The money for the contributions can be taken from either your service fund or administrative fund. Some clubs ask members to each give an extra $20.00 each in their dues. The MO-ARK District requests that you make all these donations in October, November, or December. By doing this during the first quarter of the Kiwanis year, you get it done and are less likely to forget it. Also, it makes the funds available early so the Foundations and Service Leadership organizations can plan wise use of the funds.
