KEY CLUB PLEDGE I pledge on my honor to uphold the objects of Key Club International; to build my home, school, and community; to serve my nation and God; and to combat all forces, which tend to undermine these institutions. “Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create a sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world.” ―Nathaniel Hawthorne
Lieutenant Governor Letter
ARE YOU INTERESTING IN RUNNING FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR? Almost half of our Key Club year has flown by and I’m so proud of all the incredible work that each and everyone of you have been putting into changing our community. My biggest thing to talk to you guys about is the DEC which will be held during a weekend in January. Any and all Key Clubbers who are interested in running for Lieutenant Governor, please let me know ASAP so that I can get you more information on what it means to be LTG. During the DEC, each club will have 4 voting delegates that will be able to cast their votes after each candidates has presented their 3 minutes speech and then had 2 minutes of questioning. As chairwoman of the election, I will cast any tie breaking vote. One person may be nominated by each club to run and will have to provide the signed paperwork that will be sent out as we draw closer to the event. This job is a LOT of work, but it is overwhelmingly rewarding. Come to the next DCM on November 22nd for more information! You’re all incredible people, keep up the hard work!
DISTRICT UPDATES Hey T-O Key Clubbers! The December/January Tex-OKey Theme is winter! Email appropriate fun facts and/or jokes/riddle relating to this theme for extra 5 points if it is published in the Tex-O-Key. Always send any photos following the photo criteria for 1 point per photo published in the Tex-O-Key. Hey, Texas-Oklahoma Key Clubbers! Here are your November Tex-O-Key suggested article prompts: • Describe your fundraising efforts for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. If you do not participate in Trick-orTreat, describe a fundraiser you have done in support of UNICEF. • Since the start of the school year, what has been your favorite service project? Why was it your favorite, and what did you learn? • Provide tips for how a club can become part of T-O’s Top 25 Clubs. • Describe your latest events for the Children’s Miracle Network. If you have not done a service project for the Children’s Miracle Network, describe your account of the latest event for ELIMINATE or March of Dimes. Hey T-O!! Congrats to all the clubs that are in the Top 25 for the second quarter! Remember that if you aren’t on the list, there are still two more quarters to go. I encourage you to work hard to serve your community and have fun in the process! The final list of the Top 25 clubs will be presented at District Convention in April.
