SPECIAL ISSUES CONFERENCE 2000 IN PANHANDLE ISSUE...
Welcome to Issues 2000 in the Florida in the Beautiful Panhandle Division!
My Fellow Circle K'ers, I have taken this opportunity to write you to welcome you to the most exciting Issues Conference in the history of Circle K. Also, I would like to also extend my most warmest welcome to you. Perhaps this is your first time in my Panhandle Division. Perhaps you're thinking, is this still Florida. Sandestin Resort is one of the best resorts in the beautiful beaches of the Florida Panhandle. These emerald green waters will inspire you to "Face the Issues". would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy and productive Summer, 2000. We the Panhandle Division have many challenges to meet. We are a Division that was "withering in the vines", but now we are headed for Greatness. The Panhandle Division shall soar like an Eagle Again! I am proud to say that I've had the wonderful opportunity to meet many of you thoughout this Great Division. I am excited about what we can do between Now and the Fall. As many of you already know, the Florida District Board voted unanimously to hold the Florida District Issues Conference in the Panhandle in Beautiful Sandestin, Florida at the Sandestin Beach and Golf Resort. The Historic Conference, the first of its kind in the Florida Panhandle, will be held November 3-5, 2000. So mark your calendars now! My goal is 300 members in attendance! I want to show the Florida District what the Panhandle is made out of! Let us show the Florida District that the Panhandle is worth our Salt. Together we can make this Issues Conference a total success and make the Florida District proud of their vote to bring us the first Convention in the 42 year history of Circle K and perhaps bring us another convention!
My Fellow Panhandle, my goal is for the Panhandle to come into the Issues Conference 2000 with atleast six (6) Clubs. One new Charter- University of West Florida, FAMU back to Charter strength, FSU to 50 members and just about ready to charter at North Florida Community College, Chipola Community College, Gulf Coast Community College, Tallahassee Community College and Pensacola Junior College. I would love for you'all to come up and make the announcement at Issues that you're ready for a Charter. Remember 20 is the minimum but 50 to 100 is ideal!!!
UWF Charter, bring FAMU to Charter strength, and perhaps Charter five other clubs in the Panhandle. My targets are; Tallahassee Com- munity College (where this past Saturday we put up 110 +/- flyers trying to recruit a leadership team) Ockaloosa-Walton Community College at Niceville, FL(where we shall strike on April 1 during the Kiwanis Zone Rally) North Florida Com- munity College (which I have tentatively scheduled for the April 15th weekend) GulfCoastCommunityCollege at Panama City, and Pensacola Junior Community College, (which Pen- sacola Downtown Kiwanis has an interest in helping charter) and Chipola Junior Community College at Marianna. The stakes are high, and I ask you to help set the Agenda. "The Panhandle Shall Rise Again and Soar Like an Eagle!" Catch the CKI Fever Today! Service- Leadership and Fellowship are the order of the Day in the Panhandle! Catch the CKI Fever! Tell a friend about CKI, Display your club logo and wear your pins!!! Together we shall make Panhandle No. 1.
