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 Please know that it is no longer updated and is just a resource for items that have not moved to KiwanisOne yet.

Have you received your copy of the Kiwanis E-zine?  This is the new on-line news sent to each Kiwanian for which Kiwanis International has your email.  Check it out at http://www.kiwanis.org/magazine/ Subscribe here.

 

Have you been reading the Kiwanis Inciter Marketing Newsletter?  It gives really good ideas on improving your public relations image to the public.  Another really good feature is advance notice of important events and special weeks coming up in the next several months to assist program directors in scheduling timely speakers and to assist presidents in scheduling special club projects.
