YOU
Hello Division 66 Family! September is finally upon us, which means that school is back in session! Now that those sweet summer days are behind us, it’s time to hit the books and get back to work. To the newcomers – the freshmen, the new members, the new advisors – welcome to the Key Club family! Key Club is an extraordinary club to me. Not only is it a chance for me to do something productive during my high school career, but also it allows me to connect with the more caring group of teenagers, garner leadership skills I would never learn elsewhere, and rekindle my passion for service. You see, Key Club is more than just a service club—it’s a network of hardworking young adults striving to better their homes, schools, and communities. It just so happens that we’re also the most fun, spirited people you’ll ever meet. I hope you grow to love
this international organization as much as I do. To the oldies – welcome back to another wonderful year of service! It makes me so happy to see you all returning for another year with our unique organization. Now that you’re the experienced members, I challenge you all to go above and beyond this year. Go outside of your comfort zone. Attend more projects and events. Meet new people. Lend a hand where needed. But most of all, I challenge you all to inspire the underclassmen in our club. It is them who will continue to grow our clubs when we are all gone. Be their role model and inspire them to grow as leaders and individuals. It has been a pleasure seeing you all throughout the summer, but now it’s time to get back to business. Start off by giving your officers a HUGE round of
applause thus far. officers h attending ensure th shape. Gr
With all yet to int you who is Brian Clackam the uniqu Division Lieutenan members, extend a all. I lo know you
In closing all the be Yours In

TO THE NEWBIES:
WHY I LOVE “I love Key Club because of change. The change that has affected me, and my friends. I have grown in spirit, love, maturity, and passion. Amazing traits that help me appreciate life a little more. Amazing traits that help me continue to serve my home, school and community.”
“I love Key Club because it has made me who I am today. I have matured vastly by being a part of this club and have learned so many different leadership and social skills. Key Club has made me realize how much a group of high school kids with a passion can do. My passion for service has been ignited through this amazing experience. I also have met wonderful friends that I will value for the rest of my life. I can't thank everyone who is or has been a part of Key Club enough for making my experience so great and making my high school life something that I want to remember.”

Key Club has allowed me to create many friendships, and memories from service events I’ll never forget, while at the same time has shown me what it means to truly give back to the community. Most importantly, I love Key Club, because it’s changed my life for the better and has made me even more grateful for the things I have today. Key Club is life.”

My name is Maria Palazzolo, and I am so thankful to be your 2014-2015 Key Club International President! I was elected at the International Convention in Anaheim, California, about a month ago. It is a privilege to serve you and the rest of our 267,000 members.

As Key Clubbers, we have a unique perspective of the world. We, as teenagers, get to make lasting impacts within our communities and throughout the world. I find it absolutely amazing that our organization is made of so many selfless individuals with one mission: to positively change the world. As your International President, one of my main goals is to make Key Club International more accessible to provide more ideas and opportunities to make your club the best it can be. This can be
We will also be promoting the Eliminate Project, which is the Kiwanis family’s campaign to raise $110 million by the end of 2015 to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the face of the planet. It nears its completion at the end of the year, and we need to work tirelessly to meet our goal. I will work with our International Vice

I hope to see all of you at our International Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, next summer! Imagine 2,000 people who are just as focused on helping others as you are. It’s an absolutely amazing time. If you have any questions about Key Club International, International Convention, or would just like to talk to me, feel free to email me! Have a great year, and thank you for all that you do in your homes, schools, and communities! Yours in service,

This is, well, the new school year! It’s a chance for a fresh start. It’s a chance for new beginnings. It’s a chance to try something different. “Speak louder than the words before you And give them meaning no one else has found The role we play is so important We are the voices of the underground”
We are Key Clubbers and we make a difference every single day. We give meaning to the words we say through the actions we do. We give voice to those who don’t have the ability to speak up and make a difference in their lives. Think about all the new ways you can impact your community this new year!
