A Message From Your LTG

Hey everybody, It’s Key Club Week!! I would like to thank all the Kiwanians, Key Club advisors, and all our members for the time and effort you put into this organization. Together, we have been able to make such a big difference for our community and we will continue doing so. I hope all of you are enjoying this sweater weather. It sure has been quite chilly lately, but this is the start of our holiday events. Thanksgiving is coming up, so be sure to look into opportunities to help out with your local food bank or shelter. They will be needing a lot of volunteers for the upcoming holidays. Also, I hope everyone had a super fun Halloween and successfully Trick-ortreated for Unicef. Keep up the good work! I am so proud of my clubs and so thankful for all that you do.

Have you ever been to the Stock Show and thought it was a amazing event? Well, this is a great opportunity for you to be a part of it! This year, The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is asking for Spanish/English speaking bilingual volunteers to help with the Best Of Mexico Celebration on January 18th.

This day is also the 100th year anniversary of our K-Family, so it would be a wonderful event for all of us to join together and participate in it. We will be able to work with the community and learn about the Mexican culture, as well as enjoy the lively atmosphere of the rodeo. Here is all the information that I have gathered so far, and will be updating on: Best of Mexico Celebration Location: Will Rogers Memorial Center Time: 10am– 7:30pm (4-5 hour shifts) Date: January 18th Attire: Kiwanis/ Key Club shirt and closed toed shoes



Volunteer Process:  Fill out an application and then a background check Attend the volunteer training and walking tour on January 10th (time TBA)  Parking is a premium, so it is best to carpool or get dropped off  Arrive on time for your shift on Janurary 18th About 50 volunteers needed max for the event 12 volunteers per shift. You all will be paired up with a partner. **Please contact me ASAP if your club is interested

WHAT:

These ads would be put in the convention booklet for 2000+ people from Texas and Oklahoma to see. If you choose to purchase the digital ad, it will run in a power point for all attendees to see during opening session.

All ad orders MUST be sent in by January 2nd.
