Message from the National President
Ernie Schade Reis

2008 - 2010

Happy New Year to all Kiwis,

The time for us to gather and “celebrate” with our Kiwi friends is quickly approaching as it is only a little over one hundred days until the 29th Biennial Convention to be held in Philadelphia on April 30 – May 2, 2010.  The Philadelphia Kiwi Chapter is hard at work preparing for our arrival.

The traditional Opening Luncheon will be held on Saturday, May 1st. The Delegates Meeting and Closing Banquet both take place on Sunday, May 2nd.  Philadelphia Kiwis have planned as your optional event a fun evening aboard the Moshulu which is the world’s oldest four-mast sailing vessel still afloat and is docked just a few steps away from the hotel on Friday, April 30th.  The theme of this party will have a Caribbean flavor and the cost is $35, which includes hors d’oeuvres (with a cash bar).  This will be a special time for us to visit with friends we have not seen for a while.  A lot of Kiwis are planning to come early to enjoy this event and to visit the many historical sites Philadelphia has to offer. 

Your individual Kiwi convention packet will be mailed by the American Airlines Federal Credit Union on January 4th.  We are extremely grateful for the support of the Credit Union as a corporate sponsor and for mailing these packets to all our members – plus they are donating the “welcome bags” each Kiwi will receive upon arrival in Philadelphia.  Please be certain to return your registration form no later than March 15th.  And, if you have not made your hotel reservations as yet, please do so by calling 1-800-233-1234 or 215-928-1234 as soon as possible.  The hotel cut-off date for reservations is April 1, 2010.  Cancellation penalties for hotel rooms will be assessed to canceling Kiwis after this date. 

In preparation for our convention, the National Board will hold its fourth Board meeting on January 13th and 14th.  Please submit to me any agenda items you would like considered at this meeting no later than January 4th.  Your Board will be reviewing many items including the Official Call to Convention, which will be mailed to all Chapter Presidents, Past National Presidents, and Candidates for national office on February 26th.  Chapter presidents will review with their members the information regarding proposed changes in the Club’s Bylaws and/or Standing Rules, as well as biographies of the candidates running for National office.

If you are considering running for a National office for the 2010-2012 term, please complete the Candidate Officer Form and mail to me, along with a black and white photo, by January 29th.  The form is available on this website under the Forms link.  Serving on the National Board and giving back to our organization is a very rewarding experience.

We look forward to a wonderful turnout for the convention and know you will enjoy the Hyatt Regency Hotel at Penn’s Landing in the Society Hill area of Philadelphia.  Come join in the fun and help us “celebrate” our club, its history, our charity works, and the legacy of The Kiwi Club.

See you in Philadelphia where . . . . . . . . . .

Have a Healthy and Happy New Year,

Ernie Schade Reis, National President
