INFORMATION

Hello Key Clubbers!

It has certainly been a crazy

month but y’all remind me

every day about how blessed I

am. My term is soon coming

to an end and I am looking

for someone to take over the

legacy of division 5. We have

moved forward in strides and

we need to continue that way.

If you want to go further in

Key Club and be Lt.

Governor talk to me as

soon as possible and I will

help set you up for success

before the day of election in

less than a month.

Also, DCON is almost here

and you need to start making

plans for that.

Officer election should be

taking place next month as

well.

Monthly Message

Fact: I love

having fun and

hanging out with

my brothers and

sisters!

AWARDS

Conferences for January Here is the agenda for conferences this month. Each president should email me a date and time that is good for a conference by the 20th of each month. If you have not emailed me by that date I will start calling. I want to have a conference with each president by the 31st of each month. These contribute to Key Clubbin’ Correspondence awards (KCC Awards) so please participate.

Agenda

-How are you? -How are officers, advisors, and Kiwanis

working together? -Does your club send in reports and newsletters?

-Have you updated contact info. on TO website? -How many are interested in going to DCON?

-What fundraisers do you have for DCON? -Are you going to the DEC and do you

have delegates? -Have you turned in dues? -What are you doing to participate in

the divisional project? -What are your future service project plans?

-Do you know if someone in your club is planning on running for Ltg? -Have you informed your club about officer elections next month?

-What can I do for you?

DCON is only months away

(106 days to be exact) and it is

time to start planning! Please

start getting a count of how

many people are going in your

club so that we can plan

properly as a division!

We would like to take a group

bus and we would need to fill

35 seats as a division. It will cost

about $100 dollars per seat.

When you get a count please

email me asap.

Time is ticking!

The official

information on how

to register will be

released on the

tokeyclub.com

website soon. This

will include the

formal information

about DCON and

what you need to

do to get there!

Team Hook or

Team Pan?

You Decide!

KIWANIS MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Thank you Lt. Governor Katie

Wilson for the great idea!

ARE YOUR DUES IN?

Dues are officially past due to Key Club

International at this point so if you have not

sent them in please notify me and I will make

sure we get them in as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, if your club has not paid

dues you cannot register for DCON or apply

for any district positions until they’re paid. I

do not want this to be the case so I will work

with you to fix this. Congratulations to all 8

clubs that have paid! .

Ron Njus is the Kiwanis Lt.

Governor of division 5 and has

been a supporter of the Key

Clubs since before the start of

his term! He always tries to

attend JECA events and always

makes sure that our Key Clubs

stay strong. Thank you Lt.

Governor Ron Njus for all you

do!

Remember to visit your Kiwanis

and talk to them frequently!
