K- Fam Kaitlin Medina

The Kiwanis-family is a big one, and Key Club is right in the middle of it. The Kiwanis-family is made up of six branches: KKids for elementary school, Builders Club for middle school, Key Club for high school, Circle K for college, Aktion Club for adults with disabilities, and Kiwanis. All of these branches arel connected by their persistent love of service and their community. It is important for Key Clubbers to maintain an everlasting relationship with their other Kiwanis-family clubs and the Kiwanis-family Relations Committee is able to aid you in that journey! Through the plethora of resources we create, all Kiwanis-family clubs are invited to use these, so we not only improve our communication with one another, but strengthen all relationships so we can work together on the service we perform

The Kiwanis-family Relations Committee has and is a useful resource, especially in these upcoming months as school gets back in session To make it easier for you, we have compiled the best of our resources into our Linktree, including a Joint Kiwanis-family Directory where contact information for each Kiwanis-family club can be found, a Kiwanis Family Chartering Guide, a resource drive with past webinars, graphics and more! You can access these resources at https://linktr.ee/kfamcommittee

This summer is a great time to reach out to other clubs, especially your local Kiwanis Club. It is also time to start off strong and think about upcoming service projects and events that can be done together in your community! I hope these resources provide you with ample information about the Kiwanis-family and will greatly benefit you and your club. If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to us at kfam@pnwkeyclub org, we are here to help!
