Eastside Rally
The Eastside Rally is an event where Key Clubbers from the east side (others are welcome) meet
together and participate in workshops and fun ice
breakers! There are also trainings sessions for
officers which are mandatory for the ones in the
area. By the end of the rally we hope that you are
more excited about the upcoming District convention
and we hope that you feel like you have grown as a
Key Club member!
This year’s theme is “Warriors of Service!”. The event takes place at Moses Lake High School
on August 16th, 2014 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. and
be sure to bring money! Food will be provided.
We hope to see you there!
Key Leader is a weekend
retreat where students get
the chance to grow in
leadership, make friends,
and discover who they truly
are. The cost is $200;
however, Key Clubbers are
encouraged to ask a local
Kiwanis Club or school to
sponsor them.

Threads of Hope
Threads of Hope is an organization that helps poor families in the Philippines. Some of the girls go to the beach and are forced into prostitution because that is the only way to get money. Alex and Christine Kuhlow (the founders of Threads of Hope) took a trip to the Philippines and were inspired to help these people. There are people who make bracelets over there and then they are taken to the states to be sold for one to two dollars. Clubs can use this as a fundraiser and half of the proceeds goes to the families in the Philippines and the other half goes to your club. Clubs from Division 58 plan on participating in this fundraiser and are going to donate the profits to another charity organization! I encourage other clubs to do this as well!
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!
