Kiwanis International Foundation Report

Harry S. Himmel , President of Kiwanis International Foundation, presented a progress report on the Foundation:

Total income as of June 14, 1974, for the year beginning August 1, 1973, is over $118,000, the biggest income for any foundation year thus far.

The main source of income was from the Birthday Gift campaign) which brought in almost $81,000 up to this time. So far this year 1,011 banner patches have been given out. These are given to clubs contributing a dollar per member, one hundred percent, or $100. There were 100 Life Fellows this year as against 60 last year; 25 Memorial Fellows this year as against 16 last year; and 8 Tablet of Honor memorials.

We have under consideration and study~ major project for the Foundation and are hopeful we will come up with a recommendation on that during the next year.

The Popcorn for Profit Foundation, which provides cases of popcorn to clubs using this as a money-raising activity, has agreed to give to the Foundation $.25 for every case of popcorn they sell. This year they have sold 1,000 cases.

Many of the coordinators have asked for something which they could take to their district conventions with reference to the Foundation. We plan to create a film strip or slide pictures which will last fifteen to twenty minutes on the work of the Kiwanis International Foundation which the coordinators may take to their district conventions to make better known the work of the Kiwanis International Foundation.

The Kiwanis International Foundation has asked the International Board to reconsider the policy with reference to the raising of funds with regard to disaster relief. During the last couple of years, the Foundation has had a number of requests with reference to this type of activity but has not been able to undertake this activity because of the present policy of the Board.

(7)

We have to date $5,500 in the Harry F.

not sufficient to accomplish anything.

plans to discuss this with the Detroit done with this fund rather than to see

Young Scholarship Fund, but this is The Kiwanis International Foundation Number One club to see what can be it remain idle.

Key Club Seminar will be held August 30 to September 2 and the Circle K Seminar from October 18 to 20.

As you will remember a scholarship fund was created for Colleen Connelly.

She has completed her four years and inquiry has been received as to whether or not the Foundation would pay for her continued education in graduate work.

The Foundation boal;'d voted to do that and will supplement that fund, if necessary, from the Harry F. Young scholarship fund.

We have elected to our Board Ed Lobel'g from Eastern Canada to l'eplace Waltel' Howell, who is now President of the Canadian National Foundation. We have elected Hi Heimbaugh to the Board and re-elected Pete Peterson. I have been re-elected as President of the Foundation, Pete Peterson as Vice-President, and Walter Moore as Secretary.

A special committee of the Foundation is studying the matter of giving grants to organizations outside of Kiwanis whose objects and objectives fit in with those of Kiwanis International. We hope by the time of Council to be able to make some formal recommendations on this.

We had an attendance of about 200 at our Foundation forum. The main topic of discussion brought up by those in the audience was that the foundation is not known by the avet"age Kiwanians. It was suggested that the Kiwanis Magazine be used more to publicize the foundatiop..

16 coordinators were present at the Foundation Coordinators Luncheon and numerous ideas came from that meeting.

Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs Kiwanis Club

Secretary Merridew reported that at the Forum on Resolutions and Amendments the Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Kiwanis club indicated that it had at least one woman member and was considering three more, and that they further indicated they were aware this was in violation of the Constitution and Bylaws of Kiwanis International.

Voted, that the Board go on record directing the Secretary of Kiwanis International to notify the Cheyenne club that they are in violation of the Constitution and Bylaws, and that notice be sent to the club in compliance with the Constitution and Bylaws that unless the condition is remedied revocation will be taken by the Board, effective immediately.

It was suggested the procedure with respect to the revocation of the charter of a club should be studied and revised and clarified and that this matter be put on the agenda of the Laws and Policies Committee for the fall meeting.

Voted, that the Governors, Governors-elect, and District Secretaries be alerted as to the attitude of the International Board with refer-

ence to the enforcing of the Constitution and Bylaws in respect to the admission of women members and that it is their responsibility to bring any violations to the attention of the Board.

Voted, that upon learning of such a violation, the Secretary of Kiwanis International be authorized to write the club in violation, calling their attention to such and notifying them of the pending revocation of their charter.

Overseas Extension

Vvted, that Associate Secretary L.A. Hapgood be assigned to the Constitu- tional Convention in Quito, Ecuador November 28-29, 1974.

Voted, that Secretary R. P. Merridew be assigned to attend the Board Meeting of the World Secretariat which will be held early in October, 1974.

Appointments for the 1974-75 Administrative Year

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE

INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 20, 1974

Exhibit 4fal

This pre- and post- Convention Board meeting will be the last that this particular Board, as presently constituted will have, barring any unforeseen reason. This has been an excellent Board and as its presiding officer I can't begin to adequately express my thanks and appreciation to you, for your diligence, for your friendship and very definitely for the support that you have given me throughout the year.

I am sure that this same response will be present throughout the remainder of the 73-74 administrative year. This same expression is extended to our two very fine secretaries, Reg and Larry,

At the time of this modified swan song, I would wish President-elect Roy a most successful year in 74-75. I am delighted that I will have another year on the Board and stand ready to be of any assistance, and to extend to the next Board the same degree of cooperation and support that Past President Lorin has given to us this year.

VISITATIONS As you already know the Eastern Asiatic trip was completed in November. All district visitations were completed the latter part of May. These visitations, in which all of you participated~ were certainly one of the highlights of the year. In addition to the delightful social aspects, I do feel that as a result of the activity of the various districts in setting up press, radio and television coverage, that Kiwanis and its activities are better known and that the public relations aspect of our organization is continuing to improve.

The dues raise for extension was promoted intensively and following our last Board meeting the structural changes in the Board were discussed openly and freely with many district board members.

GROWTH New Club Building and Membership Development figures will be presented by the secretaries. I do wish to encourage you as counselors to your respective districts to continue to promote this growth and keep up the momentum, which must continue, without interruption into Roy's year, I cannot com- pliment Lorin enough for the great effort and enthusiasm that he has given to growth, both in 72-73 and 73-74. His concern and interest has been inspirational and with all of us working, we have the opportunity to set the record for New Clubs this year, SPONSORED

YOUTH

until we have 1971-72.

I have continued to be pleased with the progress that Circle K has been making and feel that any changes that might be considered relative to structural changes should be very carefully evaluated had a longer background record with the changes that were made in As regards Key Club, I am not nearly so optimistic. There are still problems existing which must be given our continuing study and resultant action.

(11)

WORLD

SECRETARIAT

This was a most successful meeting in the sense of discussing and arriving at conclusions relative to the European Federation of Kiwanis International. It should be noted that this change in name was unanimously approved by the World Secretariat and thus .should be referred to the Board Committee on Laws and Policies for instructions and recommendations regarding policy change and confirmation by the Board with their recommendations for Kiwanis International-Europe. I have also asked the secretaries to furnish each of yoµ with a copy of the minutes of the World Secretariat meeting. The question of the European Federation dues increase and its relationship to maximum amounts allowed by Kiwanis International should be considered by Laws and Policies at our next meeting. The Constitutional and Bylaw changes are also referred to Laws and Policies for presentation to the Board at this session.

The question of supplies items, costs, charges, catalogues, etc. is referred to the Board Committee on Property and Supplies. This is a question that is of considerable concern to the European Federation leaders.

Roger Toje was elected Chairman of the World Secretariat for 1974-75 and I was elected Vice-Chairman. The next meeting is scheduled for July, 197 5 and is to be held in Reykjavik, Iceland.

EUROPEAN CONVENTION

The visit to the European Federation Convention in Vienna was most interesting. Emile Blaimont of Brussels is the new President- designate and Ernst Bar, of Bregenz, Austria, Austria-Germany Dis- trict, the President-elect-designate. The Federation is definitely moving forward, and positive interest is very definitely in evidence. The expense of the simul- taneous three language translations amounted to about $4,000, . but was reasonably effective. In my opinion, Egon L'Eplattenier is doing an increasingly effective job, but definitely needs assistance.

WORLD-WIDE STRUCTlJRE

Since our last meeting it seems to me that we have accomplished a . great deal toward alerting the entire organization to the goals

.and objectives of our efforts to achieve an improvement in the World-wide structure of the International Board. You have contributed greatly to

this achievement in the various districts. Additional discussion will be given this area of concern by the Committee on Laws and Policies at this meeting. There is no question that the successful handling of this matter is of prime importance to the future of the World-wide organization.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARIES TO THE

INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 20, 1974

Exhibit #2

Denver has been our convention city twice during our fifty-nine years history but our reason for being here this year is to observe the fiftieth anniversary of the 1924 Constitutional Convention which brought our six permanent Objects into official existence. Yesterday President Bill officially dedicated the beautiful

bronze plaque which has been installed over the entrance to Currigan Hall to serve as a permanent tribute to those six Objects, to the convention which ratified them, and to the convention which is about to celebrate their golden anniversary.

President Bill and the members of this Board have very good reason to be proud today. New records have been established in new club building and total membership, details of which will be presented later in this report. These records are the result of diligent and dedicated work by Kiwanis leadership at all levels under the direction of President Bill and in support of the theme -- "Give Of Yourself."

To that Kiwanis leadership, and particularly to President Bill and the members of this Board, we want to express our ~ppreciation and that of the General Office staff for all you have done for us and for the organization we all serve.

I

We regret the necessity of reporting that three of our Past International Presidents will not attend this convention. Fred and Beulah McAlister decided with great

reluctance to break their long record of convention attendance because of concern about the altitude of the Mile High City and uncertainties with regard to transpor- tation. Joe Tally's business responsibilities continue to make it impossible for him to attend. Ed and Dorothy Keefe are on a European cruise and have asked us to extend their regrets and warm regards to all present. These good friends will all be missed and we shall see to it that your regrets and best wishes are extended to

them.

CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS

Advance registration for this 59th Annual Convention is most encouraging with 12 districts having surpassed their quotas, particularly the host Rocky Mountain District which as of this date has registered 18 more than its 1,100 quota and we¹anticipate a large number of additional cash registrations. Warm congratulations are certainly in order for Host District Governor Dick Tucker and his fellow governors for their strong leadership in achieving this record. Host Convention Chairman Gene Steinke and his hard- working team of committee chairmen and members have been extreme.ly helpful to Con-

vention Manager Andy in this first year of experience under the plan which keeps the entire Convention Office operation in the General Office until thirty days before the Convention begins. This has proven to be a solid success, making full use of the services available only in the General Office -- particularly the data processing equipment which gave us accurate daily reports. As of today those reports on advance registration show 6,966 men and 5,049 women, for a total of 12,015. The total number of young people registered stands at 2,700.

Chairman Stan and the Board Committee on Convention have arranged an excellent program, with special emphasis on our Salute to the Six Permanent Objects, scheduled for Monday evening. Several innovations have resulted in streamlining the convention, allowing for earlier adjournment of general sessions and a more relaxed convention in general.

(13)

In addition to being welcome at all of the many scheduled events for men, our ladies will have two fine programs of their own on Monday and Tuesday afternoons in Currigan Hall. Co-chairmen Pat Tucker and Doris Steinke and all the ladies of the host committee have gone all out to provide two special programs plus a number of additional features which our ladies will thoroughly enjoy. · The shuttle bus problem which we drew to your attention at the last Board meeting has been completely solved so that we see no major problems as we approach opening day next Sunday .

.. NEW CLUB BUILDING

. As of this date 205 new clubs have been organized; this compares to 177 for the same period in the 1972-73 Administrative year.

One hundred fifty-five clubs have been organized in districts comprising the United States and Canada; nineteen in Kiwanis International-Europe; and thirty-one in overseas extension. There are twenty-five clubs in formation. Three of these are in Canada and the United States; fifteen in Europe and seven in overseas extension, All districts have organized at least one new club. With five new clubs organized, Montana has tied its all-time record established in 1921 and 1922. California- Nevada-Hawaii has organized sixteen.clubs as compared to seven last year. Several other districts have already equalled or surpassed their last year's new club building effort. Considering the record already indicated, the International Committee headed by Carl Miller still is confident that 300 clubs will be organized during

this Administrative Year.

MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

The record is membership development is equally impressive.

The certified figure as of March 31, 1974 is 270,433. This includes 5,573 members in Kiwanis International-Europe, and 4,228 in overseas extension. Twenty-five districts show a gain, five have lost members.

The total gain over the certified figure as of September 30, 1973 is 4,379 -- 3,479 are in the districts in Canada and the United States; 194 in Europe and 706 in overseas extension.

The trend figure as of May 31, 1974 is 274,646. This figure is 4,682 larger than at the same time last year.

The total adds figure for this year as of May 31 is 35,817. This compares with 35,058 last year. The.adds in May were the largest ever in any recorded month.

The figure is 5,755.

Our attention must be given at this time to districts which seem to still need additional help in developing a positive membership growth program. Where the current program on growth is understood and implemented, positive results are evident.

INTERNATIONAL EXTENSION which they are

limitations.

The growth and strength of the overseas effort are in direct proportion to the ability of Kiwanis to provide for the needs, of the clubs either through the maturity of the structure in organized or through service which can be provided under budget

(14)

- 3 -

With nineteen clubs already organized in Europe and fifteen in formation,,it would seem that the federation will end the year on a positive note. The record in the Pacific area is especially impressive. Almost all the twenty-nine clubs already organized are in that general area with 17 of them in the Philippines. This compares with nine clubs organized in the entire Pacific area last year at this time.

Our major concerns are in those areas where additional strength of service supple- mented by manpower assistance is so necessary. Only the availability of budgeted

funds will make this possible •.

SPONSORED YOUTH

The picture in Circle K is excellent. Sixty-one new clubs have been organized this year as compared to forty-one last year. Membership is also approximately 2,000 higher and the money collected through the Sponsorship Fee program is $49,260, approximately

$1,500 more than last year.

In contrast the picture in Key Club.has not changed much since our last report to the Board. Dues collections are $147,447 as compared to $151,000 last year.

On final tabulation, the loss in membership will undoubtedly be about the same as last year. The weaknesses in the Key Club operation are also indicated by the fact that nearly 200 charters will be revoked at the next convention and another 265 clubs are delinquent in dues payment. These clubs will constitute the largest non-meeting list Key Club has experienced to date.

It would be hoped that the implementation of at least some of the firm recommenda~

tions made by the Special Study Committee might result in helping to put the Key Club movement·. on a more firm base than has, been evident in recent years .

. IMAGE The first year of our YOUTH CAREER AWARDS PROGRAM is drawing BUILDING to a close and, as expected, a flurry of additional interest is just now being shown by a number of Kiwanis clubs coinci- dent with the end of the school year. You :will remember that about half way through the year it was decided that the total emphasis would be placed on the awards themselves, rather than on the promotional relationship with the Interna- tional Palace of Sports. This has proved to be much more attractive to Kiwanis Club leadership. With this concept being followed in the second year, plus the fact that the highly popular O. J. Simpson,.our new King of Sports ,-is intensely interested in the Youth Career Awards Program, we should experience a much greater degree of participation in this program during the forthcoming year. The new O,J.

Simpson King of Sports Medals are on sale at the supplies counter at this convention, together with the remainder of the Mark Spitz medals. Both series are certain to be considered collectors' items since they are limited editions. This year a deadline date of December 15th has beeri set, after which no orders will be taken and the dies will be destroyed. By agreement with the International Palace of Sports all medals which remain unsold will b~ bought by them at our list price, PANORAMA Panorama, our radio program, is now being broadcast each week on sixty-seven stations in the United States and Canada. New stations are being added each week so that good progress is being made in our announced intention to build up a Kiwanis network which will con-

tinue to broadcast public relations material for the individual clubs as well as for the district and for Kiwanis International. This network should also provide an excellent potential acceptance for our special programming in honor of the Bicentennial of the American Revolution, now being prepared. All of our special Bicentennial material, under production in our Public Relations Department, will

(15)

be presented under the theme and logotype which have been officially registered with the Bicentennial Commission in Washington, D.C. Our theme -- "The Volunteer

and His Nation" -- and official logotype were announced and also illustrated in The Kiwanis Magazine and the Bulletin for Kiwanis Officers. There will also be a display in the public relations booth at this convention.

FINANCES Our financial condition has not changed to any great extent since our report at the last meeting of this Board. We continue to experience the same inflationary increases that are being experienced by all types of organizations and are searching out every possible method to hold down our cost of operation. Certain areas are more difficult than others. For example, in order for our field service to provide the necessary assistance to the districts to build over two hundred new clubs by convention time it has been necessary to approve expenditures in that area that are higher than originally planned.

We shall continue to utilize all possible cost-saving methods and, barring some unforeseen difficulty, feel confident ,that we will end the administrative year with an excess of income over. expense.

STAFF You are all aware of the fact that, due to Betty's health, it became necessary for J. Frank McCabe to retire earlier than anticipated from his responsibilities as Director of International Extension.

Frank will be leaving our sta-ff as of June 30, 1974. Effective July 1 the area of overseas extension will become a part of our entire Field Service operation under

the continued direc~ion of Alonzo J. Bryan. On that same date Robert Detloff, previously Manager of Club Services, will assume new duties as Manager of Extension in the Field Service Department. In this newly created position, Bob will be

. responsible for overseas extension and certain areas of new club building in the United States and Canada, No replacement has yet been found to manage the Club Services Department.

GREAT NECK, NEW YORK

Pursuant to the direction of this Board at its last meeti~g the President and Secretary of the Great Neck, New York club were-notified by registered mail of the intention of this Board to revoke the club's charter unless they conform to the Constitution and Bylaws of Kiwanis International in the matter of female members. We received, within the

prescribed time limitation, an official notification of the decision of the membership of the club to refuse to comply. They were immediately notified (on June 5, 1974) of the revocation of their charter. They were informed that this revocation will become 'final sixty days from June 5 unless their club elects to file with me a written notice of appeal, which shall be considered and decided at the next convention of Kiwanis International. If they wish to take advantage of this provision for appeal at the Denver Convention it will be necessary for us to receive written notice to that effect by next Monday, June 24 so that the appeal can be brought before the House of Delegates on Wednesday morning, June 26. No such desire to

appeal has been filed as of this report.

LOOKING AHEAD While the current administrative year has been setting new records in the indicated areas, our leadership training for governors-elect has been proceeding as planned. An innovation of special interest is the new series of Kiwanis Education Tapes, more familiarly known as the KET Tapes.

(16)

- 5 -

Twenty-five in number, these tapes were written and voiced by those staff members who are responsible for the specific areas covered. They are designed not only

for district governors but also for lieutenant governors and club presidents and, even at this early date, have been very well received. To date, 15 districts have purchased the KET Tapes. One district has ordered fifty of the special tape

recorders and appropriate tapes for use by all their lieutenant governors. If we can judge by these immediate reactions our new KET Tapes will be put to very good

use in the years ahead. ·

REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON CONVENTION

TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 20-21 & 27, 1974

Date of Committee Meeting: June 20, 1974

Chairman - Stanley E. Schneider

Staff Members - Andrew P. Kelly, R. P. Merridew

Others - Jack P. Delf, Merald T. Enstad, Charles M. Roberts, Ernest Sturch, Jr.

The Committee met in the Denver Hilton Hotel and the Chairman opened the session by calling on Convention Manager Andy Kelly who have a breif report on advance registration. Also reviewed were such items as the augmented sound system, the excellent shuttle bus arrangements and display areas, to name only a few. He was particularly complimentary to Host Committee Chairman Gene Steinke and his hard working committees. Andy reported in some detail on the excellent working of the

new convention administration setup which brings him to the convention city in mid- May rather than early February. The committee expressed considerable satisfaction with the results of these arrangements and urges that they be continued in future

years.

The committee reviewed income and expense factors which have been experienced thus far. The June 14th total of 12,015 paid registrations surpasses quota, and assures a satisfactory financial status for this convention.

Secretary Reg was then asked to report in detail on the convention program, The committee was very pleased to note that all is in readiness for the opening of the convention,

REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON LAWS AND POLICIES TO THE :MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES

June 20, 21 ^& 27, 1974 Date of Connnittee Meeting: June 20, 1974

Place of Connnittee Meeting: Denver Hilton Hotel, Denver, Colorado

Present: Members - James C. Brooks, Stephen H. Hart, Jr., Ted R. Osborn Chairman - Ralph C. Keyes

Staff Members - Fay H. McDonald, L.A. Hapgood

Others - William ;M. Eagles,M.D., Maurice,Gladman, Hilmar L. Solberg The Committee had referred to it, two requests received by the Board from the Kiwanis International Foundation Board. These requests seek guidance on the

following two matters:

a. Relationship of the Kiwanis International Foundation to other national Kiwanis Foundations.

b. A Kiwanis International Foundation Disaster Fund.

Your committee believes that these two important matters deserve more study than can be given at this meeting of the committee. Therefore, the committee ·wishes to retain these matters for further study and reconnnendation at its next meeting.

The Administrative Resolution

The committee addressed itself to the Administrative Resolution being presented to this convention on worldwide structure. The discussion brought out the following background: the principles on worldwide structure were adopted at the Febru- ary, 1974, meeting of the Board; drafts of the resolution were originated within the sixty (60) day rule of submission o'f resolutions including one which was

received from a local club; and the decision to present such a resolution was made at the April/May, 1974, meeting of the Board. However, the Board at this meeting should reaffirm its desire to present a resolution on previously adopted principles related to world-wide structure to the delegates at the Denver Convention for the purpose of obtaining an advisory vote from said delegates.

Reconnnendation #1:

The committee recommends that the approved draft of the resolution on worldwide structure be presented to the delegates at this convention in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday, June 26, 1974.

I move that recommendation 1 be adopted.

(unanimously approved)

(19)

Great Neck, New York, Revocation

The committee was asked for clarification of the status of the Great Neck, New York club in view of the June 5 notification of their charter which was sent to

the club President and Secretary by International Secretary Merridew.

Recommendation #2:

It is recommended that when a notice of revocation of its charter has been served on a Kiwanis club, all of its rights and privileges are terminated;

the club ceases to exist at that time and, therefore, has no status at any administrative level; it continues in this state during any appeal as prescribed in the Constitution and Bylaws.

I move recommendation 2 be adopted.

(adopted)

I move this report be received.·

1. Conference for Governors-elect, June 22

The Committee reviewed the final agenda for the Conference for Governors-elect.

This Conference will provide, among other things, an opportunity for the 1974-75 International Committee Chairmen to make presentations to the governors-elect. The emphasis, as has been indicated previously to the Board, is on the 1974-75 programs of Kiwanis International.

2. Meeting of the Council, June 23

The committee also reviewed the final agenda for the Sunday morning Council, whic1h is scheduled as a Council Breakfast Meeting to be held in the Silver Room of the Denver Hilton, starting at 8:15 A.M. The format will be the same as that of recent Council meetings at conventions.

3. Fall Council, September 29-0ctober 1

The committee agreed on the basic concept and format of the fall Council and would like to acquaint the Board with the tentative plan.

Aside from the meal events, we plan to have four basic morning and afternoon sessions. These will be a Sunday afternoon session on MOTIVATION, a Monday morning session on COMMUNICATION, a Monday afternoon session on PROBLEM SOLV-

ING, and a Tuesday morning session on COUNCIL BUSINESS. We are planning no formal presentation by International Committee Chairmen or Board Members except for addresses by the President and Immediate Past President and what- ever presentations are deemed appropriate for the business session. All members of the Board will, however, be used in roles of presiders and resource people.

We anticipate making more use than previously of small group conferences.

We plan to make use of outside talent to keynote and kick off sessions.

The installation of governors on Sunday evening, the 'recognition of Past Presidents at the noon luncheon, and the "On-to-Convention" banquet on Monday evening will be among the traditional features which we plan to continue.

(21)

This does not provide you with all of the detail of the program, but the committee did want you to have the general picture this far ahead.

The committee has no formal recommendations to present at this meeting.

I move this report be received.

Exhibit #6 REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON SPONSORED YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS

Place of Committee Meeting: Denver Hilton Hotel, Denver, Colorado

Present: Members - Paul Chandler, Merald T, Enstad, Stephen H. Hart, Jr.

Chairman - H, Lee Powell, Jr.

Staff Member - Robert F. Lucas

Others - Roy W, Davis, James C. Brooks, Jack P. Delf, Hilmar L.Solberg The committee met and studied the definition of Committee Responsibility as out- lined in the Standard Form of District Bylaws which for Key Club and Circle K

reads as follows: "The Committee of Key Club (Circle K) shall assist Kiwanis clubs in establishing Key Clubs (Circle K Clubs) in high schools (universities, colleges and technical schools), and shall promote the concept of continuing an effective sponsorship upon the part of the sponsoring Kiwanis clubs. The committee shall also be responsible for the proper carrying out of the Key Club (Circle K) District organization's administrative functions in accordance with the Kiwanis District Board's approval."

In the Manual for District Officers, it is stated that the Governor has the assistance of district committees for the purpose of educational and promotional work.

The district chairmen have only one distinct purpose, and that is to assist the governor in making certain that every club is engaged in activities which meet the needs of local communities,

Carrying this further, the general duties for all committees are to motivate club activity, to serve as a resource for local clubs, to promote major emphasis effort, and to communicate through accepted channels.

While these functions are true for both the Key Club and Circle K Committees, in these two areas only we have assigned additional duties and responsibilities which are defined by regulation and/or policy. Some of these are:

Training and counseling ~fa full set of district officers Supervision of and responsibility for Board Meetings

Convention site selection

Direction and control of district conventions Establish communications with clubs and sponsors

Control and responsibility for an annual general, and special convention, budget

Supervision of zone system, training of faculty advisers, production of materials (directory, magazine, etc.)

Supervision of Kiwanis policy in terms of Key Club (Circle K) district operation and sponsorship responsibilities.

(23)

Additionally, Key Club and Circle K chairmen are the only two committee heads which receive annual, specific, professional training on the operation and func-

tion of a district structure and their role in the structure; and they are two committees where personnel are kept for longer than normal service due to the amount of expertise involved. We believe it would be a constructive move to redesignate both Key Club and Circle K District Chairman.

Recommend a ti.on 1/: 1:

The committee recommends that the titles for Key Club and Circle K District Chairmen be changed to District Administrator for Key Club and District Director for Circle K.

(adopted)

The committee briefly again reviewed the matter of the Alumni Association for Circle K International and referred it back to the Circle K International Board of Officers for operational details and specific recommendation to this Board ..

I move this report be received,

REPORT OF THE TREASURER

The financial position of Kiwanis International at May 31, 1974, reflects an improvement during the past twelve months.

Total Current Assets amounted to $1,301,000 at May 31, 1974. 'The only sig- nificant fluctuations in Current Assets in comparing May 1974 with 1973 are found in the Accounts Receivable and Inventories. Accounts Receivable have increased approximately $30,000 in the past twelve months. However, most of this increase can be accounted for by inter-fund transactions, which include those accounts affecting Key Club, Circle Kand the Kiwanis International Foundation. The actual increase in the Accounts Receivable this year is about

$12,000.

Inventories reflect an incrase of $49,000. The primary reason for this increase is the lack of availability of most of the metal items in our inventory. As you know, it is very difficult to negotiate delivery dates on manufactured items, therefore, it is necessary for us to increase our inventory for such items as member buttons, gongs etc. Another contributing factor to the increase in this

year's inventory is the increased cost of the supply items over the last twelve months.

Current Liabilities amount to $736,000 --- which left a Working Capital at May 31, 1974 of $564,000, or an improvement of approximately $16,000 during

the last twelve months. Added to Working Capital are Other Assets -- Deposits and Advances totaled $98,000, and the Reserved Funds -- Funded of $313,000, Building Expansion of $141,000 and the Kiwanis International Building at $1 all of which reflect a Total of All Funds, or Net Assets at May 31, 1974, of $1,118,977.

REPORT OF BOARD COMMITTEE ON FINANCE

TO THE MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 20, · 21 8. 27, 1974

Date of Committee Meeting: June 21, 1974 Place of Committee Meeting: Denver, Colorado

Present: Members - Ted R. Osborn, Stanley E. Schneider Chairman - Maurice Gladman

Staff Members - Thomas

w.

Fitzgerald, R. P. Merridew, L.A. Hapgood Others - William M. Eagles, M. D. , Roy W. Davis.

The committee reviewed the Summary Statement of Income and Expenses for Kiwa~is International for the eight-month period ended May 31, 1974. It was found in order and approved.

The May statement reflects the income and expense pattern which was established early in the year. While total income of $2,204,000 is approximately $106,000 more than last year; similarly expenses have increased during the last twelve months. Expenses amounted to $1,977,000, as compared to $1,741,000 --- the excess of income over expense at May 31, 1974 was $226,000, as compared to

$357,000 at this same time last year.

You will recall that last year the net income figure for Kiwanis International at September 30 was over $160,000. As we have indicated in our previous reports, the net income figure for this administrative year will be minimal. In fact, if you approve all of the budget adjustments that follow in this report, the budget

for net income will be $14,000. We feel quite confident about this. estimated surplus because of the strong financial position of the convention operation at this time. At this date it appears that this year's convention may be able to return a portion of the previously all.ocated International dues to the general fund. If this happens, we would then add that amount to our net income figure for the 1973-74 administrative year.

Among those clubs involved in charter revocations at the April Board Meeting, the following clubs had accounts receivable balances at that time:

Kiwanis Club Of:

Haysville, Kansas Lincoln, Kansas

Latonia, Covington, Kentucky Kingston, Tennessee

$1,406.48 The total amount of the write-off of accounts receivable is $1,406.48.

Recommendation #1:

The committee recommends that the write-off of the accounts receivable totaling $1,406.48 be made.

(adopted)

The committee again reviewed the proposed budget for the 1974-75 administrative year, which reflects a net income figure of $25,872. As you know, included in this budget are the anticipated dues increase for Overseas Estension, and anticipated expenditures also based on the dues increase. If the dues amendment should be defeated, major adjustments would then have to be made on both sides of the ledger to this budget in order to bring it into balance.

Recommendation #2:

The committee recommends that the budget for the 1974-75 administrative year, which reflects a net income figure of $25,872, and which includes the anticipated fifty-cent dues increase, be approved.

I move that reconnnendation 2 be adopted.

(adopted)

The committee revfowed the annual list of budget adjustments which affects every department within the General Office. We are in agreement that the following budget adjustments be approved.

Recommendation 4/=3:

The committee recommends that the budget adjustments included in this report be made.

(adopted)

The committee discussed the possibility of an adjustment in the convention registration rates for Host Committee Kiwanians. There are many ways in which this can be accomplished. At this time the committee is studying the best possible solution, and it is our hope that this important matter can be resolved prior to the Atlanta Convention in 1975.

The referral from the Board Committee on Public Relations concerning a plaque for Pearl Harbor was discussed by the committee. It is our feeling that the 1974-75 departmental budget can care for this item, therefore, the expense should be charged against the approp:i;-iate expense account in the Public Rela- tions Department.

(31)

With the retirement of J. Frank McCabe, it is necessary for us to make a

recommendation to the Committee on Laws and Policies concerning the signatures on our operational checks in the General Office.

Recommendation #4:

The committee recommends that Fay H. McDonald be an authorized

signature on operational checks in the General Office and Robert G. Kavanagh be authorized to countersign.

(adopted) Recommendation #S:

The committee discussed the insurance coverage for kidnap, ransom and extortion. The committee is in agreement that this coverage be obtained to cover the office of the President and his family and/or any official representative for the President of Kiwanis International and the official representative¹s family while traveling _for, Kiwanis International.

I move that recommendation S be adopted.

(adopted)

I move that this report be received.
