Update from the Minnesota-Dakotas District:
Minnesota-Dakotas is staying strong as we enter the second half of the year. We have gained
membership and awareness of the Kiwanis family all across the district. At least three
Kiwanis clubs are interested in starting CKI clubs in their areas and we have found students
to work with these clubs at two of the three locations. We might be small but we are
growing larger!
In Mid-October we had our Fall Leadership Training Conference. The Halloween
Themed FLTC had over 50 members in attendance total which is higher than it has been in
the past couple years. We helped out
for a couple hours at Kiwanis Holiday
Lights, had workshops to help
members learn more about the
organization, and ended Saturday
night with a bonfire and member
made haunted house. A great end to
an amazing weekend.
In the Dakota Stars at South Dakota
School of Mines and Technology not
only did 9 members go to FLTC, but
we also had many help out with this
year's Trick or Treat for Canned Goods, an event to help collect canned goods and donate
them to Feeding South Dakota. We raised just under 1000 pounds of food this year!!
In Rolling Plains a new club is on the horizons! Interes t at MSUM and with the local
Kiwanis will hopefully have us with a new club by the end of the year. Also one of Rolling
Plains clubs had the highest Service Hours of the Month!! Congratulations Concordia!!
North Stars had a lot of fun things going on this past month with FLTC being hosted in
Mankato and another possible new club at UofM Duluth. A couple clubs are helping out at
Kiwanis Holiday Lights throughout this month and next to show our support. This is a great
way to meet new Kiwanians and show them that Circle K is there to help in any way
possible.
Minnesota Dakotas District has done a lot in the past month and we are excited to keep the
fun and fellowship up while we prepare for District Convention!
