HOW to REACTIVATE a CLUB 1) Types of suspended clubs: a. Suspended, Inactive b. Suspended, Charter Revoked 2) Suspended, simply pay dues before September 30th 3) It is important that clubs send in money as soon as possible so they do not have to go through the process of reactivation.
4) If not paid by Sept. 30th, pay current year dues and an additional $100 5) Call the International Office for specific information on how to complete this step. KCI will alsolet them know if it has been too long and their charter is Revoked. KCI only would have this information since they handle this part of it.
Speak with sponsoring Kiwanis Clubs to schedule visitation and create an action plan Encourage students and teachers at clubs to take the initiative Once a club is reactivated, MAKE SURE THEY STAY ACTIVE!
