Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a great way for your club’s members to come together this month! Order Trick-or-Treat boxes for your club today. More information about Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF can be found here. All proceeds go to The Eliminate Project.
Online Monthly Report Submission One feature of our new website is online submission for monthly reports. Club secretaries can now submit monthly reports online. This will make submission easier and more efficient. Below is the link that directs one to the page where the report can be accessed. It is important that secretaries select the correct division before completing the report because this determines which lieutenant governor receives the report. Once the report is submitted, it will be sent to your lieutenant governor and Hunter Burkhardt, the Secretary-Treasurer. The club secretary will also receive a copy. Club Monthly Reports are due on October 5, 2014.

The LaMissTenn District Board met in
Harahan, LA, for the September Board
Meeting. After not seeing each other since
ICON in July, everyone was excited to spend
the weekend together!
We attended Division 4’s Rally, “The Service
Games”, and had an amazing time with
enthusiastic Key Clubbers! The district board
was pied at the rally to raise money for The
Eliminate Project-yum!
Over the weekend, we planned for New
Officers’ Training, and we hope that Key
Clubbers will like the new changes we plan
to implement. Be on the lookout for a promo
video and an informational brochure! The
district board was so happy to add FIVE new
additions to the board-three LTGs, the District
Webmaster, and the District Assistant.
Northwood High School Key Club in
Shrieveport, LA, nominated the District Board
to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge. The video of the board
completing the challenge will be posted on
the district website. Thanks Northwood Key
Clubbers for the nomination! We hope you
enjoy the little spin we added to our
challenge!
The LaMissTenn District Board will have its
next meeting in November in Natchez, MS!

Greetings from the President!
Greetings, LaMissTenn Key Clubbers!
It is such an honor to serve you as your Key Club
International President this year! As your International President,
my main job is to lead the International Board, which consists
of me, our Vice President Kevin Zhang, and 11 Trustees.
Our main goal is to ensure that:
1. You and our 270,000 members have the best
experience possible.
2. Your club has the resources necessary to achieve
its full potential.
To do this, our International Board plans to present multiple webinars, twitter
chats, and video updates to connect with members. We also want to increase the
organizations that we work with to increase our name and influence.
Right now, we are focusing on Trick-Or-Treating for UNICEF as we fundraise to
eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus! This project is one of my passions. We have
the power and possibility to save millions of mothers and their babies from a disease
by paying $1.80. Less than a Starbucks coffee. Less than a pack of gum. Less than a
soda and chips. If we give up one of those items, we have saved LIVES. That idea
motivates me to spread the word constantly to ensure we reach our goal! If you want
to learn more about the project or how to fundraise, please email me!
Thank you for all that you do. Regardless of your position in Key Club (member,
club officer, or district officer), we couldn’t do what we do without your hard work
and passion for changing the world. Thank you for giving up time and energy to
make the world a better place. You motivate me every day.
