SPECIAL D-CON INFORMATION

Delegates at the 2010 Kiwanis International Convention passed an amendment to the Kiwanis International Bylaws which require criminal history background checks for all incumbents and candidates for International Office and offices in direct line of succession to District Governor in order to assure the highest standards of leadership in Kiwanis.

Kiwanis International has provided criminal history background forms for the Jim Mann, the 2009-2010 Kentucky-Tennessee Governor-Elect and Don Ritter, the only announced candidate for the 2010-2011 Kentucky-Tennessee Governor-Elect to complete. Both have indicated that they have completed and returned these forms to Kiwanis International.

Glen Kleine, Governor of the KT District said, "Since the effective date of having competed the criminal history background check is October 1, 2010, it is recommended that any candidate that plans to have their name placed in nomination for the 2010-11 Kentucky-Tennessee Governor-Elect complete the criminal history background check process prior to their nomination at the 2010 K-T Clarksville Convention House of Delegates."

Saturday morning will provide an opportunity for us to honor our deceased K-T Kiwanians.  Please inform the K T Office of any members of your Kiwanis club that died within the past year. 

Saturday will also be reserved for presentations by our Service Leadership youth; we didn't want for them to miss school.

You will have an opportunity on Saturday morning to view the Kiwanis entries in the Cardboard Regatta.  I want to encourage clubs and divisions to construct and man their cardboard boats and cheer for the competitors.  To see an example for the Riverfest Regatta see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vchdb4kJ1Lc

We will conclude our Saturday sessions with the convening of the House of Delegates meeting.  Any club from Kentucky who wishes to propose that our 93rd Kentucky-Tennessan Convention meet in their city is encourage to come up with a specific proposal.

This will be an outstanding convention and a grand followup to the Kiwanis International Convention in Las Vegas.  All of you are encouraged to participate in both of these conventions to enrichen your Kiwanis life.

Sincerely,

Glen Kleine, Governor
Kentucky-Tennessee District
Kiwanis International
