Key Club Pledge I pledge on my honor, To uphold the objects of Key Club International; To build my home, school and community; To serve my nation and God; And to combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions

District Updates District Secretary Application As you know, our District Secretary has resigned due to her strenuous workload.

The forms are due to Walt Roetter and Rachel Iselin by October 12th by 11:59 PM.
Youth Opportunity Fund What: A $100-$2,000 grant for Key Clubs. One of the coolest benefits of being a Key Club member. Why: Sometimes, the only thing standing between you and an awesome service project is the funding for supplies/other materials. YOF is here to help. Who: You. Your club. Any Key Club member! How: All applications are due by OCTOBER 15! Go to keyclub.org to apply. Send them in a week early to make sure they get there on time!
Club Forum Applications Ever wondered what it would be like to teach a forum? Now is your chance! As in the past, we have always invited clubs to apply for their convention attendees to share their unique knowledge and perspective by teaching a forum at district convention. This year is no different, your club could potentially teach a forum at DCON 2016. If selected, clubs will be working closely with the Convention Liaison, Megan Reynosa, to ensure their forum will be the best it can be. 5

Divisional Ad? Help support our division by bringing some $$ to our October DCM! If every club brings $20, we can get a full page ad and celebrate our year of service at DCON! 6

Help make a change this holiday season! Key Club’s Trick or Treat for UNICEF funds go towards the Eliminate Project, which is in its final 7 stretch!
Collect change using the Trick or Treat boxes, or any container! Instead of collecting candy on Halloween, collect spare change and dollar bills! Challenge your members to see how much change you guys can raise.
