CAPITAL DISTRICT PHILANTHROPY continues to be WORLD CLASS!!!

by Scott Zimmerman

As of April 30th 2011 Kiwanians in the Capital District have charged into third place worldwide in terms of Average per member contribution to the Kiwanis International Annual Club Gift Campaign to support the Kiwanis International Foundation. We are currently averaging $4.33 per member which means that we are only $0.67...yes that is 67 cents...short of achieving the maximum number (10) of matching scholarships for our Key Clubbers and our CKI members!!!!

Please don't stop now!!! Has your club made your annual club gift to the Kiwanis International Foundation yet at the $5.00 or better benchmark? You can check by going to the following site. Please copy and paste into your browser and then click on the annual club gift link by district...then click on Capital.

You will be amazed at the levels of philanthropy that your fellow Kiwanians have achieved. Thank you to all Kiwanians who understand the power of philanthropy to affect the lives of children for the better.

Next month I will share some great news about one of our CKI members from Virginia Tech. Can you guess what that news is?

Yours in Kiwanis Service Today and Tomorrow,
