Hello Division Eighteen,
This is LeeAnn Owens, your Lieutenant Governor. I hope that you’re all enjoying the last bits of the fall foliage! You’ve all been doing a great job running your fundraisers and service projects!
Thank you to those of you who completed your MRF’s on time! The rest of you, you need to get them in.
My Kiwanis Committee Representative, Mrs. Vail, can be reached at (518)783-6326 or [email protected]. She is a great resource for your advisors, as are your sponsoring Kiwanis Club Presidents. As always, please contact me if there’s ever anything that I can help you with or questions that I can answer!

II.Upcoming EventsKey Club Week- November 3rd-7thMonday- ”Show 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 in local stores, your school Web site, community newspapers—even on the radio. Tuesday- ”Kudos to the Key players”—Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teachers, advisors and other Key players. Wednesday- ”Connect the K’s”—Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and is a member of the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or Aktion clubs and team up for a joint service project. Thursday- ”Bring a friend to Key Club”—More members = more service. Increasing the amount of service Key Club performs increases the impact Key Club has on the world. Bring a friend, or two, or more to your next Key Club meeting. Friday- ”Your 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 from the other Key Club Week days. Whatever idea you choose, take it and run with it.Leadership Training Conference 2015- March 27th- 29thThis is the best way to learn from and connect with Key Clubbers from all parts of New York!
