Lucky recruiters win as new contest unfolds

You hold the key to membership growth! With the "1-2-3, You Hold the Key!" program, Kiwanians who recruit new members are recognized with a key lapel pin – a gold pin for recruiting three members, silver for two, bronze for one.

Those who recruit new members also will be entered in a random drawing for prizes to be awarded during the 2008 International Convention in Orlando, Florida. The prizes include:

• First place (2): a free trip to the 2009 Kiwanis International Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
• Second place (1): a day at the International Office in Indianapolis.
• Third place (1): Kiwanis International life membership.
• Fourth place (40): a new-design club banner.
• Fifth place (25): US$100 gift card to the Kiwanis Family Store.
• Sixth place (50): US$25 gift card to the Kiwanis Family Store.
  

Since the program's inception in 2005, 3,960 Kiwanians have recruited 7,169 new members. The new campaign began July 1 and runs through June 1, 2008. Last year’s official rules still apply.
