v July 4th -‐ Mike Birkmeyer modeled this years 4th of July red tee shirts. The shirts are to be delivered by this weekend and should be available for sale at the Farmers’ Market this Saturday 5/28. See Pres. Dave’s help needed e-‐mail sent on Wed. 5/25.
v July 4th – Tom Harvey mentioned we will be doing a 6 weeks blitz to get corporate sponsorships in which we expect to get a total of $20,000. Tom asked if anyone would be willing to help. Tom Cation volunteered.
v Tent /Stage/Chairs/Tables/Stage – Pres. Dave showed a slide of the stage with the new skirting. Thanks to Charlene for the sewing on the skirt material to attach the Velcro and whatever else was needed.
v Scholarship – Lindsay Moore reported the committee awarded scholarships too:
G H S – Grace Parsely $3,000 Margaret (Maggie) Wolf $3,000 W M S – Amberly Knox $2,500 C -‐ T E C -‐ student $1,500 The scholarship recipients will be riding in the July 4th parade. The committee members are Lindsay Moore chair, Tim LePontois, Melissa Miller, Bob Warner, & Fred Wolf.
v Central Ohio MS Challenge – Pres. Dave showed a short movie about Craig Washka and the MS Craig’s Crankers. The film started with a narration by Chris Tranbarger who came to Craig one day and told him he (Chris) was riding in honor of Craig in the 150MS ride (it was 150 miles then). Craig received a copy of the Momentum Magazine in which he saw a hand cranked tricycle. He realized he could do this rather than navigating in a wheel chair and then it begins. Craig obtained a tricycle and participated in the MS with a few friends and family. This has grown from a few to at least 40 now. There are eight (8) of our Kiwanians that will be riding in the Central Ohio MS Challenge ride on July 9th at 7:00 AM at the Dublin Jerome High School in Dublin OH. The riders will ride 30, 50, or 100 miles. Our club members participating are: Craig Washka, Beth Howe, Oscar Mayet , Ken Paumier, Dave Thomas, Terry Van Offeren, Jean & Ken Cation. Oscar’s wife Gloria will also be riding. I haven’t heard anyone say how far they intend to ride, but I know I wouldn’t ride 30 miles and definitely not 50 or 100 either. Good Luck to all the participants and may the winds be behind you.
v Aktion Club – Lt. Gov. Jen Lewis mentioned there will be a kick off meeting at the Eleanor S Weiant School building at 116 N. 22nd St. in Newark. The meeting is May 25th (Thurs.) at 11:30 AM. There have been 50 people that indicated an interest in joining an Aktion Club. Granville, Heath-‐Mounbuilders, and Newark Kiwanis Clubs will be co-‐sponsors.
v Pelotonia signup – so far Tom Foster, Anna Kiser and Jen Lewis have signed up. Probably could use about 12 -‐15 members. The Pelotonia ride takes place Aug. 6th (Sat.) approximately 9:30 AM to 12:30 or 1:30 PM. Rick Pyka sent out the web address to signup. The e-‐mail was sent out on 5/16/16.

1. Roundtable meeting for Memorial Day May 30th -‐ Approved
2. Kiwanis International convention delegates are Don Lewis and Dave Thomas. Alice Lewis will be an alternate delegate. -‐ Approved
Comments Pres. Dave reported Terry Van Offeren had talked to George Fackler about having the Christmas tree sales at Facklers this year. We can use the lot to sell the trees but we will need additional help because their employees will not be available to take care of the trees -‐ selling, hanging etc. Pres. Dave mentioned Ohio District Governor Amy Zimmerman will be in the 4th of July Parade. Lisa Matula suggested we have head coverings for our members working at the food tent, as well as aprons. Lesa and/or Jerry were to check on getting aprons. 5 0 / 5 0 d r a w i n g w i n n e r – Tom Harvey – no jackpot but Tom does win another free Kiwanis dinner. The card was a black ace, but it was the Ace of Clubs. P r o p o s e d a m e n dm e n t s f o r t h e I n t . C o n v . 1. Auxiliary bodies – Purpose: to eliminate obsolete and potential confusing wording regarding auxiliary bodies of Kiwanis International. This eliminates auxiliaries from the Article XXVI Section J of the bylaws. Prior to 1987 auxiliaries such as Kiwanianettes were not allowed. They were wives of
Kiwanians. To me this is a housekeeping item. Submitted by the KIB (Kiwanis International Board). 2. Use of Kiwanis name and marks – Purpose: To clarify Kiwanis International authority regarding use of the Kiwanis name and marks as it relates to foundations and other affiliated entities, including intellectual property. The current bylaws do not mention protection of Kiwanis intellectual property and use of the Kiwanis name and marks by affiliates and subsidiaries. Without this addition, Kiwanis would have to bear the legal expenses to protect Kiwanis reputation though its brand and image. More house keeping? Submitted by KIB. 3. Kiwanis International affiliates and subsidiaries – Purpose: To codify Kiwanis International “affiliates,” which are regions or other groups composed of clubs and districts and “subsidiaries,” which are wholly-‐owned organizations and business entities. This amendment distinguishes between “affiliates” (such as Kiwanis International European Federation KIEF) or Kiwanis Asia-‐Pacific (ASPAC) and “subsidiaries” (such as Kiwanis International Foundation, Kiwanis Youth programs, Circle K International and Kiwanis Canada) and how International will be able to assist and retain a general oversight of them by review of proposed bylaws and amendments affiliates. More Housekeeping? Submitted by KIB. 4. District treasurer – Purpose: To revise the term and selection process for district treasurers in order to align districts with Kiwanis International’s strategic plan and provide better oversight over district funds, assets, and financial operations. This amendment changes the selection of the District Treasurer from and elected position to and appointed position by a district’s board. It elevates the position to the District’s Chief Financial Officer. The districts would have to change their bylaws by Oct.1, 2017. Submitted by KIB. 5. Annual adjustment option for Kiwanis International dues – Purpose: To provide that Kiwanis International dues may be adjusted by (the Int. Board of Trustees) no more than US$2 annually with a cap of US$5 over a five-‐year period, to keep up with inflation. Does this sound familiar? After the five-‐year period the House of Delegates would have to approve another increase for another five years. The increase would vary by Tiers. The US is in Tier A which pays 100%. Tier B pays 65% or US$1.30 and Tier C pays 44% or US$0.88. Submitted by KIB. 6. Secure web-‐based voting for Kiwanis International business – Purpose: To provide that the business of Kiwanis International decided by delegates will be conducted by secure electronics voting, thereby giving an equal voice to all Kiwanis clubs (worldwide). This also sounds familiar. This would mean that Kiwanians would not have to attend an International Convention to vote in the House of Delegates for Officers and Amendments, dues increases etc. The KIB opposes this amendment as I do. Submitted by the Capital District Board. 7. Tiered dues – Purpose: To base tiered dues on a percentage of the gross national income of the U.S. In 2013 the U.S. gross national income was $53,750. Currently the Tiers are based on the U.S. per capita amounts. Tier A are countries with a per capita income of more than US$10,000 pays 100% of the dues ($52). Tier B countries with a per capita income of US$5,000 to US$9,999 pay 65% of the dues ($34). Tier C countries with a per capita income of US$4,999 or less pay 44%

Monday News page 3 of 3 Proposed amendments for the Int. Conv. Cont. 7th amendment cont. of the dues ($23). The KIB feels if Amendment #7 is approved Kiwanis International would lose $443,000 per year or 4.1% of the International budget. The KIB opposes this amendment. Some how the money would have to be replaced by dues increase or membership increases. Dues make up 84% of the International budget. Submitted by the Kiwanis club Avelgem-‐Land von Streuvels, Belgium. 8. Members who belong to more than one club -‐ Purpose: To provide that members who belong to more than one Kiwanis club shall only pay Kiwanis International and district dues to their primary club. This is presented by an Austria club and upon reading the changes to the bylaws it might not be so good, because if the club is in a different district a member would would still have to pay dues in each district. I feel it is wrong to have to pay International and District dues twice. According to Kiwanis International there are 1,161 members that belong to two Kiwanis clubs. If this were adopted Kiwanis International would lose $60,372 in dues collections per year. The Snowbirds might like this, I don’t know. To me a better proposal would be to pay only once to Kiwanis International and prorate the dues if the member is in a different district such as Ohio and Florida. Submitted by the Kiwanis club of Lentia, Austria. 9. Life membership status fee – Purpose: To provide a variable life membership status fee based on the member’s age. The current life membership cost is 15 times the annual dues which is $52 for a total of $780 a one time payment. The Council Grove club is proposing a flat fee of $400 at age 21 and reduced every ten years so a person of 80 years old would pay $250. A life membership may be given by a club to honor a member who most complies with the Objects of Kiwanis. In reading the financial impact statement, the loss to Kiwanis International would be $64,600 based on an average of 170 members receiving life membership status. Currently there are 4,014 life members. Submitted by the Kiwanis club of Council Grove, Kansas. 10. Foundations, charitable funds and other affiliated entities – Purpose: to clarify Kiwanis International’s authority regarding foundations and affiliated entities. The Kiwanis International Board favors Amendment #2 because they feel it addresses what is being presented in this amendment. It is also their feeling Amendment #2 is better because it was written in legal terminology, drafted by an attorney. I suppose that a justifiable reason to defeat this amendment. Submitted by the Northwest Columbus Kiwanis Club Columbus, Ohio. 11. Delegate verification process for electronic balloting – Purpose: to add specific processes to the bylaw as regarding electronic balloting at Kiwanis International conventions. It is the I-‐Next club proposal to set rules in the bylaws for procedures of checks and balances to verify that the electronic ballot count agrees with delegates present. According to the Kiwanis International board this could create difficulty in voting and could result in the need to use paper ballots or totally prevent the voting all together. The International Board feels some of the proposed safeguards are already in place and thus there is no need to put them in the bylaws. I guess my thought is the KISS method. I believe last year convention used the electronic voting.
Jerry & Lesa Miller were at that convention and could give a little more incite on this method of voting. I am sure the results were received much quicker than the amount of time required to count paper ballots.

I did not intend for this issue of the Monday News to be sooo long and late in the week to send it to you. But I did get the deck sealed before the rains came and our grandson was available to help me. Now the grass is overgrown and I am tired. So to all a good night.
