Don Canaday Power Point Growth
This document provides guidance on building new Kiwanis clubs. It discusses that new clubs are built to serve more children in more places by filling community needs and providing fellowship and service opportunities. However, many new clubs from 2000-2001 failed within a few years. The key reasons for failure were being too small, lacking initial service projects and funds, and not properly training members. The document then provides a 7 step process to build successful new clubs with recruiting targets and timelines. The process involves forming a new club team, surveying the community needs, connecting with community leaders, recruiting at least 25 members, organizing the club, educating and training members, and providing ongoing support and mentoring.
