His idea exploded around the world and nearly 6 million purple Complaint Free bracelets have been sent to people in over 105 countries.  Bowen has been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, The ABC Evening News, Fox News Channel, and in hundreds of TV and radio interviews. Stories about him and the movement he created have been written about in over 100 newspapers, People magazine, "O" magazine, and Chicken Soup for the Soul.  His first book, "A Complaint Free World," is an international best seller published in more than a dozen countries.  His second book, “Complaint Free Relationships,” will be published in October 2009.    RSVP Joe Vigliaturo, 816-916-2464 or 816-455-5878.

EXPLORE the new KIWANISONE website.  Question: What is the KiwanisOne portal?

Answer: Referred to as the "member portal," KiwanisOne is a set of resources grouped together to improve the member experience and make us more effective Kiwanians. Some of the resources are finished and available now; others are still under development.

IMPORTANT! If you cannot find something, the old Kiwanis site is still available. Please know that it is no longer updated and is just a resource for items that have not moved to KiwanisOne yet.
