Key Club

While we Kiwanians are just starting our new administrative year, our Key Clubs are half way through their year. We have more than 11,000 students in more than 240 clubs in the New York District. They have already volunteered thousands of hours and donated tens of thousands of dollars to a variety of charities. These charities range from local causes to District charities like Kamp Kiwanis and the Eliminate Project.
Key Club Gov. Paul DeSantis and his board of Lt. Governors have already started planning for this years District Leadership Training Conference. The conference will be held on March 27-30, 2014 at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center in Albany. We will be expecting more than 800 Key Clubbers and advisors to attend this fantastic event. We have planned more than 30 fun and educational workshops for the students and adults.
Does your club sponsor a Key Club? if not why not? The Key Club is an investment in the future of Kiwanis and our world. These young people want to give back, want to be involved and Kiwanis and Key Club are the perfect partners to make this happen. Give me a call and I am ready to help you start a Key Club in your local high school.
Already sponsoring a Key Club? Please be sure to be actively involved in their meetings, projects and fundraisers. Invite the Key Club officers to your Kiwanis meeting and get to know the wonderful young people who are involved. Invite the Key Club to join you in a community service project - you will love the energy and excitement that Key Clubbers bring to everything they do !
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Key Club Administrator
