Rally was a total success and it seems everyone enjoyed it! It was very hard putting this rally

together but thanks to Gautier High Key Club, advisors, Mr. West, Pascagoula Kiwanis, and all

the participants and special guests, this rally turned out great! We raised over $700 for United Way and they were very thankful towards us Key

Clubbers, so thank you to all who donated! The money will go towards families in need including

medical, educational, physical, and more. I hope this rally experience will encourage all Key Clubbers in our division to sign up for District

Convention because Division 14 needs all of you to come!

We definitely had some amazing guests at rally including District Governor

MaryFrances Johnson, District Secretary Treasurer Breana

Olivier, District Webmaster Stephen Benn, Division 7B LTG Philip Roth, Division 4B

Kelly Serrano, Dr.Janey Mattina, Ms.Carolyn Moore,

past Kiwanis District Governor Greg Stevens, Mr.Woody and Mrs.Woody from

Pascagoula Kiwanis, Mr.Moore from Gulfport

Kiwanis, Cindi Fox from Biloxi Kiwanis, Mrs.Davis, and Mr. and Mrs.Le (my parents)

Thank you to all the guests who came and they definitely played a huge part

in rally.

Here are some service projects your Key Club can do. Gobble up some service!

Thanksgiving is near and you can show

your service by giving thanks to others

and do a service project like providing a

Thanksgiving dinner to a family, or do a

turkey cook out and provide food for

those in need. You can a host a can

food drive and maybe even do a

competition amongst classes who raises

the most cans. Do something with your Key Club and make a difference this

Thanksgiving. Who knows, you might

change a family’s life.

With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF

have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.

This deadly disease steals the lives of 60,000 innocent babies

and 30,000 mothers each year. The effects of the disease are

excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful

convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the Earth by 2015, 129 million mothers

and their future babies must be immunized. This requires

vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of

skilled staff and more. It will take $110 million — and the

dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis

family.

Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency

disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health

successes of the 20th century. Now, they are eliminating MNT

from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will

reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with

additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease

means the beginning of better health for so many families.

November is Prematurity

Awareness Month

As you know, March a Dimes is a service

organization dedicated in helping premature

babies. In order to help out, we must raise

awareness in our homes, communities, and

schools this month. Our mission is to improve

the health of babies by preventing birth defects,

premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry

out this mission through research, community

services, education and advocacy to save babies'

lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers,

educators, outreach workers and advocates

work together to give all babies a fighting

chance against the threats to their health:

prematurity, birth defects, low birth weight.

Your Key Club can help out by raising money for

March of Dimes and spread the word out.

411 on Division 14

PPCCMMss At our last PCM we discussed about our next Interclub

and voted, but I’ve decided it would be fair for

everyone to vote on and it seems that our next Interclub

will be a Christmas bash. We also talked about rally

results and what was good and what could be

improved. DCON was also mention and everyone who

attended knew this year’s DCON theme. Other topics

we talked about were Key Club Week, service projects

and the division itself. Thank you again Pascagoula for

providing food for everyone and thank you Gautier,

Moss Point, and Pascagoula for attending the PCM. We

definitely need more participation at our PCMs and I

hope we have more Key Clubs attend this upcoming

PCM.

Next PCM is on December 4, 2010 4:00 PM @ Tom’s Pizzeria in

Gautier, MS and we are having a poster contest!

Interclub! If you missed rally, no worries! We will

have an Interclub coming up which is a

Key Club get-together and Key Clubs

from our division come together to have

fun and do some service! Key Clubbers

voted for our next Interclub which would

be either a Beach Bonfire or a Christmas

Bash and it has been decided that we

will have a Christmas Bash! We will

incorporate a service project which will

be Toys 4 Tots and Salvation Army. We

will like for all participants to bring at

least one good toy or a clothing item to

donate. Not only are we doing service,

we will have a talent showcase and I

hope all of you talented Key Clubbers

participate! There will be food, games,

dance, and much much more! Start

inviting your Key Clubbers now!
