Back to School

September means back to school, and for many back to Key Club! For most, this year is a transition from virtual back to in person. When planning your events and meetings always remember the safety of all of your members and the rules set in place by your school. It's very exciting that clubs are returning to in person events, but make sure it's safe before you begin planning events.

Dues

Dues season is here!! Dues are $13 per member. $6 go to the New York District and $7 go to Key Club International. On top of the $13, clubs can also charge an additional $7 for clubs fees, but no member can pay more than $20. The date for Early Bird dues is December 1st, and the date for all other dues is January 1st.
