Key Leader

$50. If you could help train tomorrow's leaders today for $50, would you do it?

As we enter our 11th year of Key Leader, we must hit International's goal of 60 student participants or face losing this valuable program. I understand that some clubs and divisions may have concerns with getting students to Camp Stella Maris to attend, but does it matter what students attend? To this end, I am asking that each club in the district, if they are unable to send a student, send a donation of $50 to District Secretary Justin Underwood, designated for Key Leader, and Ann Holevinski and I will ensure the session is full.

With more than 260 clubs in the district, we can fill the camp with the $50 donation.

My home club, Lewiston, has already committed to sending four students. The Spring Valley club has sent in a $50 donation, so we are well under way. But the time is now to begin getting the funds and recruiting the students to go.

The event runs May 1-3. Each year we are scrambling near or at the deadline to reach our goal and we come up short. This year, I'd like to see the enrollment begin early and reach the goal of 60 long before the registration closes at the end of April.

I will have additional information posted on the district website and if you have any questions for me, please email me at dean.keyleader@roadrunner.com.
