KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL
The committee noted that the promotion of the convention had begun; that two general e-mails were made and that some response was received at the General Office. Correspondence from a few districts re:1g activities of some of the Circle K District Conventions was received. The committee feels that it is necessary to confirm the proper role and activity of the Circle K International Officers.
With the exception of an assigned district convention of Circle K, no officer will visit another district for the purpose. The Committee proposes that these travel clarifications should come into force with the commencement of the new year of Circle K, 1975-76. This resolution was tabled at the request of the Circle K International President on the grounds that the additional time would allow the gathering of relevant information and material for consideration by the Committee.
The committee does not feel that it has sufficient information to justify the additional financial expenditure to increase the size of the Circle K International Council at this time. The committee feels that, whenever possible, it is in the best interest of the organization that the officers be elected from as wide a geographical area as possible. A copy of the preliminary program will be posted with the Board Minutes as Exhibit A.

MARCH 31
The committee reviewed the financial statement for the month of March and for the six-month period ending March 31, 1975. Revenues for the first six months of this administrative year amounted to $1,621.1L.8 at the same time last year. As we indicated at the February meeting, the primary reason for the improvement in revenue this year is due to the fifty cent rate increase for Overseas Expansion.
The budget for 1971',-75 provides for additional expenditures of $210,000. In the Publishing area, we have significantly accelerated our production plans. We are all aware of the rising cost of THE KIWANIS MAGAZINE, which is a major factor in the comparisons. The committee reviewed a rough draft of the budget proposal prepared by the staff for the 1975-76 administration year.
We will send a full budget to each member of the Board of Directors in the coming weeks for your review. After you have reviewed the first draft of the 1975-1976 budget, we would appreciate it if you would share with us any questions or recommendations you may have regarding it before our next meeting in Atlanta. During our June meeting we will submit the budget for the 1975-1976 administrative year to you for approval.
The committee recommends that accounts receivable totaling $2,698.55 from the clubs listed in the body of this report be written off. We also discussed the need for additional materials for the committee's presentation to the delegated body in Atlanta. Key Club and Circle K's quarterly statements of income and expenses for the periods ended March 31, 1975 and 1974 were reviewed.
Both organizations will need the current cash, as well as the short-term investments, to reimburse Kiwanis International for payment of their expenses for the remainder of this administrative year. The Committee reviewed and approved the payment of the invoice for translations of $438.23 submitted by the Eastern Canada and Caribbean District. The committee recommends that compensation for translations only be provided in cases where specific prior approval of the project has been given by the International Board.
