The New Year has brought change upon our ideas and future hopes. The Minn-Dak Key Club District Board has come up with revisions that will be discussed at the Spring Convention House of Delegates. The following is a list of main points that will be looked at.
-
Membership dues will be raised from $10.50 to $11.00. We feel that the extra 50 cents is a small amount of change that will have a huge impact due to the amount of members that we have. The new reserve of money will be used for improving conventions, and will hopefully offer a discount to Key Clubbers who plan on attending District Conventions.
-
Early Dues should be in by November 1st of the current school year and Regular Dues should be submitted by December 1st of the current school year.
-
A club is declared as suspended if they have not paid their annual club dues by February 1st of the current school year.
-
A club is declared as inactive if they have not paid their club dues from the previous year by October 1st of the following school year.
-
Clubs that are inactive or suspended cannot attend conventions or obtain any type of award at the district level
-
An inactive club may be re-activated if they do the following:
-
Fill out a chartering form
-
Pay their international dues
-
Pay the $100 re-instatement fee
-
-
A suspended club may become completely active again by paying their dues for the current school year
-
The original by-laws say that we must match the Kiwanis Regions. We now have 7 Divisions to match the 7 Kiwanis Regions. Division 7 is split into 7A and 7B. So we will now have a total of 8 Lieutenant Governor positions.
We will also be discussing club by-laws in the Officer Forum at Spring Convention. Officers and administrators will be receiving a template that can be used to organize their personal club by-laws.
