Key Club 101
Mission: Key Club is an
international, student-led
organization providing its members
with opportunities to perform
service, build character, and
develop leadership.
Motto : Caring- Our Way of Life.
The three Key Club colors all stand
for something: blue stands for
unwavering character, white stands
for purity, and gold stands for
service.
The core values of Key Club
International are leadership,
character building, caring, and
inclusiveness.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army has this to say about their donation kettles, “When others donate to your kettle, they're giving far more than money. They're giving meals to a hungry child, warm beds to a homeless family, and hope to those who need it most.”
The Salvation Army is an organization that raises money for impoverished Americans. They serve, on average, one person per second. That is 30 million people per year! Division 58 is taking a part in this service through bell ringing. If you would like to volunteer in an area near you, or you just would like to know more information go to www.salvationarmyusa.org .
The Eliminate Project Kiwanis International and UNICEF have teamed up
to ELIMINATE Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus! With
your help we can wipe this disease off the Earth! It has
already been eliminated in 20 countries, but it is still a
threat in 39! 60,000 babies die per year, as well as
several mothers, from MNT.
Did you know that 1 child dies every 20 seconds from a
disease that could have been prevented by a vaccine? Well, the vaccine for this disease is only $1.80. MNT is
caused when tetanus spores, which are found in the soil,
come into contact with an open cut during childbirth. It
leads to convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch so mothers cannot hold their baby when it is born.
At this point there is not much people can do. The road
to ending MNT will be hard, but helping out in fundraisers
is easy! Through the hard work of Kiwanians, UNICEF, and volunteers like you, we will see an end to MNT!
