Monthly Message from your Div.5 Lt. Governor: Hope Carter
Hello my Lovely Key Clubbers! I absolutely loved this month and helping y’all get the year started! Seeing all the clubs put in all this hard work makes my heart happy. With that being said, we got to continue our strong start, bring in members, and retain them! I sent emails on promoting your club, how to have a good first meeting, and start to the year! Use these and me as a resource. I know division 5 can be the strongest it’s ever been if we do so! Also, please please please understand the importance of the Fall Training Conference! If you cannot attend I understand but it will have to be made up by Nov. 14th if that is the case. I promise it will be lots of fun! See y’all soon and stay in
communication. Yours in service,
Hope Carter
Fact of the month: I joined Key Club my sophomore year of H.S. and have loved it ever since!
Here is the agenda for conferences this month. Each president should email me a date and time that is good for a conference by the 20th of each month. If you have not emailed me by that date I will start calling. I want to have a conference with each president by the 31st of each month. I promise calls won’t last long and I just want to do this so that there is a stream of communication with all of my clubs. These contribute to Key Clubbin’ Correspondence awards (KCC Awards) so please participate. Agenda -How are you? -How are officers, advisors, and Kiwanis working together? -Does your club send in reports and newsletters? -Have you updated contact info. on TO website? -How did your first meeting go? or What are your plans for the first meeting? -Do you want to work towards DCON? -Do you understand the importance of FTC? -Are you aware of the dues collection and turn-in process? -Are you participating in the YOF? -Do you want to help with the divisional project? Does your club have interest? -What can I do for you?

ELIMINATE In my last newsletter I told everyone about the Eliminate project so this month I have a challenge…
I want each club to try and raise at least $250 plus dollars toward eliminate all the way till DCON at the end of April. If we can do that we would raise $3000 dollars as a division for Eliminate and save $1666 babies and their mothers! I promise to help along the way! Be on the lookout for ideas to raise money for the project. I will post mini ideas here each month.
This month’s idea… Create a piggy bank to raise funds for eliminate that people can drop money in at your meetings. You could even have a drawing and those who donate could be entered to win a prize! Shout out to Bandera for the lovely eliminate jar they made!
