RMD Division 16 January News What I’ve Been up to Hi everyone! I hope this newsletter finds you all doing well and that you’ve had a great first month of 2017! This month I have been working on starting off my last semester of senior year, as well as finishing up my college applications (thank goodness!). As we head into 2017, I encourage you to think about your goals in Key Club this year and if you’re a senior like me, to think about the legacy that you want to leave behind. I’ve been starting to think about what I would like to accomplish by the end of my term, and I’m excited to see my goals become a reality in the new year!
In this Issue: Spring Rally Call to convention Colorado Feeding Kids Children’s Miracle Network Social Media
Spring Rally What is Spring Rally? Spring Rally is an event where the Key Clubbers in our division will get together to celebrate all things Key Club! We will have food, fun icebreakers, and exciting presentations. We will also be electing our new Lieutenant Governor, so if you want to have a say in who will represent you on the District Board, or if you wish to run, make sure to attend!
When and where is it? Spring Rally will be held on Friday, March 10th, at Fossil Ridge High School (5400 Ziegler Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80528) from 5:30pm to 8:45pm.
Why should I attend? Spring Rally is an awesome opportunity to meet Key Clubbers from all over our division! We will also be holding it with Division 13, so you can meet Key Clubbers from Wyoming too! In addition, it is important that your voice be heard in the elections for LTG, as this person will serve as the liaison between Division 16 and the Rocky Mountain District. Of course, if you wish the run for LTG, you must attend to participate in elections. If you have any questions about Spring Rally or the elections process, please contact me, I’d be happy to answer any of your questions!
That’s right, its time to start thinking about the most exciting Key Club event of the year-DCON! This year the Rocky Mountain District’s Convention will be held March 31st-April 2nd, at the Sheraton Denver West
Hotel (360 Union Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80228). At DCON, you will get to hear from great speakers, attend helpful workshops, and even elect your incoming District Executive Board! I can not say enough about how great of an experience District Convention is, and I hope to see you all there! You can register online at https://rmdkeyleader.regfox.com/rockymountain-district-key-club-dcon. If you have any more questions please feel free to contact me!
Colorado Feeding Kids The Fort Collins Eyeopeners Kiwanis are always looking for new ways to make an impact in their community. One issue that impacts Fort Collins, Colorado, is hunger. There are many different food drives the community hosts in the fall season, but the Larimer Country Food Bank is always looking for donations and assistance.
Colorado Feeding Kids is an organization that was started by Ken Bradley. Ken is a Kiwanis member himself so the Rocky Mountain District has a history of working with the organization and making an impact. In 2016 the Fort Collins Eyeopeners hosted Ken and his team and worked with Kiwanis clubs from across Northern Colorado to pack 21,500 meals that were distributed to both the Larimer County Food Bank and the Weld County Food Bank. In 2017 the event will be hosted at the Larimer County Food Back for a second year. We will be packing meals on Saturday, April 29, 2017 starting at 10:00am.
Please share this information with your clubs as we want as many volunteers as possible! For more information and to sign-up you can visit http:// fortcollinseyeopenerskiwanis.org/volunteer-with-us/colorado-feeding-kids-mealpacking-event-sign-up/.
