Football is winding down, so now what can we do with those free Friday nights? Well, it is about to be the holiday season and there are so many service opportunities in our area that you can participate in. There is Operation Support Our Troops, the Providence House, and the Salvation Army that need YOU to help bring that holiday spirit to everyone. So if your club or just you would like to help out in your free time, please contact me. Also, although a Gator at heart, I wanted to say congratulations to Byrd and Loyola for their outstanding seasons this year. Clubs, you can also think about a way to show your appreciation for those athletic teams that make your school proud.

KEY CLUB Division 9 newsletter
Prematurity Awareness Month On the International level, this month we have paired with the March of Dimes to bring awareness to a big issue in our lives. Each year in the United States, 1 in 8 babies is born too soon.
CONVENTION
Babies who are born prematurely often face more than an early birthday. Many spend a lifetime struggling with disabilities and health problems. In the United States, premature birth is the leading cause of death among newborns. Around the world, more than a million babies die each year after being born too soon. This November we are working with the March of Dimes to raise awareness and funds for programs that help moms have healthier babies. Prematurity Awareness Month kicks off on November 1 with the release of the fourth annual March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card. And volunteers around the country will host activities to raise awareness of the serious global problem of premature birth. To support our community’s moms and families, find out what you can do to host an event in the Youth Planning Guide. And on November 17, make sure you change your Facebook status to tell all your friends about the global issue of preterm birth, and invite them to get involved. If your club would like to create a fundraiser for this, raise awareness, or just simply donate on behalf of the club please go to marchofdimes.com for more information. But also, tell me what you plan on doing. I want to recognize your efforts and be able to say our division helped.
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. – William James
