In accordance with the terms of our appointment, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kiwanis International-European Federation as of and for the year ended September 30, 2015 which show a balance sheet total of EUR 374.949,74 and a total profit fot the year of EUR 84.026,44 composed of a profit of EUR 10.213,90 for the Federation Contractual Programs, of a profit of EUR 49.598,90 for the Convention Fund and a profit of EUR 24.213,64 for the Federation Operational Account. These financial statements are the responsibility of the members of the Board KI-EF. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit activities. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about wether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.It also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We have obtained from the Treasurer the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Kiwanis International – European Federation as of September 30, 2015 and of its results for the year then ended, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting standards and the requirements of Kiwanis International – European Federation bylaws.

Motivation Since my retirement in 2007, I have dedicated a great deal of my time to Kiwanis, first as lieutenant governor, then as distinguished governor in 2008-2009, followed by International Trustee for 2010-2013 giving me a vast experience and large network within Kiwanis. Also in Europe, like in the rest of the Kiwanis world, we are facing a tremendous task: Rejuvenation and revitalization of our organization ! I consider this as a high priority and also Tranparancy, Lean and mean and an efficient organization, Added value to our European districts, Good representation of Europe at Kiwanis International level Improving communication between KI and KIEF and the districts My motto ? “Not just words, but deeds (Facta, non verba)!” My Goal ? that every child is happy, healthy, safe and loved! #Kids Need Kiwanis 9 Candidate for the office of President-Elect KI-EF 2016-2017 Piero Grasso District Italy - Malta - San Marino International - International trustee KI board 2009-2012 - Member on KI committee Resolution and Bylaws 2012/2015 - Counselor of Kiwanis International Districts of Austria, France- Monaco, Georgia, ItalySan Marino, Malaysia, Montana, New Jersey, Southwest - Attended over 13 International Convention Miscellaneous George Hixon Fellow level 3 Kiwanis Ambassador Charter Zeller Fellow Georgia Outstanding Leader Legion of Honor Age66 Family Profession Married to Valeria 1 son / 1 daughter 2 grandchildren Lawyer Club - - - - 1985 Member KC Bergamo 1990 President KC Bergamo 1993 Member KC Bergamo Orobico 2008 President KC Bergamo Orobico Division 1995 LTG Division 1 Lombardia 1 District - Distinguished Governor District Italy 2004. - 1997/98 - Chairman Study Committee Foundation - 1998/99 - District Kiar - 1999/2000 - Chairman Kiwanis International Foundation Europe - KI-EF Convention from 1997 to 2015 - 2005 Member on KI-EF Committee Branding & Marketing 10 Motivation A more modern and younger Kiwanis, open, especially, to the needs of people and communities. A lean organization, without superstructures that can quickly identify the objectives to be achieved and act quickly. A Kiwanis faithful to its traditions which, though renewed in the centenary, are still relevant today. A Kiwanis looking ahead towards bigger and bigger challenges, because even bigger are the needs of the community. A Kiwanis with more women because without them it is impossible to think of being able to serve the children. Candidate (I) for the office Vice President KI-EF 2016-2017 Christiaan Decorte District Belgium-Luxembourg Age65 Family Married to Marie, 4 children and 7 grandchildren Profession Almost 45 years active as computer scientist (owner/manager) Club Motivation - Deployment of modern equipment is a conditio sine qua non. Use by encouraging members is just as important. A professional PR policy can help substantially here. - More women included in our clubs and in control, at all level of Kiwanis - Young Professionals: the development of our YP organization gets all the attention . There is increasing interest among young people in Kiwanis and we must make use of that interest to lay a broad foundation for the continuity and growth of the districts . May I remind you that when I was governor, I chartered the club “Young Professional Belgium-Luxembourg” and the club “Young Professionals Juventus Brugge”, and so the 120 junior members of our district became full members of Kiwanis. They, and all young people can count on my support. Damme Uilenspiegel West Vlaanderen Noord President (3), Treasurer (12), DBM (15) Division Lt.

So far, my Kiwanis journey has been extremely gratifying, full of learning experiences, valuable networking and personal growth. Wishing to give more, I stand at a crossroads, eager to explore yet another path. With your help and support, I believe I have the experiences, the passion, the enthusiasm, and the “servant leader” mentality to lead the Federation forward. In 2015 Kiwanis stood at a historical crossroad, the dawn of a new era. It is in our hands to forge the future of the world´s premier service organization dedicated to serving the children. At all levels Federation membership, should play an active part in this resurgence. Kiwanis 2.0 is here! • We need to support the Kiwanis I-Plan and adopt it within the Federation • We need to smooth our internal and external relations with KI • We need to stop membership bleeding • We need to apply financial accountability and operational transparency at every level of the Federation • We need to constantly scrutinize and evaluate Federation programs • We must face all our issues and challenges based on the European philosophy of close cooperation, cross-cultural/linguistic and national respect and a bonding historical cohesion. So I declare! We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone!
