opting out, or opting in?

Dear Friends,

At our recent convention, the decision was made to allow members who wish to do so to elect to receive their Ohio Kiwanis Magazine in electronic format only. The attached form is printed in the latest Ohio Kiwanis Magazine. If you could just bring this to the attention of your clubs and members at your next division council meeting, it would be very much appreciated.

Dave Whiteman
District Secretary
Ohio District of Kiwanis International

"Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time."

generativity

There's a fairly new book out by one of our local luminaries, Stephen Post, in which he talks about the concept of "generativity" as one of the elements that elevates the level of play in the community. One quote that made me think of Kiwanis, and Key Club in particular, was this, on page 49:

Generativity predicts that we will be successful. It has a positive
impact that is not related to social class, IQ, or religiousness. However, teens
who are highly generative tend to end up in a higher social class.

Hello all,

Attached is your latest Kiwanis bulletin. Please note that dinner reservations for the Division 15 meeting this month need to be in by this Monday. Call or email me if you're going. Also, I talked to Bob about his Past President's Party, and it's set for Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m., so save the date. He wants to go to Harry's Steakhouse again, so I have to confirm that. Have a great weekend!

Ellen
