Guides

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

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.
