Division 14 Jan. Newsletter

Volume 7 January 2010

My goals for this year are to unite all

Key Clubs and Kiwanis in Division 14

together through service and good

communication. I would like for all

Key Clubs to stay active with the

Division and with Kiwanis. Keep in

touch with your home Kiwanis and

see if there is any service projects that

your Key Club can for them. Nothing

makes Kiwanis happier than a Key

Club doing service with them! I ensure

all Key Clubs that Division 14 will

come out best in the District and we

will be doing more service than ever

before! These goals are my new year’s

resolution and I will achieve these

goals with your Key Clubs help. I will

never give up on Division 14 and I

hope with your support we can make

our last year together the best Key

Club has ever had.

Enjoy this year with your Key Club and

stay active and have fun doing

service! Let’s go out with a bang for

2011 and I cannot wait to see you all

at the next PCM.

Happy New Year everyone and a

great way to start off the year is

with service! Create some goals for

What happen at Interclub?

2

On December 18, 2010, Division 14 hosted the

first Interclub which was a Christmas Bash. It

was a great success and thank you to all the

Key Clubs that attend. Biloxi, Gautier, Long

Beach, Pascagoula, Moss Point, St.Stanislaus,

and West Harrison Key Club attended the

event and contributed to the Salvation Army

with our food drive. There was food, games,

raffle, music, and great

talent at the event! It

seems everyone had a

great time and I enjoy

spending time with

all these amazing

Key Clubbers.

Check out these pictures!

We had 4 amazing talent acts at the

Interclub. The first act was a singing

performance by Telvin Bunch from Moss

Point, then Briana Burton from Gautier High

sang “Firework” acapalla by Katy Perry, and

we had a group performance singing “This

Christmas” from Moss Point, Gautier, and

Pascagoula Key Club. I even performed with

a freestyle dance accompanied by Sergio

Gaskin. It was a great show and I am happy

to have these Key Clubbers participate in

such a wonderful event! Thank you all who

showcase their talent and hope to see your

talents at DCON!

Who’s got talent?!

Special Thanks! I would like to thank these people for helping me put this awesome Christmas Bash together.

Pascagoula Kiwanis for providing funds for food and set-up. Gulfport Kiwanis for providing the

drinks and pizza and helping find a location. Lynn Meadows Discovery Center for providing

the facility. Stephen Benn for providing music, screen, and all the technical equipment. All

chaperones and advisors who help out at the Interclub. Participants for the talent showcase

and all Key Clubbers who attended this event. Thank you all so much for making this Christmas

Bash one of the best interclubs ever!

Here’s the latest news on Division 14! In this section, you will find Division 14’s information on DCON,

NOT, Theme, and more! Be prepared for this year because Division 14 is going all out!

At our last PCM, we had only 2 schools (Gautier and Moss

Point) and one Kiwanian attend which were only 5 people.

Compare to our first meeting, the amount of participants

dropped significantly and so I would like to improve

participation and to stay active in our division with this

upcoming PCM. Last PCM, we discuss DCON and New

Officers Training updates. I will get into details more about

these two events at the next PCM! All officers, advisors, and

Kiwanians are welcome to attend, and feel free to bring

any Key Clubbers to this event as well. Please RSVP who

can attend this PCM so I will know how many agendas to

make and for the restaurant to set up chairs and tables.

Bring all necessary materials and money for food please. I

cannot wait to see you all there!
