Initiated by 2023-24 KI-E President Josy Glatigny and his team of governors, the “Back to the Race” programme included a section on growth, focusing especially on younger members. Clubs which welcomed and integrated at least two members under the age of 40 in their clubs would be awarded the “NEO CLUB” label. During the 2023-24 Kiwanis year, 65 clubs in Europe did so!
5,000 Christmas bags filled with different kinds of sweets will be sent to needy children in Ukraine for their Christmas celebration on 7 January 2025.
It is with great pride and humility that I take on my role as KI-E President.
Our organization is made up of volunteers working for the greatest cause in the world – helping to improve the lives of children.
We’ve made a big impact on communities, nations and the world through our work over the decades, but to do the same in the future, we need more voices and more hands working for the well-being of the children in the world. We therefore need to expand our membership!
Let’s take up the challenge together! Various training sessions and activities will be organized throughout the year to help us strengthen our presence and welcome new members.
Check the calendar of events regularly to keep abreast of new activities.
REGISTER FOR THE SECOND EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY
As mentioned at the 57th European Convention, since at the latter the necessary quorum was not reached to vote on the new KI-E articles of association, as a Luxembourg A.S.B.L. we are legally obliged to organize a second Extraordinary General Assembly.
Time to invite friends, acquaintances, family members or colleagues to get to know the Kiwanis organisation and its members. Invite them to a charity/fundraising event, club meeting or event! And since a real-life example is worth more than a thousand words, be inspired by the following testimony:
“Some time ago, a distant cousin invited me to a meeting of his Kiwanis club; he told me about the good atmosphere that reigned there and some interesting and pleasant members to meet. As a young man entering the business world, I saw this as an opportunity for social affirmation and promotion in my role as a young manager. I took it up and soon became part of the club. I made friends and new acquaintances and was able to contribute to a number of social projects for the Children of the World. That invitation changed my life and I’d like to extend the same invitation to a distant cousin and improve his life in the process”.
Come and join us for this unique annual experience! You’ll have the opportunity to catch up with friends, make new friendships with other Kiwanis members, learn and exchange ideas at workshops and make your voice heard about the future of the organization in Europe.
Helping children in Ukraine is a European social project that is part of the “Back to the Race” program. Let’s unite our efforts and give ourselves the opportunity to help children in Ukraine!
Kiwanis International Trustee Vincent G. Salembier of Kooigem, West-Flanders, Belgium, died on Monday, October 30, 2023. He was 71.
A member of Kiwanis in the Belgium-Luxembourg District since 1989, Salembier was elected to the Kiwanis International Board of Trustees during the 2022 Kiwanis International Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and fellow Kiwanian, Vincent Salembier,” said Kiwanis International President Katrina Baranko. “Vincent was a champion for growing clubs in Europe and for making life better for children around the world.
“He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered for his passion and dedication to Kiwanis. Our thoughts are with his family and friends around the world.”
