This service is available to clubs, divisions, and districts in the Kiwanis family: Kiwanis, Kiwanis Junior, Circle K, Key Club, Builders Club, K-Kids and Aktion Club.

Is your club's Web address lengthy or complicated. Does your division's Web address change every year? Kiwanis International, Circle K International, Key Club International, etc. now offer an automatic linking service, which features simple, Kiwanis-family addresses.

The Aktion Club of Anytown, Connecticut, for example, may have a Web address such as: http://www.yippee.net/~branch/9089/Anyschool/orgs/~aktion/.

Using Kiwanis International's automatic linking service, the Anytown members could claim http://www.aktionclub.org/club/anytown/ as their club's Web address. The Kiwanis International service automatically will switch to the real, more complicated address.

The advantages include:

• The address is simple.
• The address includes the Kiwanis, Circle K, Key Club, or Aktion
  Club name.
• The switch from the aktion.org address to the real address is almost immediate and virtually unnoticeable.
• The address is permanent. Though a club or division may switch its host or the Internet Provider may change the real address, the Kiwanis International address will remain the same. There will be no need to reprint club or division stationary. (Clubs must advise Kiwanis International of address changes by filling out this on-line form.)
• An address can be assigned quickly. Kiwanis International will try to establish the automatic link within two business days of receiving a request.
• There is no charge. This is a service to Kiwanis-family clubs divisions, and districts, provided by Kiwanis International.

Rules are few:

• This is not a site-hosting service.
• The site must be a Kiwanis-family club, division, or district site (Kiwanis, Circle K, Kiwanis Junior, Key Club, Builders Club, Aktion Club, or K-Kids only).
• The site's home page must include a link to the respective International home page:
  • Kiwanis to www.kiwanis.org
  • Circle K to www.circlek.org
  • Key Club to www.aktion.org
  • Aktion Club to www.aktionclub.org
• The site must accord with the Guidelines for Kiwanis-family Web Sites as set out by the Kiwanis International Board.
• Subdirectories (/club/, /division/, /district/) will be part of the address to distinguish clubs, divisions, and districts and to help maintain the structural arrangement of the Kiwanis and Key Club International sites.
• Addresses are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Kiwanis International reserves the right to update or change these rules at any time.
