Volume 1, Issue 7 December 2012
Hello there Division 7B, I hope each and everyone of you had a great holidays with your family, friends and love ones. As the new year is approaching soon, I want you all to think about what else you could do to help out your community like either holding a walk for March of Dimes in your school, having a bake sells for the local charity in your area or helping out with senior bingo game night. I know that’s what my key club does and it is fantas+c because the senior ci+zens there really do appreciate our enthusiasm and cheerfulness. Nothing is impossible when we all put our minds to it. If you ever need help with anything, just feel free to contact me! I wish you all will have a Happy New Year before the break end. Stay safe guys and I will talk to you all very soon!

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return. Maya Angelou

President’s Page President, please make sure you have this down to your club agenda! Even though the due date has passed, it is very important to get the dues in! If you have any ques.ons about this, please contact me ASAP!!!!!!
How To submit my club’s dues? Step-by-step instructions: 1. Go to www.keyclub.org/MUC to access the Membership Update Center. 2. Click "Register/Reset Password." All clubs should click on this link, regardless of whether or not they have paid dues in previous years or not. 3. You'll be prompted to enter an email address. If the faculty advisor who paid dues last year is still your faculty advisor, then enter his email address. He should receive a confirmation email informing him that his email address has been recognized and providing him with a unique hyperlink which will allow him to set his own, new password to access the Membership Update Center whenever he'd like. 4. If you have a new faculty advisor or your faculty advisor's email has been rejected, then you will need to email memberservices@kiwanis.org with a request to update your club's faculty advisor contact information before you can set yourself a password and get into the system. Once your information is updated, then you should be able to go through the process detailed in step 3. 5. After you have set a new password for your club, then you will be able to log into the Membership Update Center in future years using your advisor's email address and your personal password. Once you get into the system, it is much improved from previous years and should be fairly self-explanatory. Please feel free to contact me for future assistances!
