Key Club Division 14 August Newsletter

In addition, we will be raising money

for the United Way for Jackson &

George Counties. The United Way

campaign theme is also Super Hero

and they are uniting in action with

Division 14 to raise money for 20

agencies that are helping families and

children in need. Let us Key Clubbers

be superheroes to the United Way

and save the day by saving the

families and children of those in our

area. We will have shirts for sale,

donation lunch, raffles, and plenty

more activities to raise money for this

program. There is a special surprise

for the lucky winner who gets to be

duct taped to the wall, and you get to

choose your advisor, Kiwanis, or

myself to be ducted taped to the wall.

I know deep down you do not want

this little girl to be taped down!

Fly your way into action and sign up

with your advisor for your power

access to Super Service!

Be ready Division 14 because this fall

rally will be one you’ll never forget.

KEY CLUB Division 14 newsletter

This year was my first year attending ICON

and it was one of the best experiences I

ever had! Not only did I get to meet

people from all over the world, but these

people became real close friends and Key

Club just brought us even closer. I also

learned how the International Structure

worked and was given the opportunity to

vote for our International Board at the

House of Delegates. Having the chance to

attend ICON was a blessing and I really

hope that I will be able to bring as many

key clubbers from Division 14 to the

International Convention in Phoenix, AZ. I

encourage everyone to attend ICON

because it will be a Key Club experience

no one will ever forget!

moments that I will never forget and the people are unforgettable.

Check out these awesome projects! What is our Governor’s

Project for 2010-2011 year?

Option 1: Fundraising for Diabetes

Why fundraise for Diabetes?

I would like our district to raise money for the

American Association of Diabetes. Two people that I

am close to have this disease which makes this even

more of a reason for us to want to help this cause. I

would like for us to be able to present the American

Association of Diabetes with a large check at our

district Convention.

What is a good fundraising idea for Diabetes?

Your school can host a sugar free bake sale and sell

baked goods that are sugar free but still tasty. (More

coming soon in the Governor’s Project booklet)

Option 2: Support Healthy Lifestyles

Why should I support healthy lifestyles?

I would like for us as a district to show people how

important living a healthy lifestyle truly is to

prevent long term and short term diseases. I also

believe that it is important for us to each out and

teach younger students about living a healthy life. I

will post a calendar on our district website with

health risks that you can “aware” people about and how to live a healthy lifestyle.

What are some project ideas?

Host a Field Day: this will help get students active!

Host an Awareness Walk: this will help increase awareness for a disease!

United Way is our super service

project for this year’s fall rally.

United Way works to identify

areas of unmet needs in our

community and brings people

together in order to provide

help to those in needs. 90.9% of

money raised goes towards

funding to health and human

service agencies and the other

9.1% goes towards fundraising

and nonprofit assistance. They

help fund for families and

children in need of medical care

and education.

Volunteer for these programs!

K.A.M.P Kiwanis is a summer camp

experience provided to children with

Kiwanis fulfills those dreams. [Erica

The Dream Program serves people with

disabilities in Jackson County Mississippi

and surrounding areas. We host special

PPCCMMss At our last PCM we discussed

on voting for a theme to

represent at DCON. The two

to choose from are Pokemon

or Beach theme. We held a

shoebox contest and Moss

Point High won for the most

unique shoebox. We also

talked about possibly having

our next DCON in Biloxi. Lastly,

we decided that each school

will decide on the location for

our PCM each month.

Back to School Tips • Make sure to have all of your school

supplies, which include pencil(s), pens, paper, and your textbooks!

• Arrive to class at least 5 minutes early; so you will never be late for class.

• Have plenty of sleep the night before at least 8 hours or else you’ll end up sleeping in class. Trust me!

• Eat a good breakfast before going to school or else you’ll be more

concentrated on food than your school work. If you’re sneaky, eat a few snacks during class or during break.

• School is a place for education, not socialization. So pay attention to your

studies and not your buddies.
