In accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws of the Capital District Kiwanis International, official notice is hereby given that the Ninety First Annual Convention of the Capital District Kiwanis International will be held in Dover, Delaware  at The Sheraton Dover Hotel, August 21-23, 2009.

Each chartered club in good standing in the Capital District shall be entitled to three (3) delegates, two of whom shall be the President and President-elect. Each chartered club at the time of selection of delegates may choose one alternate for each delegate. Delegates and alternates must be active, privileged, or senior members in good standing in the clubs which they represent. In the event a chartered club does not have a delegate to represent it at a District Convention, it may designate one Past Lieutenant Governor, with that person's concurrence, who is an active member of a club of the same Division, to serve as its delegate to any District Convention.

Financial indebtedness to the Capital District and Kiwanis International must be cleared before club delegates may be seated in the house-of-delegates at the convention.

Attention is called to the fact that the house-of-delegates will be convened on Saturday afternoon, August 22, 2009 to handle routine business such as amendments, resolutions, etc. A second delegate session will be held on Sunday morning, August 23, 2009 at which time the election of officers will be conducted.

Forms for use in certifying the Election of Delegates and Alternates to this convention will be mailed to each club secretary of record.
