International Convention was a life-changing experience. I recommend that every Key-Clubber attend at some point during their membership. It is a trip filled with a multitude of fun activities that you will share with not only key clubbers from your district, but from around the world. As expected, it is similar to District Convention in that there are workshops that teach I-CON’s attendees skills: how to get their club to be more engaged in their community, how each level of the K-Family operates, and even practical skills like CPR. It is also a good opportunity to better acquaint oneself with the district board. So, if you’re interested in attending next year International Convention, in San Antonio, Texas, please contact me at: rockymountainltg12@gmail.com for more information.

What’s That? Key Club has paired with a new service initiative known as the Thirst Project! As announced at ICON, this organization’s mission is simple: Build a sociallyconscious generation of young people who END the global water crisis. This will be accomplished by educating students, activating them to “rock the clean water cause” and build real water projects all over the world.
Why Water? Health and Sanitation: Waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than AIDS, Malaria, and all world violence combined. Small children typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis. For more information please visit https://www.thirst project.org/

You will always find me in the past. I can be created in the present, but the future can never taint me. What am I?
What belongs to you but others use it more than you do?

At International Convention there are special positions given to elected individuals to serve on the International Key Club Board and oversee all Key Club districts. This position is known International Trustee.
At this past ICON, in Atlanta, Georgia, Rocky Mountain had the pleasure of having one of its own be elected as such: Ms. Audrey Dilgarde, former Lieutenant Governor of RMD’s Division. Those individuals in this position are given a number of Key Club districts to oversee. Unfortunately, a trustee cannot oversee their home district, so Ms. Dilgarde will no longer be attending RMD events. On the other hand, we do have the honor of working with another equally qualified Trustee from the Pacific Northwest District.

Fall Rally is just around the corner! Saturday October 8th has been set as the date for the event and the location, as of now, is JohnMaul High School in Walsenburg, but that may change. It will cost 5 dollars per person to attend, and the August Newsletter will discuss Fall Rally’s agenda and preparation in more detail. So please just be weary of the date and location, so travel arrangements can be made in advance.
There will be a president’s meeting September 10th through Google hangouts for division 12 to discuss and finalize Fall Rally. I will contact the new presidents and their sponsors to work out those contact details. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
