A Letter from Your LTG
With love, from me to you.
Dear Division 28,
September was crazy! With school revving back up and
all the regions and divisions putting together their Fall
Training Conferences and Fall Rally craziness and
upcoming standardized testing, there wasn't much time
left for sleep.
Basically everyone I know has gotten sick or sniffly. I feel
like I'm in an apocalypse movie. Hopefully you haven't
been taken by epidemic. Drink lots of water if you have.
And ask me for medicinal Asian tea (this will be about the
same time when you ask me Key Club-related questions
yay).
There is so much homework. Sooo much homework. And
most of you are also out there doing crazy things like
marching band and orchestra in addition to Key Club. If
you find yourself getting overwhelmed, I'm happy to help
out with whatever you need to get done. Just come to
me and talk about it!
I had so much fun at my Fall Training Conference just
from meeting you all. I want to thank all of you for being
amazing and for coming out to support all these great
causes. Key Club is great because of you!
And now, nap time.
Love,
Nancy
Important Announcement:
In honor of the amazingly fashionable Jayce
Williams, the official color for Division 28 are
now teal. Best go clean out your wardrobes,
kiddos. We're getting fabulous this month.
Thanks, the Management.
DIVISION SPOTLIGHT
Chamali Raigama, Lake - among so
many others who were lifesavers
during the Fall Training Conference.
Everyone can thank her for the
awesome dance music we had!
Jonathan Guajardo, GCM - The
Gangnam style master who lead the
galloping conga line through our FTC
ninja game!
Carlos Sotelo, Sam Rayburn - For
posting on the divisional page. I
want all of you to do this! The page
should be used for everyone to get
know what's happening around our
division and for people come
together and share ideas. Oh for
scraping together 11 people to ride
the tri-divisional bus a week before
Fall Rally. (You know, nbd). This child
never ceases to amaze me.
Marcy Higginbotham, Dobie - For
getting her brand new club
members to go all the way to Dallas
and experience Fall Rally! Hope you
guys had fun!
Everyone from REL - Thanks so much
for the posters, the tiny drinks, and all
your help during my FTC. I couldn't
have done it without you.
Robert E. Lee Ganders are
ferocious creatures.
Coming Up...
ALL CLUBS, read through everything. This is some good stuff right here.
3S/28 Social
Poor Bay City.
If you've ever bothered to look at a map of Division
28, you'll see there's an outlier known as Bay City
High School. Since they have to over two hours to
get to any event in Baytown or Clear Lake, I'm going
to be having my next PCM in closer to their area so
they can get involved in divisional stuff too!
The next PCM will be held as a joint social with
division 3S! That's right, yours truly is teaming up with
Jennifer Key Tuggle Hinze, the phenomenal LTG
you've heard so much about, for an afternoon at
Hermann Park in Sugarland on Saturday, October
21st. I'll be emailing out more details really soon.
Hopefully you guys can all make it to Sugarland and
finally meet these Bay City clubbers! Come for a
giant hill to roll down, a beautiful day, and delicious
warm food: the perfect afternoon with your K-family.
Deadlines!
Monthly Reports -
Oct 5 Secretary Monthly
reports for your September
antics are due October 5th!
Don't forget to include your FTC
attendance if your club went!
The task of the month is to
update your club's officer
contact information on the
district website. Ask me or D-
secretary Kevin Duong if you've
got any questions.
YOF - Oct 15 Got a
project? The due date for the
Youth Opportunity Fund
application is coming up in less
than two weeks! Find the
application on the T-O website.
Dues - Nov 16 Turning in
your dues is what makes your
club a Key Club! Be an early bird
and get 100 monthly reporting
points for turning in your dues
early! Send in $12.50 to
International for at least 15
members to:
Key Club International
3636 Woodview Trace
Indianapolis IN 46268
Poor Bay
City.
The Didi Project Not sure what to do for your next service project? Here are some causes and events to
keep in mind.
Wait the what? The Didi Project is a scholarship for families who can't afford to send their
kids to the Westview School.
What counts as completing the divisional?
Volunteering. Aaaaand fundraising. That's pretty much it. Post on the Facebook page or shoot
me an email if you want to make sure something else counts.
Wristbands
Throughout the year, we'll be selling wristbands. Each club will need to tell me how many their
school would like to sell and I'll order enough for everyone in the division. Selling wristbands by
themselves, however, isn't very efficient, so I'm trying to think up an easy way to pair the
wristbands with some other thing, like baked goods. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
Walk Now for Autism Speaks
When: Saturday, October 13, 2012
8:00am - 12:00pm (everything before 10am is just ceremony, but be sure
to arrive before 10 to take advantage of free parking!)
Where: Reliant Park
What: Join Clear Lake High School Key Clubbers in an awareness walk for one of the biggest
autism awareness organizations in the country! Register at walknowforautismspeaks.org and join
the Westview School team. Fundraising is encouraged, but if you have friends that don't know
about autism in our community, bring them along just for the fun of it! Ask me if you have any
questions on how to register.
Why: Free water, music, and fun while getting your daily dose of healthy physical activity. All for
a great cause!
Didi Project Fair? This is a huge carnival thing that I'm going to be holding at Clear Lake
High School in January. It seems like a long ways off, but I'm planning stuff NOW. It's going to be
the biggest divisional fundraiser we'll be having this year. Stay tuned!
If you want to volunteer at a certain venue and have it count for autism, talk to me about it first.
Mainly because I'd want the rest of the division to know about it so as many people as possible
can come help out!
Beyond the Club
One of the best tihngs about Key Club is that it's so extensive. You're part of a gigantic K-family.
But you won't meet them just by sittin there! You have to go out and do things. Like the following:
K-family Interaction
Key Club is only the high school branch of the K-family! Our adult
counterports are called Kiwanis clubs, and yours is there to help you
fund your projects! Call them up and hold a joint social or work with
them on a fundraiser. You could invite them to a certain walkathon
at Reliant Park and have fun meeting them while raising
awareness for a good cause. If you don't know the contact
information of your Kiwanis club, talk to me and I'll hook you up.
Brothers Reaching Out
If you haven't heard about the Children's Miracle Network, you must be new.
This is a truly astounding network of hospitals that provides the best and latest
possible healthcare to any child who needs it, even if they have to do it for
free.
If you haven't gotten one already, message me if you want a Dance Marathon
committee application! Texas' first ever dance marathon will be held in
February and the Governor's Project Chairwoman, Jennifer Hinze, is going to
need a lot of help. Apply today!
Project Eliminate
Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) is an easily-preventable
disease caused by poor access to sanitation and healthcare. Just
$1.80 pays for the volunteer and the vaccination that could save the life of a newborn infant.
Kiwanis International is partnering up with UNICEF to raise $110 million by the year 2015.
Complete the District Initiative for the next two years and receive both halves of the Eliminate
patch for your club.
Children: Their Future, Our Focus
By working with UNICEF, March of Dimes, and Children's Miracle Network, Kiwanis is challenging
all its clubs to make an international impact on the children of the world. Go online for service
project ideas to see how you can help serve the next generation.
What Happens in September...
Gets featured in this newsletter to be remembered forever.
Secretaries, don't forget!
Bringing stuff to the Divisional CMN drive
counted towards completing the Governor's
Project! We raised $84.78 in drive goods, which
you count under "Money Raised or Spent".
FALL RALLY
11 Key Clubbers from Sam Rayburn High School and 5 from Dobie High went to
Fall Rally on Saturday, September 29! They got to meet the amazing Jennifer
Key Tuggle Hinze from 3S, District Secretary Kevin Duong, and many others.
The widely-anticipated DCON theme was revealed by Governor Brian O'Hara.
to be... Haunted Mansion!
Thank you so much to Carlos Sotelo and Marcy Higginbotham for getting your
club members there! I couldn't get my Clear Lakers to budge for such a long
distance (and it turned out that I wasn't even allowed to go, which I feel awful
about), so you guys have earned my eternal respect.
FALL TRAINING CONFERENCE
Over 50 members from 7 clubs attended! Thank you
Sterling, GCM, Ball, Sam Rayburn, BCA, Lake so much for
coming and of course Lee High School for hosting the
event! I hope you all had fun and are making good use of
the resource folders you all got.
By the way, if you missed the FTC (or left early or I
accidentally took yours home) (...sorry Ball and Lee Dx)
you're missing your resource folder and training and
updates and lots of things! Ahh! Talk to me ASAP if you're
from La Marque, Pasadena, Barbers Hill, Texas City, Dobie,
or Bay City about me coming to visit your clubs!
A NEW ADDITION TO DIVISION 28
This month, Dobie Key Club was
officially chartered! Welcome
Marcy Higginbotham among our
presidents and Ms. Carrizal among
our sponsors. They're already off
to a great start and have already
done service projects and sent
people to Fall Rally. This is going to
be an awesome year. I can't wait
for everyone to meet!
