Key Club of the Month: Aztec High School This month, I would like to recognize one of the Rocky Mountain District’s strongest clubs. Aztec High School Key Club, located in Aztec, NM, has attended a plethora of Events including 3 International Conventions, 4 District Conventions, and multiple Key Leader Weekends. Their 19 members have improved their home, school, and communities through a wide variety of service projects, such as a haunted house fundraiser and a kids movie night in the park. They have had a wonderful year of service, and recieved the Diamond Level Distinguished club award at ICON 2016!
Congratulations, Audrey! Our very own immiediate past division 14 lieutenant governor and member of Conifer High School Key Club has been elected as one of the 11 trustees on the International Board. She will be serving the Capital, Montana, and Michigan Districts in the upcoming year. She will be such a wonderful trustee, and the Rocky Mountain District is so proud!

Club Recruitment Tips for your first meeting! #1-Invite a friend. Although it may sound simple, bringing a friend to a meeting can have a profound impact. Our members and meetings will speak for themselves once we get people there! #2 They don’t call us pizza club for no reason- Providing lunch or cookies at your first meeting is a great way to lure people into what could be the single most impactful experience in their school career.
