Our Club, last Thursday, voted to strive to be a Model Club for the next five years.  As you probably already know, we are in a desperate battle to eliminate Maternal Neonatal Tetanus from around the world.  It is a terrible disease, killing a child about every 11 minutes in many 3d World countries.  What we voted on last Thursday was to pick up the challenge which Kiwanis Internatio
nal has laid upon us to eliminate MNT over the next 5 years.  This does not mean that every individuial needs to donate so much for the next five years, although you may want to do that, but it means that through individuals,fundraising, we shall achieve the goal that Kiwanis International has set upon our club.  Several individuals have personally donated from our club through the Zeller award.  Let me run some figures by you which International has figured for our club based on 29 members.  
We now have 31 members.  We were asked to help raise $21,550 based on 29 members, that comes to $750 per person X 29.  Our most recent amount that we have already donated is10,889.84.  That leaves $10,860.16 remaining to be paid over five years.  T
here are matching funds available in TX/OK District to match 20% of the remaining balance over 5 years.  That would leave $8,688.13, which comes to about $299.59 per person over five years or $24.97 per member per year.
