At our March 1st meeting, our presenter was our very own Marlene Wilson, telling us about her life. Our April 5th meeting will feature our other newest member, Cameron Marzi.
Thanks to our Club Treasurer, we now have a Credit Card Reader to use when collecting money at our fund-raisers.
Is Another Movie Night in our Future?
After an in-depth discussion at the February Board meeting, it was decided that we would like to continue doing a Movie Night as a yearly project… in January/February with the purpose of raising funds for the Key Club District Convention.
On Thursday, April 20th we are holding a special EVENING meeting so that we can see a presentation by the Key Club District Convention attendees. Be at 11511 Bull Mountain Rd., Tigard, at 7 p.m.
Youth Protection Background Checks
In the past couple of months most of our members have been undergoing the Kiwanis Youth Background Check. Every member who had not yet undergone the process recently received an email from the club secretary, sharing the link needed to proceed. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. We now have 80% of our membership, and 100% of our regularly active members, who have requested and/or received their Kiwanis approval to work with the Service Leadership Program youth.

After the April meeting mentioned above, the Board will assess its success, and consider holding more in-person evening meetings & socials during the summer months. The thought was to further explore the possibility of doing something the rest of the year, maybe once every two months, assuming this plan meets with member approval. Finding ways to assist our mem our members who have trouble making our meetings…

At the March Board meeting the club officers voted to become a Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program “Sustaining Sponsor”. This means that the club is pledging to donate to the KDCCP cause at least $1000 yearly. It was felt that since we already do more, year after year, we can easily take on this challenge. The benefit to KDCCP is a guaranteed income. The benefit to the club is that we will be recognized on their website and at their events!
It’s Key Club Scholarship Season!
Applications are available at the school and submissions are due on Monday, May 1st. The criteria for receiving a scholarship include: number of years in Key Club; general participation in the club, (service record); leadership in the club on committees and activities; offices held; and a description of their favorite 3 projects. They are also asked to write an essay on their “personal responsibility to the community”.
Officer Elections are Coming Soon!
The month of April is when our club creates the officer slate of candidates for the coming Kiwanis year. The positions are: President, President-Elect, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and four Directors. Typically, the PresidentElect automatically moves into the President’s position, and the Vice President moves into the President-Elect position. However, our club tried a 3-way joint Presidency this year… so we have yet to explore how that might pan out for the coming term! The Board meets once a month to determine the upcoming club calendar and to address issues that affect the club. Please consider the possibility of taking on a club leadership role for the 2023-24 year! Say, “YES” if approached to be on the Board. Elections must take place by mid-May, so expect to vote at one of our club meetings in May.
