  1. Club Satellites & 3-2-1 Clubs

  2. CLUB SATELLITES A Club Satellite is an extension of your club that meets at another time and often operates independently. Club satellites often help clubs expand into a new area or demographic-particularly if the group isn't large enough to become it's own club.

  3. HOW IT WORKS: • Both groups establish the guidelines of the relationship. • The host club's board authorizes service and fundraising activities, and maintains financial oversight. • By retaining affiliation with the parent club, members of a satellite remain focused on service rather than administrative concerns-making it a great option for busy lifestyles. • Since they are still part of the host club, club satellite members enjoy the benefits of Kiwanis, including elected positions, attendance at conventions, Kiwanis magazine and insurance coverage.

  4. EXAMPLE You have a small group of neighbors a number of miles away from your home club, that want to perform service in their area. They are very busy and can not meet when your club has regular meetings. You can offer them to become a CLUB SATELLITE (they join as members of your club) but they meet and work on projects they choose. They may work on projects with the main group or not as time permits. In time they may reach a size of 15 members or more, at that time they can consider petitioning for its own charter. This is a great way to grow Kiwanis

  5. Responsibilities of the Host Kiwanis Club to the Club Satellite • Share information about orientation • Offer continued education • Encourage members to participate in host club and district activities • Develop a membership retention and growth plan • Support club satellite activities • Process membership applications

  6. Can a Club Satellite sponsor a Service Leadership Program Club? Often a Service Leadership Program is the reason for developing the club satellite. The offical sponsor of the program would be the host Kiwanis club, and the club satellite would be the committee to oversee and direct support for the program.

  7. How do we get a Club Satellite off the ground? It's easy. The members who wish to form the club satellite simply become members of your club and begin working together as a satellite. Dues and fees for satellite members are exactly the same as costs to members of the host Kiwanis Club-with the possible exception of meal expense.

  8. 3-2-1 Kiwanis Club Inspired by feedback from current and past members, this club type reflects a desire to meet less and do more. A 3-2-1 club represents three hours of service, two hours of social activity, and a one hour meeting each month.

  9. How it works • A 3-2-1 club meets for about three hours each month to conduct service projects, two hours each month for a social activity and one hour each month for club business. • The monthly one-hour meeting takes the form that club members deem appropriate to the club's needs. It may be a traditional Kiwanis club meting. It may be more like a board meeting. Orit could be a meeting in which members organize club activities and service projects for the following month. The meeting will be what-ever its members need it to be.

  10. How it works • 3-2-1 club operations work the same way as a traditional Kiwanis club. Each 3-2-1 club organizes, charters and pay dues just as any other club does. • No special permission is required. The current Kiwanis bylaws apply to 3-2-1 clubs. The polices and procedures that define a club meeting include service projects, social activities, official meetings and other gatherings.

  11. Example • Your club meets to help a food pantry, give out school supplies, clean up part of the neighborhood or run a Bike Safety Rodeo. That is service. • Your club meets at someone house, or other place for a social gathering (maybe some planning also). • Your club holds one meeting a month for club business.

  12. Can a 3-2-1 club sponsor a Service Leadership Program Club? Yes! In fact, a club format that emphasizes service projects and community activity is well suited to SLP sponsorship. After all, sponsorship is one of the best ways for any Kiwanis club to connect tot he community.

  13. How do we get a 3-2-1 club started? Kiwanis International's resources make it simple to start a new Kiwanis Club-and they apply to 3-2-1 clubs as well. In fact, you have access to online resources, including a downloadable quick-start quide and “7 steps to opening a new club.” Just go to www.KiwanisOne.org/build

  14. How can an existing Kiwanis Club become a 3-2-1 club? The 3-2-1 club complies with Kiwanis International bylaws, policies and procedures. The club should thoroughly discuss the new format among members first, followed by a vote on whether to change. No special permission is required, and you don't need to submit new bylaws. However, please notify Kiwanis, your district and your Lieutenant governor of the change.

  15. Other Kiwanis Clubs Classic Kiwanis clubs: The traditional club found in most communities today, the “classic” type fits many communities and can be adapted to diverse groups, corporations or specific professional societies. Including Satellite Clubs. Internet-based clubs: Offering flexibility for those who travel often or cannot attend traditional meetings, Internet-based clubs operate in much the same way as classic clubs. However, meetings are generally held in chat rooms, and officers use technology extensively to keep members informed and connected. Company-based clubs: Comprised of employees of a large company or organization (e.g., a hospital campus) a company-based club provides a convenient time and meeting location—making employees more inclined to join and participate. Young professionals clubs: These clubs meet the needs of younger members with busy lifestyles, generally offering more flexible meeting schedules and hands-on service projects. In addition, young professionals clubs conduct social activities for members and families, and they use technology in club operations and administration.

  16. Types of Kiwanis Clubs 3-2-1 club: Inspired by feedback from current and past members, this club type reflects a desire to meet less and do more. A 3-2-1 club represents three hours of service, two hours of social activity, and a one hour meeting each month. Golden K clubs: These clubs focus on service and fellowship opportunities that are suited to the interests and needs of retired people. Service projects, social events and fundraising events are geared toward specific interests of the club members. Meetings are generally scheduled mid-morning, without a main meal. Circle K International Alumni club: Former members of Circle K International, the Kiwanis-family service program for university students, often have a shared experience that fosters connection. A Circle K Alumni club can be organized in any community with a sufficient concentration of interested alumni. Club members maintain a connection with Circle K International, and they enjoy flexibility with regard to meetings, officer positions and club activities.
