Club Newsletter Resources
If your Kiwanis club doesn’t publish a regular newsletter, it should.
Yes, a club newsletter can be a significant expense. But it’s an
investment that pays good dividends in member participation and satisfaction.
The effectiveness of a volunteer organization like Kiwanis depends on
communication. You simply can’t announce everything that’s
happening at each meeting, even if every member attended every meeting.
A good newsletter provides the same information to every member at the
same time, in a form that can be saved and consulted at any time.
The club newsletter also serves as a meeting reminder, a calendar of
coming events, and a announcer of club and board actions and plans. It
also serves as a permanent record of your club’s history and the
lives of its members. It provides Kiwanis education and increases member
satisfaction by recognizing individual contributions to the club’s
success.
The following items will assist the club newsletter editor in producing
an effective publication. Several club newsletter templates are included
on the Marketing/PR Resources CD available from the public relations department
of Kiwanis International.
