📻 The final Monday Membership Minute is here — and this one's a countdown. 💙

Fifty-two Mondays. Fifty-two conversations about membership, belonging, and why this mission matters. Here's what it all comes down to:

5️⃣ Consistency is the strategy. Show up.

4️⃣ People don't leave because they stop caring. They leave because the effort stops feeling worth it.

3️⃣ Your club is someone's third place. Act like it.

2️⃣ Your best membership prospects are already in your orbit. They just haven't been asked yet.

1️⃣ Give away your love. Without condition. Without keeping score.

That's it. That's fifty-two Mondays in five lines.

It has been the absolute honor to serve as your Governor. Thank you, Carolinas. For every share, every comment, every phone call from someone who let one of these messages mean something.

This isn't goodbye. Kiwanis doesn't work that way. I'll see you at the table. 💙

Now go give away your love.

10-4, Carolinas. 10-4 Good Buddy. 🚛

(Our earlier post was slightly glitchy)...here's the repost:

📻 Monday Membership Minute — and this week I'm asking a practical question.

When you look around your club, do you see your community? 💙

Not a perfect reflection — nobody expects that. But when you think about the people who actually live and work in your town — the retired teacher, the young professional, the small business owner, the newcomer down the street — are any of them at your table?

Here's the practical reality: a club with members from all walks of life has reach into every corner of the community. Different networks. Different connections. Different doors that can be opened.

That's a membership advantage. Plain and simple.

This week's challenge: think about who isn't at the table yet. Then make one specific move — one outreach, one invitation, one new relationship — to bring someone in who might not have found their way there otherwise.

Your community is made up of all kinds of people. Your club will be stronger for reflecting that. 💙

📻 Monday Membership Minute — and this week I'm asking the question nobody puts in the membership manual. 😄

Is your club fun?

Not forced-icebreaker fun. Actually fun. The kind where people linger after the meeting because they're not ready to leave. Where the drive home feels lighter than the drive there.

Here's the truth: people join organizations they respect. But they stay in organizations they enjoy. 💙

Fun isn't a distraction from the Kiwanis mission. It's what makes the mission sustainable. People volunteer for a cause they believe in — but they come back decade after decade for a community they love.

This week's challenge: take an honest look at your last few meetings. Did anyone laugh? Did people stay after — or bolt for the parking lot?

If the answer makes you a little uncomfortable — good. That's useful information. And fun is fixable. It starts with one great meeting where the people in the room matter more than the agenda.

That's the club people recruit for without being asked. 💙

📻 Monday Membership Minute — and this week it’s personal. 💙

Yesterday Jennifer and I attended the wedding of the daughter of our dear friend Lori — someone who came into our lives about ten years ago through our shared work in Kiwanis as CKI District Administrators.

Lori was in that role first. She showed me the ropes. And somewhere in the middle of that shared work, a friendship was born. We’ve both moved on to other Kiwanis responsibilities over the years, but this organization has a way of pulling people back together — most often at Kiwanis International Convention, where we seem to find each other every year.

Yesterday that friendship brought us to a wedding in Michigan. 💒

That’s not a membership statistic. That’s a life.

The reason people stay in Kiwanis for decades isn’t usually the projects. It’s the people. The friendships built around a shared mission that become some of the most meaningful relationships in your life.

When you invite someone to join your club, you’re not just offering them a chance to serve. You’re offering them a community that shows up — at the milestone moments and the hard ones.

This week’s challenge: think about a friendship Kiwanis gave you. Then think about who in your life deserves that same gift — and hasn’t been invited yet. 💙

📻 Monday Membership Minute — and this one is for Dolly. 💙

We lost a legend last week. Dolly Parton passed away Tuesday in Nashville at 80 years old — and the world is a little less shiny.

But her legacy? That's as loud as ever.

Most people know Dolly for her music. Fewer know that in 1995, inspired by her father's inability to read, she started the Imagination Library — a program that has now delivered more than 300 million free books to children from birth to age five across five countries.

And across the Carolinas, Kiwanis clubs are among the local partners making that program possible in their communities. 📚

In her family's statement, they asked that donations in Dolly's memory go to the Imagination Library. That tells you everything about what mattered most to her. Not the awards. The children.

If your club isn't yet partnered with the Imagination Library — this week is the week to look into it. Visit imaginationlibrary.com to learn more.

Dolly gave away her love for eighty years without keeping score.

That's the Kiwanis way too. 💙

Rest easy, Dolly.

📻 Monday Membership Minute — fresh off District Convention in Greensboro. 💙

Two moments from this weekend I’ve been thinking about.

First — Greensboro Mayor Marikay Abuzuaiter, a proud member of the Greensboro Kiwanis Club, spoke about resilience. What it looks like when a community faces hard things and chooses, every time, to get back up. Sound familiar? It should. That's what healthy Kiwanis clubs do every single day.

Second — McKenzie O'Quinn and her husband Neal, members of the Kiwanis Club of Lee County, shared the story of Good and Glory — an organization born out of their daughter's pediatric cancer diagnosis. Good and Glory designs custom t-shirts for families facing life-altering pediatric diagnoses, telling their stories and directing proceeds back to the families who need it most. Check them out at goodandglory.co 🔗

McKenzie modeled what it looks like to take the hardest thing that ever happened to you and give it away in service of someone else.

That's resilience. That's Kiwanis.

And as I said in my farewell address this weekend — give away your love. The communities we serve are counting on the delivery. 🚛

10-4, Carolinas. What an honor this year has been. 💙
