guide to help you catch up on the Key Club lingo:

Contests and Awards
The contest and awards resources have been updated for this
year. They are located on the Key Club International website at
http://www.keyclub.org/fad/ca.aspx.
Distinguished officer binder tabs
This year, binder tabs will not be printed out for those interested in
applying for the distinguished officer awards. Key Club
International has updated the content and posted the contents
of the tabs, as well as instructions on how to format your binder by
printing out the materials available.
2012 Key Club oratorical topic
The 2012 oratorical contest topic is "How can the average Key
Clubber bring a global campaign, such as The Eliminate Project,
to their school and local community?"
For the last two years, three oratory finalists and two first place
winners have come from Division 12. I hope that we will be able to
carry on this tradition at the 2012 T-O District Convention.
I would also like all of you to begin compiling resources that can
be passed on to your successor. This is part of the “Legacy
Program” that Governor Megan Iselin has asked the District Board
to carry out.

Fund raising for The Eliminate Project?
Mail your checks to the Kiwanis International
Foundation: 3636 Woodview Trace,
Indianapolis, IN 46268 USA. On your check,
remember to identify your club and
designate the funds for The Eliminate Project
on the memo line. This will help us track your
club's success.
Share your story!
Let us know what you and your club are
doing to build awareness and raise funds for
The Eliminate Project. You can e-mail your
story to [email protected]
-- and who knows, you might be featured in
an upcoming newsletter! You can also share
your story by visiting the website
www.TheEliminateProject.org.

year may order boxes from KI by calling 1-

For Key Clubs that are interested in co-sponsoring
Builders Club ( the middle school level of Kiwanis):
October is the month of the young adolescent
(http://www.nmsa.org/moya/), an annual
international collaborative effort of education,
health and youth-oriented organizations like
Kiwanis.
During October the National Middle School
Association brings together a wide range of
organizations to focus on the needs of this
important age range, ages 10 to 15. October
would be a great time to charter a Builders Club,
the Kiwanis Service Leadership Program for middle
school and junior high students. Learn what makes
this group tick and help young adolescents
become caring and compassionate citizens
through Builders Club. Starting a club is easy: go to
www.kiwanis.org/charter and contact both myself
and your Kiwanis Club.
