Service project Initiative "Spotlight on Service Program

The Spotlight on Service Program was created by the Service Projects Committee to educate California-Nevada-Hawai`i Key Clubbers about the Key Club International as well as Cali-Nev-Ha Service Initiatives and encourage active participation with/for the organizations and initiatives. A service Initiative was assigned to each month in which clubs should focus a project or two on supporting the initiative.

September's Initative -- Nickelodeon's Big Help & World Wide Day of Play The month of September will be focused on Nickelodeon and their Big Help and World Wide Day of Play programs. The Big Help is a community outreach program that promotes community service and volunteering. This program supports the contributions that children can make to their communities. From helping out at a food bank, to cleaning up the litter in their communities, kids that have joined The Big Help service initiative are making a golden impact on their communities and the world.

Are you wondering about how to help out? There are plenty of ways that you can join the movement! Their Main project is the Worldwide Day of Play – a day dedicated to getting out and getting active. World Wide Day of Play will be taking place onSeptember 21, 2013 in New York City. Being that many children are unable to travel to that site, you can plan your own Worldwide Day of Play event in your community! Another way you can get involved is by hosting a canned food drive and donating what you’ve received to a local soup kitchen! Other ways to help out include volunteering at a local animal shelter or planting a garden. The possibilities are endless – you have the power to choose how you make an impact on your communities.

For more information and project ideas, visit their website at www.nick.com/thebighelp/explanation or http://www.nick.com/thebighelp/road-to-wwdop/. You can also call them at 212-846-4333 or email them at public...@nick.com!

Project Submission Process Clubs must submit their project through an electronic form. Here is the link for the Project Submission Form. This form is very easy to complete and is due by the 5th of each month for the previous month. (The deadline for September project submission is October 5th.) If you are planning on submitting pictures, please send them to cnhk...@gmail.com. Please remember that we like action pictures of members doing service and not posing." *NOTE EMAILS ARE ON THE DIVISION REFLECTOR!

August DCM- Providence On a very HOT August 24th, at 1:00 p.m. Division 16 Key Clubbers arrived at Las Palmas Park for our monthly Division Council Meeting. We started off with fun ice breakers such as the gigaloo. After the fun ice breakers we got snacks that were provided then got right into business with a special guest who has worked with many Key Clubs. We also talked about Fall Rally 2013 and the upcoming fundraisers to help the community. After we went over new and old cheers lead by our Spirit Chairs.

D16 Ice Skating Fundraiser- Burbank

Ice Skating Fundraiser- Valencia

On August 31st, Key Club Members of Region 7 were invited to attend one of two ice skating fundrais-ers. One in Pickwick Ice Station in Burbank.

All funds raised by the ice events were do-nated to PTP. Overall, both events were a great success and babies in need are going to receive a good amount of money, $120 at Valencia’s fundraiser and $161.50 at Burbank’s fundraiser to be exact. What better way to serve by having fun ice skating and knowing that your money is going to help the mothers and ba-bies get PTP medicine. At rates like this, Key Club is able to eliminate PTP in countries that deserve freedom form this curable disease.

Thanks to all the member that attended.

On August 31, at Burbank Pickwick Ice Rink, Key Clubbers had a quality time skating with each other. The ticket was purchase at $12 and was able to enjoy for 2 hours. We helped each other learn how to skate and had refreshments at the snack

stand. It was a good opportunity to spend time in the ice rink away from the heat.

CLUB NEWS ARLETA’s First Meeting: Vanessa Esmeralda Barajas

The school year has begun and it is time to get the 2013 - 2014

Key Clubs up and running! Schools around the world and division are

working hard to get as many people as they can get involved in Key

Club. We, being the Arleta High School Key Club have just had our

first meeting August 27, 2013 and had an amazing turn out. We

advertised throughout the school with some flyers we made,

announced it in the announcements, and had some of our friends

spread the word around. If any of you fellow Key Clubbers

participate in any extracurricular activities it would be a good idea

to get people in the activities involved as well. We hope look

forward to having a great year. Good luck with your Key Clubs.

HELPING OUT MRS. EDGE: Dohee Lee

On August 21, Mrs. Edge, Burbank HS Accounting

teacher, asked for some help. Members went helping in

putting tennis balls for the chairs. Also, we cleaned the

monitors and decorated the room for her. She was really

glad to call us to do this job.

On Tuesday, September 3rd Alemany’s Key Club officers held a

planning meeting for one of our biggest and most anticipated

events. This event is called Alemany Amigos where we bring kids who

live in gang affiliated areas to the Alemany campus by bus for a day

of fun without worry. The meeting was well attended with everyone

taking a part in it and sharing ideas that would make the event a

greater experience than it has been in past years. Every year,

Alemany receives letters from kid’s parents etc. praising Alemany

Amigos and every year we look for ways to improve. During the

event, we have sports that kids can play making it mandatory for the

kids to be active for at least the first hour. We also supply the children

with arts and crafts and music for those who like to dance. Towards

the end of the event, we have a game where the kids try to throw a

water balloon as far as they can and the one who throws it the

farthest wins a prize while the rest of the children receive candy not

going home empty handed. We provide the children with a nutritious

lunch, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We also make a couple

sandwiches with only jelly on it for those kids that may be allergic to

peanut butter. Kids as well as Alemany students look forward to

Alemany Amigos all year round and are given about two

opportunities first semester and about three opportunities second

semester to come back and experience Alemany Amigos again.

What We Do Key Club International is the high school organization sponsored by Kiwanis International. Key Club

assists Kiwanis in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world. High school student members of

Key Club perform acts of service in their communities, such as cleaning up parks, collecting clothing and

organizing food drives. They also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding

elected leadership positions at the club, district and international levels.

Key Club International brings together all Key Club's members' efforts and energies into an area that makes

an international impact through the Major Emphasis, "Children: Their Future, Our Focus.” The Major Emphasis

unites Key Clubs under the banner of service that deals with the most important part of our community, our

youth.

The Key Club service initiative is the hands-on element of the Major Emphasis. All of the hands-on

service provided to children by Key Club International members is directed to a single area of need, to make

a substantial impact. The current service initiative, The Eliminate Project, allows Key Clubbers joining forces

with Kiwanis International and UNICEF eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.

Each year, Key Club International teams up with its three partner organizations, March of Dimes, Children’s

Miracle Network and UNICEF, for the fundraising element of the Major Emphasis. As you plan your club’s

service programming for the year, keep these organizations in mind. Each Key Club is encouraged to

participate with our partners as we join together to make a difference in the lives of children.

How Key Club Works Key Club International is a self-governing, student-led organization. Each year, Key Club members

elect their student officers at club, district and international levels during club meetings and district and

international conventions. Key Club members receive guidance and support from adult volunteers, including Kiwanis advisors, faculty

advisors and district administrators. Additionally, the Key Club International staff trains and assists the district

governors and international board members.

The organization is funded by nominal dues paid by every member.

Structure Individual Key Clubs belong to divisions, which belong to districts, which comprise Key Club International.

Districts

There are 33 organized districts. Each district, normally defined by state or nation, tends to match a similar

Kiwanis district and is led by a governor, who is elected by delegates at the annual district convention.

Divisions

Districts are divided into divisions and each division has a lieutenant governor, a student leader who carries

out the district’s policies and provides support to the clubs.

Clubs

Key Clubs are established in a high school or equivalent institution. A community-based club also may be

chartered. Elected officers can include president, one or more vice presidents, secretary, treasurer, editor

and one director from each class.

Governance Bylaws

The international, district and club levels operate under a set of bylaws that spell out their respective policies.

You can find the International Bylaws in the Key Club Guidebook, the official guide for Key Club, which is

updated and posted online every May.

More information can be found on keyclub.org
