*2.      **I updated the divisional website to reflect some upcoming events!
Please check it out here: *http://www.battlefield.cdcki.org/*  Click on
Events on the left-hand side.  Please let me know if you have any events or
suggestions!! *

* *

*3.      **The 2008-2009 District Goals: *

* *

*1.                  **To obtain a minimum of a 5% increase in membership of
the April 1st 2008 numbers by March 31, 2009.  *

* *

*2.                  **To obtain an average of 30 CKI service hours per
member from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. *

* *

*3.                  **To build a playground in the Capital District by
March 31, 2009 as part of a campaign to promote the 2008-9 District
Project—"Shaping Up":  A focus on Health & Physical Fitness Awareness. *

* *

*4.      **The District Project is "Shaping Up":  A Focus on Health &
Physical Fitness Awareness.  This project encompasses a wide variety of
activities, including field days and awareness seminars/workshops, and will
also result in the construction of a playground somewhere in the Capital
District!!  If you're interested in helping make this happen, I encourage
you to join the service committee!  Contact our district service chair Cal
Burton at *service at cdcki.org*. *

* *

*5.      **For those who didn't receive it, I attached a CKI benefits form.
So this form asks you to list places that you, as a CKI member, would like
to see some kind of benefit from (which is on the second page).  For
example, I, as a lover of Starbucks, would like maybe a 5-10% discount on
every purchase for being a CKI member.  So I'd fill in that information on
the back.  Or maybe for every 10 purchases, I get one free.  Please fill out
this form and return it to *ckimdb at gmail.com*.  Don't worry about the date.
*

* *

*6.      **Thank you to everyone who participated in Strike Out ALS by
either attending or voting for it on Razoo.  They did win the **$1000 speed
granting award, and so this was a very successful event!  *

* *

*7.      **LSSP & ICON** **are August 2nd-6th and 6th-9th, respectively.  If
you are interested, need to register, or want more information, go
*here<http://www.cdcki.org/events/ICON_main.htm>
*.  Our awesome OTIC chair Sneha Bhat has arranged to get us great packaged
deals!  I know cost may seem extremely high to some, and so I encourage
clubs to fundraise as much as they can in the coming weeks and to try using
the "thirds" system:  *

* *

*One third of the cost provided by your club/school.*

*One third to be fundraised/provided by your personal self. *

*One third can be requested from your sponsoring Kiwanis club.  *

* *

*Both LSSP and ICON are great experiences, and I promise anyone who goes
that it will be something you never forget!  *

* *

*Thanks again everyone!!  If you have any comments or suggestions, please
let me know!*

* *

*Yours, *

*Brian*
