CLE (Club Leadership Education)
Division 1-South
Saturday, July 18th  ~  8:30 am-1 pm
Defiance Regional Medical Center
(1200 N Ralston, Defiance)
in the Tiffin Room downstairs.  

Hello fellow Kiwanians.
 
I know I have visited almost every club this month, but I just wanted to remind you about our upcoming CLE.  It will be held on Saturday, July 18th,

The cost for this will be very inexpensive (we are working on exact amount-will be $5 or less).  We will have coffee and donuts for the morning.  If you would like, you may purchase lunch from the cafeteria in the hospital (which is very reasonably priced for the food).  

Although CLE is especially meant for incoming presidents and secretaries, I highly encourage all officers or anybody who is interested in becoming an officer in the future to attend as well.  

Don't forget that to achieve distinguished club status, you can earn 20 points for your pres/sec both attending. 
 
The event will be facilitated by past governors Cindy Champer and Tom Crawford.  If you are planning on attending or have members of your club who are attending, please RSVP to me at brinercd@hotmail.com by July 14th.
 
For the incoming officers, I look forward to working with all of you throughout the next year!

Cory Briner
Lt. Governor-Elect

Our Division Goals:

SERVE OUR COMMUNITY STRONGLY - We will continue to provide our service to the community through our many service projects.  Our members will show up in strong numbers at each of the projects.

MEET WITH A PURPOSE - Each meeting will be beneficial to our members as well as to our community.  Our meetings will be used as a platform to draw our members closer, share with the community and learn along the way.

SHARE AS A FAMILY - We will support our Kiwanis family at the Division, District and International levels.  Also, we will support our K-Kids, Key Club, Circle K and other clubs in our area.  And most important, we will be there for those families that have a member of their family in Kiwanis. 

RECOGNIZE THE DESERVING - Throughout the year, we bestow the deserving honors upon our club members which they have duly earned in Kiwanis service.

Inspirational Thought for the Day:
     “Young children believe that most everything is possible!  
     Until someone convinces them otherwise, or until they become jaded through failures or disappointments, the world is a wide-open place filled with delightful possibilities.  They can imagine flowers that talk and spaceships that shrink down small enough to fit under their bed.  Nothing is off limits.  
     To reconnect with that open sense of possibility is one of the most powerful benefits of heightening your natural gift of curiosity.
     Making it a practice to think like this, at least a few times each day, can trigger countless ideas of personal innovation."

(Canterucci, 2005, p.86)
