Words From Your Treasurer

Hey District Board!

We are only three months away from ending

the service year, but that does not mean we can all

take a break! Thankfully, the New York District Awards

Booklet is released to give some of us a wake-up call.

We should all be looking at the Distinguished Key

Clubber Award, the Robert F. Lucas Outstanding

Lieutenant Governor’s Award, and the Distinguished

District Officer Tabs. Even though service should be

done for the sake of helping our home, school, and

community, there is nothing wrong with getting

recognized for it! In addition, these awards make

sure that we are all doing what we are supposed to

 

Yours in the spirit of service,

Alexander Mok

District Treasurer 2013 – 2014

be doing. If there are some criteria that are not fulfilled, you know what the next three

months should be devoted to.

December 1 was the Regular Dues deadline. As of December 1, all dues submitted

are considered late. Even though all clubs that haven’t paid dues are now considered

delinquent, these clubs can just submit dues as soon as possible to return to an active

status. Please continue to remind your clubs to update their Membership Update Center

and to submit dues.

Criteria That You Cannot Work On

Unfortunately, you cannot change

whether or not you submitted new

officer information by the deadline,

attended LTC 2013, ICON 2013, or DTC

2013, or planned officer training

workshops for your DTC. On the bright

side, you can inform your successor to try

and complete these tasks on time so

that he or she may also win this award.

Criteria That You Start Now There are some requirements that you start now. For example, you can start visiting your clubs if you haven’t yet. Start holding divisional council meetings, attending club projects, holding division-wide functions, and completing service projects to fulfill some criteria.    

Criteria That You Should Keep Working On Keep making top notch club newsletters, sending biweekly reports, and communicating with the district board and your clubs. You should have been doing this from the start of your term, but it is not too late to start now. You can still rack a few points from the newsletters, biweekly reports, and the emails sent in the final months of your term. Also keep trying to charter new clubs or revive old clubs.

Outstanding LtG’s Award

Criteria That Requires the Help of Others

For things like recommendations and

proofs, it is important to ask the people

who can provide them early. Request a

recommendation or a proof at least

two weeks in advance so that enough

time is given. You can also send a

couple of reminders along the way.

 

Dues Collection & LTC Delegates Urge your clubs to send in dues if they haven’t yet. Also spread the word about the importance of attending LTC. It will not only benefit them. It will also benefit you.

Following Directions

It is important to follow the directions in

the awards booklet. If it says to use 5-

tab dividers, you must use 5-tab

dividers. Don’t put extraneous

information behind each tab even if

you think it will help describe your work

better. There’s a Miscellaneous tab for

a reason.

Miscellaneous

Do you know anyone who can confirm

that you went above and beyond the

call of duty? Did you create numerous

newsletters, guides, videos, or other

helpful communiqués? Show that you

went above and beyond in this section

by attaching such materials and

recommendation letters.

Role of Club Treasurer

What should a Club Treasurer be doing in December?

The Festive Idea

Gift Wrapping

Set up a gift wrapping station at your local

shopping mall. You can ask shoppers for donations in return for wrapping their

presents this holiday season.

In December, they should be:

• Holding fundraisers and sending in FRFs and proofs

• Sending their member roster and dues check

• Working on the Distinguished Key Clubber application

• Reviewing the requirements for the Distinguished Club

Treasurer Award

December Fundraising Ideas

The Low Budget Idea

Christmas Caroling

Walk around the neighborhood with a couple of other Key Clubbers singing

Christmas carols to raise money for a cause.

Instruments can be used in addition to vocals.

The Extra Special Idea

Christmas Show

Hold a Christmas show with holiday themed

performances. There is so much to display like the nativity story, Christmas

songs, and other festive acts.

District and International Dues Collection

Below you will find a breakdown of how every club member’s dues are used. The money is never gone to waste, and it is important to tell current and prospective members where their money is going. For the 2013 – 2014 service year, dues will be $12.50 in addition to the optional $1 – $3 that each club can add. The breakdown of dues is shown below.

Look on Page 10 to find out which of your clubs have and have not had their checks and invoices processed by International. If there is no “X” next to your school’s name, that means the club has not submitted dues yet. Please remind them of the importance of dues submission. Also remind them that you, International, and I are here to answer any questions about dues.
