ONE AND DONE. I am a huge sports fan. Oftentimes, sports teams
are in tournaments where they play one game, lose, and then they are
done.
Kiwanis
International President Dave Curry exhorted the District Governors
by reminding us that we only have one year to make an impact. It’s
not about my year or your year, his year or her year, but it is only
ONE year. What will our legacy be? As a leader, I will be one and
done. If you are a leader in our organization, so will you. ONE
AND DONE!! The first month of Kiwanis is over. Over eight
percent of the year is gone. What did your club accomplish? Did you
do something new and different or were you just treading water?
Don’t forget….You are going to be
ONE AND DONE.
In this month’s
message, I have only a couple of areas of accomplishment upon which
I want to focus:
1. I want this to
be the year when we prove we can make substantial growth in the
Florida District. All clubs are asked to have a special membership
drive. I will be pushing you to tell me when you are going to hold
yours. I need club members to take the initiative and grow your
club. You can be an officer, but you do not have to be. I like the
concept of the membership guest day or roundup because, if you
conduct it correctly, you can be ONE AND DONE. This single
event will create enough new energy, new enthusiasm, and new ideas
to carry your club for the year. Let’s get it scheduled.
2. I want to
continue our momentum in the Service Leadership Programs. These
clubs and programs are the future of our organization. We are
leading Kiwanis world in these areas. Let’s keep it up. Let’s build
a K-Family Club in every school in the District.
Don’t forget
ONE AND DONE. That’s where I’ll be in September, 2008. Come join
me, but I am going to be in the winner’s bracket. How about you? |
