Hello, Key Clubbers! Dear Key Clubbers of the Rocky Mountain District, I am so happy that you are reading this, or at least somebody is. My name is Ciana Burroughs, and I was elected to serve you for the 2016-2017 service year as the Rocky Mountain District Bulletin Editor. In this publication, the RocKey, I want all of us to take a look back on exactly what we accomplished this year, and what you, as a member, contributed to the world. I hope this publication will serve as a book of memories to you, and I hope that you will be able to find yourself in it. The members of any organization, and especially of Key Club, are the basis of its structure. If you’ve ever been to Key Leader, then you would know about the inverted pyramid of service, and if not, keep reading for the article on it. Anyways, what the inverted pyramid of service teaches us is service leadership, that is, that officers and those in standing are not served by the members, but instead serve the members. Your District Board has done its absolute best to serve you this past year, and so have I. Without you in particular, this organization would not be what it is today. Together, we have finally helped Unicef meet its goal for Neonatal Tetanus this year, and now we plan to change the world with the Thirst Project. Thank you for everything you do. As a fellow Key Club member, I want to share with you exactly what Key Club means. Key Club is caring, as the motto says, but it is also so much more than just that. Key Club is inclusive, helpful, and overall, making a change. I hope you will get more and more involved in Key Club, no matter where you currently are or what you already know about this organization. There is only one way to go, and that’s up! Once you see and really experience what Key Club is, then your eyes will open up so much more to what this organization is and stands for. When I came to DCON last year, I had no idea how huge and how truly special Key Club is. However, now I understand, and now I want you to understand as well. Any little action, no matter what is it, can be life-changing to someone in need. Nobody really knows what a person may be going through, how close they may be to breaking. Even if it is as small as complimenting them, helping them get across the street, or anything small like that, you could have just changed the entire world to that person. Be kind, be caring. As a last side note, I’d like to thank everybody who helped me in making the RocKey, and everybody who has made me who I am now. Caucusing last year, I was a shy, timid teenager. Since then, becoming Bulletin Editor, meeting and working together with the other board members and adults, and meeting you at any or all of the Key Club events has changed me. Thank you to all who I have met this past year, you are the reason Key Club is what it is; a life-changer. - Ciana Burrooughs Rocky Mountain District Bulletin Editor

July 6th – 10th Everyday from the 7th to the 9th had a specific lesson to learn July 7th – Courage to Engage Together in a general session, Key clubbers were put in groups randomly. Members were split up by giving us a playing card; all nines would be in one circle, all twos in another, then all kings and so on. Once sorted, every group had to complete a couple of interesting ice-breakers within their group while waiting to head to the back of the room. There, a board with three questions was taped to the wall; do you think your community is fine the way it is? What is one thing you can do to change your community? Do you think the world will be better in the future because of your actions? By the means of colorful stickers, everyone was able to say if they strongly agree, agree, are neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. The majority of the stickers disagreed with the first question, and strongly agreed to the third. The second was simply used as an idea board for everyone to get inspiration from for service
projects, as people wrote what they had done in their clubs. People took away many different things from this activity, but the main idea was to not be afraid of those who you do not know. They may be the ones who help you to change the world. July 8th – Call to Lead The next day, after a motivational presentation, sister-districts went to separate rooms for a specific forum that corresponded to the focus of the day. This was the Call to Lead. It began with meeting a new friend who you previously did not know, and asking them how they got into Key Club. After the ice-breaker, the speaker asked questions such as; do you ever feel comfortable and content just laying on the couch? Being comfortable is fine, but when your time comes to act, will you take the stand? Individually, members set goals for problems they would like to fix in their community. July 9th – Heart to Serve In a forum with sister districts again, partners from the previous day reunited to sit together for the last focus day forum. Taking our goals from the previous day, we were forced to think of ways to accomplish them. Everybody worked together to find solutions to each other’s problems. What is a problem you want to change? How will you do it? Who could you get help from in your community? Service is not merely a thing key clubbers do because it’s the main foundation of the organization, but instead it’s a way of life for everyone involved. Service should be beneficial to those around you, but also to yourself. Find something you enjoy; it could be anything from crafts, to sports, to cooking. There is always a way to help another person in need.
ICON Forums, Elections and Fun July 7th – 9th
Our New International Board! Devin Sun – President Mary Grace Lewis – Vice President West Canada International Trustees: Jessica Bae Missouri-Arkansas, Ohio, Rocky Mountain Audrey Dilgarde Capital, Montana, Michigan Tiffany Hang Pennsylvania, Indiana, Utah-Idaho Kino-Paul Hurlyington Texas-Oklahoma, Southwest, Bahamas Nicole Montana Kansas, Louisiana-Mississippi-West Tennessee, Pacific Northwest Shinbee Park Alabama, Kentucky-Tennessee, New Jersey Jojo Saunders Nebraska-Iowa, New York, California-Nevada-Hawaii KIWIN’S

Getting Down to Business Out of all of the different lectures and classes, ICON offered various forums that could interest any individual! Some included the Thirst Project, Make your passion your profession, the 7 Habits of highly successful Key Clubs, Youth making a global difference, and Key Leader 201, among thirty other workshops! Besides forums, workshops, and classes, Key Clubbers could also learn, and even make a difference in the House of Delegates. Using parliamentary procedure, just like in district events, motions were voted on, and either approved or shot down by all the members who were present. There were microphones on either side of the room, so that anyone could stand in line to speak and be heard by all. After a total of three and a half hours, one of the last acts of the 2015-2016 International Board was over.
Rocky Mountain District Tour July 3rd – 6th From beginning in a Pirate Inn restaurant, to ending up at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Museum, the Rocky Mountain’s District Tour made a full circle. As a group of about thirty key clubbers and Kiwanis members combined, we all landed in Atlanta, Georgia on July 3rd. After a very long bus ride, Savannah, Georgia came in sight. The entire group was awake most of the night getting settled in their beds, as well as getting to know their new roommates for the remainder of the trip. Early the next morning, everyone was dressed in their swimsuits and towels ready to hit Tybee Beach. Shops and restaurants littered the quiet streets, while the white sandy beach was the main attraction. Despite the refreshing Atlantic water, the sun certainly got to quite a few key clubbers, making sure to leave its red burns. After returning to the hotel for a quick rinse off, the afternoon was spent in the old town of Savannah. After shopping and exploring, a rich and delicious southern dinner in the Pirate Inn restaurant almost completed the night. What did make it whole, were the 4th of July fireworks exploding over the Savannah River lighting up the sky. As a last hurrah in Savannah, everyone loaded up on a trolley for a tour of the Historic District. The tour included everything from the stone brick roads, the redone factory buildings, the ancient houses of various important people in history, to the Pirate Inn from dinner the night before.
Then, the bus was packed once again for the trip back to Atlanta for ICON. While at ICON, in between forums and caucusing, the Rocky Mountain District toured CNN headquarters, along with the World of Coke. At CNN, key clubbers got an exclusive inside look on how the news is made, with the writer the reporters, and even to the editors. There were mics, as well as green screens and cameras for everyone to interact with. In the gift shop, there was merchandise from amazing TV shows, such as Game of Thrones and the Big Bang Theory, not to mention all of the Nickelodeon cartoons. After lunch in the food court, we walked our way to the World of Coke. On the way, the Olympic Park fountains were pouring serenely, besides being interrupted by joyous kids—as well as a few key clubbers. Either way, everyone was wet by the time we reached the dome due to a sudden rainstorm that we all had to race through. Once safely inside, a chilled plastic coke and glass coke was handed out freely to everyone. Drinking all along the way, we explored the different rooms and activities the separate hallways had to offer. There was a mixing machine to achieve the flavor of coke, a 4D movie, a securely locked safe with the secret recipe, along with many other attractions. The most loved—and busy—was the soda room, where all different kinds of pop from countries all around the world were available to try. From there, was a Coke gift shop that had apparel, souvenirs, water bottles, and even retainer cases.
Interested in what other people had to say about ICON? This is what these Key Clubbers thought! “You never realize how bright the light is until you find the source.” - Chase Ramos Division 12 Lieutenant Governor
“ICON was one of the best things I have experienced in life thus far. I was able to make friendships that will last a lifetime and I will never forget what I learned. I'm grateful for the experiences I had and for everyone.” - Emily Kingsford Division 2 Lieutenant Governor
“Never have I had an experience like this, the people you meet, the places you go, and the community you give back too is truly amazing.” - Chelsea Felton Division 10 Lieutenant Governor
International Trustee A message from Jessica Bae Greetings Rocky Mountain District, My name is Jessica Bae, and it is an honor to serve you as International Trustee for the 2016-2017 service year. First and foremost, a huge congratulations to the many hours of service! In my work to act as bridge between your district and International, I am inspired to work even harder to represent your voices and fulfill your needs. Traveling around the country, I see firsthand the positive impact you have in our world and the common value that unites all Key Clubbers together: a passion for service. So as we gather together to celebrate all of our phenomenal accomplishments, I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone to meet others, build your own Key Club legacy, and be inspired. And I hope that even after Key Club, you will continue to be leaders of the world, serving our home, school, and communities around the globe. Serving as your International Trustee has been one of the greatest honors of my Key Club experience. As I reflect on our journey together, I cannot help but feel bittersweet that time has flown by so quickly. But know that through this organization, you have a friend in every corner of the world, and you will always have a friend in me. In love and service, Jessica Bae

Fall Rallies Every autumn there is a divisional or multi-divisional meeting put on by the Lieutenant Governors for their division that include fun and communication. The purpose of Fall Rally is to get the division together and united as a whole for divisional service projects, as well as to give out information about upcoming divisional and district-wide events. It serves as an introduction to what Key Club is for new members, and can include service projects, forums, keynote speakers, or anything else that represents Key Club. It’s a pep rally Key Club style!

Key Leader October 14th – 16th and 21st – 23rd The Key Leader Weekend Although Key Leader only lasts two days, everybody comes home from either Roundup River Ranch or Windy Peak with a new family. Starting Friday night, and lasting until Sunday, the five main characteristics of a Key Leader are taught through lectures and hands on cooperation to high school students; integrity, growth, respect, community, and excellence. Attendance is open to anyone, and a person does not have to be a Key Club member to come, although they probably will be after the weekend. Friday night Key Clubbers are sorted into their groups, called neighborhoods, that they will have for the rest of the weekend. Every group has one student facilitator that has been through Key Leader at least one time before to help lead and guide them. Students come up with a name for their neighborhood, and illustrate a picture and come up with a chant based on their name to present, as well as make their mail boxes. With mailboxes, other attendees can come by and drop in a Key Leader Gram, or a nice note for another attendee. In these simple activities that focus on team work, Students are building their leadership skills. Then for the rest of the night and most of Saturday, lectures and other various experiences about the five Key Leader characteristics were used to teach attendees. At one point, neighborhoods got together to create their version of an ideal Key Leader. Perhaps it had fly eyes,
because a Key Leader can see everything, or perhaps it had big shoes or big ears, because it knew what it was like to walk in other people’s shoes or was a good listener. Every group came up with their own unique creature that illustrated integrity, growth, respect, community, and excellence. After doing the bookwork, students were sent out to the field to put what they learned to use in solving problems as a group. Two neighborhoods were combined for the ropes course that included walking on rope altogether and not letting anyone fall, and also standing on a giant log until everyone had balanced out evenly. That night, as everyone celebrated their day of fun, friendship and learning, here was free time up in the mountains. roups of newfound friends could wander up to the observatory, where they could watch the stars form the ground or look through magnifying telescopes to maybe catch a glimpse of a distant planet. If attendees did not want to hike up the hill to see, they could also go to a bonfire where there was music, roasted marshmallows, dancing and s’mores. The next morning, Sunday morning, everybody began to say goodbye as the final activity got underway. As a whole, everyone stood in a square and held hands and gave a shout out to somebody new that they had met just two days ago, and said a word that they felt. Some people said they felt sad that they were going, or happy that they had come, but either way, it was clear that the experience was impactful to all.
that they had come, but either way, it was clear that the experience was impactful to all.
The Story of Larry No matter which Key Leader you attend, you will hear a very moving story of a man. This man was named Larry, and what he did throughout his life was what made him well known; he collected money from anybody and everybody, whether he knew them or not, for a multiple of charities. anything from collecting spare change for veterans, to collecting spare change for third world countries, he contributed more than a substantial amount of money throughout his life time. Even though he himself had financial troubles, he gave everything he had to others, and was a true Key Leader.
Here’s what a couple other Key Clubbers had to say about Key Leader! “This year was my first time going to Key Leader, and I can’t wait to go back! I met some new people and got to hang-out with some older Key Club friends. The lectures made me think a lot about who I am as a leader and I absolutely loved the ropes course because it forced me to trust my partner.” - Megan Curry Division 5 Lieutenant Governor
“It’s a great chance to meet new people and form close bonds with others, even though it’s only a weekend event.” - Nicole Walsh Tech Chair
“Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the person who serves,
as well as the recipient. It's the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.� - Dorothy Height
Want some more ideas for Service Projects during the school year? Try these! The Thirsty Thirty Since Unicef has met its goal, Key Club International has now been partnered with the Thirst Project. One way to collect money for the Thirst Project, is to partake in the Thirsty Thirty. First, you begin with one envelop for every Key Clubber that is in your group, and write one, two, three, four, until you have filled up every envelope and there is an envelope for every Key Clubber. The numbers signify how much money has to be filled in every envelope. Let the students chose which envelope that they think they can fill within the week, and then collect it the next week! Kind Words Ever walk around your school and see notes on other people’s lockers? They may be for sports or clubs, but what about the kids who don’t participate in extra-curriculars? Divide the amount of kids in your school by how many Key Clubbers are in your group, and get to work. Have each Key Clubber find about ten or so inspirational or happy quotes, and copy and paste them for whatever number of kids they got. Print, cut, and have everybody meet back together after school one day with all of their quotes, to tape them to every person’s locker. Dog Running Are you in a sport along with Key Club? Instead of a regular practice, go to a local animal shelter and take the dogs for a run. That way, both you and your furry pal get exercise and fresh air! Tie Dog Toys Have you gone through your closet lately? There’s probably some old T-shirts in there that you could use for this service project. Have everybody in your Key Club bring in their old T-shirts, then cut thin strips out of them. Braid the strips together, and poof! There is an instant dog toy that could be donated to a local animal center. No-Slip Socks Does your school have an art club? Try to get them involved in service along with your Key Club with an artistic project; puffy-paint socks. Even if your school doesn’t have an art club, you can do this just with your group too. All you will need is puffy paint, and new socks bought or donated from a store.
N
Then, start painting whatever you think a little kid would like on the bottom of the sock. When you’re done, set it out to dry, and then donate it to a hospital. Kids in the hospital who are undergoing treatment can wear warm comfy socks with paint on the bottom that will keep them from slipping on the slick hospital flooring thanks to you. Project Jared Box/Cuddles for Kids Are you scared of the doctors? So are thousands of other kids. Be a source of comfort to these kids, by bringing gently used toys and new stuffed animals to Project Jared Box and Cuddles for Kids. Gently used toys can be donated to Project Jared Box for other kids to play with and to help distract them from the stress of being at the doctor’s, while new stuffed animals can be donated to Cuddles for Kids to give a child a fuzzy warmth to soothe them. Letters of Love One afternoon or meeting get a set of blank cards together for every Key Clubber, and have everyone write a nice “get-well” message on each one. Then whenever you have time, deliver them to a nearby hospital to people who may not be getting cards or gifts from any family or anybody else. They will at least know that somebody cares about them, and this speedy service project will make them smile.
“Community service has taught me all kinds of skills and increased my confidence. You go out there and think
on your feet, work with others and create something from nothing. That's what life's all about.� - Andrew Shue
Spring Rallies Spring Rallies are a lot like Fall Rallies, except with a much more important cause; electing the next Lieutenant Governor of the division. Like Fall Rally, the program will most likely include a service project, a keynote speaker, and a lot of information. Instead of forums or instruction on how Key Clubbers should do their jobs though, there will be speeches and voting for a new Lieutenant Governor. It is at the end of the year, when officers should be just about done with their duties, and have the experience under their belt to know what they’re doing. If they want a challenge the next year, they can run for Lieutenant Governor, which would give them privilege, along with many responsibilities. Lieutenant Governors would be on the District Board, but also be the one in charge of their whole division as far as communication and connection of the division’s clubs to each other, the district, and international Key Club go.

“Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth.�

Meet your Board! So you elected them at DCON and Spring Rally, and they’ve been serving you for a year, but do you really know them? Governor Aliza Mitchel She loves to listen to music, and at every board meeting, you would know when she was up in the mornings, as she would play her music while she got ready for the day singing soflty but beautifully. She also loves to read, and loves books for the knowledge and imagination they provide to everyone. One of her favorite past-times though, is playing with her puppy, a cute Jack-Russe, or spending time with her family and loved ones. Aliza loves animals and people, and also loves to help them as much as she can in any and every way. She has the biggest heart anybody could have, which is why she is in Key Club, let alone the Governor of the Rocky Mountain District Key Club. She has served this district beautifully along with the rest of the board with style and grace that only she could give. As governor, she had to complete a couple newsletters, called the JacKEYlope, after Rocky Mountain’s mascot, to connect the District Board with International, lead and guide the board, and keep everything in good accordance.
Secretary Olivia Becker “I live in Fort Collins, Colorado and go to Rocky Mountain High School in Rocky Mountain District’s Division 16. Aside from volunteering, I like to run, play clarinet, and sing in choir. Key Club was my first high school club because I had an amazing experience being in K-Kids in elementary school. If your club wants to inspire little kids like I was, talk to Alex Kelso about sponsoring a K-Kids! 2016-17 will be my fourth year in Key Club, and my second year serving on the District Board. As secretary, my
Job is to keep track of district documents. If you have any objective Key Club questions that just need to be looked up by someone with resources, I am your person! I also take notes called Minutes at our board meetings. This year, one of my goals is to connect Key Club members to the District level by making information like Minutes accessible to everyone, you can find them on the RMD website.”
Treasurer Diana Antillon “I am a senior at Grand Valley High School, which recides in division 8. Aside from Key Club I am presidentg of my NHS, Senior class president, member of outdoors club, art club, FCA, and knowledge bowl. I like to get invloved and volunteer for my community. Key Club has made a huge imact in my life, and cannot imagine my life without it. As Treasurer I send annoying emails to make sure that all clubs pay dues on time! Best of luck to you all.”
Bulletin Editor Ciana Burroughs “I’m from Eaton, Colorado, which is in Division 2 of the Rocky Mountain District. I’m a junior, and this will be my third year in Key Club. I joined my freshmen year when I heard that is was a service organization, since I love to volunteer. Key Club is the sole focus of my high school career, even though I am in other activities, such as Art Club, Girl Scouts, Poetry Out Loud, Gay-Straight Alliance, and Cross Country. Although I was new to being on the board this year, I am very happy I got the chance to serve all of you. In my position, I am to make a district magazine, called a RocKey, and other miscellaneous graphic design publications such as logos, flyers, pamphlets, and other publications.”
Isabelle Aboaf Projects Chair “I’m a senior at Grandview High School! I spend my time doing service (of course), playing violin, and watching Netflix (if time permits). You will usually find me in my natural habitat – Starbucks – or eating something chocolate. I will be headed to a university (TBD) on the east coast this fall to study human rights and social justice. Thanks to my Key Club Family and all those who have supported me!”
Nicole Walsh Tech Chair “I’ve just really cherished every moment I’ve gotten to spend in Key Club, and I can’t wait to follow Kiwanis for my entire life.”
Colton Ortiz K-Family Relations Chair “I currently serve as the Rocky Mountain District's K-Family Relations chair, I’m an avid pianist and love to give hugs. Just ask! I was recently accepted as a Congress-Budenstag Youth Exchange Scholar, and will serve as a youth ambassador in Germany for ten months, beginning in August of this year.”
Garrett Like Convention Chair “After Key Club I hope to continue my service to others. I plan to go study fashion marketing and merchandising or political science.”
Alex Kelso Club Building Chair He is an avid soccer player and has created his own Business selling complex mirrors that include the date, time, and weather.
Riley Juenemann Division 1 Lieutenant Governor “Outside of Key Club I play guitar for a jazz group that gigs and records. I also love collecting Converse and playing with my sugar gliders. I love the K-family and I intend to be a member for the rest of my life!”

I’m the Secretary for Student Council, a member of NHS, the Editor of the Yearbook for the second year, I am very involved in church, I play soccer and run cross country and I love just about everything about life!

I am an active BJJ competitor, a dedicated student, and an avid language learner.”
Charles Ludlow Division 4 Lieutenant Governor “Key Club is really my primary thing; going to community service events, and helping people. I attend school 90% of the time, but miss it for Key Club. I love to annoy my sister.”
Megan Curry Division 5 Lieutenant Governor “In addition to Key Club, I'm part of NHS, Student Council, and a student advisor for the Counseling Board. I'm also starting to get into half marathons! In my free time, I love reading Harry Potter, water-coloring, crocheting scarves, and walking dogs at our local animal shelter.”
Jaspe Arias Division 7 Lieutenant Governor “Outside of Key Club I also like to take on leadership roles in extra-curricular activities like FBLA, HOSA, NHS, and Student Council. I also like to run and I do track, and I love the outdoors and exploring and taking some risks.”
Itzel Antillon Division 8 Lieutenant Governor “Hello everyone! Other than Key Club, I am involved in Band, NHS, along with other great clubs. I also love to volunteer at my local firefighter station, and public library. I completely love the K family, and I am excited to continue being involved in this amazing organization in the future.”
Krysta Couzi Division 9 Lieutenant Governor “Along with Key Club I am part of 8 different clubs, including: Music Honors Society, Student Government, etc. I like to be a part of so many things because my personality is a mix of many things, and I want to express that in as many ways as possible.
Chelsea Felton Division 10 Lieutenant Governor “Hey, guys, I'm Division 10's LTG. I love old music that your parent probably listen to and I play the ukulele. I love Key Club and hope to continue my Key Club career with joining a Circle K at my next school.”
Ashley Lai Division 11 Lieutenant Governor “Hey, All! My name is Ashley Lai and I like the color, purple and watching action movies. My greatest passion, besides Key Club and volunteering, is baking. I love creating new recipes from old recipes. On any given weekend, you can probably find me trying out a new recipe or frosting cupcakes. Lately, I've been branching out and experimenting with different pastries. Just yesterday, I tried to make cream puffs! Besides baking, I also adore history. My goal in life is to become an East Asian history professor and share my passion with anybody who's willing to listen. If that doesn't work out, I want to open my own cupcake shop/library where I can people watch all day.”
Chase Ramos Division 12 Lieutenant Governor “What’s up! Hi, so besides Key Club I am involved in a numerous amount of clubs, outside activities like my school’s musical, and the President of my school’s Gay Straight Alliance, but my favorite hobby outside of the organization is writing! Whether its fictional short stories, entire novel, or even occasional fan-fiction, I am your guy to turn the infinite expansion of creativity into a reality.”
Megan Carey Division 13 Lieutenant Governor “I enjoy reading a lot and I write. My passions are singing and Spanish, and I love binge watching shows Netflix. I have four cats and two dogs, and I love them with all my heart.”

Farewell, 2016-2017 Well Rocky Mountain District, I guess this is good-bye. So much has happened in the 2016-2017 service year, I could never begin to explain the sadness I feel as DCON comes up once again. I met many of you throughout the year, at ICON, Fall Rallies, Key Leader, Spring Rallies, and in so many other places as well. None of you will ever understand what you as an individual and a friend mean to me. For those of you who I did not have the pleasure of meeting in this past year, here is to the next. Whether we are in Key Club, Circle K, or Kiwanis, we are a part of the K-family. We are family. No matter who you may be, know that you are a part of something, and impacting the whole world for the better. When I look back on my time as Bulletin Editor, I think about not just what I did on the job, but who I got to meet on the job. The relationships I’ve built this past year will truly last me a lifetime; the friends that you make in Key Club are friends you’ll have for the rest of your life. Thank you for letting me serve you this past year, and you will always have a friend in me. - Ciana Burroughs Rocky Mountain District Bulletin Editor
