IN thesSreat k1waniS family. 49,
1T has been my privilege and,
pleasure to attend every charter pre-
s~entatlon in the district during the
last year. In every case the. neighbor-
ing clubs have attends ed in large num-
Ibers. demonstrating their earnest de-
sire to cooperate with the new club
In every way possible. In thes;case&sbf
the charter presentation to the kiHa-
mis- club of Bookings, s. Dn.,eieht@s1ey
the nine clubs in the state5weTe rep
resented. At Austin, MINI, seven
clubs sent delegations, one of which
came from aCros the line from Mason
City, lowe. 1 regret that time pre-
vents me from telling OF mere. for
there are many more of a similar ma
ture.t Is$z y:
q: Recommendation.
In viewaof the fact that I am not
a candidate for reelection there are
three recommendations that ! wash t..
make to the incoming governor and
his board OF trustees.
First, that a finance commiteeSSbe
appointed to work out a district bud
get. Previous to this time itthas been
impractical to have a budget, as we
did not have 4he figures for full year
which would enable US to even approx
innate the receipts and expenditures.
These igures can now be Obtained
from the t~reasurer's report. + would
suggest also that the budget be made
somewhat elastic for the ensuing year.
Second. h a the governor or his.
lieutenant governof>v visit every club IN;
the district at least once during their
term OF office and hold special meet.
n or an educational and inspira-
uonai nature. some OF our clubs are
&Teatly IN need OF this contact and all
or them Will benefit by these meet
lnsS. These officers should meet with
ne board OF directors of each club
n go oyer their problems with them.
n travelling expenses of the officers
to be paid by the district. providing
finances warrant: otherwise by the To-
cal clubs. 1t would not be a matter
OF much e to. the individual
club and the benefit will be worth
many times n cost. Gov. Pollock
ana 1t. Governor Ptckard recently
held a Joint meeting with the clubs Of
virginia. Hibbing and Chisholm at
virginia. The good effect Of this meet
Ing has been evidenced, by their in
Ease interest n activity.
Third, IT the district finances war
rant, the secretary should be author
ICED instructed to publish a
monthly bulletin. a copy of which
ehould be sent to every member in the
district: These can be sent to the local
secretaries with Instructions to en-
close them with their next weekly let
ter. The bulletin could contain news
items OF interest from the clubs in the
. 6i%Fr1ct: r~iesnhership of each club and
percentage OF attendance.sthus inspir-
ing attendance competition between
ali clubs and especially between those
neArfy. Also matters Of Importance
pertain.ng TO district and i~nternation-
al affairs. Such a bulletin properly
edlte6 Will give the. clubs of our dis
tr!ct a closer contact. a better knowl-
edge OF what all are doing and help
to hind them more closely together in
one great working unit in Kiwanis.
Respectfully submitted.
