Hello Key Clubbers!

It has certainly been a crazy month but y’all remind me every day about how blessed I am. My term is soon coming to an end and I am looking for someone to take over the legacy of division 5. We have moved forward in strides and we need to continue that way.

If you want to go further in Key Club and be Lt. Governor talk to me as soon as possible and I will help set you up for success before the day of election in less than a month.

Also, DCON is almost here and you need to start making plans for that.

Officer election should be taking place next month as well.

Fact: I love having fun and hanging out with my brothers and sisters!

Conferences for January AWARDS 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. These contribute to Key Clubbin’ Correspondence awards (KCC Awards) so please participateď Š.

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 many are interested in going to DCON? -What fundraisers do you have for DCON? -Are you going to the DEC and do you have delegates?

-Have you turned in dues?

-What are you doing to participate in the divisional project?

-What are your future service project plans?

-Do you know if someone in your club is planning on running for Ltg? -Have you informed your club about officer elections next month?

-What can I do for you?

DCON is only months away (106 days to be exact) and it is time to start planning! Please start getting a count of how many people are going in your club so that we can plan properly as a division!

We would like to take a group bus and we would need to fill 35 seats as a division. It will cost about $100 dollars per seat.

When you get a count please email me asap.

Time is ticking!

Team Hook or Team Pan? You Decide!

The official information on how to register will be released on the tokeyclub.com website soon. This will include the formal information about DCON and what you need to do to get there!

KIWANIS MEMBER OF THE MONTH Thank you Lt. Governor Katie Wilson for the great idea!

Ron Njus is the Kiwanis Lt. Governor of division 5 and has been a supporter of the Key Clubs since before the start of his term! He always tries to attend JECA events and always makes sure that our Key Clubs stay strong. Thank you Lt. Governor Ron Njus for all you do!

Remember to visit your Kiwanis and talk to them frequently!

ARE YOUR DUES IN? Dues are officially past due to Key Club International at this point so if you have not sent them in please notify me and I will make sure we get them in as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, if your club has not paid dues you cannot register for DCON or apply for any district positions until they’re paid. I do not want this to be the case so I will work with you to fix this. Congratulations to all 8 clubs that have paid! .
