FEBRUARY NEWS KEY CLUB DIVISION 14 NEWSLETTER

In IN THIS ISSUE

It’s been a long time There are less than 100 days left in my term as Lieutenant Governor, and as sad as I am to see the end come, I’m glad that I was given the opportunity to be Division 14’s Lieutenant Governor.

Besides the cold weather, February is a favorite month of mine. I really enjoy how positive people tend to be this month since the new year just started and they’re working really hard to stick to their resolutions.

Spring/Summer 2016 will be packed with Key Club events including Spring Rally, DCON, and ICON, so start getting ready!!!

It’s been a long time Monthly reports Spring rally DCON

Monthly reports I will continue to remind you all of Monthly reports because of their importance to the board, as well as to you. Monthly reports helps us, the board members, stay updated and aware of how your club is doing!

The deadline for monthly reports are the last Thursday of each month! This month, the deadline is the 25th!

To access the form, please visit the Rocky Mountain Key Club website at rmdkeyclub.org, hover over the ‘Resources,’ select ‘Club Monthly Reports,’ fill out the form, and submit!

ICON Divisional council meeting Help wanted Final thoughts

Spring rally Fall rally went off without a hitch, and myself as well as Division 9 and 11’s Lieutenant Governors had a lot of fun planning and having it!

Spring Rally is a bit different from Fall Rally since Spring Rally’s main focus is to elect a new Lieutenant Governor!

Spring Rally is scheduled to be on the 2nd of March, which is a Wednesday, so please mark your calendars.

It is crucial that a new Lieutenant Governor is elected for Division 14, so that Division 14 is represented on next year’s District Board.

DCON Throughout our board term, we, the board members, work tirelessly to ensure that DCON goes off without a hitch and that you, members of the Rocky Mountain District, have an amazing DCON. Even though it’s February, it’s never too early to begin thinking about how to finance your club’s trip to DCON and to start advertising DCON. DCON is where club members can attend forums and vote on policy or bylaw changes in House of Delegates, but the most important thing is the election of the executive District Board, which occurs during House of Delegates.

So, please keep DCON in mind as you’re planning your club’s spring schedule.

ICON Once the DCON season dies down, and all of the club members are out of school, ICON commences.

ICON is the convention that is facilitated by the International Board, and this year it will be held in Atlanta, Georgia!

Attending ICON is incredibly important since it’s where the next International Board is elected and Bylaws and Policies can be changed in House of Delegates.

ICON is also a great place to meet other key clubs from beyond the United States!

We, myself and the Lieutenant Governors of Division 9 and 11 had a good turnout for Fall Rally, but our goal is to increase attendance of Spring Rally!

So, any and all key clubbers of Division 14, please attend Spring Rally.

Divisional council meeting I would love to have a Divisional Council Meeting sometime soon!

I’ve already emailed advisors and I’ve asked them to inform their Presidents and Officials about my request for a Divisional Council Meeting and I’m waiting for their replies.

Just like I originally planned, The meeting will be held at Conifer Public Library, from 1-3 PM. I will provide snacks and drinks!

A reminder of what Divisional Council Meetings are: a meeting between a Lieutenant Governor and the Presidents of the clubs in their division, or the officers, where the Lieutenant Governor is updated on the goingons of the clubs and planning of division wide service projects may happen.

Final thoughts

January was a good month! I went back to school and fell back into my routine of school, then homework, random activities, then school again.

Dave Harris (District Administrator)

I hope February is a good month for all of us, filled with new experiences and long lasting memories.

I’d like to remind you all that Spring Rally is coming up soon! March 2nd! And then DCON will shortly follow! So, it’s getting to the time where we should start raising money in order to send our clubs to DCON! As always, I’ll leave you with a quote:
