End of the Year It is sad to say that 2016 has officially come to an end and I can say that this has truly been the best year full of incredible memories, incredible relationships with amazing people, and rewarding opportunities to learn and grow as a person and lieutenant governor! I hope that we keep making incredible memories and positive changes in our homes, schools, and communities! J Monthly Report Forms: Each month, it is mandatory that each club officer fills out a report. If you have not already filled out the report you can access the form here, just fill out the form and submit. You guys are awesome!
A Word From Me To You Never settle. Always fight for what you want. But when you do always go with positivity and kindness.

2016 Recaps Fall Rally Recap The 2016 – 17 Fall Rally for Division 7 was combined with Division 8 lieutenant governor: Itzel Antillon. It took place on Saturday September 24, 2016 in Glenwood Springs at the Glenwood Hot Springs from 4pm to 6pm. Itzel and I presented a powerpoint and talked about the levels of Key Club, Key Club dues, Key Leader, the Thirst Project, and did ice breakers with the members to get to know each other. We also did an officer training with all new officers in order to help them be great leaders and grow as individuals. After the presentation and officer trainings we were able to have a incredible time at the Glenwood Hot Springs! Overall, the 2016 -17 Fall Rally with Division 8 was a great success filled with great memories and rewarding opportunities!
Key Leader Recap Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership program for today’s young leaders. Key Leader is a lifechanging event that focuses on service leadership and leadership-development experience. There are large and small group workshops, discussions, and team building activities in where the participants can have the opportunity to learn leadership skills, explore leadership in a whole new way, make amazing new friends, and have the best experiences that will be unforgettable.

Key Club Dues Dues are the determining factor in a club’s status in the district. A club in ‘Good Standing’ is one which pays their dues on time. The Rocky Mountain District dues are $12. $5 are District dues and $7 are International dues. Clubs can begin paying dues on October 1st. Early Bird dues are due by November 1st. Regular dues are due by December 1st. Clubs submitting properly completed invoice and membership roster forms and appriopriate membership fees on or before November 1st, will also recieve an “Early Bird” patch for the Key Club’s banner.
If your club has not paid dues by February 1st, your club will be suspended. If your club did not pay dues last year, and you haven’t paid dues by October 1st of the following year, your club will be considered inactive. This means that you no longer receive any resources from the Key Club International Office. If your club did not pay dues last year immidiately get in contact with me or click here for further help on what to do. All contact information is listed below.
