If you haven’t already done so, hold a club officer election ● At a Board meeting, decide when and where to hold the election ● You will need a quorum of members present in order to vote in new officers ● Along with this, the new officers will need to make an effort to go to DCON, as it is an essential learning experience ● All elections need to be held before February 10th, because the division sign-ups for DCON are due by the 15th

Fundraise for DCON ● Narrow down the list of people attending ○ Focus on the newly elected club officers, first ■ Then go with members who have applied for personal or club recognition ■ Finally, encourage other active members ● DCON will be twice as much because it is in Anaheim this year, (the final payment in March adding up to $600). This cost includes: registration, hotel, most food, transportation and a day at Disneyland. ● Ask for assistance from Kiwanis sponsors to help cover the cost ● Begin planning with your club Board to organize fundraisers

Do a Project with the Children’s Miracle Network • Contact the closest CMN hospital which is the Oakland Benioff Children’s Hospital • Find out what your club can do to support them. Maybe it’s a fundraiser, but maybe it can be something as simple as devoting a club meeting to writing cards to the children • CMN is the district-recommended project for the month of February

Start Making Plans for March for Babies • It may seem early to get started on this, but March and April are so busy that it makes sense to begin thinking NOW about your plans for the upcoming March for Babies • The date for the Howarth Park event is, Saturday, April 23rd • Make plans to both help on the day of the event, and to fundraise in advance, in order to give a donation for the cause
