Clubs benefit from forums’ focus

With topics ranging from “How to Kill Your Club” to “Photography: Taking Photos that Pack a Punch!” there’s no question you’ll come away from San Antonio’s “Forums with a Focus” enlightened, educated, entertained, and chockfull of new ideas. But did you know the true beneficiaries of your attendance are your club and, ultimately, the children your club serves?

The lineup of forum and workshop topics for the 2007 Kiwanis International Convention is better than ever. Subject matter is varied and hits everything from club administration to marketing to service projects, membership recruitment, liability, and more. But the focus is singular: All topics lead to better clubs, better membership experiences, and better service.

Visit www.kiwanis.org/convention/ for a complete list of forum topics, dates, and times. Check out the array of forum offerings, and, if need be, team up with a conventioning friend who can attend topics you might miss.
