Every year the lieutenant governor has to organize a project for the clubs in their division. My idea this year involves helping women and children in the developing world to become successful entrepreneurs through micro loans, or in better words, revolving funds. I have recently met with Mrs. Nicole Minor, the founder of the Pangea network. After discussion of my idea we agreed each of the 7 clubs in division 9E would have to raise $500 for a total of $3500. This initial $3500 will support a group of 25-35 of female entrepreneurs in Kenya get their business going. Each club in our division will be able to track the progress and success of these women. We will even get to do activities like write letters to these women/ We will discuss this further on September 23rd at College Park High School. More details to come then. This means each and every club will need a creative way of raising money. Follow this link for fundraising ideas from key club, and please be thinking about how you want to fundraise for this, this upcoming year! Feel free to ask me any questions you have! I am so pumped to be able to do this project. We plan on it being available to start in September. http://tokeyclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Fundraisin g-Ideas.pdf

Download the Key Club App! We welcome you to the Key Club App! The app was recently created as a unique space for members to track upcoming club meetings, service projects, and total service hours. Here are three things you should know about the app! 1. The app is primarily for students to track their service hours and record the service projects they completed. 2. Officers can share meetings and projects. Club officers (president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, editor, and class directors) may upload club meetings and service projects and members will receive notifications about these events. In order to have access to this feature, advisors need to make sure club officers’ information is current and correct in the Membership Update Center. Remind club officers to use the same email address when registering for the app that is listed in the Membership Update Center. 3. Advisors Can use the app. Advisors can download the app and set up a profile as a member of a club. Then, the advisor can receive notifications of meetings and events or track personal service hours. More information can be found at: http://www.keyclub.org/fad/AdvisorAdministrator Resources1/Using_the_Key_Club_App.aspx
