Greetings Georgia District of Key Club International,
I hope you have all had an AWESOME start to your school and service year! For those of you who at-tended GLTC I hope you had a fabulous time, I know I did. This is a pivitol year for Georgia Key Club. We have many large goals to accomplish and we cannot do this without your help. We have huge fundraising goals and goals for large event attendance! I am so excited to be apart of such an amazing year! Be sure to pay close attention to not only updates from me, but from your Lt. Governor as well.
This year we will be hosting two new events in our dis-trict. We will be “Connecting the K’s” with our Kiwanis Family Day at Georgia Tech. This event is also an amaz-ing fundraiser for the Eliminate Project! $5 of every ticket sold will be credited to that clubs fundraising goal for the Eliminate Project. We will also be host-ing a Key Club Day at the Capitol! Students will have the opportunity to meet their legislature and tour the capitol.
I am so honored to be serving as District Governor in such a great year! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you have!

Since 1989 Georgia Key Club has had an amazing partenership with the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes. This is an orga- nizatio that takes in abused and neglected children across the state. Sponsorship by the Georgia Sheriffs Department and state fund-ing cover some needs, but not all. Georgia Key Club Members have built buildings, created picnic areas, and donated items for the past 25 years. This year we continue “Living the Legacy” as we expand on the Learn- ing Center at the Pineland Campus in LaGrange, GA. This campus is an all boys campus and also has camp facilities for church groups and childrens’ groups. In 1999 Key Club-bers built the Learning Center on the campus as a place for their offices and meetings. Since then the Pineland Campus has grown by leaps and bounds and in 2009 we were approached about expanding the center. Key Club is raising $150,000 to com-plete the expansions on this center and we are already halfhay there! We had the ground breaking for the center June 1st and it will be completed very soon! We still have $70,000 left to go to finish the project so continue to fundraise!!!
Host Fundraisers to meet 400 Dollar Club Goal- i.e. Penny wars, duct tape a teacher to the wall.
Visit your local campus and do a service project with them Collect School supplies or tolietries for your local campus
An annual motorcycle and car show put on every year by the Harris County Sher-iffs’ Office- They have offered the club that brings the most people (riders or vol-
unteers) will have $200 donated to their club goal! When: October 6th 9am-2pm
Where: Harris County Community Center End at Georgia Sheriffs’ Campus in Lagrange
What: Get community service hours, meet people and learn about the youth homes.

Growth is important to every club. Here are some tips to ensure your club success in the next year.
-Host a membership drive- let it be open to anyone and offer some form of food like pizza
-Have a school wide assembly and talk about Key Club-Set up an informational table at lunch where club officers can sit and sign up new
members-Encourage past club members to bring one friend to the first meeting!
MONDAY, NOV. 4Show your K in every way—Show people what Key Club is all about! Spread the word by
wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key Club Week.
TUESDAY, NOV. 5Kudos to the Key players. Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teach-
ers, advisors and other Key players.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 6Connect the Ks—Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and
is a member of the Kiwanis family. Connect with local Kiwanis family for a project.
THURSDAY, NOV. 7Bring a friend to Key Club—More members = more service. Increasing the amount of ser-
vice Key Club performs increases the impact Key Club has on the world.
FRIDAY, NOV. 8Your way—This is your club’s chance to do its own thing and make its mark. Pick a project,
plan a recruitment party or combine activities.

Trick or Treat for UNICEf is a fundraiser that clubs can participate in to raise money for The Eliminate Project. Clubs can be creative with this fundraiser and maybe host a fall festival with it or even make a competition between classes or club members. If your
school has participated in Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEf in the past they will automatically re-cieve boxes to participate again. If your club has not participated n the past, but would
like to visit www.trickortreatforunicef.org/order and order boxes for your club today!
What is it?
A project for all the Kiwanis Family to
Eliminate Maternal and Neonatal Teat-
nus from across the globe. How can you help?Fundraise: Just $1.80 can save a moth-
er and her future babies from maternal and neonatal teatnus.

Eliminate Week.
Club Goal
$180 to save 100

They are the middle school (Builder’s Club) and elementary school (K-Kids) ver-isons of Key Club. Your Key Club can greatly benefit by sponsoring one, because
those members will grow up and hopefully become members of your club. A Key Club can sponsor both of these clubs without the help of a Kiwanis Club!
Key Club Members can complete service projects with the other clubs and act as mentors to the younger members of the Kiwanis Family. To find out more about
chartering a Builders Club or K-Kids visit kiwanisone.org today!
