Why is Growth Important?
![Page 3: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What do you love about your club?
Whatever it is, members make it happen. The service, the leadership, the fellowship, the fundraising—it all requires Kiwanians. And it all helps strengthen your community.
![Page 4: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Imagine all of the service you have done in Kiwanis the past year…
Now imagine all of the service your club has done since it was founded…
![Page 5: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Think about how many lives your club has touched or improved…
![Page 6: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Now imagine… NONE of that service ever happened because there was no Kiwanis club.
![Page 7: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
That’s what’s at stake if we continue to lose members and fail to grow.

TO MEMBERSHIP?

100% of the people you don’t ask to join Kiwanis will not join.

GROWTH

Poor Member Experience SIGNS OF A BAD MEETING
•No meeting agenda
•Never end on time
•No greeter
•Not fun
•Lack of a interesting speakers
•Inside jokes, games, collecting money, singing or contests not
explained to guests
•NO DISCUSSION OF UPCOMING SERVICE PROJECTS
![Page 15: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lack of focus or disregard for growth - NOT DISCUSSING THE PROBLEM
Lack of Follow Through- “NO TIME” EXCUSE or SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT.
Inflexible or too rooted in tradition- REFUSAL TO CHANGE EVEN IF IT MEANS GROWING
IMPEDIMENTS TO GROWTH

What are your Dues?
Cut dues to the bare minimum = $102 + club dues
$62: Kiwanis International Dues/Insurance/Magazine+ $30: Florida District Dues+ $5.00: Kiwanis International Foundation + $5.00: Florida District Foundation
Ideas to Lower Dues:
Don’t include meals in your dues
Create a separate dues plan for different types of members: Under 40, SLP Faculty Advisor, Parent of SLP Also remember 2 yr. dues waiver for former SLP members
![Page 19: Visualize or Fossilize: Growing Your Kiwanis Club](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081515/554d7539b4c90567188b4698/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Many of these desires are the same for ALL MEMBERS.
Is your club ready to meet their needs?
