining democratic ideals in already established free societi is just as important and perhaps even more so than in the emerging countries of the world.

II.

Kiwanis, in recent years, has placed great emphasis on youth and the need here cannot be denied. Nevertheless there are needs in our communities worldwide which

coreectly fall within the realm of citizenship services.

Mavbe i t ' s time to again establish Kiwanis as a leader in co~munity service activities along with a continuing

emphasis on youth services.

3. Substance abuse. This topic falls into two logical categories at least.

A. The highly accepted effort with children to develop personal attitudes which will sustain them as drug

free citizens as they successully pass the test presented by some of their peers-- such an effort MUST not be allowed to die but rather to be further expended no matter under what banher i t may be utilized in the local community.

E. At the same time Kiwanis must recognize to an every

increasing degree the results of drug abuse on children.

The story of what happens to new born babies from drug related mothers is not only shocking but in some areas

of our society, the percentages of such children are almost beyond belief. This may be only one of the great needs in dealing with the needs of children in their early years.

I'J~vertheless i t is a specific ·which must be dealt i.,-,ri th in the hospitals in every community and i t surely demands the interest and support of programs to not only reduce the number of children born with such problems by dealinr

objectively with the health authorities who deal with th~·mothers but there is also the need to be concerned vrith such children themselves and their full treatment.

4. Other categories of assistance to younp children. Without doubt such other categories will be aealt with in the

l-'iajor Emphasis Progran for the comins- aclr:dnistrative ye2.r.

5. Support of countries emerging fror. communist rule or the rule of other dictators.We must welcome them into the society of free nations and we must pledge our personal help as well as urging the governments of free countries to undergird these people in every way possible as they struggle tiot only in the field of political independence but also as they try to

establish a stable e~onomy capable .of dealing with other countries in the field of trade. Human rights must be a dominatin~ factor in these emerging nations.

It is my hope that such topics as I have listed may stiimulate the thinking of the Resolutions Committee that i t not only look at such areas of concern but be stilulated to develop even

more important are~s for final inclusion in the resolutions presented to the dele 6 ates at St. Louis.

Kinest personal re~ards.

A Proposal for District and International Kiwanis

The Patient Emergency Fund of the National Institute of Health, though funded through the government and private sources often does not have sufficient funds to enable a family to travel there for a child's care or diagnosis. Family funds, too, are often limited by the jobs or even

excessive expenses leading up to the child's referral to. N.I.H. The family, too, might not be able to stay during such a difficult time for support of the child, unless funds were provided to make it possible.

Since Kiwanis is a national organization, it is proposed that we establish a linkage with the Social Service Department at Bethesda and refer to the area club or district anyone needing such assistance and the general

amount that might be needed. The patient and family can be kept anonymous by the social service person involved in the case, and we can be certain that amounts asked would not be excessive, but be definitely supportive of our aims as an international club.

Further, it is proposed that funds beyond the district level might be made available where the financial ability of a club or district might not be sufficient to meet the end.

William L. Lieber John D. Morton, Sr.

Gene R. Overholt Arthur D. Swanberg Other Participants:

Kevin W. Krepinevich John E. Merski, Jr.

William A. Brown Patrick A. Hatcher

A meeting of the Executive Committee was held at 9:00 a.m. EST on February 28, 1990, in the office of the International Secretary by conference telephone call.

President Noris A. Lusche presided.

A motion was duly made, supported, and carried as follows:

WHEREAS, the International Office was unable to purchase the additional umbrella insurance coverage of $39 million for $75,000 as approved at the January 22-26,

1990, Meeting of the Board of Trustees,

BE IT RESOLVED, That the overexpenditure in the 1989-90 General Liability

Insurance Budget, line item #486-8051-001 (General Liability Insurance Expense) in the amount of $75,000 be adjusted to $65,000 to purchase an additional layer of umbrella coverage of $25 million instead of the $39 million approved by the Board in excess of the present $11 million.

A motion was duly made, supported, and carried as follows:

RESOLVED, That the contract with Maryland Bank N.A. (MBNA) for the Affinity card program is approved with the understanding that telemarketing will only occur between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. daily local time.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT MBNA agree to the following:

• Annual Fees on Renewals: The annual fee is to be waived for the first year on the MBNA America Kiwanis affinity card. The card carrying Kiwanians can expect to be billed for their second year annual fee on the billing state- ment 13 months after the affinity card account has been opened at Mary- land Bank America N.A.

-2-

o Kiwanis Responsibility for Returned Maryland Bank America Credit Card Solicitation Mail Pieces: All mail solicitation pieces of the Kiwanis International affinity card program are mailed at the bulk rate. Those mail pieces which are returned to Kiwanis International as undeliver- able, for whatever reason, will not carry a return postage guarantee.

Therefore, Kiwanis International will not be responsible for postal fees that should arise due to mail return.

o Terms of Confidentiality Concerning the Affinity Card and Business Card Contracts between Kiwanis International, Maryland Bank America N.A., and Trans National Group Services: In the Kiwanis contract, the verbiage utilized to describe the restrictions relating to this subject have been broadened somewhat. Certain restrictions must remain such as sharing the actual royalty co~pensation with the general membership of Kiwanis Inter- national. If the previous were to be allowed, it would increase the risk that confidential royalty information would become general knowledge to the general public. Information relating to the Kiwanis Affinity card program may be released to association executives, past presidents, and association delegates.

(A copy of the corrected contract is included in the International Secretary's official minutes. It is not included with these minutes but is available upon request from the International Secretary.)

A motion was duly made, supported, and carried as follows:

RESOLVED, That the Proposed Draft of the Bylaws of the Kiwanis International- European Federation as amended is accepted for presentation at the European Federation Convention in Montecatini, Terme, Italy, June 8-10, 1990.

(A copy of the Proposed Draft of the Bylaws of the Kiwanis International-

European Federation as amended (March 2, 1990) is included in the International Secretary's official minutes. It is not included with these minutes but is available upon request from the International Secretary.)

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT to the

INTERNATIONAL ·BOARD OF TRUSTEES May 4,· 1990

I once regarded air travel as being exciting and glamorous.

However, in the 30 weeks that have passed since October 1, 1989, Jeannie and I have taken a total of 85 flights. Sixty-nine of those flights have been economy class, nine have been business class, and seven have been first-class upgrades. Since October 1, I have clocked the hours and minutes that Jeannie and I have spent in the air ( the time spent in the air only, not the time spent waiting in airports). When we touched down in Indianapolis at 4:49 p.m. on Tuesday, May 1, we had spent a total of 253 hours 29 minutes in the air. Breaking that down into a forty-hour work week, we have spent 6-1/3 weeks of the last 30 weeks in the air. I mention this as a point of information to those of you who will serve at some future date as President of Kiwanis International. The hours spent in airplanes, plus the time spent waiting in airports, is the least enjoyable time in an administrative year.

In February, following our 75th Anniversary ce1ebration in Detroit and our January Board meeting, President-elect Blechman and I attended the European Federation Board meeting in Zurich, and prior to that board meeting, I held a half-day conference with our European governors. The governors from Italy and Netherlands Districts did not attend this meeting. Guy Caron, M.D., International Committee Chairman for Membership Growth-Europe, and Hans Servais, International Committee Chairman for New Club Building-Europe, were also in attendance~ W. Thomas Nelson, Jr. and Donald R. Collins from staff also were present~

It was a very productive meeting.

At the time I visited our K.I. Regional Office in Zurich, it was staffed by Rene' Chapuis, plus one full-time and two part-time clerical assistants. Between the members of that staff they had the ability to speak and write nine languages -- English, German, French, Italian, Czech, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Norwegian. The full-time clerical position is now open, and a replacement is being sought.

During the month of February I also spent some time meeting with staff in Indianapolis and made my official visits to the

Illinois-Eastern Iowa and Alabama Districts.

Early in March, I attended a meeting at the Department of Justice (Drug Enforcement Administration) office in Washington, D.C.
