Your Lieutenant Governor
Hey Key Clubbers
Alaska Rally is this month, Who’s excited? I can’t wait to see eve-
ryone there, we’re going to have so much fun! I need everyone to
send in their contact information to my email. If your secretary
sends me an excel sheet that would be awesome! Also I would
like to get a Monthly update on what your club is doing, if you
need anything from me, or if you just have an awesome service
project that your club is doing, I would love to know. We will not
be having a Divisional Conference meeting this month because
of Alaska Rally. I hope everyone has an awesome Turkey Day! Al-
so I apologize for my newsletter being late. I was out of power
just as a lot of you might have been.
With love and service

ATTENTION ALL SENIORS
What is MNT?
In 28 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal teta-
nus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy.
MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Its effects are excruci-
ating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions
and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope
of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too.
What will it take to eliminate MNT from the
Earth?
More than 100 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 US$110 mil-
lion — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every mem-
ber of the Kiwanis family.
ELIMINATE MERCHANDISE!

ELIMINATE MERCHANDISE!
What they do 1. Educate
We build scholarship funds to pay for the education of talented,
ambitious, and extremely poor youth around the world, in areas
where public school is not available or fees and uniforms are too
expensive. The funds are raised through YUDA Bands projects, a
unique service learning project for high schools, jr highs, and
middle schools all across America.
2. Crate Jobs
When American youth host a YUDA Bands project at their school
it is important to understand that not only are they providing ed-
ucation but also jobs for the needy. A growing number of people
in Guatemala put food on the table at night by making YUDA
Bands during the day.
3. Empower Youth
YUDA Bands projects should not end when sales are completed
at a school. If the project is done right the spirit of YUDA Bands
remains long after the bands are all sold. The YUDA Band on stu-
dent’s wrists act as a silent reminder of the service they gave. The
project will create a movement we call the YUDA
Bands Revolution. When students look at their YUDA Band they
not only are reminded of their education and other blessings, but
are more inclined to serve others.
1st student we are sponsoring
2nd student we are sponsoring
3rd student we are sponsoring
For just $8 you can help a student go to school for a
year. North Pole High School is sponsoring three stu-
dents and would like your help! Advertise Advertise
Advertise! We don’t have much longer and we
would love to send all of these kids to school. They’re
not just helping a kid in need, they’re stylish too! Buy
a band, Change a life!
Yuda Bands will be available at Alaska Rally!
