Hello Division 4!
Now that school and everyone is back into the
school life schedule, it’s the perfect time to
get Key Club activities and recruitment up
and running at your school! I hope the every-
one is as excited as I am for this year, as I know
it will be a great one filled with many fantastic
things
Yours in service,

Remember:
Due date for the Youth
Opportunities Fund is
October 15th!
We have much planned for this year, and challenges are bound to come
along the way. My only advice is be prepared to face difficulties, but know
that you have the full support system of fellow Key Clubbers to help you out.
Be open and helpful to new members, and be supportive and encouraging to
current members.
I hope to visit each of the clubs soon and look forward to meeting the new
and old faces of Division 4- Thundering Waters. See you all soon!

Kiwanis Spotlight:
Trick or Treat for UNICEF
4
Trick of Treat for UNICEF is held on Halloween each year, and I encourage all
clubs to participate this year.
UNICEF shares the Kiwanis family’s global commitment to children and since
1994, Key Club has raised nearly US$5 million for iodine deficiency programs
worldwide and HIV and AIDS programs through the help of UNICEF. Now we
are helping The Eliminate Project.
The goal is to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus through The Eliminate
Project by raising US$110 million by 2015.

Once you’ve collected all of your donations, send a check to the Kiwanis
Foundation of Canada. CLEARLY indicate that it is for Key Club Trick or Treat,
and make sure you indicate your club name on the cheque too.
Write your club name or club number on the memo line of the check so your
club is recognized for its efforts to help eliminate MNT.
It’s important to send your check directly to the Kiwanis Foundation of Cana-
da. KFC matches what clubs raise - $1 for every $3 received. Kiwanis Service
Leadership Programs plan to raise US$7 million of the total US$110 million Kiwa-
nis will raise by 2015 for The Eliminate Project.
