BACK TO SCHOOL
Anatomy of a
Key Clubber
Back to School ALREADY? It's that time of year again! Lets strap on those back packs and get ourselves prepared for School. With the commencement of school, let's get back into the rhythm of our beloved Key Club. Start thinking of ways to reel in those freshman to the best thing that they have ever encountered. KEY CLUB!
Now, the only way to ensure success is to PLAN. Jumping into the school year with no idea of what you'll be doing is not the best idea. I suggest having a meeting before school starts. Plan out what fundraisers you will be doing, what service projects you will have, your meeting schedule and even when are the officer meetings. Above all, stay organized! I suggest having a key club calendar and binder or notebook!
Key Club Basics .
Know the Key Club Pledge? Make
it a regular part of your meetings!
I pledge on my honor to uphold the objects of key club
international, to build my home, school, and
community, to serve my nation and god, and to combat all forces which
undermine these institutions. The Key Club Chant is an
ESSENTIAL! I feel GOOD!
OH, I feel so good! Uh! Double it up! UH! UH!
Triple it up! UH! UH! UH! One long UH!
UHHHHHHHHHHHH! Rapper Style!
Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh! (with rapper rythm)
Dont forget to thrust!
Freshman Orientation!
Let's try to reel in new members!
1. Key Club info on Power Points, Tri-fold boards, or slide shows! Keep it fun, fresh, and attractive!
2. Be inviting, and friendly! Make the first move!
3. Hand out cards with when and where your first meeting will be! 4. Other great ideas are hug me signs, spirit gear, and candy!
What will attract people to your club?
Tips for a
FUN and SUCESSFUL year!
Have frequent officer meetings!
Delegate! Committees are great
ways to spread out responsibility!
Keep it FUN! Ice breakers BABY!
PLAN LIKE NO TOMORROW!
Fundraisers, service projects, etc!
Stay involved in the division!
Cherish and love your Kiwanians!
Keep them involved!

What is your favorite thing about key club? My favorite
thing about Key Club is meeting new people.
Describe your experience at Icon?
-My experience at ICON was simply, amazing. It was my first
time to the East Coast, and I cannot wait to go back for
ICON 2013 in Washington DC.
There was two parts of my ICON
experience, the first one was the
District Tour. It consisted of 45
amazing Key Clubbers that live on
Key Club blood. I got to roam
Disney World with them without
any adult supervision. I got to get
out of the crummy weather in
Washington and go wear a suit of
sunscreen because of the 100
degree weather. I got to meet all
of my favorite Disney characters growing up such as
Woody and Buzz from Toy Story! I got to buy a Harry
Potter wand from his castle at Universal Studios
Orlando. But really, there is not much to explain about
the tour without making you guys jealous! The secon d
part of my ICON experience was the Convention! The
meet and greet was alright, not as good as DCON,
but it was cool trading pins with people all over the
United States and the World. ICON is pretty much the
same thing as DCON, just in house of delegates we
voted for International Board. House of Delegates
went passed the scheduled end time and everything
was pushed back one hour, expect curfew sadly.
There are two dances at ICON, one is for The Eliminate
Project, and the other is a themed Dance. This year’s themed dance was 80's Neon Themed. I did not go, but
it was okay. Overall, ICON was an amazing experience. I recommend you all go to next year! I promise you
that you will return home with new friends, a lot of pins from different places, and great memories that will last
forever.

What’s Going On?
International and District!
“The Pacific Northwest
is the beginning, the
world is our goal”
– Past Kiwanis Governor; Frank
Morehouse
What’s KCCP?
KCCP was founded in 2010 by past
Governor Frank Morehouse. It was
inspired by a little girl named Penny,
who was diagnosed with a brain
tumor. She later lost her fight against
cancer. KCCP is in honor of Penny.
ATTENTION TO ALL PNW KEY CLUBEBRS!
KCCP is our DISTRICT
PROJECT! As the Pacific Northwest district,
let us join together to find a cure
for children’s cancer. There is no
end to this project until the cure
is found.
What can YOU do to help?
Make Trauma Dolls for cancer
patients
Fundraise, Fundraise, And
Fundraise!
Educate others on this needy
cause.
Volunteer your time!
Make activity books!
WHAT IF YOU COULD
SAVE A BABY’S LIFE? Maternal and neonatal tetanus
(MNT) kills one baby every nine
minutes — that's 60,000 babies
every year who will never grow up,
make their mothers laugh, play with
friends or dream about the future.
The effects of the disease are
excruciating — tiny newborns suffer
repeated, painful convulsions and
extreme sensitivity to light and
touch. A significant number of
women die from MNT each year
too.
EDUCATE Educate yourself about MNT, and share
what you learn with your club, your
community, your family and your school.
ADVOCATE Let the world know that the poorest, most
vulnerable babies and mothers need our
help. Rally others to get involved. Add a
link to www.TheEliminateProject.org on
your club website.
INVEST Be among the first to invest in this global
campaign for children. Make an initial gift
today.
ELIMINATE Over the next five years, the work you do
to eliminate MNT will change the world.
Together, Kiwanis and
UNICEF will eliminate MNT and give the
poorest families the chance to lead the
healthy lives they deserve.
