| 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,
and Key Club International now offer an automatic linking service, which
features simple, Kiwanis-family addresses.
The Kiwanis Club of Anytown, Connecticut, for example, may have a Web
address such as: http://www.yippee.net/~branch/9089/Anytown/orgs/~kiwanis/ki.html.
Using Kiwanis International's automatic linking service, the Anytown
members could claim http://www.kiwanis.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 Builders
Club name.
- The switch from the kiwanis.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.keyclub.org
- Builders Club to www.buildersclub.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 International site.
- Addresses are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Kiwanis International reserves the right to update or change these
rules at any time.
