Invite a Guest Speaker • Invite a guest speaker to a Key Club meeting.... either to talk about a service project, or maybe ask someone from the Kiwanis club to talk about what they are doing- This can get your members inspired to serve! žYou need to invite guest speakers to at LEAST 6 meetings over the course of the Key Club year. Why not start now?

Do something for Eliminate Week • May 2-6, 2016 • This would probably need to be a fundraiser. Hold your money back, and don’t turn it in to Kiwanis International until after June 30th. • If you can’t do something so soon……plan a project for either May or June • The goal is to raise $250 | Each club’s fair share of what’s owed for our international pledge to help Kiwanis
• Remember to remind people that Eliminate Week is the week before Mother’s Day for a reason! We can honor mothers world-wide.

Plan a Joint K-Family Board Meeting • Begin planning a summer-time joint meeting of the Key Club Board and the Kiwanis Board for planning better connections in the coming year • This is actually a MANDATED activity. It can be fun, too. You can do some get acquainted games together, as well as figure out ways to better connect your two clubs. • You could even make it a picnic in a park…… whatever works best for you, but YOU be the HOST.
