PROMOTING INTER-CLUB MEETINGS
An inter-club meeting is a meeting or activity staged by two or more Kiwanis family clubs including K-Kids, Builders Club, Key Club, Circle K Club, Kiwanis and Aktion Club. The definition of an inter-club was expanded from simply attending another Kiwanis club meeting to include attending the projects, activities and social events of another K-Family club. The broadened definition promotes more opportunities for fellowship, education and encourages greater interaction between Kiwanis clubs and our Service Leadership Programs.
Inter-clubbing is a means of supporting Kiwanis’ fifth Object, which is, “To provide through this club, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build a better community.”
A wider scope of Kiwanis involvement can be achieved by arranging visits between clubs in the same town, division, and district, as well as inter-district get-togethers.
The expanded definition of an inter-club minimizes the monotonous routine of simply going to another meeting and allows clubs to interact socially, apart from the regularly scheduled meetings, in community fundraisers, service projects and social programs.
Careful planning at division council meetings and advance notification of projects and activities will lead to more inter-clubbing by more members.
An interclub is recorded by the Secretary on the monthly report when 4 members of our club attend another club’s function. So, it is important to let them know who attends. Each member will also receive a makeup credit for any missed meeting that they may have attended.
Promotion ideas: Sign-up sheet, email, Facebook, Twitter, calendar. Also, the best way is talking it up at meetings.
NOTE: Always give the other club enough notice to make sure they have enough reservations at their meeting location.
