GOVERNOR’S PROJECTOur District Governor, Christina
Nystrom, is pursuing a project
called Kids Against Hunger.
Kids Against Hunger is an
organization that has been
feeding families around the
world since 1999. With the help
of volunteers, bags of rice, soy,
seasoning, and vegetables are put
together, and sent to families
across the world. You have
opportunities to package food in
the Minneapolis area, at Fall
Rally, and at Spring Convention
this year. Our goal this year is to
pack 500,000 meals! If you are
interested in putting together a
club event to help out, please let
me know. Also, your club can
help raise money for the event if
you are unable to actually go and
package the meals.
What Is MEP?MEP stands for Major Emphasis
Programs. Since 1925, Key Club
International has provided more
than 12 million hours of service to
homes, schools and communities
each year. From building bridges, to
collecting over six tons of food,
thousands of dollars raised for
cancer research, helping eliminate
iodine deficiency disorder, Key
Club International plays a vital role
in serving the children of the world.
Every Key Club has the authority to
select its own service projects
because there usually are many
more service needs in a community
than there are service clubs and
agencies to meet them. However, all
Key Clubs are asked to participate
in the Major Emphasis Program
(MEP): “Children: Their Future,
Our Focus.” Our three programs
that we work with are Children’s
Miracle Network, March of
Dimes, and Unicef. Our service
initiative for the year of 2008-2010
was live to learn.

President’s Council MeetingAs Lieutenant Governor one of my duties is to hold regular President Council’s Meetings. These are very important. The fact is, we all live quite a ways from eachother, and to ensure that things are being discussed I must meet with all the president’s of each club. These meetings should last only about a half hour and won’t be very long. It is a time for the presidents to ask questions about events, organization, and district events. It is also a time for me to make sure all the clubs are running smoothly. If for some reason the club is facing some sort of issue, I can be of assistance in helping solve the problem. At the first meeting we will be talking about what your plans are for the first school year meeting and the major service projects for the year. The meeting will be held August 16th at 8 p.m. on Skype. If the club president cannot make it, have your vice president attend the meeting instead. My Skype user name is natalya.thakur477 or search me by Natalya Thakur. If you do not have a skype account, it is reallllllly easy to make one. Also, we will not be using webcams, just the chat, so do not worry about purchasing one. If you have any questions please let me know in advance.
Officer Training!!!Officer training is basically getting to know your school board members. Unfortunately we will not be hosting a district officer training, but I encourage you to host your own within clubs. For example you might meet at one persons house, and have everyone bring something to eat and share with the rest of the board. Then from there you could start with games, and planning the year (while at the same time establishing what each person should do). Presidents should be in charge of this overall. If you look at the Club Bites page of this newsletter there is a link with all the board position requirements. As a board you should review them and establish your own rules and regulations. Please try to have this organized for the month of August!

Dues, Dues, and more Dues
This year I want to stress the importance of getting in club dues! This is a annual fee that each club member usually pays. It is important to understand that if your club did not pay dues last year, you must pay this year’s and last year’s dues by this winter’s deadline. The deadline for dues is December 1st 2010. I know this is a very early notice, but trust me, it usually takes a while to collect everyone’s dues and register
