PortalBuzz and MemberDay

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.
Kiwanis Connect and Kiwanis Engage
Kiwanis Connect is primary used by our Club Secretaries for member management. More information can be found at Club Online Reporting.
Kiwanis Connect will be replaced by Kiwanis Engage, possibly in August 2024.
