Welcome to my Governor’s Blog!
I am hoping to use this as more than a travelog but as a way to share information of use to clubs and members. I hope that you will check in once in a while and catch up on Kiwanis news.

Recruiting 101
Jim Courtright gave an excellent presentation in Surrey BC on Sunday, January 10, 2010, on the nuts and bolts of how to ask someone to join Kiwanis. While he approached it from a perspective of building a new club, the same strategy can be used to expand an existing club. There were about 30 attendees from Divisions 11, 13, and 18. We plan to hold similar sessions later in the year in other parts of the district, including a session at Midwinter Conference (March 5-7, 2010). If you would like training on how to recruit to be part of your Zone Conference, let your Lt. Governor know.

Coming Soon: Kiwanis Club of Surrey North
New Club Building Chair (and Division 11 Lt. Governor) David Evans is building a new club in North Surrey, so on Monday and Tuesday (January 11-12, 2010) about 7 of us who were at Jim’s session used our newly-enhanced recruiting skills to invite business leaders to join the new Kiwanis club. There is more work to be done, but I know David is committed to finishing the process. If you know of someone in the Surrey area, please contact David Evans in Division 11: www.pnwkiwanis.org/divisions.htm

90 Never Looked So Good
On Saturday, January 16, 2010, the Kiwanis Club of Victoria BC will be celebrating its 90th birthday! I am proud to be a member of a club with such a distinguished history of service to children, families and seniors. We are very much honoured to have as our distinguished guest speaker the Queen’s representative in British Columbia, the Honourable Steven L. Point, OBC, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. He is a past Chief of the Skowkale First Nation, Grand Chief of the Stó:lo Nation, and provincial court judge. www.ltgov.bc.ca/ltgov/biography.htm
