Divisional ProjectTeen jean drive
This year’s divisional project will be a teen jean drive! Essentially
each club will participate in collecting jeans that will be donated to homeless and less fortunate teenagers. There are so many teens who will go without a new pair of jeans because they simply do not have the funds. I know that I would be absolutely distraught if I could not simply purchase some new pants to wear during the cold. In this drive, we can collect any clothing items made out of denim
(e.g. jean pants, denim jackets, denim shorts, etc). All items collected
will have to be collected in separate bins, then bagged according to the
gender supposed to wear them.
I will ensure that all jeans are picked up and delivered to where
they are supposed to go. It will be somewhat of a group effort, but
every club should participate in this project. It’s easy and I cannot wait
to do it with all of you.
Before you begin the project, make sure you contact me. I am
handling some details about where the jeans are going to be taken.
Also, please give me some dates you think you would like to begin and
end the project on. I’m thinking most clubs will want to do this after the
winter break.
Thanks guys!

The New District Secretary
Hey, T-O!
My name is Lily Nguyen, and I’m so honored to be serving you as your District Secretary for the remainder of the 2015-2016 Key Club year. My favorite things include cats, cartoons, and Mario Kart. But most importantly, I love the sense of community that Key Club brings to high school campuses. My goal is to apply that same sentiment to the District level, too.
As District Secretary, I will be the one to grade and send feedback concerning all of your monthly reports. I will also have a new Task-of-the-Month posted on my blog every month as an opportunity for your club to get extra points, so check that out! If you have any questions or concerns regarding reporting, I am always available at (713) 456-0315 or [email protected]. Remember, I am YOUR District Secretary and I want to help YOU as much as I can. I would be more than happy to review your reports via email before actually grading them, so please utilize me as much as you can. Also, make sure to text “@tosecr” to 810-10 to receive reminders of upcoming deadlines and the like.
I’m super excited to see what cool service projects you all come up with in your monthly reports! I look forward to be working with all of you, and I know we can make this Key Club year the best one yet. Yours in Service,
Lily Nguyen

DCON On October 3rd, at Fall Rally, the 2016 DCON theme was released - Service: Mission Accepted! The idea of this theme was based on Mission Impossible. The theme will invoke a sense of adventure and espionage, as service will become thrilling for all attendees.
For those who have yet to attend DCON, it is a multi-day retreat (this year, beginning on April 21, 2016) at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Dallas, Texas. It is a time for Texas-Oklahoma Key Clubbers to unite, celebrate a year of service, learn new ways to benefit the community, and make memories that last. Interesting aspects of the event include forums, district staff elections, the welcoming activity, service fair, contests and awards, and so much more. This year, we intend to incorporate the theme into all aspects of the convention. From becoming a secret agent at welcoming activity to secret missions throughout the weekend, we’ll be able to complete the mission of tackling service together. One way to get started now? Tag #todcon2016 with pictures from past conventions you have attended. Or if you went to Fall Rally, share pictures of you wearing the prizes you received!
Start preparing today, and be ready to attend the unforgettable DCON 2016, a place where we can tackle the mission of service together!
Reporting
Clubs should know how to report by now. Every club needs to be reporting regardless if there were any meetings, any activities, or anything at all (although I hope this is never the case).
The district does count points by reports; however, that should not be the only reason you send in reports. It should not be the main reason you send in reports at all. The district wants to have a record of every club and needs to account for every meeting and activity each club participates in. Rather than seeing the reports as something that is mainly used for points, see it as the medium by which the district uses to account for each club. So if you did nothing, the district wants to know.
In other words, it is important.
Each club is required to send out a monthly report to the district secretary. The reports consist of how many meetings your club had, who attended, and all of the events your club held. The minutes from every meeting are also turned in with the report.
The reports are to be postmarked by the fifth of the following month and sent to the district secretary. For instance, the report for August needs to be postmarked AT LEAST by September 5th.
