(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bob Milbrodt for the information in this story.)
Last Monday, the Chelsea Kiwanis Club held an orientation session for new club members.
Topics included history of Kiwanis, (started in Detroit 1915, now in 88 countries), structure, (districts with governors, divisions with lieutenant governors within districts, clubs with presidents within divisions), but each club is unique, deciding how to help their community, especially its children.
A handout covering the 99-year history of Kiwanis in Chelsea was shared with members, as well as member responsibilities, (service projects, fundraisers, dues, etc.).
Cooperation was explained with Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs (Circle K in college, Key Club in high school, Builders Club in middle school, K Kids in elementary school, and Aktion Club, for those living with disabilities), and with affiliated groups (SRSLY, Boy Scouts, etc.).
