Georgia District Divisions The state of Georgia is broken up into smaller sections called “divisions”. Each division is elected a Lieutenant Governor (LTG) at Georgia’s district convention (DCON), which is held every year. Though elections occur annually, it is not guaranteed that each division will be elected a Lieutenant Governor each year. Clubs that are in each division are overseen/ advised by the elected Lieutenant Governor. Check out the 5 Divisions in Georgia!

Governor Virginia Byrd
Today, Key Club exists in 30 countries, with membership of over 250,000 in over 5,000 clubs. Growth efforts have taken the Key Club experience internationally to Canada, the Caribbean nations, Central and South America, and most recently to Asia and Australia. The Georgia District of Key Club International was established in 1919. The Georgia Key Club district has decided to once again be endorse the Georgia Sheriff’s Youth Homes as it’s District Project for the 2010-2011 year. They have decided to use the funds that they collect this year to go towards the expansion of the Learning Center at the GSYH Campus in LaGrange. The Georgia Key Club District Goal is to raise $20,000 for this project!
Making a Difference East Georgia Circle K is a club with huge hearts! Find out what this club is doing to change its community! The East Georgia College Circle K group has been quite busy in the past year. We have a small club, but we try to stay involved in our community. One of our biggest projects was The Pine Tree Breeze bike ride last April. All the profits that were raised from the bike ride were donated to the Herrington Homestead Sheriff ’s home for boys, in Emanuel County. We have helped with the Special Olympics every time they came to town. Last October, we cooked a chili dinner for the residents of the Ronald McDonald House in Savannah, Georgia. The groups from both East Georgia College Swainsboro and Statesboro campuses came. We had a chili cook-off with the residents being the judges. All together we had eighteen volunteers, which were a great help and an amazing turn out. We have many wonderful and dedicated volunteers in our group, but we would not be able to do any of this without our advisors. We would like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Carolyn Thomas and Mrs. Courtney Joiner for helping us make all of these things happen.

1. How many members does the UGA Circle K club have? There are about 30 members and we have new people coming to each meeting! 2. What are you planning for this semester for GSU Circle K? This semester we are planning to sponsor Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) and provide them a facility on campus to show a documentary on the violations of human rights in North Korea and what these individuals go through to try and make it to freedom. We’ve also been in talk with two local groups. One is Covenant Care, an alternative opportunity organization for pregnant women. The other is from Fostering Bulloch, an adoption agency, a group that just started a few months ago in Bulloch County. We are looking for ways to spread awareness for all these groups around the Georgia Southern campus and community. 3. What’s something that makes your club special? Something that makes our club special is the BBQ hut. It’s lots of fun to put on and a great opportunity to bond with our new members and Kiwanis. I believe that we are the only ones in the district that have an event like this 4. What’s your most memorable service project? My most memorable service project is the Six Cents Initiative fundraiser that we did last semester. It was fun and effective. We used water that was made to appear dirty by adding coffee and gummy worms to it to demonstrate that the water that some people have to drink in third world countries is really bad and unsanitary. We really got the point across and rose over $100. 5. What do you want GSU Circle K’s lasting legacy to be? I want team work, support, loyalty, and giving back to the community to be our lasting legacy. I feel that these are the components to be a successful organization. Without these no kind of service would get done. We all have to work together as one to accomplish our goals of helping out and giving back to our community.
Bring it on!

COLT COMING SOON!! Are You Ready?!
District Convention 2011 is coming up and that means it’s almost time to elect a new board for your club. The new board year starts April 1st, so elections should be before that time. To help these new club officers, the Georgia District puts on Club Officer Leadership Training (COLT). This is a day of training and workshops for new officers to learn more about their positions and what’s expected of them for the upcoming year. COLT is especially important because this one of the only opportunities for club officers to meet and develop contacts for future interclubbing events. This year will also be the first year where there will be a Northern and Southern COLT! Northern COLT will be held on April 2, 2011 at Kennesaw State University, while Southern COLT will be held April 16, 2011 in Macon. This will make it easier for more club officers to attend, so make sure your new officers know about this event. This year we want every club represented!

Fundraising $ $
n r o i B g!
doesn’t have to be Ever been stuck at a fundraising planning meeting with no idea how to proceed? Need ideas to put on a successful fundraiser? Well, your District Board is here to help! Below are a few ideas on fundraising projects that you can adapt for your school! If you can have any other ideas that worked for your club, send it in to me at bulletin@ georgiacirclek.org
Topless Car Wash! Okay, before your Kiwanis club has panic attack and someone calls the police, just know that no one is going to be naked. This is just a new spin on the old car wash fundraising event. A “Topless” car wash means that 1) the bottom of the car is washed free but a donation of $X is required if they want the top washed; 2) the entire car is washed except for the roof for $X and for an additional $Y you wash the top; or 3) convertibles with the top down (topless) get a free wash! No one wants just the top of their car washed, so this will definitely bring in some donations! If you hold this behind a local business, away from the street, lots of people will want to stop by just to take a look. Be prepared for lots of business!
Put on a Yard Sale!
This can be a one day event or you can have it more frequently. Asking club members and your community for donations is one of the first steps. Then, find a local church or business to the actual event. To attract more attention, you can even bring music and have it playing in the background! Make sure you categorize the items and set a reasonable price for each one. This won’t only bring in money for your cause, but you’ll have lots of fun!
A great way to have people pay to take out their anger is to put on a car bashing. For this to work, first check with your school for any special guidelines. Then, you’re going to need a donated stripped down salvage car, a sledgehammer, and some goggles and gloves. Most schools required the removal of all the glass and fluid, the engine and battery, and the gas tank. Also having a waiver to sign is good idea. Advertise for your “Smash-for-Cash” event, and have people pay to hit the car. This event works really well if you decorate the car with your rival schools colors! Don’t forget that your local Kiwanis Club may be willing to financially help out a Circle K club if they were approached. Local businesses are also a great option with fundraising nights where your club works some hours and they donate a portion of the sales to you. Just remember to think outside the box!

Parlimentary Procedure Tips!
Don’t understand Parlimentary Procedure? Well, here are some tip to help you out! :D What is Parliamentary Procedure? It’s a set of rules for conduct at meetings. It allow everyone to be heard and to make decisions without confusion! Putting A Motion On the Floor
To make a motion or an amendment to a motion, a club delegate must go to the microphone, be recognized by the presiding officer (the governor), state his/her name and club, then state the motion (or amendment to the motion). the motion (or amendment) is seconded from the floor. The presiding officer then place the motion before the floor before the House for discussion. The club delegate may speak to the motion (or amendment) first. Note: Once a motion is place before the House by the presiding officer, it is under the control of the house and does not belong to the delegate making the motion. For example, it cannot be withdrawn later without permission of the house.
Seconds to Motions
It is not necessary to agree wiht a motion to second it. A second only implies there is more than one person who wishes to discuss that motion.
Refer or Postpone
A motion to postpone or refer to a committee can be made while a motion or an amendment to a motion is pending.
Amendments to Motions
A motion that is on the floor may have two amendments pending at one time. However, the first amendment must relate to the main motion, and the second amendment must relate to the first amendment to the motion.
Close Debate or Call the Question
A delegate must go to a microphone and move to close debate or call the question. The motion needs a second, there is no discussion, and takes a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the delegates present and voting to pass. After the motion to close debate or call the question is approved, there will be an immediate vote on the pending motion.
Table a Motion
A motion to table (“lay on the table”) is not used to kill the motion on the floor and is not used to postpone consideration of the motion. If a delegate does not like the motion, s/he should vote againist it. If a delegate wishes to discuss the motion at another time, s/he can move to postpone or to refer the motion to a committee. there is not motion such as “table until xxx time.” (Instead, the correct motion would be “postpone until xxx time.”) A motion to talble is used only in an emergency.
