and Resources

Hey D9 Unicorns of the Sea AKA Narwhals,

Even though I’m sure we’re all missing our summer days about

now, the fun of Key Club is just beginning! The service leaders in our

division are hard at work making a difference in their communities and

showing the world what Key Club is and what we can do. This is going to

be a year of unprecedented accomplishments in D9 as we get to know each

other and the potential that we have as clubs, a division, and as a district.

As the month of September begins, I will be making club visits and talking

to you all about Fall Rally, Key Leader, and the District Projects. I am so

excited to get to meet all of you this month! There is nothing better than a

bunch ofcaring teenagers all grouped together, and that’s exactly what

Key Club does! There isn’t a club as cool as it out there so let’s make the

most of every moment we have in it! Check out the timeline of events and

checklist for a quick recap of upcoming events. This newsletter will also

give you Fall Rally details and a guide to registering for Key Leader.

Serve on Narwhals! Don’t let anything stop you from changing the world!

Yours in friendship and service,

Juliana Rodriguez

Rocky Mountain District Project

At the July District Board Meeting, RMD voted to focus on The Eliminate

Project as our district project with a district goal of $18,009! Below are

some guides taken from www.TheEliminateProject.org to help you

understand our mission!

The 69th annual Key Club International Convention took place in Orlando, Florida this year

where 1,700 fellow key clubbers from around the world came together for a week of fun,

fellowship, and service education.

District Tour July 1st-4th

The district tour brought RMD to Cocoa Beach, Kennedy Space Center, Disney World’s Magic

Kingdom, and finally Epcot for 4th of July Fireworks. These few days brought the district closer

than I thought we could ever become as we each tried something new, explored the magic of

Disney, and immersed ourselves in the hot, humid Florida weather. I have never laughed more

in my life than I did in Epcot and I have never been in more awe as to how this district is made

up of so many diverse, dedicated, and passionate key clubbers.

Convention July 5th-8th

We all know that there is something truly special about key clubbers, but more than anything

there is something remarkable about key clubbers brought together and working cohesively.

This is the idea proven over and over to me at ICON. We came from all parts of the world, but

we all said the same pledge during opening session, we all wanted the best for our

organization as we elected the new international board, and we all showed our common

passion as we shared our service ideas at the service fair. I learned how to better serve you as

an LTG at the workshops and learned more about the Eliminate Project as we held a

fundraiser dance and attended a dinner/presentation. Congrats to Bear Creek which sent 7

club members and I can’t wait to see you all at ICON 2014 in Washington D.C!
