What are Newsletters? There are three types of Newsletters: Divisional, Regional, and District. They are used to promote upcoming events, service projects, and other useful information. •
As the name implies, they are letters that deliver news!
Each type should cover only the news regarding the that level of Key Club in order to avoid unnecessary repetition.

What do they look like? Newsletters are official Key Club documents and should be made following the Graphic Standards mentioned earlier. Sometimes you can personalize and stray from the standards, but you should try to keep it simple. They can be made in Microsoft Word or Publisher, but should always be saved as a PDF file. Feel free to include pictures and make it interesting instead of blocks of text. “If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.” -Maya Angelou

How long are they? The newsletter should be long enough to cover the important information, but short enough to keep the reader’s attention. • Divisional Newsletters are usually a page or two. • Regional Newsletters vary based on how many divisions are in your region.
Avoid putting unnecessary information.

What pictures can I add? Pictures in the newsletters should be of Key Clubbers in action at a Key Club event. (The exception being self-portraits.)
They should be of energetic, happy, and diverse Key Clubbers. If possible, they should exemplify Key Club’s four core values (leadership, character building, caring, and inclusiveness). And Clip Art is useful! “If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.” -Maya Angelou
