Governor's Visit to Div 1E - The new Governor for 2003-2004, B Wayne Sullivan, will visit Div 1E on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 at the Manchester-Coffee County Convention Center. This is the same place that we held our last Governor's visit. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending. We will have a Division Council meeting before the dinner. The Division Council meeting will begin at 5:00 p.m. and the dinner will begin at 6:00 p.m. All club presidents and secretaries are invited to the Division Council meeting, as well as all past Division 1E Lt. Govs.

Administrative Year End & Beginning - August is the beginning of the new school year. Be sure to contact school administration and sponsored youth advisors and get the new school year started right. This is also the last two months of our current Kiwanis administrative year. It is not too late to make your goals for the current year, or too soon to be making your plans for the coming year. If you have any questions about your club's current status towards being a Distinguished Club for 2002-2003, contact me.

Club Installations - I still have not heard from three clubs concerning your plans for installation of new officers for 2003-2004. Please contact me and get those dates set as soon as possible. I will also be setting dates to visit each club prior to the beginning of the new administrative year, October 1.

New Monthly Club Reporting Forms - The Official Monthly Report form for Kiwanis clubs has changed. The new report form was covered during the CLE training in July. If you failed to attend and have questions, give me a call (my email and phone # are listed below) or call the K-T District Adm. Secy., Carolyn Blair for help. Carolyn can be reached at the K-T District office at 859-422-2256. The new report form does not have duplicates.
