CKI Goals Update
March 13, 2009
Without every one of you this wouldn’t be possible!
Circle K International district officers and members,
As we begin to transition from the 2008-09 officers to the 2009-10 officers
we have a momentous opportunity to revise where we stand as an
organization in our goals. At the beginning of 2008-09, your International
Board set forth a series of organizational goals believed to truly reflect the
potential and abilities of the CKI membership.
Without a doubt, we stand by our belief that our goals can certainly be
accomplished, however your involvement is essential. Your 2008-09 CKI
executive committee has put together a list of suggestions and
recommendations regarding the fulfillment of the 2008-09 CKI
organizational goals for both incoming and outgoing district boards to
consider.
Like always, the committee and the rest of the International Board are
here to serve as your voice and your vehicle of change in our organization.
If you have questions, comments, concerns or suggestions regarding our
organizational goals or any other matter regarding CKI please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Changing the world together,
Ricardo J Torres

Help us keep the most accurate numbers for our
CKI 2008-09 organizational goals. Here’s how:
Membership
 Work with club presidents and club treasurers to ensure any outstanding
dues are submitted. Also, if there are any unresolved issues, contact your
International representative so these matters can be resolved.
 Encourage incoming club officer boards to hold spring recruitment events
and/or encourage current non-dues paid members in CKI clubs to take
advantage of all the membership benefits by paying their dues.
Service hours
 Encourage both incoming and outgoing club secretaries to submit all of
the service hours performed by the members, and then district secretaries
or governors can submit revisions to the current tallies.
 Use spring rallies and officer trainers to explain the importance of
accurate service hour tracking and report submissions.
Six Cents Initiative
 Have you turned in donations via mail directly to UNICEF? If so, give us
a call or send us an e-mail so we can make sure all donations are being
tracked toward our organizational goal.
 Outgoing club officer boards can hold a “Pie in the face” fundraiser as a
last-event to close out their year and raise some more funds for the Six
Cents Initiative.
Club retention, building and reactivation
 Have clubs near you that are currently suspended? Then head on over and
help them recruit on campus! Work with your lieutenant governors to do
one-day recruiting events at all the campuses with CKI clubs in their
division.
 Work with local Kiwanis clubs and school administrations in securing the
support network that will allow suspended or potential clubs to achieve
retained or active status.
Large Scale Service Project and International convention
 Start saving up, send out letters to your local Kiwanis clubs and don’t
forget to see if your school has any money you can apply to fund travel to
conferences. And join us in Birmingham, AL. Be there!
