Happy December Division 38! I can’t believe there is only about three months left until the start of a new Key Club year! As it is getting closer to the middle of the school year, finals are approaching. What else is approaching? The end of my term as Lieutenant Governor of Division 38. In January, we will be having an Election Rally to elect the new Lieutenant Governor for our Division. If any one of you are interested in running for this position for next year, please contact me immediately as soon as possible.

Care cards Members needed: 3+
A great service project to incorporate into a club meeting Fashion handmade holiday, birthday or sympathy cards for members of your community or donate to your local Children’s Miracle Network hospital. Write encouraging or inspiring messages inside each card and deliver as necessary. Remember to sign each card as “From the members of our local Key Club.”
Bright, shining service Members needed: 3-5+ Take an afternoon to brighten the classrooms and corridors of your campus…literally. Gather a few members of your Key Club and equip them with glass cleaner, towels and everything else needed to cut through the grime on the windows.
School supply drive Members needed: 1+ Having all the necessary supplies to complete the year is vital to the academic success of every student. However, many young students in our communities go without each year. To address this, your club can host a drive to collect new or gently used supplies at the beginning and end of each school year. Supplies can then be donated in bulk to a local elementary school, since they’ll know how to distribute them best.
Registration deadline:
FEBRUARY 1ST.
