Hello PA Key Clubbers! The new school year has officially begun for most of us and this means back to Key Club functions after 6 months off! There are plenty of ways your club can still participate in safe, service projects during the pandemic, some can even be done virtually! If you need any help with service project ideas, you can find a list HERE! .

While the excitement of Key Club may have begun, I also understand the stress and anxiety that may come with virtual learning, hybrid learning, or inperson learning. Whichever learning you are experiencing, it is, without a doubt, a huge change in routine that could be hard to handle. During these pressing times, it is so important to be taking care of yourself! Make sure to do something you enjoy and that makes you happy! If you have any questions or concerns, I am always available and an open ear!

Governor Ashley Wheeland

Hey Pennsylvania Key Clubbers!

These past two weeks have been full of lots of committee meetings and board meetings: from Georgia's Fall Rally to Ohio's August Board meeting, I've been quite busy!

I'm excited to announce an exciting opportunity for all District Board members excluding those on the Executive Board. You can be a member representative on an International Board committee! The application will be out soon, so stay tuned. If you haven't received my first September update yet, make sure to check your spam, because it's full of incredibly helpful updates!

As always, I'm always here if you need to reach out.

Talk to you soon!

Children's Miracle Network

The Children’s Miracle Network provided great care and dedication to children across the country for over 37 years. Each day, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals treat 16,200 kids with trauma, 935 with diabetes, 2,128 with cancer, 2,329 kids for surgeries, and 925 babies in the NICU. These hospitals make a difference in countless childrens’ lives and each day by providing the care they deserve. Because Children’s Miracle Network solely relies on donations for funding, your club can help by holding any fundraiser of your choosing and donating the proceeds to the Children’s Miracle Network. YOU can save a child’s life!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. I know school is starting up for most people, for me I'm going back in person to school on the 8th. However, some Key Clubs clubs are having to meet virtually instead of their normal routine. Nonetheless, don't let this discourage you there's still so much that you can do to help the community safely during this time! If you are struggling with finding ways to stay active please refer to the previous biweekly or contact me personally. The District understands that hours will be lower during this time however make sure you are filling out the monthly report form even if your hours are low. The monthly report form for June / July / August was due September 5th. The next one is due November 5th for the month of September. If you ever have any questions or have a problem with the form please contact me at sec-treas@pakeyclub.org.

Dues Dues for individual members are still expected. However, deadlines for payment have been cleared. Staff at International are aware that it may not be possible to convene clubs and therefore collect dues until much later in the year.

Therefore, the Kiwanis International Board of Directors has authorized staff to relax the normal December 1 dues deadline.

If clubs are currently in an active status and they are not able to pay their dues until sometime after December 1, their status will not change to suspended. If a club was in a suspended status last year, late payment of this years’ dues will not result in them being moved to an inactive status.

Lastly, clubs in an inactive status will not be moved to a charter revoked status.

Socials!

PA Key Club, Like many of you, I am back in school! Of course this comes with work and stress; however, it also comes with opportunity for a Key Club Year. I urge you all to try to meet with your club- and that can be in so many ways! You could do the traditional meet in person, virtual meeting, or get your officers together for a meeting.

Remember to balance everything and to do things you enjoy to not let stress overtake you.
