Who We Are

Southridge Key Club consists of dedicated members willing to create a

change in the community. We, the officers, hope that we can inspire others

to stand up for a cause. We do not “hold hands around the campfire and have

spirit stick parties”, although that happened once, we fight to better the world around us. Key

Club is a community service group that always backs each other up. Our PNW District

Governor, Giovanni McKenzie, set up

Project: Educate and over 330 Key Clubs

have helped to raise funds for Jamaican

education. Together, we do make a

difference. Just know that Key Club does

go beyond a high school level; members

have continued to make a difference in

Circle K International and Kiwanis. Key

Club isn’t for the light-hearted scraping by

for the 60 service learning hours.

Project Educate

This year’s district project is Project

Educate. The goal is to improve the

quality of education in Jamaica, one

school at a time. This is the first of its kind

– a joint project between the Pacific

Northwest District and the Jamaica

District. Our goal is to raise $30,000 to

help aid three different schools in

Jamaica. It will provide library

equipment, classroom supplies, and

tuition of two students for the 2013-2014

school year, and rebuilding funds for the

library at Wakefield Primary School.

Our division decided to have a Miracle

Dollar to raise at least $500 among the

10 schools. We also have district shirts

and wristbands; orders are still being

taken.

Accomplishments

At the Nov. 19 meeting, we were able to raise over

$50 for Project: Educate during our Miracle

Dollar! We kept it a secret to surpise

Jiwon, but we will have a pie ready for the next

meeting, which will probably be

in December! Although we didn’t have enough

members show up for Loaves & Fishes and

Oregon Food Bank, there are a lot of families

grateful for our help to feed them this

Thanksgiving. We still have more events coming

up so remember to sign up!

If you missed the November 19 deadline for membership forms, you have only this week to get it in! Fill out the form completely and remember to bring $15.

Many people have not returned their UNICEF boxes! It is very important that you get it to us ASAP so we can send the money to the Eliminate Project! We have recently eliminated China, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, Timor Leste, and Tanzania.

KEY CLUB PLEDGE

I pledge, on my honor, to

uphold the objects of Key

Club International; to build

my home, school, and

community; to serve my

nation and God. And combat

all forces which tend to

undermine these constitutions.

Division crewnecks

are here for those who

ordered! Another

order will be taken in

January, if they are

still in demand.

How Key Club works:

International Level District Level (Pacific Northwest)

Divisional Level (Division 65) Club Level (Southridge)
