Division 10 January newsletter

Major Emphasis events, the Ioli-an, Rosters, Dues, and getting Kiwanis Clubs to sponsor you. I will be covering all of these top-ics in my newsletter. Please pay special attention to the dead-lines. Also, in the next few weeks Rachel and I will be visit-ing Batavia High School, Gene-va High School, Larkin High School, St. Charles East High School, and St. Charles North High School together so I can introduce all of Division 10 Key Club Officers/Advisers/Club members to her and also so she gets a feel for what she has to do.

Hello Division 10 Key Club Officers. This past week-end I attend the I-I District’s January Board Meeting. I brought our new Lieutenant Governor Elect with me, Ra-chel Radtke, from Batavia High School. She learned a lot about what goes at District board meetings and what duties she has to fulfill as the new Divi-sion 10 Lieutenant Governor. I will briefly describe what top-ics the District Board members and I discussed at this board meeting.

First off, John Mo-reland and Paul Palazzolo (former Kiwanis International President) were present at the meeting. John Moreland is the current I-I District’s Kiwanis Governor. He talked about what the I-I Kiwanis District has been up to. He talked about how for the eliminate project, they thought of cutting out paper butterflies where club members could write their name, the amount of money they pledged, and how many lives they saved (sort of like the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Parachutes at Dairy Queen) to increase overall do-nations.

Some other topics that were discussed were DCON, Spastics, Key Leaders, S e r v i c e P r o j e c t i d e a s , awards/contests, Theme and

CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITALS

The mission of Chil-dren's Miracle Network is to raise funds and awareness for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. These funds provide vital medical equipment for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit . They also provide emergency transport vans for premature babies, pre-natal and after birth education for parents and recreational items for child friendly hospital visits for children. Funds raised remain locally to help create

miracles of health and healing for babies and children of our local communities. (http://childrensmiraclenetworkhospi-tals.org/About/Children). Have your club fundraise money for our service partner or make get well soon cards to be sent to one of our local hospitals at your next club meeting.

UNICEF ELIMINATE PRO-JECT

One of Key Clubs main Service Partners is UNICEF. Currently, they are

trying to eliminate Neonatal tetanus from the world. It is Key Clubs mission to try to fundraise 110 Million dollars for this cause by the year 2015. Just $1.80 can help save a mother and her fu-ture babies from this disease. Have your club watch the Elimi-nate Video to become educated about this cause and try to fund-raise money.

Adviser) gave me some tips on how to get Kiwanis Clubs to sponsor the Key Club members in Division 10 to go to DCON, ICON, or even Key Leaders.

First, let the President of your Kiwanis Club know that you are coming to their meeting. Bring some of your Key Club members too. Second-ly, talk about what event you want them to sponsor. Thirdly,

Creating a strong rela-tionship with your clubs spon-soring Kiwanis Club is very beneficial. Kiwanis Clubs want to help support their Key Clubs in any way possible. They will even sponsor some Key Club members to go to special events. At the January Board Meeting Mrs. Greenhagen (Region 3 Lieutenant Governor

talk about the cost of the event and how much you want them to pay. You can ask them to pay for about a third of the cost. Then talk about the benefits of attending this event and what you will be doing there. In return, give a presentation on what went on at the event and what activities you participated in. Also, bring more Key Club members to their next meeting.

A Word from our New Lieutenant Governor

sion.

Personally I love art, music, movies, and fashion. If I had to pick, I would say my favorite artist would be Claude Monet. I listen to a wide range of music, such as alternative, indie, and punk. One of my favorite musicians is Lana Del Rey. I am interested in pursuing a career in the medical field and desire to work with children or

trauma patients.

I just attended the January Key Club Board Meet-ing where I had the opportunity to learn about my upcoming responsibilities. I am excited to visit the clubs in Division 10 and to meet other Key Club members. I am looking forward to the challenges of this role and the opportunity to serve you as a Lieutenant Governor.

Hi my name is Rachel Radtke and I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I will be the Lieutenant Governor for Division 10 this upcoming year. I am a junior and currently the President of the Key Club at Batavia High School. I have always been drawn to helping make a difference and Key Club offers the foundations I was looking for to fulfill this pas-

$20 this year. You can do this by having club members and students donate any spare change during lunch hours in a jar. Another way to raise money is to have a bake sale.

For Division 10, there will be a Bowl-a-thon on Febru-ary 23rd sponsored by the Divi-sion 10 Kiwanis Clubs to raise money for Spastics. I am hop-ing we raise about $1,000. Keep

Spastic Paralysis is a series of diseases that affect the central nervous system. This is our District Project. Our goal for this year was to raise $30,000 for research and medi-cal care. We have only raised $8,000 and are not even half-way to our goal. I want Division 10 to try to raise as much mon-ey as possible for this project. I want each club to raise about

District Governor Morgan Murphy

The next Divisional Council Meeting will be on February 2nd. All Key Club Officers and Advisers are invit-ed. We will be discussing how to promote some divisional events like the Bowl-a-Thon, Key Lead-ers, Kiwanis Events and much more. I will be sending out invitation as soon as possible. It will most likely be at the St. Charles Public Library.

Please bring at least 3 non-perishable items. All of the can goods will be going to the St. Charles Local Salvation Ar-

my. The Key Club Officers and Advisers from the club that brings the most cans will all re-ceive a candy of their choice.

I will also be inviting some Kiwanis members, the Region 3 Lieutenant Governor Advisers, the St. Charles Noon Kiwanis President, and the St. Charles Noon Kiwanis Treasur-er. I will see if I can invite the other Division 10 Kiwanis Club Presidents so that way we can talk about if they can sponsor some Key Club members to go to DCON, ICON, or Key Leaders.

If you have any questions please contact me.

MONTHLY REPORT FORMS

I have received all of the Monthly Report Forms from all of Division 10 Key Clubs except for Larkin. I need the Statistical Secretary of Larkin to submit the Monthly Report Forms from May to January as soon as possible. Please contact me if you have any questions.

DUES

I am still waiting for Geneva and Larkin to turn them in. Dues need to be turned in by February 1st. If dues are not turned in by that date, your club will be delin-quent meaning that your club members are not really club members and your club is no longer a club.

ROSTERS

I have receive rosters from all clubs except for Lar-kin. I will gather all of the Key Club Officers contact infor-mation next time I visit Larkin’s Key Club and I will enter it in online.

Service Project Ideas

Governors helped make paper hearts that said “be mine” and “happy Valentine’s Day” on them to be put up on the walls of a retirement home.

Another Service Pro-ject you can do during a club meeting is called Socks of Love. You fill one sock with necessi-ties like a toothbrush, hair comb, soap, shampoo, small toys, and the other sock of

course! Then you can donate the Socks of Love to a local homeless shelter. If are looking for more Service Project ideas, you can always look on Pinter-est and YouTube. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here are some Service Project that your club can do to benefit your community. Valen-tines Day is coming up. You can contact you local retirement home and ask if they are hosting a Valentine’s Day dance/ party for Seniors living there. You and your club members can help decorate the room. At the January Board meeting, all of the current and new Lieutenant
