Surfing Into Service: LTG UpdateI have been working very hard

to stya on track this month and get contact with all my clubs. I have been on vacation in California for 2 weeks so it has been hard. My vacation tied very well into the service theme with Surfin’ Into Service. Even though I did not get to surf! This month I am hoping to continue to get all the contact information and keep everyone up to date with upcoming projects, rallies and get-togethers. Another one of my goals for the month is to make sure that all the Division 9 clubs are prepared for the school year and have stayed busy during the summer months. I hope to see you all soon at my officer training which is to be explained later in the newsletter.

Officer TrainingOfficer training is

being held in Rochester for Divisions 8 and 9 on August 4th. It will be held at the location of 6278 13th Avenue NW Rochester, MN 55901. We will meet at 1 p.m. It is open and welcome to all members of Key Club and Kiwanis Club to attend. We will be doing forums for the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, publicist, general member, and advisors. So please make sure to invite your Kiwanis club members and regular Key Club members as well. Also for any member interested in fulfilling a certain position next year or just learning more about Key Club, feel free to come and join in the learning. This will help to train the current board for the upcoming year and also to give other

members an idea of what the board actually does. We will have snacks and refreshments as well as other activities to participate in that will allow everyone to get to know each other. I hope everyone can make it.Divisional Service Project

I have planned a Divisional Service Project for Division 8 and 9 to participate in. This years governor’s project as you all should know is Kids Against Hunger. Within Division 8, in Mankato, there is a Kids Against Hunger location that we can go to to package food. I have set up the date of October 23rd to go over there and package food. We ask that everyone try to raise 20 dollars

Secretaries:Please fill out the monthly report forms located on the district pageMinndakkeyclub.org under the monthly forms tab. These forms need to be filled out by the 10th of each month. They help me to track how each club is doing and it also helps to keep your own club on track. These are part of each secretaries job list and are not an option. These need to be completed. If you do happen to end up doing it late, still do it. They are essential to me! Thank you.

Dues, Dues,

Dues

I know it may seem a little early to be thinking about dues, but once school starts it will come on fast. Starting thinking about them now so that your club will be prepared when the time comes. Dues are due on November 30th and the early bird deadline is November 1st. Get it in by the early bird deadline and your club will receive a patch to put on your club’s banner!

Another thing to think about with dues is to increase membership. For the bigger clubs, it is harder to get those extra members, but the more the merrier. Some suggestions for smaller clubs to get new members is to do a membership drive. Do things such as talk to teachers and ask them to hand out brochures about Key Club or your club could hold

Presidents:Make sure to be keeping your club on track and to be holding regular meetings during the summer. It is advised to have at least 3 meetings during the summer period, meaning one per month. This helps to keep everyone focused on Key Club and it will help make transitioning into the school year that much easier. Also please feel free to invite me and other surrounding clubs to your

Publicists:Be sure that during the summer months, all your service projects are being publicized with posters or sending articles to the local newspapers, radio and TV stations. Also make sure that ALL the Key Club members are aware of service projects. Keep good communication within the club to ensure good turn out at club functions.

Summer is coming to an end!Summer may be coming to an end but there is still service to be done before school starts. Make sure that your clubs are still holding meetings during the summer and keeping in contact. Also be doing service projects during the summer. It is one of the biggest times that help is needed. Summer can get really busy but with good management of the time, you can squeeze everything in. It is essential that your club continues to do service during the summer days. Have a successful summer!

Advice to the clubs: Make sure that your club

has at least 2 members attending Fall Rally and Spring Convention with dates listed previously.

Have a summer board meeting before school starts so everyone can be on the same page and also to set goals for the year.

Start thinking of fundraising ideas now instead of later.

Your club doesn’t always have to do the same service projects year after year. Switch it up a bit.

Make it a fun and interesting year!
