"Are You the One?"
Membership Campaign

Are you the one to make a difference?

This truly is an exciting time to be a part of Kiwanis!  Kiwanis International is pleased to announce a new membership campaign to directly assist clubs with membership growth initiatives.  “Are You the One?” is a proactive approach to directly assist Kiwanis clubs in membership growth for the remainder of this year ... and beyond.  Kiwanis International is offering clubs 10 easy to implement growth strategies to increase membership. 

It’s fun, and it’s easy.  The steps are:

1)  Contact the Kiwanis HELP LINE at (800) KIWANIS, ext 411, to get personal assistance, answers to questions, information, and collect ideas about service, growth, marketing, and membership.  Speak to a specially trained representative by calling (800) KIWANIS, ext 411.

2) Call for a personalized club brochure.  Kiwanis will create a personalized brochure to promote your club, recruit members, and build relationships with community supporters.  Kiwanis International will print 50 copies free of charge.

3)  Identify who’s who.  Identify occupations not represented in your club.

4)  Request prospect list.  Provide us with your postal code, and Kiwanis International will send you a list of prospective members in the business community, including addresses, phone numbers, contact names, and mailing labels.

5) Plan a theme party.  Invite four community leaders under the age of 40 to a club meeting, ask someone who has benefited from your club’s service to share their Kiwanis story, and celebrate Kiwanis’ contributions in your community.

6) Order recruitment materials.  Give prospective members additional membership materials.

7) Conduct new member orientation.  Educate new members about Kiwanis and its local service impact.

8) Celebrate recruitment success.  Recognize your club members for their recruitment efforts through the “1-2-3 You Hold the Key!” contest.

9) Reconnect with missing members.  Connect with inactive members.  Order eight Missing Member Responder postcards free of charge.

10) Make a difference.  Change the world one child and one community at a time.  Do a service project in your community.
