MINNDAK QUACK KEY CLUB WEEK This year we showed our Key Club pride by celebrating Key Club Week from November 5th to the 9th. To start off the week, Monday was “Show your K” Day. Key Clubbers pulled out their favorite Key Club apparel to wear all day.

Tuesday was “Kudos to the Key Players”, where key clubbers showed their appreciation to all the individuals who support their key club endeavors. On Wednesday, “Dare to Care” Day key clubbers did what they do best, volunteer!

On Thursday, key clubbers put a smile on others’ faces for “Random Acts of Kindness” Day .Lastly, for “Connect the Ks” Day, key clubbers met up with their Kiwanis counterparts to bring together their entire Kiwanis Family. MinnDak is definitely looking forward to next years Key Club Week!

FALL RALLY 2018 RECAP MinnDak's 2018 Fall Rally event was a huge success! This was the first year it was held at the Mall of America, and we had such an amazing turn out! From service projects, to officer training, to lessons on how to get a date! To say this was a fun day is an understatement! Hope to see you again at Fall Rally 2019!
