Key Club Week gives you the opportunity to show your community what Key Club is truly about: service. Each day places an emphasis on service, to promote Key Club within our homes, schools and communities and to make Key Club a household name.

Do your part to make sure Key Club Week—Nov. 4-8, 2013—starts Kiwanis Family Month with a bang. Join other Key Clubs from around the world by following the suggested theme days. Not only will people learn more about Key Club, it is also another chance for you to grow your club in numbers, but also another chance for you to increase the service in your school!

Show your K in every way— Show people what Key Club is all about! Spread the word by wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key throughout the school with posters, announcements, a lunch booth, toilet talk, promote and spread the word of Key Club in any way you can!

Kudos to the Key players— Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teachers, advisors and other Key players. Write thank-you notes, host an appreciation dinner or do something uniquely your own style to recognize the contributions of these special people.

Connect the Ks— Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and is a member of the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or Aktion clubs and team up for a joint service project.

Bring a friend to Key Club— More members = more service. Increasing the amount of service Key Club performs increases the impact Key Club has on the world.

Bring a friend, or two, or more to your next Key Club meeting.

Your way— This is your club’s chance to do its own thing and make its mark.

Pick a project, plan a recruitment party or combine activities from the other Key Club Week days. Whatever idea you choose, take it and run with it.

Note: These days are interchangeable - be creative!13

KEY CLUB

KICKOFF This past September and October, I’ve had the privilege of visiting some of the clubs within our division (one of my favorite part of my job.)

Club Spotlight

For their fall fundraiser, GHS Key Club put together a class competition together as an incentive to raise as much donations and awareness as possible for the Eliminate Project. The fundraiser was featured in a pep assembly to raise school-wide awareness.

In only three days of starting the fundraiser, GHS Key Club has raised over $200 for the Eliminate Project. The class competition will go on until the first week of November in hopes of raising $4,000 for the cause.

Have you ever watched the Portland Macy’s Day Parade on Black Friday? Ever wondered who the people underneath the costumes were? Well if so, the people in those costumes are actually members of Century High School Key Club. The 59-or-so key clubbers that volunteer to make the event happen wake up VERY early and commute to Portland on the Max at around 6am or so. Not only are these members dedicated to entertaining the Portland-metro community, this parade also happens to be one of the club’s largest fundraisers, which raise over $1,500 so that Century Key Club can continue to function as a successful Key Club.

17

DIVISION 65 DE This year, instead of having club T-shirts, the Division 65 Board decided to have EVERY Key Clubber from Division 65 wear the exact same design. That way, people will know WHO exactly division 65 is, and WHAT we do.

Together, under one shirt, we can UNITE as a division and show off our pride for service.

Design contest will go on until October 12th and voting will begin promptly after. If you have any designs, please email it to div65tshirtcontest@gmail.com!

ESIGN CONTEST Please join the Division 65 FB Group and vote on your FAVORITE design!

Happy Voting!

I highly encourage every Key Club in our division to form a team and actively participate in raising funds and jumping in the Polar Plunge this next February 8th. The Polar Plunge is a HUGE fundraiser for a really great cause that hits close to home for many of us who have family or friends with special needs, but not only that, this event is SUPER fun!

Last year, Glencoe Key Club chose the Polar Plunge for their Winter Fundraiser to raise funds for Special Olympics Oregon. The club raised over $1,000 for the cause through a series of bake sales and door to door fundraising in the span of two weeks. This year, GHS Key Club will be partnering up with the Buddy Club (engaging special needs students) and the Kindness Matters Club to raise funds for the Special Olympics, but also to Spread the Word to End the Word.
