CLUB UPDATE - Important:

As you know, Kiwanis Uptown determined it is in the clubs best interest to resign our charter and become a satellite group of a larger Charlotte area club. We are happy to report several clubs expressed interest in partnering with us.
We have been meeting and communicating with interested clubs including the Ballantyne, Central Charlotte and Mecklenburg clubs.

After a review of each proposal, a bit of lively discussion, and a majority vote, it was decided that we would become a satellite of the Kiwanis Club of Charlotte.
We are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to continuing to work with and support all of the area clubs under our new model.
Over the next few weeks, we will be working to transition into this new partnership. There are several opportunities to get involved and take leadership roles in this new structure, so if you are interested in taking on a bigger role in the success of Kiwanis Uptown, please let me know. You will also see additional communication from Jaclyn or myself over the next few weeks on our transition plan, membership renewal (yep, it is that time), and other details related to this change.

Thanks again for your support during this process. Were looking forward to another successful Kiwanis year!
If you have questions, please email Melissa Deere president@kiwanisuptown.org.
