Remember the slow, old, ugly iikeyclub.org? Not anymore. Thanks to the help of
Technology Chair Akhil Sarikonda, not only has our District been fortunate enough to add
an ‘Anonymous Comment Box’, but an entire facelift. Our District is proud to announce
the ‘new ‘ iikeyclub.org with the same, familiar tabs you’re used to (Club Monthly Report,
etc. under Forms) as well as much more in a user-friendly interface.
What if I want to use iikeyclub.org on my phone/tablet? Will it look the same?
The new iikeyclub.org molds, or transforms to the fit of your device.

Camp Visitors Day:
July 11th, 11-1
A handful of extremely devoted Key Clubbers from
the Chatham-Glenwood H.S. who’ve devoted their
time to beautify Camp Independence through
constructing picnic tables. Can you spot Lt. Governor
Abby Kauerauf in this photo?
Throughout the Summer, we as a District have been fortunate to develop close bonds with
the Spastics Paralysis Research Program. A program new to the Illinois-Eastern Iowa Spastics Research
program this year, Camp Independence, has been unveiled with flying colors. At Camp Independence,
in Ingleside, IL – north of Chicago, children a wide range of mental and physical ailments come
together for a week of teambuilding and fun. How do we as Key Clubbers play a role in their well-
being? As servant leaders, we have had the option to volunteer our time at the camp both June 11th
and July 11th for various projects.
On June 11th, many Kiwanis Family members from Illinois and Iowa were able to come together at
Camp Independence for the 2nd Annual Camp
Independence Beautification project.
On top of this tremendous accomplishment,
on July 11th, even more Key Clubbers, Circle K
Members and Kiwanians alike met for a
Luncheon and tour of Camp Independence.

Hello, Key Clubbers! My name is
Maria Palazzolo, and I have just
been elected as one of the eleven
International Trustees for our
organization. I am so thankful that
the members at the International
Convention gave me this
opportunity, and I am excited for
this upcoming year. The
International President will be
giving me three different districts to
advise for the upcoming Key Club year. While the three
districts will most likely not include the Illinois – Eastern
Iowa District, I will still be working with you guys because
you are my home district, and I love you all!
The three goals that I hope to implement as an
international trustee are to increase DCON attendance, to
create a program for orphaned Key Clubs, and increase the
awareness level of Key Club both locally and internationally.
These three goals are based on the actions that my club
took to become more active in the district and our
community. The ideas helped us, and I am hoping that by
helping governors and lieutenant governors implement
these ideas, the clubs will grow in membership and service.
Like I said, I am so excited for this upcoming year! If you
have any questions or just want to talk, my email is
[email protected]. Have a great year, Key Clubbers!

Hello I-I District Clubs!
Volume I, Issue 3 Illinois –Eastern Iowa District Secretary July 2013
Novak’s News
The 2013-2014 school year is just around the corner! I hope
you all are looking forward to the next year of service. One of the best
ways clubs can prepare for events, activities, and service projects is by
communicating with your Lieutenant Governor. On one of the next
pages is the contact information for the District Board. If you haven’t
talked to them lately (or at all), shoot them an email and ask for their
help; its what they are there for. If you don’t know which division
your school is, just email me at [email protected].
Additionally, to be fully prepared for the school year, every
club should submit a Club Officer Roster. A club officer roster is a sheet
of the contact information for the Board Members at a Key Club. It
helps us keep in contact with you throughout the year to give you help-
ful information about events and projects.
Filling out a Club Officer Roster is very easy! All you have to
do is fill out the excel spread sheet titled “Club_Officer_Roster” that
was attached to this email. It is also available on the district website
and being distributed by Lieutenant Governors. When you’re done,
just send it to me at [email protected].
Don’t know if your school has turned it in already for the 2013
-2014 school year? No problem! On the next page, there is a list of the
schools that have already turned it in. Our District is aiming to have
all of the Rosters in by the deadline, 9/9/13.
Thank you all for giving back you your communities!
Yours in Service,
Graham Novak

PAUER PRESS DISTRICT TREASURER NEWSLETTER
I hope you’re all enjoying your summer
break! I assume everyone is enjoying the
splendid sunny days by now. Personally, I’ve
been enjoying my summer so much that I’ve
sung Summer Nights from Grease a few times
(not well though).
The I-I district board convened for our
annual June meeting more than a month ago
and I’m proud to say that this Key Club year is
off to an incredible beginning! Not only do we
already have some new clubs chartered, but I
also achieved a goal of mine (along with much
help from Governor Will)—get the budget
approved! With quite a few revisions to the
budget prepared for last year, the new 2013-
2014 district budget has been approved by the
district board. This is a great accomplishment!
Feel free to contact myself or anyone on the
district board if you would like to know more
about the 2013-2014 district budget.
Since we’re speaking about budgets,
over the summer club treasurers should begin
to create a responsible budget for their clubs.
This can help the club organize the available
funds and prevent overspending. In this edition
of the newsletter, you’ll find important tips on
creating a club budget. If I can help in any
way, shape or form, feel free to contact me. I'll
be more than happy to help.
Together in service,
Alex Pauer

If any of the clubs in your division are on this list please make sure that they submit dues ASAP! Not paying dues means risking the club’s charter and losing a great opportunity to serve their community! I plan to send out an email to the clubs listed above, concerning their unpaid dues, in the near future. If you or your clubs have any questions about submitting dues or believe they have already submitted their dues, please don’t hesitate to contact me, I’m only an email or a phone call away. Refer to the contact information listed at the bottom of the page.
Dues deadlines to keep in mind:
November 1st Early Bird deadline
December 1st Final deadline
These dates may seem a lifetime away, but they’ll
sneak up on you very quickly! Be sure your clubs
know when/how to submit dues! I’ll send out quite a
bit of tutorials, how-to’s in the near future.

HOW TO:
CREATE A BUDGET
CAPTION YOUR PHOTO HERE
INSERT TEXT OR LOGO HERE. www.website.com
1. GATHER AND COLLABORATE EVERY EXPENSE SHEET YOU CAN FIND FOR YOUR KEY CLUB.
Since most Key Clubs have been in existence for a while, it probably won’t be too hard to find various budgets or
expense sheets. These can serve as guides for your new budget and can help you make tough decisions based
on decisions made in the past.
2. ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF MEMBERS IN THE CLUB.
The best way to estimate the amount of members in your club is to take a three year average. Basically just take
the average amount of members for the past three years and average them. Also, keep in mind if there are
increasing or decreasing patterns in the amount of members. Consider this trend when finalizing an estimate.
3. TAKE NOTE OF EVERY OTHER SOURCE OF INCOME.
If your school gives you a bit of funding each year to run Key Club; that’s great! Be sure to record that onto your
budget. Make sure every source of income is listed.
4. LIST YOUR CLUB’S ANNUAL EXPENSES.
This step may be the most difficult. Make a list of what your club usually spends money on and approximate how
much your club will need to spend on it. This is where the old budgets and expense sheets come in handy. If you
have those, you can use them as a guide to how much you should allot for each item. Be sure an advisor is
present when listing these expenses.
5. TOTAL YOUR INCOME AND EXPENSES.
This may be the easiest step. Just add them up!
6. ADJUST ANY VALUES AS NEEDED.
If your club’s expenses exceed your club’s income, that’s not good. It’s time to cut down on spending. See if
there are areas where your club could save money. In order for a budget to well...be a budget, the expenses
must not exceed the income. If your club’s expenses do not exceed the income, then you can either leave it, or
allot additional money to certain items.
And that’s it! You’re done! Thought it would never end, right? Make sure you look over your budget one more time to make sure all the values are correct and reasonable. Once the budget has been approved and set in place, be sure to review it on a regular basis to ensure that it is being followed and your club is not overspending.

Official Newsletter of the Illinois-Eastern Iowa District Statistical Secretary
Remember to keep reporting by the 10th of every
month and to contact me if you are having any trouble
regarding reporting. I have heard from a few clubs and it’s
great talking directly to you!
The next monthly report is due September 10
covering the months of June, July, and August. If your
club has missed two consecutive reports, it is currently not
in good standing. Our goal for the year as a district is 80%
reporting. Contact your lieutenant governor to find out if your club has all their
reports in and be sure to go back and submit any missed reports! If you want
credit for PR, remember to either email me or send via snail mail a version of
what was printed or published.
If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me! I’d love to hear
from you!

Akhil Sarikonda Technology Chair
THE NEW II DISTRICT WEBSITE IS LIVE AT IIKEYCLUB.ORG, CHECK IT OUT! TECH CHANGES IN THE FUTURE
Hello II Key Clubbers,
My name is Akhil Sarikonda, the 2013-2014 Illinois-Eastern Iowa District Technology Chair. I look forward to serving you all this coming year by assisting with any type of help your Club needs related to technology and renewing the current technology that is used in our District.
This year you may have already noticed some drastic changes with the II District website. The new website at iikeyclub.org is completely redesigned to provide more compelling information in a visually appealing manner. Look forward to finding many new resources on this website throughout the year. Additionally, if you would like to request certain documents or information to be added to the website, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or 630-270-6211. I would also love to get any feedback on the website, so that I can make the necessary changes!
Also, as the Technology Committee Chair, I would like to encourage clubs and divisions to further make use of the various free Google resources that exist. Organizing your club online is one way you can further enhance your club because in today’s day and age everything is going digital and access to internet is much easier. If you are interested in making this work for your club, feel free to contact me so that I can assist you in this process.
Are you trying to make a website for your club? Then, make good use of the many free resources that will help you do so such as webs.com, weebly.com, and wix.com (some of the highest rated free website builders).
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions!
Yours in Service,
Akhil Sarikonda
Google Forms Throughout the month, Statistical Secretary Natalie Walgren and I will be working together to produce new Google Forms that are simplified and innovative. We hope to reduce the forms to make clubs submit information that is relevant for us to have.
Google Groups
Along with Secretary Graham Novak, I will be creating new Google Groups for Club Presidents, Secretaries, Statistical Secretaries, Treasurers, and Advisors so that it is easier to communicate information to the intended group of people. Be on the lookout for invites to the Google Group that are going to be sent out in the near future.

I-I District Project: What is Spastic Paralysis
What is Spastic Paralysis? It’s not a lone disease, but a series of them
(Alzheimer’s Spina Bifida, brain tumors, etc.), and they cause the central
nervous system to function incorrectly. Our District has raised money for
Spastic Paralysis Research Foundation every year since 1977. The
foundation was founded by Kiwanis, an organization that we work with a
ton! Our District alone has I-I District raised $35,000 for the foundation. This
year I-I District has a goal of raising $40,000 for Spastics! We need YOUR
help to reach this goal. I will be giving each division a personalized goal
for the year (which your Lieutenant Governor will be relaying to you).
Remember, that is a goal; we want you to go ABOVE and BEYOND those
goals! If we all work together, we can reach our goal for Spastic Paralysis, which actively seeks cures to Spastic Paralysis.
Hey Mighty I-I District!
I would first off like to thank you all for your
hard work and dedication to raise money for
Spastic Paralysis this past year. Together, we
raised a little over $35,000, which is outstanding!
Be on the lookout for your personalized
club goals! I am very confident that you will all
reach those goals, and even go above and
beyond them. Keep up the great work and
together we will reach our 2013-2014 goal of
$40,000!
Feel free to contact me with any questions!

hand side of the screen and order the “In your Community Kit” this kit is
absolutely free and outlines the entire charter process for you. This kit has
helped me so much and it ships in 2-3 business days!!
HI Key Clubbers!! My name is Erin DeWitt and I am the New Club Building and
Membership Development Chair on the I-I District Board. I am so excited to hear
from you! Some people think you have to be a Board member or a Club Officer
to start a new club, but this is certainly not true. Anyone can start a new Key
Club! So start thinking about your friends that go to other schools, get them
interested and contact me to get started on building a fantastic new Key
Club!!
Of course if anyone has any
questions please feel free to
contact me at 815-508-6797 or at
my email
Want to know how to recruit new members?!?!
The Key to new membership is attitude! If you are trying to recruit new Key
Club members you have to obtain a positive attitude. These potential members
are most likely nervous about talking to you so make them feel comfortable by
engaging them in an easy conversation. Be their friends’ first, then make them
feel like they are a part of something bigger, everyone wants to feel like they
belong!!
Please feel free to contact us at [email protected]
I would like to invite the youth leaders of your school to join a national youth leader training program called Key Leader. Found-ed in 2005, Key Leader is an international program in 7 countries and 39 states- and still growing.
Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership program for today's young leaders. This life-changing event focuses on service leadership as the first, most meaningful leadership-development skill. A Key Leader will learn the most important lesson of leader-ship—it comes from helping others succeed.
Participants begin by attending a Key Leader conference, which is a weekend retreat. Large and small group workshops, dis-cussions and team-building activities take place over the course of the weekend. Students have opportunities to learn leadership skills that will help them to change their schools, communities, and world for the better. While ex-ploring leadership in a whole new way, participants will make amazing new friends and have experiences they will never forget. Positive, ongoing interaction with other Key Leader graduates offers continuing reinforcement, encour-agement and growth of leadership skills.
In April of 2014, the second Key Leader confer-ence will be held at East Bay Hudson Camp in Bloom-ington, IL. More than Key Club members are invited! Lead-ers of clubs, student organizations, and sports ages 14-18 are encouraged to attend. Registration information will come out in the fall. Please contact us with any questions you might have.

Hello fellow I-I District
Key Club members!
On July 13th, the I-I
District of Circle K
International hosted
their annual Summer
Social at Starved Rock
State Park. Sadly, I was
unable to attend;
however, I have heard
wonderful things from
the event and hope
that everyone who
was able to attend
had a fabulous time.
Please keep a look out
for more K-Family
events and ways to
incorporate other
members of Kiwanis!
I-I Key Clubbers at Summer Social
Miss Summer Social? Attend Circle K’s next
big event in January, Holiday Embrace!
This year’s theme will be Harry Potter.
Contact the K-Family
Relations committee if
you have any questions
about K-Fam expansion
or upcoming activities.

Awards
General Awards Info
As everyone knows, awards
are a great way to earn recognition
for your club and get your name out
there. Once again this year, the I-I
District is offering many awards
including distinguished
officers/members, Connect the K’s
award, and the Spastics Paralysis
award. The applications (you can fill
out as many as you want!) are pretty
simple to fill out, and then all you
have to do is mail the applications to
either Mr. Hall or Mylinh Tran by the
dates listed in the box below. They
will be ready sometime around the
middle of September, so be on the
lookout!
Annual Achievement
Report
The Annual Achievement
Report is a required report that gives
both our district and Key Club
International information about the
demographics of your club what
your club does to help your
community. And, the best part is,
your school could earn awards and
recognition on both the district and
international levels! If this sounds like
a good deal to you, be on the
lookout for the form on our district
website, iikeyclub.org under the
awards tab!
