RESOURCES

Aktion Club Advisors & District Administrators

Thank you so much for volunteering to be a leader for our Aktion Club members. As leaders in Aktion Club, you will need to have resources at your finger tips. In this section you will find helpful reports, guides, calendars and documents.

Reports
Service Leadership Club Reports are useful tools to keep track of club membership, club status (active, inactive, etc.) and new club charters. Reports are updated every Wednesday afternoon.

Guides

Member Handbooks
The Aktion Club Member Handbook is useful for members to guide them throughout the Aktion Club year.

Club Recognition
Review contest and award opportunities for Aktion Club members and clubs.

Club Building & Member Recruitment
Use this fillable member recruitment flier to share club meeting information with prospective club members.

Membership Update Center (Yearly Renewal)
The Membership Update Center is where you can can update your club information, roster, and print your dues invoice. Member dues should be received by November 1 to receive the Early Bird Patch.

In addition, monthly reports should be completed on the Membership Update Center beginning October 1. This monthly report will replace the quarterly reports that clubs have completed in the past. It will allow clubs to track club activities, service hours, fundraisers, and other important information in an easy format. Either the Kiwanis advisor or the facility advisor can complete their club’s monthly report. Each district administrator will also have access to the completed reports of the clubs in their district.

District Administrator Reimbursement Requests
District administrators earn $100 in reimbursement funds for each new club chartered in the current administrative year. Reimbursement requests must be submitted by September 30 of the current year and include receipts of expenses associated with Aktion Club. This may include mileage, hotel expenses, airfare, etc.that was incurred while performing Aktion Club business. Review this report to see the number of newly chartered clubs and calculate funds available to apply toward reimbursement. Use this form to submit expenses for reimbursement.
