Interclub Awards

This District shall recognize clubs whose members participate in Interclubbing by awarding the
Inner, Middle, and Outer Circle Awards.

To qualify as an Interclub, the visiting club should inform the host club at least 48 hours in advance and receive confirmation that the host club will be
meeting at the stipulated time and place. If a club plans to reschedule the regular meeting time
and/or location to facilitate others to Interclub with them, the club board must approve such
action and notification should be made available. In addition to visits made to a host club’s
regular meeting time and place, club meetings hosted at the District Convention, Midyear
Conference, Councils, or actively participating in the host club’s service project (Does not include
fund raiser event) will qualify for an Interclub visit.

During Governor Alma Carson’s 2022-2023 Kiwanis Year the Interclub rules were changed to include Kiwanis Members attending Service Leadership Program Meetings and counting those visits as Interclub Meetings towards Kiwanis Club totals.
