Message from the Editor
Hey there, Florida District! I am so excited to serve the mighty, mighty Florida District as
this year’s District Editor. I look forward to interacting with your
clubs on social media, communicating with club editors through
email updates, producing The Sunshine Source, and providing you
with cool new tools you can use to advertise your club to potential
new members.
You are all more than welcome to send me articles and pictures
from your club’s projects, especially projects that involve Feeding
Our Future. I promise to make myself available for all of your Key
Club needs and encourage you to reach out to me with any
questions or suggestions you may have.
Don’t forget to tag us when posting project pictures! I look
forward to a great year with you all.
Yours in Service,
Jada Mohammed District Editor

Governor’s Message Florida District,
I truly cannot believe I am here writing you this message as your new
District Governor! I loved meeting so many of you at District Conference,
and I hope this message reaches all of you whom I did not get the
opportunity to meet.
In the past month since our Conference, I’ve already seen great excitement
for service. I hope that this year brings a plethora of new service
opportunities and the chance for us to grow as leaders. Also, I would like to
encourage you to reach out to your local Circle K or Kiwanis Club and
form K-Kids and Builders Clubs. Working closely with them will only
enable us to have a larger impact.
One of my favorite things about Key Club is that we truly are an upside
down pyramid in that the members are the most important aspect of our
organization. We would not be where we are without all of you!
I would like to thank you for your excitement about my Governor’s Project,
Feeding Our Future. Again, I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve
you, and I cannot wait to continue to serve our homes, schools, and
communities!
Yours in Service Always,
Martha Grace Hagan
District Governor
Florida District of Key Club International
Feeding our Future
Through the Growth of...
Food– By creating gardens and increasing collection drives, we will grow and obtain ample amounts of produce to donate to the
hungry.
Literacy– Key Clubbers will work together with K-Kids and teach younger students how to read. We will also inform the younger
generation about food supply origins so they will not take it for
granted.
Service– Together, we will strengthen all levels of the Kiwanis
Family by chartering Builder’s Clubs, K-Kids Clubs, and Key
Clubs to increase productivity.
Reaching out to the hungry and homeless is the main goal. We can
make a large difference by working together. I love how so many of
you have already reached out to me with questions or for help in
planning projects. If you ever have any questions or would like to
send me photos (I’d love to see them!), please email me at

Summer Service Ideas
Summer is the perfect
time for beach
outings, barbeques,
lemonade– and
service! Here are
some fun ways to
continue serving your
community while
school is out.
Beach Cleanup: Beach cleanups are great for
incorporating bonding time
into a project. Members can
clean up the area and then
enjoy the beach together.
Food Gardens: Helping a youth center start a
food garden is a great way to
teach children the importance of
appreciating where their food
comes from.
Food Banks: Helping those in need get
access to food is a wonderful
summer activity. This project
is a Governor’s Project.
Puppy Presents: This project perfectly combines making dogs happy and
recycling. You can easily create adorable dog toys by cutting an
old t-shirt into strips, braiding the strips together, and tying a
knot on each end and the middle.
Summer Camps/
Youth Centers: Summer Camps
and Youth Centers
are always packed
during summer
months and
looking for helping
hands.
Book Drive: Collecting gently used books
and donating them to children
in need is a great way to en-
courage learning while school
is out.
DCON Rewind
The weekend of April 28th to May 1st, 2016 was the perfect
combination of service, friendship, and, the fan favorite,
DCON bacon. For the 78th year, the Florida District of Key
Club International hosted their annual District Convention
at The Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando. Attendees
connected with members from other clubs, met with candi-
dates for District and International office, participated in con-
tests, enjoyed informative workshops, and bonded with their
Kiwanis Family. Key Note Speaker, Kevin Wazner, had the
crowd (and himself) roaring with laughter with his fun ap-
proach to getting an important message across. On the final
night of DCON, attendees
were invited to the Governor’s
Ball where they said goodbye to
the old District Board and wel-
comed in the new one. DCON
2016 was eventful and left at-
tendees excited for next year.
