On Sunday, January 30, every Kiwanis International Board member was invited to participate in a 20-minute training session on the televised interview. Reprints from outside groups continue strong, including one in the October edition of Canadian Reader's Digest. Attached is the "Public Relations Proposal: Meeting the Media Challenge of the 1980s" that you and other members of the Board's Committee on Communication and Education will want to review before our meeting.
Public relations is one of the most overused and least understood terms in the business world today. The techniques and "tools of the trade"11 are time-tested and have achieved great success in past public relations campaigns. The primary external focus of the 1983 public relations program will be to seek extensive exposure of Kiwanis service projects in the major North American media.
Our extensive public relations program will, whenever practical, use this new "state of the art" tool. For example, if the topic is medicine, then the excerpts will be sent to the medical editors of the top hundred newspapers. The use of such excerpts will give our magazine more exposure and increase the importance of the Kiwanis name.
Together, all of the above elements contribute to a dynamic and comprehensive new public relations program for Kiwanis that combines the best of the department's past services with new technology and ideas for the future. As described above, the external orientation of the 1983 program is aimed at the mainstream media. PUBLIC RELATIONS WORKSHOPS: Conducting PR workshops will be an important part of the department's role at the International Convention and as many district meetings as we can cover.

The Chairman briefly explained the purpose of the meeting and provided some background information regarding the rationale for the Canton's proposed bylaw change. Jim Ryan of the Canton Club presented an overview of their Club's efforts to consider the proposal from Kiwanis International, as well as the Michigan District, and the "Ping Pong Ball Routine" that was encountered to find out whether the proposal should was dealt with at the district level or at the international level. He also indicated that the Club would be receptive to changes in the language of the club.
Bob Crary of the Jackson Club weighed in on his objections to the original proposal's language. After considerable discussion, a revised and proposed bylaw amendment incorporating language acceptable to this committee as well as the Kiwanis Club of Canton was prepared and recommended by the committee for approval. 34; The New Club Building Committee shall study the possibilities of introducing Kiwanis into new communities located within the district and shall stimulate and cooperate with the chartered clubs of the district in their efforts to expand the field of Kiwanis service by building new clubs.
They will represent the Governor and they will have full responsibility under the Governor's direction to oversee the district's executive work in their respective divisions. Lieutenant Governor shall organize a joint meeting of all the clubs in his division at least once every year for the official visit of the Governor. The Michigan District Council endorses this proposed bylaw amendment for adoption at both the district level and international level.
Meanwhile, the Michigan District Board is adopting the proposal as part of its district policy.

In practice, responsibility for said publication has been a joint concern of the Board of Officers of Circle K and the Administrator of Circle K International. The Committee considered the Kiwanis International Foundation's request to discontinue the Office Services payment of $10,750 per year. In accordance with Kiwanis' standing procedure of not releasing members' names and addresses, the Committee denied the request.
Staff reported on a review of club charter cancellation procedures and the impact on the proper presentation of financial statements. The Committee recommends an administrative fee of 10% of the cost of the premium charged to the general liability insurance program. Further borrowing will be required before the receipt of half-yearly obligations in the second half of the year.
The cost of the equipment is considered a capital investment and funds are available. The Commission recommends that that part of the salaries accounts of the Meetings and Conventions Department which are directly attributed to the International Convention be transferred to International. The committee recommends retaining Mccready and Keene as consultants and approving pension plan revisions to be implemented in 1983-84.
Every effort will be made in 1983-84 to apply $2 of the dues increase to the pension and cash reserve base.
COMPARISON OF PLAN PROVISIONS

We have had the free and satisfactory offerings of two men representing the Eli Lilly Endowment as an indication of the quality of the contribution received. At other regular Board meetings, the Grants Review Committee reviewed and reviewed seventeen grant applications from within and outside of Kiwanis International. Grants solicited by Kiwanis International for a twenty-minute documentary, for the 1983-84 Major Highlight Project Guide, Builder's Club booklet, Key Club.
Grants were also made to the Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation, American Hearing Research Foundation and to the Freedoms Fomdation at Valley Forge. But of equal importance, and as a credit to the distinction of the Grant Screening Connnittee on the recommendation of that committee, the Board rejected other requests for grants amounting to $385,000, for various reasons, chiefly because they were not within the scope of our clearly stated objects either were purely local in character, or were unrelated to Kiwanis International Objects, Main Emphasis, or sphere of activity. A new project introduced to Kiwanis International and to the Foundation in MiIB1eapolis was the Character Education Program of the American Institute for Character Education and the Thomas Jefferson Research Center.
It behooves us all, you in your visits to the districts, and us, wherever we go, to introduce it to our clubs.
