Hey Division 14!

I am so proud of all of the work our division has done so far this service year If you look towards the bottom of page 8, you will see the great progress we have made on our goals! Amazing job to all of you that have contributed to those.

Divisions 13-21 successfully hosted our Regional Fall Rally on zoom in November. Many Key Clubbers attended and had a wonderful experience--hopefully you did! Please keep an eye out for more information about our annual Leadership Training Conference being held March 31-April 2nd, 2023!

This is also the time of year to be considering running for higher office! If you have any inquiries about this and it's amazing opportunities please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any current member of the Executive Board.

Yours in Service,

Kiwanis Luncheon Kiwanis Luncheon

On November 8th Key Club members attended and volunteered at the annual Kiwanis Luncheon. The luncheon is a time for senior citizens from town to gather at the Elementary School for a homemade lunch and live music. Key Club members helped set the tables and and serve food. Many of our Key Club members are also in the Sentinel Big Band, our school's Jazz Ensemble. The Jazz Band played five holiday jazz songs for the attendees as they ate. Overall the event went really well and we cannot wait for next year!

The Kiwanis Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation supports and advocates for child victims of Lyme Disease, which is caused by bacteria usually transmitted by the deer tick and can lead to complications if not immediately treated. Most insurance companies do not pay for Lyme Disease treatment, so the foundation helps lower the cost of treatment for children with the disease. For more information click here.
