We can meet up or you and your club officers meet and look through the yearbook and find out which students you see as potential key club members. Look up their house or parents phone number and leave a message saying something nice like “ Key club international is one of the largest student led community service clubs and we would like to cordially invite (students name) to be a part of our club . Our first meeting will be __________, please take this opportunity to join Key Club International”

Connect with your Kiwanis Club Kiwanians are there for us!

We should always speak with them not just when they financially support our key club!! We should always appreciate everything they do, they are adults coming together to serve! It is our duty as key clubbers to keep in touch with our K-family!
