History

Between 1973 and 1974, daughters of a past Kiwanis District Governor Sid Smith wanted to join a service or-

ganization. Key Club was the only one existing at that time, but his daughters weren't able to join because it

was an all-male club. Smith wanted his girls to have the same opportunities as men so he started a club called

Keyettes. The name was changed to "Keywanettes" in the mid-70s because a women's organization on the

east coast already had the rights to the name. It was through the efforts of the Cal-Nev-Ha District Kiwanis

Sponsored Youth Advisors and high school principals that a program was made available to the young women

that provided the same opportunities that young men had in Key Club. Today KIWIN’S and Key Club are co-

educational.

In the beginning, Keywanettes was the fastest growing high school organization in the nation. There used to

be four districts. However, the Texas district merged with the Key Club of Texas. There is only one club left in the

Carolinas; being the area's sole club, there is no district. There is no Virginia club anymore, and all these events

have left one district left - California-Nevada-Hawaii KIWIN’S. It has been the strongest and largest with over 50

clubs (and growing) and 2,500 members.

Keywanettes became KIWIN'S when the House of Delegates convened at the 1995 Cal-Nev-Ha District Con-

vention. KIWIN'S comes from the Otchipew language and translates to "people, men and women, working to-

gether in service." The name was changed to dispel gender specific connotations and promote growth.

On April 2001, the House of Delegates voted the Cal-Nev-Ha KIWIN’S District to become a district of Key Club

International. Therefore, Key Club International has two districts in California, Nevada, and Hawaii: Cal-Nev-Ha

Key Club and Cal-Nev-Ha KIWIN’S.

Why is KIWIN’S spelled with all Caps & an Apostrophe?

While some claim KIWIN'S is grammatically incorrect, it is ALWAYS spelled in caps with an apostro-

phe. KIWIN'S is not an acronym. However, it is written in all caps with the apostrophe to show the

district’s unique and individual spirit. The apostrophe is an accent to help KIWIN'S standout, for it is

unlike any other youth sponsored organization. When written in all caps, KIWIN'S certainly is con-

spicuous, thus representing how KIWIN'S is prominent in the school and community.

Key Club International Pledge

The Key Club International pledge is said to honor the Kiwanis Family and to praise the leader-

ship development, services we have given to the community. It is as followed:

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 tend to undermine these institutions.

Kiwanis Advisors

Within KIWIN’S, the organization’s biggest supporters have been the Kiwanis advisors. Their

guidance and sponsorship have made it possible for the KIWIN’S organization to exist.

Kiwanis advisors supervise members at all club, divisional and district functions. They are the

liaisons between Kiwanis and KIWIN’S.

Their tireless efforts and commitment to this organization have allowed KIWIN’S to help the

world, one child and one community at a time.

6

KIWIN’S Relationship with Key Club International

KIWIN’S is one of the 30+ districts of Key Club International. Therefore, there is no difference

between KIWIN’S and Key Club because KIWIN’S is a Key Club district. We have a different

name due to our unique history, but other than that, KIWIN’S has the same initiatives as its sis-

ter districts to improve the community and world through the work of high school students.

The KIWIN’S district of Key Club International exclusively has the most average service hours

per member than any other sponsored youth organization. Our Key Club district is known for

our infectious enthusiasm and closely-knit, familial environment.

7

Kiwanis Family Tree

KIWIN’S is one of the many service leadership programs sponsored by Kiwanis Interna-

tional. Members of the Kiwanis Family include K-Kids, Builders Club, Key Club, Circle K,

and Aktion Club. Key Club has approximately 250,000 members in over 5,000 clubs. Cir-

cle K, the largest collegiate service organization of its kind, boasts 12,600 members.

Meanwhile K-Kids, Builders Club, and Aktion Club collectively have 13,000 members. In

total, Kiwanis sponsors about 7,000 youth service clubs with nearly 320,000 youth mem-

bers. Accordingly, when you include the 350,000 Kiwanis members, the entire Kiwanis

family has more than 500,000 members from all around the world!

District & International Events

Fall Rally: Each year in November/December the District hosts two Fall Rallies (North &

South). Fall Rally is not only a way to pump up members for the upcoming year but also

serves the purpose to raise money for KIWIN’S minor Emphasis District Project: Pediatric Trau-

ma Program. Specific events include Penny Wars, and cheer battles all fundraise money for

PTP.

District Convention: DCON is the last and most important event in the KIWIN’S year. It marks

the end and beginning of the KIWIN’S year. Clubs have the chance to win several awards

as well as bond and learn about KIWIN’S. The location and date varies each year, but it is

usually at the end of April.

International Convention: ICON is the last event in the Key Club International year. It marks

the end and beginning of the new Key Club International year. The purpose of this conven-

tion is to elect the International Officers, review accomplishments of the past year, and set

policies for the coming year.

District Projects

This year, the District Projects of KIWIN’S include Minor Emphasis: Pediatric Trauma Program,

Major Emphasis: Live2Learn and District Emphasis Project ELIMINATE.

Minor Emphasis: Pediatric Trauma Program

Established in 1992, Pediatric Trauma Program, our Minor Emphasis,

is a main focus of KIWIN'S in conjunction with Cal-NevHa Kiwanis.

Pediatric Trauma affects children from infancy to age nineteen. It is

a result of motor vehicle accidents, physical abuse, drowning acci-

dents, falls, and animal bites, making it the leading cause of death

of children in the United States. Every year it results in sixteen million

emergency visits and twenty thousand deaths. To prevent these ac-

cidents and injuries from happening, KIWIN'S has focused on

fighting Pediatric Trauma through raising funds and by increasing

general awareness through education.

15

Major Emphasis: Live2Learn

"Children: Their Future, Our Focus. Live2Learn"

Realizing the need and interest in supporting the MEP through hands on service, a new ser-

vice initiative will be created on a two-year basis. All of the hands on service provided to

children by Key Club International members can be directed to a single area of need to

make a substantial impact. This service initiative directs and focuses the attention of KIWIN'S

members to serve children in a specific hands-on approach. KIWIN'S members currently will

focus their time and talents on Live2Learn, specifically focused on 5-9 year old youth, with

the main goals of promoting education and building literary skills. This program not only cre-

ates endless possibilities to strengthen the common goal of service, but also allows each KI-

WIN'S member to develop into a well-rounded individual community leader and lifelong

advocate for children's education.

District Emphasis Project ELIMINATE

Kiwanis International and UNICEF have

joined forces to eliminate maternal and

neonatal tetanus. Neonatal tetanus kills

one baby every nine minutes—nearly 60,000 newborn children every year. A significant

number of women also die due to maternal tetanus. The effects of the disease are excruci-

ating—tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light

and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the Earth, 129 million mothers and their future babies must be immun-

ized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff

and more. It will take $110 million—and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member

of the Kiwanis family.

medical care providers, and raising money, clubs are able to participate by creating unique

service projects!

tarily, members give back by serving their community. The program itself focuses on the ed-

ucation of children ages five to nine on literacy and other general education. On this day,

the KIWIN'S District is encouraged to plan and undergo an unique service project that af-

fects their community in a positive way.

their respective policies. Clubs should also operate under such regulations. If your club

does not have bylaws, obtain a copy of the Standard Form on-line at keyclub.org.

District: Key Club International is divided into 33 districts (KIWIN’S is the 32nd!). Each Key

Club District is coextensive with one of the districts of Kiwanis International. The district pro-

motes cooperation and fellowship among clubs by encouraging participation in pro-

grams, activities, and the objects of the district and International; by strengthening existing

clubs and building new ones; and by accepting and promoting the objects of Key Club.

District Administrator: Each year the Kiwanis district governor appoints a Kiwanian to serve

as district administrator of KIWIN’S/Key Club. He/she is responsible for carrying out the Key

does much more to ensure a successful KIWIN’S year.

District Convention (DCON): Each club is entitled to send two delegates and two alternate

delegates, which should be elected officers for the new year. The convention usually lasts

for two days and serves as a training session for newly elected officers. The convention is

rewarding for everyone and can help provide the enthusiasm to make a better club next

year.

Division: Each district is divided into territories called divisions, often coextensive with the

boundaries of the Kiwanis division. There are a total of twelve divisions (only nine active di-

visions, however), each with a lieutenant governor who carries out the district’s policies

within his/her respective division, and provides support to the clubs.

Divisional Council Meeting (DCM): from three to ten Divisional Council Meetings. These
