The committee then discussed a possible connection of the recently formed Kiwanis Club of Oaxaca, Mexico, with California, Nevada and Hawaii.
Although this club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Palo Alto, California, a letter from the secretary of the California - Nevada - Hawaii District indicates that the District does not want the club affiliated unless the District compensates for expenses will receive from Kiwanis International. As a result of the trip, a second club has already been organized in India in New Delhi and work is progressing on clubs in Lod, Israel; Tehran, Iran; Nairobi, Kenya;. President Maury will attend the Asia-Pacific Conference and make official visits to the districts and non-district countries and some of the Asia-Pacific region.

Prior to this board meeting, the board committees of Key Clubs and Circle K Clubs met to discuss the expansion of Circle K and Key Clubs into areas outside of the North American districts. The Board voted to accept the report of the Board Committees on Circle K and Key Club and directed the General Office staff to proceed with the special investigation as specified in the report. Charts provided by the General Office staff show that the rate of cha1·ter revocations is higher than the rate of new club building for both Circle K and Key Club International.
It was also noted that a lack of continuity in Circle K and Key Club was a factor in growth. The Council agreed that the General Office staff should develop some specific proposals for the Circle K and Key Club Board Committees to consider in the following areas: (1) grants for Kiwanians and Sponsored Youth members related to new club building and membership development, (2) ) ways for Kiwanis International to emphasize proper sponsorship to Kiwanis clubs, and (3) ways to provide better training and motivation for Kiwanis district leaders about. This joint meeting of the Board Committees on Circle K and Key Clubs has been called to discuss the expansion of Circle Kand Key Clubs outside North American districts.
It was noted that the current Kiwanis International Bylaws do not refer to Circle K or Key Club International, but only to the formation of local Circle K and Key Clubs by Kiwanis Clubs and the role of the International Committees for both groups. The Circle K and Key Club International organizations were created through action by the Kiwanis International Board to administer these two programs in North American districts.
