Welcome to your Builders Club Website!
It is my privilege to be your MOARK District Administrator for a fifth year and help you with anything Builders Club!
MOARK MidYear - Education Leadership Day will be held at the Holiday Inn, Springfield, MO on March 10 and 11, 2023.
Several workshop-style sessions will be held on the 11th. Please consider attending, and learning about how you and Kiwanis make meaningful impact with the children / students in your area.
The various SLPs (Service Leadership Programs) that are sponsored by Kiwanis include:
CKI (College Kiwanis),
Key Club (High School Kiwanis - the world's largest student-led service organization for High School age students),
Builders Club, (Middle / Junior High Kiwanis - the world's largest student-led service organization for Middle-Level students),
K-Kids (Elementary Kiwanis) and
Aktion Clubs (Kiwanis for the Developmentally Disabled).
I encourage each member of the Kiwanis family to attend a MOARK Conference or Convention. They help with networking and gaining ideas to bring back to your club.
There will be the MOARK District Convention in early August - in Jonesburg, Arkansas. Please consider attending! Some of the sessions will also be carried on Zoom.
I am also the MOARK District Region 1 Trustee - (Kansas City and Northwest MO).
I encourage you, the Builders Club Advisors, to become involved with your local Kiwanis Club - they sponsor your group and are a great local resource! Many service projects are able to be conducted in a joint manner with students and adults working together. This helps both groups!
Kiwanis International has one staff member that is helping at the international level, and the KI people manage the various Builders Club contests and awards.
The Builders Club Website at Kiwanis International is a huge help / resource. Please check it out!

Builders Club Week is March 20 - 24, 2023... Please consider an activity this spring.
Go to: http://www.buildersclub.org/Discover/Builders_Club_Week.aspx
Please reach out to other Middle School Teachers you know in your region, and encourage them to start-up a new Builders Club in their school!
We are moving forward with service to our communities!
CONGRATULATIONS to the Smithville Middle School Builders Club - our most recently chartered club in MOARK! Smithville is just north of Kansas City and just east of the KC Airport! It has a large recreational lake (Smithville Lake) and an enthusiastic school population. Please welcome them!
Idea: Faculty Sponsors need to be encouraged and allowed to attend a Kiwanis Club meeting at least on a quarterly basis. The connections are so valuable for both clubs. And have a few of your Builders Club leaders attend with you. Doing this during Builders Club Week would be a super way to be recognized!
Conducting a service project during "Our Week" would be a good way to also get recognition! Don't forget to get your local newspaper know to have a spot in the paper for your project.
And get your project into Social Media as soon as possible. Parents and others in your community are looking for what you do!
Idea: Builders Club Week "Slice with the Principal". Have pizzas and beverages with your Principal and other supporters of your club.
Idea: Collect diapers for a local day care or pre-school during Builders Club Week.
Idea: Send your top Service Project to the MOARK Kiwanigram editor for inclusion in a future Kiwanigram. It is easy and a photo will help enhance the submission!
