KEY CLUB May 2012
Hello Division 5 Key Clubbers, I hope everyone is having a great year so far and gearing up for summer. This is my first monthly newsletter that I will be sending out to all of the clubs in our Division and it will contain tons of important information that can help benefit you and your club. First off, I would like to start with discussing our first DCM of the year.
FALL RALLIES The new Wisconsin Upper Michigan Key Club Board have some amazing Fall Rallies planned for you this upcoming Fall. After the new school year begins officers and general members will get to attend one of three Fall Rallies that will be held throughout Wisconsin. There they will be trained as officers and members will learn all about Key Club and the K-Family. You will also get the chance to meet your fellow Key Club members from around the District.

Need a Service Project Idea? How about a Food Drive The Yell and Tell program has been developed by Jean Davidson. When Jean’s 4 year old grandson, Ryder, died in an accident that could have been prevented if the child standing nearby would have known how to react. Because of this and learning of similar losses, Jean has developed a program called “Yell and Tell." Go to www.yellandtell.com to learn more.
