It’s July, which means that

it is not only deathly hot

outside, but that school is

just around the corner.

Take the remainder of this

month to fully prepare

yourself for the school year

– plan service projects,

prepare your first meeting,

and even take a nap! This

year, the Southwest will not

only be trying new things,

but also improving the old

projects and events!

Remember, as a district,

we are in this together – so

let’s make this year the

best one!

Your Friend in Service,

Riley Jandrew

Southwest District Governor

CONVENTION All service is special. Whether you’re donating toys around the holidays to those

less fortunate or even picking up garbage on the highway, it all makes a

difference, even if you see it or not, in your community and in your life.

You don’t have to be serving with your Key Club to make a difference, so this

summer, go out and serve on your own with these projects!

Volunteer at your local

food/clothing bank or

humane society.

As all of you know,

service never stops! If you

cannot get your club

together, doing simple

things like these are great

ways to help the

community.

Make ELIMINATE

boxes.

Making ELIMINATE

and placing them in

local businesses (with

permission) around

town is an easy way

to get the word on

MNT spread!

Sign up to read to

children at your local

library.

Children look up to us!

Show the children in

your community how

much we appreciate

them – and even tell

them about K-Kids!

Send out Thank You

cards to the members of

your Kiwanis Club.

Let your local Kiwanis

club know how thankful

you are of them. They

truly do so much for your

club, so give back to

them with a subtle

gesture.

Volunteer at a local

retirement or

nursing home.

The elderly love

company! Show

them we care by

simply hanging out

with them.

Start a school supply

drive for needy

children in your area.

School supplies are

important, but

children are even

more important.

Anything helps those

less fortunate!

Amendment 1 was passed: A district is now defined as at least 15 active

Key Clubs and at least 450 active Key Club members.

Amendment 2 was passed: Honorary Members will not pay any dues but

will not receive any privilege of a Key Club Member.

Amendment 3 was passed: Fifty cents of our dues will NOT be put into the

Youth Opportunities Fund as we have enough in our reserve to work off the

interest.

Amendment 4 had an amendment to the amendment: The International

dues were increased by 50 cents, thus now the international dues are $7.00.

Amendment 5 was not passed: the amendment went through an amendment

on amendment, which stated that "Members may only hold elected office at

district and international level of Key Club International for a maximum of four

years." This amendment on amendment was defeated. The amendment itself

was also defeated.

. Amendment 6 was passed: Membership is guaranteed for the duration of

one's secondary institution education system. (Ex. If a student attends a

school with 6 grades in High School, they will be eligible to be a Key Club

Member and be guaranteed all privileges of a Key Club member)

Club Spotlight We are so excited for

Sedona Red Rock – they

attended their first

convention ever this year,

and we can’t wait to see

them at DCON.

Welcome to our Key Club family, Sedona!
