Discussion will focus on the specifics of the topic, project or fundraiser presented as well as similar projects that members in the room do with their own clubs. How To s: Sessions that explore specific resources and tools from Kiwanis International that can be implemented in your club. Tutorials: Hands-on sessions that teach a specific topic and allow you to practice or implement during the workshop.
