Following are some important reminders and updates:

Call to Minnesota-Dakotas District Kiwanis Convention, August 13, 14, 15, 2010 in Fargo, ND. The Official Call to Convention letter will be sent by U.S. Mail to all Kiwanis Club secretaries the first week in May. The mailing contains registration forms and also your club’s delegate certification form. Early bird convention registrations are due before July 1st. Register early! Also, remember that your Club Delegate Certification form needs to be returned by July 15. You can also access and print the District Convention Registration form and information on our district website home page at: http://www.mndak-kiwanis.org/public_district/pub_Content.aspx?Page=70

2010-2011 Club Election Report Online: Club secretaries should submit the results of club elections through the online reporting system as soon as elections are completed. Due date for the club election report is June 1st.

The Standard Club Bylaws state that clubs should hold their election of officers for the upcoming year between the first meeting in April and the second meeting in May. The club election report must be filed by June 1st. It is very important that this information is received in a timely manner so that directories and mailing lists can be compiled by Kiwanis International and the District Office.

Distinguished Kiwanis Club Status: Just a reminder that your club secretaries can now access an online summary from their “Monthly Report Launch Page” that will show you the points your club has currently accumulated towards the Distinguished Club Award. How is your club doing? You need 80 points to qualify. You have until September 30 to add to your points.

District Kiwanis Foundation and Past Governors Meeting: The District Kiwanis Foundation Board and Past Governors Meeting will be held on May 14-15 in Fergus Falls.

International Convention in Las Vegas, 2010: As of the end of April we have 80 Kiwanians and 27 guests from the Minnesota-Dakotas Kiwanis District registered for the Kiwanis International Convention. The total registration count is at 5575. That is up from the previous five years attendance. There is still time to register for the International Convention. You can also get all of the necessary forms and information on the Kiwanis International website http://www.kiwanis.org/convention/
