district project:
What is the ELIMINATE Project? The Eliminate Project is a joint project with Kiwanis and UNICEF to internationally ter-minate MNT. What is MNT? In 30 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Its effects are excruciating– tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too. Who suffers from MNT? MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach and those without health care.

For more than a decade, Key Club International has been supporting CMN by sponsoring fundraisers and participating in service projects involving CMN children’s hospitals.
division-wide service project:
TURKEY BASKETS
50 POINTS PER BASKET! The club with the most baskets will get 100 Dragon Cup Points! DUE: November 16th
LP A FAM E ! H ILY D IN NEE TURKEY BASKET CHECKLIST 2 boxes of stuffing 2 cans of cranberries 2 boxes of potato mix 2 packets of gravy mix 3 cans of fruit 3 cans of veggies 2 boxes of dessert mix $25 for turkey
As the holiday season is fast approaching and we are giving thanks for all of the things we have, we must consider that there are so many others within our very own communities that are much less fortunate than us. Students in our own schools and their families go without dinner on a daily basis. Imagine eating a moist, delicious turkey and hot apple pie on Thanksgiving; meanwhile, there are families in need, deprived of that same Thanksgiving dinner. Aware of this fact, every year, Hazen High School has a Thanksgiving “turkey basket” drive to give to impoverished families throughout the Greater Renton area. Last year alone, the school made about 207 turkey baskets. I’m requesting for each club to join in on this great service project. Set a goal and accomplish it! I will reward 50 Dragon Cup Points for each complete turkey basket. Think you can handle the challenge?
