1995 - 1996

November 26, 1996 President's Report

The 1995-96 Kiwanis Club of Ottawa year was a year filled with accomplishments, growth and satisfaction.

We began the year by conducting a survey within our Club, thanks to Peter Andrews and his company "In Touch Survey Systems Inc.", to detennine the insights about our members' expectations and their respective needs. As a direct result of this survey, your Board of Directors has addressed the issues and the new challenges that confront us in the mid-90's. One the one hand, some changes have been realized, whereas in other areas, you requested that we maintain our Club's tremendous heritage and sense of tradition by staying with the status quo.

Some highlights and observations for 1995-96 include:

Introduced 25 new members, for a year end Club membership of 251. Net increase plus 3.

Created two new standing committees: Hands-On Committee Education and Historical Committee

Simplified our Club Financial statements.

Chartered a new Key Club at Sir Robert Borden High School, bringing our Key Club total to 4.

------_._------Annual General Meeting - 1995-96 December 8, 1995 ---_ .. ------President David Fair declared this to be the Annual General Meeting of the Club, notice of which was given in the Bulletin of November 20, 1995 and advised that Tom Moore would act as official Parliamentarian for this meeting. He then called on Past President Wayne Beaudoin to preside over this portion of the meeting.

Past President Wayne Beaudoin asked all to rise and observe a moment's silence in memory of the late Chummy Watt who passed away during the past year.

Past President Wayne Beaudoin called for a motion to adopt the report of the Standing Committees. MOVED by Bron Vasich and SECONDED by George Perrin that the committee reports be adopted. CARRIED

MOVED by Bob Vergette and SECONDED by Michel Podeszfinski that the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the club held on February 3, 1995, be approved. CARRIED Past President Wayne Beaudoin called on Ian Hendry to present the Auditor's Report. MOVED by Ian Hendry, SECONDED by Peter Andrews that the Auditor's Report be adopted. CARRIED

Ian Hendry explained that the presentation of the Financial Statements was changed slightly by Peat Marwick Thorne to correctly reflect the affairs of the club. The General Account and Community Services Account (previously named the Welfare Account) have been combined for reporting purposes only. Separate bank accounts and separate accounting records are still maintained.

MOVED by Ian Hendry, SECONDED by Ted Horton that the Balance Sheet as at September 30,1995, be adopted. CARRIED

Ian Hendry asked Rita Harper to explain the reasons for the expenses over budget on the "Printing, Stationery and Office Expenses" and the "Program Committee" as was asked by the membership. Rita explained that a new coat closet and new chairs were purchased for the office, costs to relocate the telephones when we moved, repair costs after a power surge, increased costs of photocopying because of Lottery Calendar lists, and the 1994 and 1995 letterhead printing costs being expended in the same year, was the reason for the overage in the Stationery and Office Expenses account. As well, Chateau Laurier will only supply 3 microphones at no cost therefore any audio or visual equipment used for guest speakers will have substantial costs to our Program Committee account.

MOVED by Ian Hendry, SECONDED by Larry Haffner, that the Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Members' Surplus for the year ended September 30, 1995, be approved and that this meeting ratify the expenditures over budget under the headings: "Annual Audit", "Membership", "Postage", "Printing, Stationery and Office Expense", "Program Committee", "Rent, Taxes and Parking", "Roster" "Salaries" and "District and International Conventions" CARRIED

Past President Wayne Beaudoin turned the meeting back to President David Fair.

President David called on Honorary Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, Sandra Lee to present the Proposed Budget for the year 1995-96

Sandra Lee explained that the Financial Statement format has been revised with approval of the Board of Directors, for ease of understanding and presentation. The Combined Statement of Revenue and Expenses as well as the Fundraising Activities Statement more clearly present the proposed Budget with comparative figures for 1993-94 and 1994-95 of fundraising revenues and expenses.

MOVED by Sandra Lee, SECONDED by Tom Williams that the Budget for the year 1995-96 be adopted as presented. CARRIED

Approval for an increase was given for 1995-96 however the Board has recently agreed to freeze our Annual Membership Dues for this fiscal year. CARRIED

MOVED by Sandra Lee, SECONDED by Michael Morling, that the Proposed Budget for the Air Cadets Committee be accepted as presented. CARRIED

Tom Williams congratulated the Treasurer on the excellent revised format of the Budgets and suggested we continue to use the same format for our Financial Statements for next year.

NEW BUSINESS Membership Survey - President David indicated the President-Elect Ron Wing would be Chairing a Sub-Committee comprised of Peter Andrews, Past President Alan Smith, John Callan and Steve Creighton. Club members are to contact any member of the Board of Directors or the Survey Committee if they have any questions or recommendations. President David called on Peter Andrews to speak on the results of the Membership Survey.

Peter Andrews reviewed the results of the Survey as prepared by his company, In Touch Survey Systems, Inc. He indicated that the Board of Directors will be looking further at some of the responses to ensure the needs of the members are met.

President David thanked Peter on behalf of the member of the club for his personal efforts to complete this Survey. President David indicated the results are available to all members and a follow up will be done by the Board of Directors for any outstanding questions of the members.

Past President Alan Smith suggested the Night at the Races was perhaps not the best fundraiser for the Medical Foundation and that it may be time to look at a new fundraiser.

Past President Alan Smith questioned the return we are getting from the Duck Race for Tiny Hearts at CHEO. He indicated that we should address leaving a fundraiser once it is up and running.

Bob French explained that the Financial Statements this year do not reflect all the funds collected for the Duck Race but only the portion of Revenue and Expenses that passed through our Club. He explained that 4% of the gross revenue from the Duck Race is given to our club to cover administration costs. This amount is reflected on the Revenue side of the Statements as "Recovery of administration costs - Duck Race".

Bob also explained that the contract with CHEO Foundation states that the 1st $300,000 of net proceeds go to CHEO, the next $60,000 to Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and any excess would be split 50/50.

Bob indicated that we must look at the combined revenue of both the Dream of a Lifetime and the Duck Race for Tiny Hearts as both are taken into consideration. Bob indicated that a new contract was formed with CHEO for the Dream of a Lifetime which guarantees us proceeds from 800 tickets sold for $100 each and the car cost is capped at $49,000 guaranteeing our Club net proceeds of $31,000.

Page 4 Annual General Meeting - 1995-96 December 8, 1995 ------Gilles Langlois indicated that the Interclub attendance by 500k of the Membership on the Survey does not seem to be realistic. He feels most of the Interclubs are attended by the Interclub Committee.

Gilles Langlois stated that the Interclub Committee would welcome suggestions from the members for new social events. It seems the Sock Hop and the skiing events do not get a good turnout.

Gilles Langlois questioned the TV Auction event. He stated that donated items do not seem to get as good a return as anticipated. Steve Georgopoulos explained that this is a transition year and the TV Auction Committee is looking at a new venue.

Mike Lundy was pleased to see that according to the Membership Survey, 83°k of members are involved in selling Lottery Calendars. He would like to see 93% involved for the upcoming year. President David indicated that more members need to be involved with the selling of Calendars to make this fundraiser profitable and asked the members to take more calendars to sell this year.

President David then presented his President's Rose to Past President Wayne Beaudoin and thanked him, on behalf of the membership, for his accomplishments in the past year.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned on motion of Past President Allan Castledine

ELECTION PROCESS REVIEW COMMITTEE

Members: Wayne Beaudoin Chair December 3, 1996 Bob French Larry Haffner David Costford Alan Smith Chris Thompson

The Committee received no suggestions from the membership at large, so we reviewed comments that had been heard in the past and raised by different members of the Committee. Comments raised by John Callan in his document re: the constitution was the source of most discussion. I will use those comments as the guide for the report.

Issues: a) "There should not be acclamations for positions of the President-elect and Vice- President". The current constitution of the Club allows for regular elections to these positions should the willing candidates wish to create an election. The experience for most of the resent years is that the candidates have not wanted an election for the executive positions. b) "Anyone unwilling to stand for election should be able to withdraw their names from the ballot". The thought here is that there are ballots "wasted" on those who are unwilling to run. The fact is that on the final ballot there are no wasted votes. Everyone on that ballot has agreed to run. Allowing names to be withdrawn from the primary ballot causes some difficulties.

It could be a source of real embarrassment if it was learned that a large percentage of the club did not want to seek office.

The preliminary ballot could cause someone, who did not originally feel they wanted to take the challenge, to decide to do so.

The preliminary ballot is a way of the membership to recognize someone for having made a real contribution to the club, but who for whatever reason did not want to seek election. c) "Kiwanians who are not in good standing should have their name stay on the ballot to prevent embarrassment". This was precisely the reason the constitution was changed. It encourages delinquent members to pay up. We are not throwing them out of the club, just taking away the privilege of being on the ballot and voting.

Page 6 Page 2

d) "People could indicate on the preliminary ballot their willingness to stand only for certain positions". This is really covered in item a) plus it would destroy the whole administrative process of ballot counting and valuation.

e) "Should have only 2-3-4 year term to set as a director". This situation normally -.. takes care of itself throughout the balloting process. In addition, this rule would have knocked out people who have eventually moved on to serve as presidents.

Recommendations

a) That at least 2 or possibly 3 members at large be nominated at the A.G.M. to participate with the Past Presidents in the election process including the actual ballot counting. This would help address the "back room manipulating" rumours and help create an understanding of the process.

b) At the Friday luncheon prior to the mailing of the primary ballot, a brief, lucid explanation of the election process be made.

c) That this report be included in the annual report of committees presented to the membership prior to the A.G.M.

d) That the Past Presidents call the new members and explain the election process to them.

General

It was felt that in general, our election process has served the club well for many years and "if it ain't broke don't fix it". The main problem is that many members don't understand it and how it works. The objective should be to do everything reasonably possible to explain it rather than change it to something more simplistic but potentially with different problems. We think the recommendations will go a long way to clarifying the process and resolving the issues.

REPORTS

1995 -96 211 AIR CADETS COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

This past year, for our 211 Air Cadet Squadron, was another interesting and rewarding one. We enjoyed the continuing service of Major Bryan Healey as squadron Commanding Officer, clearly the most significant factor in the Squadron's continuing success. The following points highlight the year's activities and achievements:

The one highlight which will characterize this year is the recruitment of almost 150 new cadets which took our squadron to record size, the largest in the region. In addition to record numbers coming in the door, we also achieved the highest retention ratio in recent years with a Squadron strength of more than 100 cadets at Annual Inspection.

We welcomed two new staff members to the squadron: June Humphries, a retired Major from the Administration Branch of the Air Force and Eric Young, retired Corps Sergeant-Major of the RCMP. After getting acquainted with the squadron, they will be assuming responsibilities as Administration Officer and Training Officer respectively. We are very pleased that these two capable officers have joined 211 Squadron. We also said good-bye to two of our staff: Captain Kim Jullen, our Supply Officer for many years and Lieutenant Rob Larose, our Music Officer, each decided it was time for a change and have left the squadron.

Circle of Excellence: Each year a number of Squadrons are awarded the Circle of Excellence in one of three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. Last year we were pleased to have been awarded the Silver level for the second year in a row. This year we were awarded the Gold level. This identified 211 Squadron as being in the top 15% of the approximately 100 Squadrons in Eastern Region.

Effective This year the Effective Speaking competition was moved from the annual Christmas dinner to its own evening. Held at the Kiwanian Alex Dayton Senior's Activity Centre, the participants were joined by parents, friends and staff. A difficult choice for the judges, the winner went on to capture first place a the Ottawa Valley Regional competition and then on to achieve second place in the Provincial competition held in St Jean sur Richelieu, Quebec.

Local Sports Activities: Cadets from our squadron shared and competed in a number of sports activities with cadets from other squadrons in the region. These involved the annual Olympiad, curling and skiing.

CommunitY Servjce: Our cadets participated in a number of community service activities including Battle of Britain and Remembrance Day parades with local Legions, Remembrance Day Luncheon with our Club and work at the T.V. Auction.

Annual InsPection: The culmination of the training year, cadets are turned out in their best dress uniform to demonstrate the drill and deportment they worked so hard to achieve. The inspection and marchpast is followed by active displays highlighting the various training activities: Jiu jitsu, band, drill team, aircrew survival and model aircraft to name but a few. Visitors are then shown displays of other areas of the training program such as rifle shooting, flying scholarship, radio and electronics and memorabilia. This year's event was the "best ever" according to those in attendance.

Page 9

------Summer Canms: We sent a record SO cadets to summer camp this year. Camps ranged from Basic through Flying scholarships. One of our senior cadets was invited to be an instructor at the Pipes & Drum Centre in the cadet music program at CFB Borden. Two of our cadets earned their wings with the passing of all requirements for the pilots licence. Annual Luncheon: This year's Annual Luncheon was, according to many long-time Kiwanians, one of the most successful in the history of the squadron. The band (brass, reed and pipes) won a standing ovation for its rendition of Amazing Grace and our Guest Speaker, Major (ret) Dec Brasseur, was outstanding as her message relevant to cadets and adults alike.

Committee ParticiPation: V cry Active, Strong and Hands-on! Committee members participated regularly. They attended Wednesday evening training sessions where they acted as instructors, coached cadets in "board" appearances, interacted with staff, oversaw selection meetings where cadets were selected for promotion, summer camps, awards and other honours. They assisted actively in the Effective Speaking Program, provided prizes for sports competitions and supervised fund raising activities. Bud,et: We maintained a balanced budget of $30,000 with the Squadron and Committee raising 40% of the $12,()()() themselves. Chair's I would like to thank President David Fair, Vice-President Marcia Sachs and Director Buck Madden for their support and guidance throughout the year. Also, I would like to thank each and every member of the Air Cadet Committee for their generous support and dedication throughout the year. Since joining this Committee, I have watched it grow in spirit, in capability, in dedication and in fun. It has to be the best Committee in the Oub! Additionally, I extend the thanks of the entire Committee and the Squadron to other:iGwanis members who readily and cheerfully pitched-in when we needed help. Respectfully Submitted,

Michael Morling, Chair Vice-Chair Val Berlis Vice-President Marcia Sachs Director Buck Madden Peggy Clark Aubrey de Young Red Emond Trish Horricks Paul Kane KcnMiller Steve Moore Gerry Myers Sandra Presley Mike St. Louis

Page 10 BENEFIT DINNER COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The 35th Annual Benefit Dinner was held May 8, 1996 at the Corel Centre. This year, the Committee decided to spend less money on entertainment, but our choice of local entertainers, Delmer and Cecil seemed to be very well received. We maintained ticket prices at $150.00 and sold approximately 315. We were able to arrange a full bar cocktail hour and a very nice dinner provided by the Palladium restaurant group. Our Silent Auction was very ably organized by Tom Beveridge and this year brought in $9,655.00. Our overall revenue was $58,678.10 and we were able to net $28,066.02.

Our M.C. for the evening was our own Ed Mulkins. Ed did a terrific job and greatly added to the evening. Our own Myrna Beattie very capably decorated the Corel Centre.

Most attendees seemed to very much enjoy the evening. It will continue to be a challenge for us to be able to successfully net substantial revenue for our club.

I would like to thank all members of the 1996 Benefit Dinner Committee for their outstanding efforts and cooperation.

Respectfully submitted,

Page 11 CHARITABLE GIFT PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT 1995-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The goals of this Committee for the 1995/96 Kiwanis year were to:

Achieve 12 donations with an aggregate value of $100,000. Educate members as to the gift opportunities possible through Planned Giving. Establish an administrative framework under which the program would operate. Solicit interest from the membership at large towards Planned Giving.

The activities for this Committee started early in the year with George Perrin delivering a short overview and example of the type of charitable gift possible for many Kiwanians. Interest from George's talk prompted the circulation of an infonnation piece of the example used.

Other gift planning information and advice was given to club members through the weekly educational spot and at the semi-annual business meeting in a brief Q&A exchange. In May, Robert Houle invited all Kiwanians to participate in a Chartered Life Underwriter's seminar on the subject and a letter from President David Fair was sent to everyone in February encouraging consideration be given to Kiwanis as the recipient of any member's planned gift

The Committee received moderate interest from club members through two questions inserted in our club's November 1995 survey.

Bill Siekierski's efforts as Vice-Co-Chair have moved us very close to finalizing the marketing framework needed by the Committee to attract and sustain donations from our membership, as well as, from our friends in the community.

We have clarified a number of administrative issues regarding the establishment of trusts and separate accounting systems thanks to Vice-Co-Chair Paul Kane. Paul has also worked on a brochure to continue the Committee's mandate to provide information and gain exposure for Charitable Planned Giving to the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. ·rr Thank you to all Committee members, including our Board of Director liaisons Wayne French and Ross McHardy, for your hard work and patience.

Page 12 DUCK RACE COMMITTEE REPORT - 1996-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The Ninth Annual Duck Race for Tiny Hearts at CHEO was a limited success. A cheque for $252,775 was presented to the Children's Hospital Foundation during the Children's Miracle Network Telethon on June 2, 1996. This brings the total amount raised from this event to $2,621,163. Ticket sales were 71,222, which represented a considerable drop from previous years, in spite of the fact that we added two new corporate ticket sellers. There appeared to be two major reasons for the decrease in sales; the inclement weather last spring (which affected both sellers and buyers) and economic conditions. .

A breakdown of Major ticket sellers is as follows, with 1995 totals in parentheses:

Kiwanis Clubs (Divisions 12 & 13) 27,297 (29,665) Shoppers' Drug Mart 8,062 (12,032) Carlingwood Seniors 6,883 (8,471) Royal Bank I Royal Trust 5,821 (12,436) MacEwen Petroleum (new) 4,584 Ottawa Fire Department 2,276 (2,864) ScotiaBank (new) 1,935 Canada Trust 1,884 (2,526) Bell Canada 1,808 (3,306) Several Kiwanis Clubs qualified for ticket sales bonuses:

Nepean - $3,000 for over 10,000 tickets sold Westboro - $1,000 for fmishing second with over 2,000 tickets sold Carleton, Sage, Orleans - $500 each for over 1,000 tickets sold Prizes worth over $96,000 were as follows:

1st prize 1996 Automobile, from the Capital Driving Force - Bytek Auto, Carling Motors, Dow Honda and Walkley Nissan - retail value $25,000 2nd prize 9 piece sold mahogany dining room suite by Gibbard Furniture - Orme' s Furniture - retail value $14,561

3rdprize U.S. Tennis Open getaway, including airfare, return Ottawa to New York, accommodation and tickets for two to the Corel WTA Tour Women's Tennis finals - Corel Corporation - retail value $13,000

4th prize Lady's andalusite and diamond hand-made ring - Alyea Jewellers - retail value - $11,350

5th prize 10,000 loonies - Royal Bank and Royal Bank Employees - retail value $10,000. 6th prize Airfare for two to Honolulu, Hawaii and airfare for two to any other destination, excluding North and South Pacific. - Canadian Airlines Int'l Ltd. - retail value $5,407

7th prize One year's groceries - Loeb Inc. - retail value - $5,000

Page 13 8th prize Leisure package at local hotels, restaurants, attractions and services - Ottawa Tourism and Convention Authority - retail value $S,OOO

9th - 18th prizes Ten $SOO gift certificates, redeemable for merchandise - Mark's Work Warehouse - retail value $S,OOO.

SYBASE MILLION DOLLAR DUCK: One duck, chosen at random by Auditors Ernst and Young, should it come in first, provides ticket holder with a $SO,OOO/year annuity for 20 years, as well as the fIrSt prize - Sybase Canada Ltd. - retail value $10,000.

If the duck does not fmish fast, the ticketholder will have a choice between a Pentium Personal Computer, retail value of$2,SOO or $1,000 cash - Digital Equipment of Canada. The Duck Race ticket launch was held in March, with Kiwanis members, corporate sponsors and ticket sellers and media representatives in attendance. It is worth noting that our three-year contract with Majic l00/Energy 1200 for exclusive radio sponsorship concluded with this race. While the Committee was pleased with the radio coverage, initial steps have already taken place to involve all radio stations in the 1997 race. Other media sponsors are CJOH-TV and the Ottawa Sun. .

All Corporate ticket sellers, prize donors, media sponsors and contributors have received a thank you letter from the Committee.

There have been discussions with the Children's Hospital Foundation concerning Kiwanis Cub of Ottawa involvement in upcoming years, the focus being the financial return to our club. However, the overwhelming feeling, from the membership and the Board of Directors, is that this is such a high profile event and the cause such a good one, that we should continue. As a result of our discussions, our club will receive $30,000 or 4% of the gross revenue, whichever is the greater, as an administration expense.

I would personally like to thank all Committee members, race-day volunteers and ticket sellers for their efforts. It has been an honour to serve as the Chairperson for 1995-96 and I would like to thank the Board of Directors for giving me this opportunity.

Page 14 EDUCATION IHISTORICAL COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 . ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Although we were the newest and one of the smallest committees in the Club, we not the less were able, thanks to the dedicated work of the Committee, to reach out in one or more ways to all members of the Club.

Derek Finley, one of our newest members, enthustically became involved in arranging several education tables at our Friday Luncheons.

Roll calls were reinstituted and co-ordinated by Shirley Tomblin. The roll calls proned to be popular with the members. "I'm a New Member" written by Shirley is now being given to every new member. The Three Wise Men (Wise Guys?), Harry Brown, Barry Weatherdon and Conrad Stoltz, all Past Presidents, brought their varied experience and played major roles in ensuring the success of the committee. Thanks, Harry, for hosting the fantastic Barbeque at your cottage.

Janet Dodds, the Vice-Chair, liased with the other committees in the club and ably assisted by Harry Brown, arranged for the committees to make two minute presentations at our Friday Luncheons. Chris Thompson, another new memnber, Ann Levencrown and David Daubney were all active and their involvement with the Committee was much appreicated. Thanks, also to Board Director Ed Healey for his involvement with the committee. ."

A major project was the scanning as the Club's annual reports and Board minutes. President David Fair provided the scanner, Shirley Tomblin and Barry Weatherdon acted as Project Supervisors, Jill Bobula was our hi-tech advisor and Karen Haddon's sons, David and Geoff, scanned the documents from 1980 to 1995. Our Budget of $2500 was dedicated to the scanning and a total of $2300 was spent

Anything that you wanted to know about, the Kiwanis was brought up at our "Trivia Day" luncheon. The entire Committee was involved. If you missed the luncheon, don't worry, be happy, another "Trivia Day" will be held in 1997.

In conclusion, I would like to thank President David Fair for giving me the honour of chairing the EducationlHistorical Committee. Thank you for your dedication and hard work. Although scarce in numbers, you did make a difference by living the objects of Kiwanis

Page 15 HANDS-ON COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

Breaking new ground with a new committee is always an enjoyable challenge. In this case, it was even more so as I had the support of an excellent group of Kiwanians. With their support, hard .work and enthusiasm we exceeded our objectives. We generally tried to meet every third Tuesday of the month, but changed the schedule frequently to accommodate the attendance of the highest possible number of Committee members.

By way of a little background summary, we began not knowing what to expect. After some discussion we decided to attempt two large projects and five other smaller projects and set out a best guess estimate for each. The list of projects completed together with the costs follows:

Projects are as follows: Union Mission Painting of two dormitory rooms - $95 Haematology Lab waiting room New reception window, rewiring, painting, new rugs - $178 Serenity House New bathroom - $1911 Abbeyfield House Window, fencing, various other odd jobs - $0 Youville Centre Budgeting Seminar - $0 Bethany House Wall required new door opening - $0 Special Olympics (Eastern Ontario) Bowling tournament assistance - $115 Foster Farm Building of a room separation wall with door for drop-in centre - $178 Help for Seniors Assistance in Spring yard work - $0 Bellevue Community Association Building of a play structure for kids (1-7) - $4000

Unfortunately, one of our major objectives was not fully satisfied. We had hoped to develop a new source of commraderie among the membership at large through the activities of this Committee; direct member involvement being the vehicle. But as it worked out, too many of our projects were manned by Committee members with the availability of members being quite scarce. Part of the reason for this would be the absence of an inventory of skills for the membership. Committee members undertaking project management had a difficulty knowing whom to contact for the work to be undertaken and as a result would press gang other members of the Committee to fill their resource requirements. I would strongly advise that the next Committee complete the task of developing such an inventory as early as possible and that it be maintained by the office staff. Our proposed document to gather this data is attached for the consideration of the next Committee.

Projects were sourced from the Youth and Community Services Committee, letters to the Club, letters to the President and the membership at large.

In closing, I would like to express my thanks, gratitude and acknowledgement of a job extremely well handled. The suggestions brought forth by Committee members made my task profoundly easy.

Page 16 INTERCLUB, SPORTS AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The Interclub Sports and Social Committee is the largest of our 23 committees. We have over 25 Committee members who collectively have contriQuted more than 400 years to our Kiwanis Club. The average Committee member has been a member of our club for over 15 years. We are a "Fun Raising" not a "Fund Raising" Committee. We encourage the spirit of fellowship within our club and between our club and others. Our monthly meetings would alternate between Committee members, usually in a casual stress free environment, such as a cottage, chalet or residence. We established Steering Committees with Project Chairs for all of our events. Our goal was to participate in at least three Interclubs per month and we had over 18 clubs in our surrounding area to visit. The Committee also took on odd assignments, such as "Operation Sting" , retrieving our "Gong" from a fellow club.

The major events and venues throughout the year were as follows: Curling Bonspiel • January 13, 1996 The Annual Division 12 & 13 Curling Bonspiel was hosted by the Pembroke Club. Our caravan departed Ottawa for this fun fest day as orchestrated by Project Chair Jim Anderson with three teams of four representing our Club. Dinner and prizes followed. Sip and Skate • February 8, 1996 A hardy group of Kiwanians assembled at Dow's Lake Pavilion. In all, 36 members participated, considering the mild wet weather. Project Chair Frank Tipper's high test glue wine was topped off by an excellent dinner. Mont Ste. Marie Skiing • February 24.25, 1996 Our very own members hosted this weekend making their chalets available at hillside for over 44 fellow Kiwanians. The weekend kicked off with a Friday evening buffet at the ski lodge. Skiing followed on Saturday with a mid-afternoon Happy Hour at the lodge. Our host for evening cocktails was Ron Wing, which was followed by a dinner and dancing at the lodge, all orchestrated by Project Chair Gilles Langlois. Sock Hop • April 12, 1996 An evening at Capone's Eastside with over 108 fellow Kiwanians and friends dancing the night away to Bruce and the Burgers (50's-60's) music. A superb 4-course meal, prizes and theme dress all under the watchful eye of Project Chair Gilles Langlois. Amberwood Golf • June 19, 1996 The weather cooperated and so did the membership with over 54 golfers and 6 tennis players. The Vic Castledine Trophy for Low Gross was won by John Booth and the Jim Plante Trophy for Low Net was won by Wayne Beaudoin. The longest drive and closest to the hole were won by Darrell Powell. Our appreciation goes out to project Chair Jim Anderson, who made this all possible. Mont Ste. Marie Golf· July 24.25, 1996 This venue attracted over 44 Kiwanians who were hosted by various members with chalets at hillside. Project Chair Frank Tipper kicked off the evening before with a barbecue. Golf, dinner and no prizes ensued the following day, as everybody was a winner.

Page 17 Family Picnic • August 11, 1996 This "old style picnic" was hosted by one of our very own members, Moe Racine and is sure to be a growing event. This no cost event was affordable by all bringing out in excess of 100 participants for a barbecue, games and good old Dominic D' Arcy entertainment; just a basic fun filled day. It was all made possible by Project Chairs Bernie Ethier, Jim MacLeod, Steve Moore and the perseverance of President David Fair. Round Robin • September 27, 1996 The homes of Wayne French, Martin Diegel and Bill Keating took top honours as they hosted this year's event. An evening social as Kiwanians, new and old alike, mingled to classical background music. Dinner and liquor all brought to you by Project Chair Sims. Florida Interclub • October 26 - November 2, 1996 Although Project Chair Tom Belton spent a great deal of time and effort in organizing this event, time and money got the better of most Kiwanian members. Our tee off time has been rescheduled to next year when we will be bursting at the seams. Regardless, we had a hoot of a time.

Our Committee was made up of a diverse group of members who made most meetings very lively. Membership participation in all the events turned our effons into a full year of fun and gratification. I would like to thank those members of the Committee who hosted our meetings and on behalf of the unsung heroes wish the incoming Chair, Bob Vergette, good luck.

Page 18 IODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDER COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96

Goal for the year - to raise the level of knowledge about the Iodine Deficiency Disorder Project within our club. The following shows some of the ideas used to achieve these goals:

An 8.5" x 11" acrylic tent stand was placed on each table at our Friday lunch, the message was changed each week. We attempted to show a different fact each week.

We displayed an eight foot by one foot banner at the head table each week that said "Kiwanis International Salt Solution for Kids."

Pledge forms were placed on each table at the lunches to offer the members the chance to pledge donations to this project. We were pleased to report that $5,700.00 was raised.

Ted Horton and I spoke to our club members about the Project at one of our lunches regarding the International goals for this Project.

We developed a door prize draw, where small containers filled with salt were sold as tickets, three of these were filled with iodized salt. The kits that are used to test the salt in the third world were then used to test each container:and the winners salt were the ones that turned blue. This will be repeated at future lunches.

Ian Peddie and I spoke at two assemblies at Nepean High School at the request of the Nepean Key Club regarding this project.

--- -- KEY CLUB & CIRCLE K COMMITTEE REPORT -1995-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

Each week members of the four Key Clubs meet at their respective schools along with their Teacher Advisor and Kiwanis Advisor to conduct a business meeting similar to our Kiwanis weekly meetings. It requires a great deal of dedication from all members involved in order to ensure the ongoing success of each club. As you will read, our Key Clubs have been very successful over the past year.

Our greatest accomplishment for the past year was the chartering of a new Key Club at Sir Robert Borden High School. Most Kiwanis Clubs sponsor one Key Club, if at all, but we are fortunate to have four active clubs under our direction. Special recognition is warranted for Howard Lithwick who with the assistance of Judith Miller, Teacher Advisor, was able to bring this club to fruition with a membership in excess of 20 Key Clubbers.

A total of 26 members travelled 22 hours one way by train and bus to attend the annual district convention held in St. John, New Brunswick in June. The convention is always a highlight for Key Club members as it is an opportunity to meet fellow members from Eastern Canada and Caribbean District The event encompasses the election of a new district board, workshops to share success and fun events such as a talent show and the Governor's dinner and dance. Each year members come away with a greater appreciation for Key Clubs and heightened level of dedication. 1997 represents the 50th anniversary for Key Club International and the convention will be held in London, Ontario. Try to attend, you won't regret it!

Membership in each of the clubs was actively promoted with a total of 88 students participating under the effective direction of Club Presidents, Larissa Sawchen - Nepean, Jose Thibault - Glebe, Carlton Wan - Lisgar and Lison McCaffrey - Sir Robert Borden. Each of the Presidents and their executive committees are to be commended for their dedication and hard work as evidenced by the undernoted community service projects: A canned food drive to benefit the Ottawa Food Bank with 4,100 cans collected. Licorice sold during lunch hours with the proceeds used to buy Christtnas gifts for battered women and children. Assist the Kiwanis Club serving Christmas dinner at Alex Dayton Centre and participated in the Kiwanis TV Auction, Duck Race for Tiny Hearts and Relay-On-Ice. Volunteered for the Lighthouse Project which involves reading to young children after school. Sold crocuses with the proceeds donated to the C.N.I.B. Sold calendars to support the Kiwanis Lottery Calendars. Raised awareness through the White Ribbon Campaign and collected donations for battered women. Organized a pancake breakfast with the Mayor, media and sports celebrities in attendance and raised funds for the United Way. Helped with Christmas decorating at the Civic Hospital. Conducted an assembly to raise awareness and funds to support the I.D.D. Project A Regional Training Conference was held October 14, 1996 at Lisgar Collegiate with 50 members in attendance from clubs in Ottawa, Pembroke and Brockville. Lisgar Key Club was commended for the successful organization of this meeting.

Page 20 An interclub bowling event was hosted in November with a good turnout from all clubs. Special recognition to Jim MacLeod who volunteered to organize this outing and ensured· its success. In addition, a Fun-A-Thon event was held in Brockville with good from our clubs. Key Club Day is always a rewarding experience for the Key Clubbers, Teacher Advisors and Kiwanis Committee members. The meeting was conducted with a high degree of professionalism exhibited by the members participating from each of the clubs. The annual reports given by each of the Club Presidents are a testament of the dedication and initiative demonstrated by all members and advisors. They always make us proud! I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the members of the committee: . Marcia Sachs, Vice President and Buck Madden. Director, for their positive insight and effective representation to the Board on our behalf. Jim MacLeod for accepting the responsibility of the Vice-Chair person and weekly scribe. Jim's willingness to assist whenever requested was a great support. Bill Keating and Mike Zanon for working closely with the Lisgar Key Club. Lisgar·s success is a reflection of the dedication of these two members. Howard Lithwick for his undying support and ongoing guidance to Nepean Key Club and Sir Roben Borden Key Club. Tom Moore for assisting in an advisory role at Glebe Key Club and for being an active Committee participant Joan Tomiuk, Judith Safran, Mary Lou Boyle and Judith Miller for volunteering their time as Teacher Advisors and making a difference in the quality of our Key Clubs. Lastly, to the members of the four Key Clubs who discharge their mandate in a professional manner and are positive role models amoung their peers. We are proud of their accomplishments and know they will become responsible Kiwanis members. Respectfully submitted,

Vice-Chair - Jim MacLeod Vice-President - Marcia Sachs Director - Buck Madden Michael Chettleburgh Stan Greenwood Kent Howie Bill Keating Howard Lithwick Glen Luckman Tom Moore Stephen Smye MikeZanon

Page 21 LOTTERY CALENDAR COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The Lottery Calendar changed its name and focus from the CPR Calendar to the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Lottery Calendar. The reason was two-fold: to better promote our Club and also to allow flexibility in having a different benefactor. We did however carry over our commitment of a further $10,000 to the CPR program to purchase infant mannequins for the various School Boards. Unfortunately, the School Boards did not follow through on their commitment to better support Calendar sales. As a result, it is the strong recommendation of the Committee that any revenue sharing with a beneficiary should have some commitment as to pre-detennined sales targets. It is felt that any benefactor would also benefit from the exposure we created for them in the community, together with our organization and marketing skills and also the security of the Kiwanis Qub underwriting the Calendar. In an effort to reduce our hard costs, we had the Ottawa Senators as our major sponsor, plus twelve monthly sponsors who were identified throughout the Calendar.

We targeted our sales through a number of different areas. Initially a letter was sent to each purchaser of the 1995 Calendar. Corporate sales through local companies and direct sales through the Bank of Montreal. There was also two neighbourhood blitz days and an evening telethon which focused on prior years' calendar holders. The phone blitz turned out to be the most successful, as our calls were made to pre-qualified purchasers. The Second Annual Lottery Calendar again was a successful fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club. Through the dedicated hard work of the Committee and again the terrific sales support of the Kiwanis members, we were able to raise $20,000 after all expenses through the sale of 4209 Calendars. It has been a very rewarding experience to be your Chair and I know everyone will support Clive Woolley who heads up next year's Lottery Calendar. Respectfully submitted, l David Lees, Chair

Page 22 MAJOR EMPHASIS COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The Committee's role is to assist the club in keeping focus on the Major emphasis Theme which is "Young Children Priority One". To this end the Committee arranged for a Major Emphasis Day at the club with a speaker from the Child Welfare League of Canada.

Financial support was recommended and approved for two requests:

1. The Children's Aid Foundation in the amount of $1,000 to allow child care workers to leave behind a "care package" for young children when they visit in an emergency situation.

2. Approximately $200 towards the National Immunization Poster competition which is asking children to submit entries designed to make the community more sensitive to the needs of immunizing infants against preventable diseases.

As a result of the Program on Organ donation put on by the Heart Institute and other agencies, our Committee was asked by the Board to follow up and stimulate interest within the club, Kiwanis and the community. This action is ongoing with the initial focus being in High Schools through the Key Clubs.

I wish to thank Bill Whillans, the Vice-Chair and other Committee members who carried on during my lengthy absence.

Page 23 MEDICAL FOUNDATION COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The Kiwanis Medical Foundation focused its funding activity on four (4) major sponsorships this year, which originated late last year. Their investigation, presentation to the Committee, approval and subsequent funding was not completed until early in the spring of 1996.

These sponsorships were as follows: Cervical Cancer Screen Project Dr. Michael Fung Kee Fung, Gynaecologic Oncology Department, Ottawa General Hospital - $18,000.00 Cervical Cancer, diagnosed early via a PAP smear can be more effectively treated when more women can be tested. These tests can be digitized, filed and'transmitted as a patient record to other doctors or other regions of the country. This program will improve the computerization techniques of the screening program and the compilation of this data. Improved diagnosis, patient education, clinical research and multi-physician training are all components of this screening program. Our funding was contingent on matching funds by the Hospital. Research into Necrotizing Entereo Colitis in Pre-mature Babies Dr. Anthony Krantis, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa - $15,000 A disease affecting 10% of premature babies, whereby the intestinal walls begin to decay and die, allowing bacteria into the intestines and stomach, resulting in death. Dr. Krantis and Dr. Maria Di Lorenzo of St. Justine's in Montreal determined that low levels of Nitric Oxide hinders the development of the intestinal walls. However, an existing drug, L' Argine, may be employed as a solution. By increasing levels of L' Argine in the babies IV feedings prior to oral feedings, higher levels of NO are achieved and the intestinal walls complete their development. Since L' Argine is not a new drug, normal drug company funding is not available. The Medical Foundation sponsored this research and hope to continue this funding through clinical studies in 1997. It represents an opportunity to sponsor research, clinical studies and actual implementation. Further, our funding was contingent on matching funds by the University. -40 degree Celsius Freezer Dr. Ed O'Brien, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa Civic Hospital - $4,500 This freezer was required for blood products utilized in heart research. An existing freezer, in another department was shared but its capacity was completely utilized and Dr. O'Brien's group required their own. Once again, funding was contingent on reciprocal funding. Alarm Bracelets Dr. Roanne Segal, Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre - $4,494. In a research study concerned with reporting the positive effects of exercise on cancer patients an exercise room is provided but not always supervised, hence the need for alarm bracelets. The Committee was pleased to support this request.

Page 24 Funding comes primarily from interest earned from our capital fund originally established by Dr. MacLaughlin and is further funded by the club members generosity and the Committee's annual fundraiser, Night at the Races, which nets approximately $8,000 per year. This years event was well attended by members and the medical community. 'I1\e Medical Foundation meets monthly, established a sub-committee structuIe this year, continues to plan site visits and enjoys the participation of its dedicated members. The Medical Luncheon was well attended and its head table enjoyed the attendance of all recipients this year. We thank the doctors for taking time from their busy schedules to attend our luncheon. As Chair for 1995-96, I must thank my Cominittee and especially my executive, Susan Menzies and Jim Wright To Allan Castledine for financial management and advice, to George Perrin for hosting our meetings, to Rocco D'Angelo for his support and to Harry Brown and Allison Walsh for regular attendance over the years which offered a continuity of thought and process and to all the members of the Committee for their support.

Page 25 MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96

To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Onawa

Committee was asked by President David to stem the tide of negative membership. In order to do this. we set a rather aggressive objective of 27 new members with the hopes of a positive net of three increase. Thanks to the hard work of all the committee members and the efforts of the membership. at large. we were able to recruit 2S new members. Although we focused on a special Kiwanis Membership Day in mid March. we made a concerted effort to keep membership in the forefront throughout the 1995-96 year.

Special "Thanks" to all the Committee members who hosted the meeting throughout the year and congratulations to the membership at large for their efforts in supporting our initiatives to attract quality members to the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. I am confident that under the direction of Chris Thompson. the initiatives that were taken in our year will continue throughout the 1996-97 Kiwanis year.

Sincerely.

The merry members of the Kiwanis Music Committee were once again willing and able to perform on command this year.

While there were no major events which required more serious undertaking, we did perform during the Christmas season forthe Seniors Committee and the Annual Parkinsons Christmas Party where a lively rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas ended an hour of carol singing. .

Our resident creative expert, Mark Max, once again came through with a lively sCript for T.V. Auction to thank all our generous donors.

The highlight of this year was the Turnover Day skit in September which featured our Committee dressed as the incoming Board of Directors and spoofing each Board member. I never knew we had so many hams in the clubl

My thanks to all members of the Committee for their enthusiasm and support. Special kudos to Mark Max, Dominic OIArcy, Stephen Smye and Harry Brown for always providing enthusiastic and professional assistance.

Page 30 KIWANIS MUSIC AND DANCE FESTIVAL COMMITTEE - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The 1996-96 Music Festival was a great success. This could not have been accomplished without the dedication of the -members of the Music Festival Board of Directors, represented mainly by non-Kiwanians. Although Kiwanis does have 15 seats on the Board, it is regrettable that only four of these seats are filled monthly at Board meetings. A very special thanks is extended to Gary Morton, Managing Director and Jim Brough, President for their patience, enthusiasm and energy to help keep this large organization in operation.

The "look" of the Festival was updated with a newly adopted cover design and this improvement has returned an increase in participation. Graded piano in particular has increased a great deal with almost one third of festival entries coming from this section; taking nine full days of the festival to complete. Show music has also grown significantly with three full days of classes. The Band component now boasts twenty participants representing as many as 400 music students.

Some facts about the Festival are:

This past year produced six local award winners at the Provincial level. The 1997 Festival will run a full 17 days. Total performances during the Festival is approximately 5,687. Total audience/visitors is approximately 14,500. Total volunteer hours are 7,000.

Fundraising has become essential for the survival of the Festival. This year's projects include the First Annual Police Ball which was held in February involving "all of the Police Associations in the Region. Dominic D'Arcy was the recipient of this year's award which recognized his outstanding contribution to Community Service. The second annual will be organized for September 1997 to coincide with the Police Memorial Weekend. The Rideau Carleton Raceway event and the Vienna Concert were both a success. Our participation at bingo every Friday seems to be finally paying off. The gem of the Festival is without a doubt the Highlights Concert. This is a high quality performance at an affordable price for the community, by the community. All of these fundraising events contribute to balancing our $105,000 annual budget.

The Kiwanis Music Festival is now entering its 52nd year and the Board of Directors with the help of Kiwanis, is focused on furthering musical education and promoti ng the enjoyment and study of music and dance in our community and by raising public awareness and participation. Many schools plan their year around the Festival so that their students have the opportunity to perform for the general public and be adjudicated by top quality professionals.

Page 31 I am again Chair for the 1996-97 year and I look forward to another top-rate year. I would like to extend my thanks to my Committee members and to the other Kiwanis Clubs who participated in the Festival. Without their help, success would not have been possible.

Bob and others give a big thank you to Henry Krzywicki, who faithfully took and distributed the minutes. Henry, you did a super job. Members of the Committee have worked hard and always provided sound advice. President David Fair, Vice-President and Directors were almost always present to offer inspiration and support and Club members came forward with ideas and to offer constructive suggestions on how we can improve the Club meetings. Their feedback is always appreciated.

Rita and Karen are both very special, a fact one soon realizes when you work with them. Thanks to both of them for continuous support and help. Bob had to leave for Toronto in July on a 5- month consulting assignment. He ensured that the Committee matters were in order and up to date before handing over the reigns to Sam Bhargava.

page 34 PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

During the year the Committee consolidated its purpose on public relations activities external to the Club. This focus included work on proactively getting the message out within the community about the charitable work undertaken by the Club and its members.

Specific initiatives included:

The facilitation of links with Ottawa Business News in order to assist and benefit our interests in getting our Kiwanis message to the Ottawa/Carleton Business community.

The development of a series of stories for distribution to media sources (including community newspapers) on Seniors, Youth & Community Services, Wellness and Community and the Kiwanis Duck Race for Tiny Hearts at CHEO.

The provision of material for the production of some vignette stories for the 1996 T.V. Auction (a few of these spots evolved from the previously mentioned media stores).

Input assistance to Jamie Johnson regarding the format and public relations impact for the Club's home page on its site on the Internet.

The Committee has put in place a foundation for continued follow through during the 1996-97 year.

The bus was donated by Ottawa Valley Tours and took us through the Gatineau Hills where we stopped for refreshments at Eidelweiss. A very enjoyable time was had by all. Light Tour In the early part of December we accompanied 60 Seniors from SL Patrick's Home and Ottawa West on a Christmas light tour of Ottawa The bus was again donated by Ottawa Valley Tours and Santa Claus (Ken Miller) came along for the ride. The singalong was led by members of the Music Committee. Christmas Dinner We served Christmas dinner to 150 seniors at the Alex Dayton Senior's Activity Centre and received good participation from many of our Kiwanis Club members. As usual, this event was well attended, Santa Claus was instrumental in providing Christmas cheer, the favours were well received, the food was good and it was very satisfying to see the smiles on the faces of both our members' and the Seniors. Lynda Campbell did an excellent job on organizing this event Summer Barbecues We held five barbecues this summer at St. Patrick's, the Glebe Centre, Ottawa West, Sterling Place and Asher Place. A different Committee member took charge of each barbecue and entertainment was provided for all five events by either Dominic D' Arcy and/or our Music Committee. Boat Tour In June, we accompanied 60 Seniors down the Ottawa Canal on a boat donated by Paul's Boat Lines. The ride lasted for just over an hour and the bright and sunny weather contributed to making this a memorable event.

Page 36 SPIRITUAL AIMS & INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The revitalized Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee took the opportunity given by the Board of Directors to once again become an important and viable part of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa.

Throughout the year. the Committee looked at and investigated the possibilities of helping smaller clubs in third world countries with their Kiwanis International dues. This was addressed by the Board of Directors.

Also preliminary discussion centered around the feasibility of establishing a Kiwanis Club for the mentally challenged. This would involve a great deal of wOrk. but would be a project for the future.

The Committee also sponsored twelve foster children in various parts of the world. through the Salvation Army. In addition, the Committee gave four scholarships to students studying at St. paul University.

The Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee is still alive and functioning for the good of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa.

Sincerely,

Major Cliff Hollman. Chair

- II! WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

The past year was one in which the President wanted the Committee to concentrate on a number of items. 1. The Committee was asked to review existing activities of the major fundraising committees. 2. To assess new fundraising projects. 3. To audit and comment on special activities, namely the Benefit Dinner and the T.V. Auction. 4. To find solutions to problems relative to changing times and fundraising activities. 5. Report to the Board.

As this Committee is one that is advisory only, it has no monetary budget.

The Committee reported to the Board that it would be difficult to audit in depth every fundraising Committee. It was decided to look closely at the Benefit Dinner and the T.V. Auction.

The Benefit Dinner While the cost reward of the Benefit Dinner is somewhat low in relation to the amount of effort it requires, it was felt that given it regularly raises in excess of $20,000 that the Club should make every effort to come up with new ways to enhance the Dinner without incurring further costs. There were several meetings to explore the option of combining the dinner with an auction. It was decided in the end not to proceed. The combined totals of the Dinner and the Auction were thought to be less than the two taken separately.

The T.V. Auction The Auction was thoroughly audited both from a cost point of view and from a time commitment point of view. Keeping in mind that the survey from club members stated that it was increasingly difficult to devote time and in also getting items for the auction, alternatives were explored to find a better way. The format was indeed changed this year and the outcome will be measured when the results come in. The Committee feels that the overall audit of the Auction should take place as soon as possible after the Auction inasmuch as it takes so much time to organize the next year's event.

One of the concerns that the Ways and Means Committee has is that with many of the fundraising events that the club participates in, there is a lot of history. Many of the members who have served on many of these committees for many years have almost an ownership relationship with the Committee. It is difficult to suggest change given these circumstances. New members especially are often intimidated and are reluctant to become involved.

Page 38 The Committee received several proposals to consider for Club involvement. A list of these requests can be provided, however the Committee did report to the Board their recommendations based on the mandate that they were given. One of the disappointments was the number of suggestions put forward to the Committee. Even after the appeal from President Elect Ron Wing, there were no submissions to the Club. The Committee for next year will encourage more ideas with possibly an incentive to the members that participate.

While I was honoured to be the Committee Chair this past year, I have to thank the members of the Committee for their wonderful support, especially at the early morning meetings held at Kristy's Restaurant. The Committee was small and yet accomplished a lot as the members were vocal and enthusiastic. I would like the Committee to have a higher profile in the ensuing year. Ken Birch is working on some placements and awareness campaigns to allow the Club to be better informed about the function of the Committee. Each of the Committee members has been given the tasks of collecting information on what others service clubs are dOing to raise funds and participate in the community. This information is being compiled and will be passed onto the Board.

Some key members of the Committee have elected to remain on the Committee and there is also new members coming into the group. It will be my pleasure to remain and support Rob Tripp for the coming year.

Page 39 WINTERLUDE COMMITTEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------To: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

KIWANIS RELAY ON ICE - COMMITTEE MISSION STATEMENT- 1995/96 The Kiwanis & ROH Relay on Ice Committee is twofold: Firstly, as a fundraiser, the event provides a vehicle through which the- Kiwanis Club of Ottawa raises funds for the Community Services Account, as well as for the Royal Ottawa Hospital Health Care Group. Secondly, the Relay on Ice is a recreational activity to be enjoyed by the Ottawa-Carleton community at large.

Working in conjunction with the Royal Ottawa Hospital Health Care Group, the Relay on Ice Committee endeavours to achieve the above objectives, working always with diligence and maintaining the integrity of the Club.

RESULTS OF THE 1996-96 RELAY ON ICE The Relay on Ice was a very good success this year with a net revenue of $55,000.00. We had approximately 55 teams participating in the event and the venue was more structured and organized than it has been in the past.

As in previous years, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa paired up with the Royal Ottawa Hospital for the event. In addition, we also decided to work with the Grace Hospital and the consultant, TBM Sports, who specialize in organizing large sporting events.

The event took place at the Aberdeen Pavilion this year in order that we might have a better ambiance than was experienced in the Dome. It must also be said that the Dome was not available on the date we scheduled the event. Nonetheless, the location was perfect and one that will considered for the future.

This year, the Relay on Ice became an official Winterlude event. We were advised by the NCC that they were no longer allowing events to take place during Winderlude without first becoming an "official" event. We also decided to participate in NCC's sponsorship program. Within the parameters of this program, the NCC seeks corporate sponsors for the different events and takes a percentage (15 - 25°k) of the corporate funding. It was decided that because we did not have to pay to participate in this program, we had nothing to lose. As a result of this programme, our corporate sponsor for the event was AST Computers based in Toronto. We received $7,500.00 of $10,000.00.

The Relay on Ice Committee also decided to pursue corporate sponsors. To that end, we developed a corporate sponsor program with different levels of incentive. Each level of incentive provided different degrees of visibility and corporate exposure via print, signs or the radio. We were successful and it's an idea we will continue to pursue in the future.

Page 40 As aforementioned, we had approximately 55 teams participating in the event. We decided that it was not the number of teams that mattered, but rather the amount of pledges each team brought in. We developed an incentive program for teams which was well received and achieved it's objective. The overall team pledges were up from the previous year. Again, there were different levels of incentive prizes based on the amount of pledges brought in by teams and/or individuals.

As a result of being a Winderlude event and working alongside the consultant, The Relay was much more structured and it's efficiency greatly enhanced. There were many Kiwanians who not only participated in the event but also volunteered and for that, we are very grateful.

Overall, the event was a great success with a lot of hard work and time put in by the members of the Committee. We surpassed our revenue forecast and came under with respect to our expenses. We look forward to the 1996-97 Relay on Ice!

Page 41 YOUTH AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMfITEE REPORT - 1995-96 ------TQ: The President and the Members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa

With the tough economic times, the Youth and Community Services Committee was kept very busy over the past 12 months.

There were over 120 requests that were received by the Kiwanis office, with over 90 requests being personally investigated by Committee members. Each Committee member did a very thorough job and devoted much time in their investigation of these requests, insuring that the money spent had helped the most deserving and less fortunate in the community.

The Committee decided to re-evaluate our commitment to school bursaries. The decision was made to continue with the two $500 Youville Centre bursaries as well as grant a $1000 bursary to a very well deserving Vanessa Woods to attend Carleton University. Vanessa is a past member of one of our Key Clubs. It was felt by the Committee that we weren't getting the maximum mileage out of the bursary program. This commitment should be revisited by next year's Committee.

Although our budget was set at $35,000, it had been cut back to $25,000 due to financial constraints within the ClUb. Through innovation, suggestions and creative action by the Committee members, we managed to spend $23,200.80 as"per the attached list.

I would personally like to thank the Vice-Chair, Ian Peddie and all the members for their support throughout the year. With such an active and hardworking Committee, there was still time for laughter and great fellowship.

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, Incorporated

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, Incorporated as at September 30, 1996 and the consolidated statement of revenue, expense and surplus for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Club's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The Club derives revenue from membership fees, donations and various fundraising activities, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Club and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to such sources of revenue, excess of revenue over expense, assets and account balances. In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the revenue sources referred to in the preceding paragraph, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Club as at September 30, 1996 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the Canada Corporations Act, we report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In common with many charitable organizations, the Foundation derives revenue from donations and functions the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the organization and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to such sources of revenue, excess of revenue over expense, assets and surplus. In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the revenues referred to in the preceding paragraph, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Foundation as at September 30, 1996 and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
