Presidential
Essentials
LaMissTenn District Key Club Presidents,
I sincerely congratulate you on being elected president of your club.
The position of club president is one of the most important offices of Key Club
International; as president, you are in direct communication with the members
and work hard to have success within your club. Successful clubs lead to a
successful district, and a successful district adds to the overall achievement of Key Club
International.
This year will be fantastic for you all! The district is implementing new systems in order to
better meet your needs. Voltaire’s words hold true to all officers in this organization: “With
great power comes great responsibility.” Challenges will arise this year, but that is why you all have a
board of officers to help you. You and your board can achieve your goals with the help of each and
every member.
I would like to wish you the best of luck for this school year! Time will fly and before you know it,
you will be handing over your gavel to the next president. Enjoy every moment of your term, and
cherish the people you will be serving. This “Presidential Essentials” newsletter will be sent to you all on
the fifth of every month. The newsletter will contain helpful tips for the month and any important
information you need to know. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever have any questions,
need guidance, or need help with anything. I am excited to be serving you and working with you this
year!
Yours in Service,
Tabitha Kearns
LaMissTenn District Governor
Our district website is currently getting a makeover! We are switching software programs and giving the website a completely different look. The new website will be more user-friendly, and there will be more resources available. Check out our progress at www.lmtkeyclub.org! I would appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Here’s the 411
Outstanding Club of the Month
Your club can be the Outstanding Club of the Month! The
outstanding club will be featured in the Governor’s monthly newsletter and on the website. The feature could include an article on a favorite project and pictures. Email Tabitha Kearns
if you would like your club to make the news!
Recruitment
It’s recruitment time! Recruiting new
members can be easy or difficult, depending on how you approach it. Remember that it
is important to recruit freshmen and sophomores-they are the future of your club! These are a few ideas that have
proven to be successful when recruiting:
People, especially teens, love free food! Have pizza or a snack at one of your meetings.
Create a video or slideshow that features your club. Ask members
why they like Key Club, and put their interviews in the video too! With your principal’s permission, you can
play this video on the announcements! You may also want
to consider using one of KCI’s recruitment videos, Key Club is Like... (click to access).
Have each member bring a friend to one of your meetings.
If your school has an open house or freshmen orientation, set up a table with colorful posters, candy, and
pictures to “entice” incoming students to consider joining Key Club.
Executive Assistant
We will be adding a new position to the LaMissTenn District
Board, Executive Assistant. The Executive Assistant will be the director of committees and work closely with the Executive Board. This will be an appointed position this year. More
information as well as an application will be sent to Lieutenant Governors soon! Lieutenant Governors will send information to
clubs.
Divisional Rally
“Rally Season” will
begin next month! Lieutenant Governors
will be sending out registration packets this month. Encourage your
members to attend rally; they won’t regret
it. I cannot wait to meet all of you!
Dues Increase
The House of Delegates
Session at the 2014 International
Convention voted to have a dues increase of $0.50. Therefore, dues
for International will be $7.00 instead of $6.50.
District dues will remain $6.50 for this year.
Online Submission for Monthly Reports
One feature of our new website is online submission for monthly reports. Club
secretaries can now submit monthly reports online. This will make submission easier and
more efficient. Below is the link that directs one to the page where the report can be accessed. It is important that secretaries select
the correct division before completing the report because this determines which Lieutenant
Governor receives the report. Once the report is submitted, it will be sent to your Lieutenant Governor and Hunter Burkhardt, the Secretary-
Treasurer.
