PortalBuzz and MemberDay
PortalBuzz a 3rd party service (ie, not affiliated with Kiwanis International) for hosting Kiwanis websites and for Member Management. It was discontinued February 29, 2024.
A new service was started by the founder (and former CTO of KI), Scott Smith, known as MemberDay. It is still a 3rd party service, but it has similar pricing and similar features to PortalBuzz.
