What is Key Club
INTERNATIONAL?
Key Club International is a high school, student-led organization that provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character, and develop leadership. How do we provide service? We utilize volunteering/service projects, charity drives, and fundraising in our communities to better our society. How do we build character? When it comes to KCI, leadership, friendship, socializing, compassion, and spirit is a must. Which is done through socials, fall rallies, DCON, and several other events!

snickerdoodles! BY MODERN HONEY Ingredients: - 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened) - 1 1/2 cups Sugar - 2 large Eggs - 2 teaspoons Vanilla - 2 3/4 cup Flour1 - 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar - 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon Salt
Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Instructions: - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. - In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer. - Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined. - In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. - If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Roll into small balls until round and smooth. Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered. (To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle.) - Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.

Now that we have gone over all of the K-Families, I think it's time to introduce the partners outside of the organization that help and support our purpose!
SERVICE
Landscape Structures: Landscape Structures (LSI) has joined Kiwanis International as a vision partner to bring play to communities across the globe. LSI is proud to provide high-quality commercial playground equipment and planning consultation services that reflect the high degree of integrity that Kiwanis clubs expect.
Squads Abroad: Squads Abroad is a 501c3 international development organization that provides Key Club members with affordable service opportunities to volunteer virtually from home or abroad to make a meaningful impact in under-served communities through Health, Education, STEM or Business focused programming.
Nickelodeon: Nickelodeon currently presents two major campaigns each year that encourage action in kids globally. Worldwide Day of Play reinforces Nickelodeon’s mission to make the world a more playful place by leading active, playful events across the country. Nickelodeon’s Get Dirty campaign seeks to educate kids, families and teachers about what they can do to help protect the planet in fun, mindful ways.
10
Partners The U.S. Army: The U.S. Army empowers tomorrow’s leaders by offering advanced schooling for today’s top careers. Not only that, programs like the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and March2Success.com allow students to go to college debt free and excel in the classroom with helpful academic resources.
Project Happiness: Project Happiness inspires and empowers club members to create greater happiness within themselves and their communities addressing the bullying issue at its core. The Key Club Guide to Project Happiness shares exercises, discussions, games and tools based on Neuroscience, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness to re-wire the brain for happiness. Why does happiness matter? Happier people enjoy life.
Up with People: Up with People strives to develop a sense of social responsibility in their participants through hands on community service. Service projects are integrated into each city visited during the semester. By volunteering to meet the specific needs of each community, participants develop insight into how different cultures address social and political challenges.
KCorps: K Corps is Kiwanis International’s youth exchange program for Key Clubbers. It’s a great opportunity to experience a unique culture, provide service, make lifelong friends, and see spectacular sights half a world away! Participants are hosted by Japanese families, and scholarship opportunities are available.
11
Major March of Dimes: Since the 1940s, Key Clubs have worked with March of Dimes to make a positive impact in the lives of babies everywhere. Today, Kiwanis members continue that culture of service by supporting the March of Dimes all year long by hosting service projects, raising funds and educating communities about the crisis of preterm birth.
Children's Miracle Network: Members work together by sponsoring fundraising events and conducting service projects at their local children's hospitals. Contact your local CMN hospital and invite a representative to a club meeting to share ideas and create a partnership.
UNICEF: UNICEF is the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to children. Working with other United Nations bodies, governments and non-governmental organizations, UNICEF helps to provide for children’s needs in more than 150 developing countries through community-based services in primary health care, basic education and safe water and sanitation.
12
Diving deeper into service partners, here are a few more that KCI is mainly focused on this year!
EMPHASIS
Thirst Project:Â Thirst Project hopes to educate the next generation by arming students with information about how they can be a part of social change, make a difference and encourage others to join in the effort. The thirst Project mainly emphasizes on ways to bring clean drinking water to those who don't have immediate access to it.

TCEJORP
THE
Governor's AND WHAT IT IS
Yes, these project are
this was n
Bags of Hope:
A project geared towards addressing issues and
providing aid for the children in the Foster Care System. The Foster Care System is an underrepresented topic in the media, so it’s important that the members utilize their resources to help ADVOCATE and spread AWARENESS about the issues that foster care children face. Next, members would provide SERVICE for the foster care children by creating and donating care packages to local Department of Human Services and Foster Homes to help bring a smile to them during these times of uncertainty. With the help of the members of the Texas-Oklahoma Key Club District, the lives of foster children will improve with one care package at a time.
Activity Ideas:
Creating care packages that are required to
have a personalized letter, book, or hygiene product. Donating various gifts like books, toys, blankets, and clothing during the holiday seasons. Meeting virtually with foster children and mentoring or tutoring a child in foster care either in person or online, etc.
September's Monthly Challenge: Direct message Bags of Hope flyer designs to the @tokeyclub Instagram or post a social media post about the project with the name of your school and the hashtag #TOKeybagsofhope.

Activities: You can work with theres facilities is to hold birthday parties for children in the foster system, provide tutoring/mentoring, care packages for those going to new homes, helping the centers meet their needs (donate supplies), volunteering at children hospitals, volunteer to read to kids, donate books (Books for Africa: collect books for needy students in Africa), etc..
