DESCRIPTION
The Official newsletter for Division 14 for the month of AugustTRANSCRIPT
In addition, we will be raising money
for the United Way for Jackson &
George Counties. The United Way
campaign theme is also Super Hero
and they are uniting in action with
Division 14 to raise money for 20
agencies that are helping families and
children in need. Let us Key Clubbers

and save the day by saving the
families and children of those in our
area. We will have shirts for sale,
donation lunch, raffles, and plenty
more activities to raise money for this
program. There is a special surprise
for the lucky winner who gets to be
duct taped to the wall, and you get to
choose your advisor, Kiwanis, or
myself to be ducted taped to the wall.
I know deep down you do not want
this little girl to be taped down!
Fly your way into action and sign up
with your advisor for your power

KEY CLUB Division 14 newsletter
This year was my first year attending ICON
and it was one of the best experiences I
ever had! Not only did I get to meet
people from all over the world, but these
people became real close friends and Key
Club just brought us even closer. I also
learned how the International Structure
worked and was given the opportunity to
vote for our International Board at the
House of Delegates. Having the chance to
attend ICON was a blessing and I really
hope that I will be able to bring as many
key clubbers from Division 14 to the
International Convention in Phoenix, AZ. I
encourage everyone to attend ICON
because it will be a Key Club experience
no one will ever forget!

moments that I will never forget and the people are unforgettable.

Check out these awesome projects! What is our Governor’s
Project for 2010-2011 year?
Option 1: Fundraising for Diabetes
Why fundraise for Diabetes?
I would like our district to raise money for the
American Association of Diabetes. Two people that I
am close to have this disease which makes this even
more of a reason for us to want to help this cause. I
would like for us to be able to present the American
Association of Diabetes with a large check at our
district Convention.
What is a good fundraising idea for Diabetes?
Your school can host a sugar free bake sale and sell
baked goods that are sugar free but still tasty. (More
coming soon in the Governor’s Project booklet)
Option 2: Support Healthy Lifestyles
Why should I support healthy lifestyles?
I would like for us as a district to show people how
important living a healthy lifestyle truly is to
prevent long term and short term diseases. I also
believe that it is important for us to each out and
teach younger students about living a healthy life. I
will post a calendar on our district website with
health risks that you can “aware” people about and how to live a healthy lifestyle.
What are some project ideas?
Host a Field Day: this will help get students active!
Host an Awareness Walk: this will help increase awareness for a disease!

United Way is our super service
project for this year’s fall rally.
United Way works to identify
areas of unmet needs in our
community and brings people
together in order to provide
help to those in needs. 90.9% of
money raised goes towards
funding to health and human
service agencies and the other
9.1% goes towards fundraising
and nonprofit assistance. They
help fund for families and
children in need of medical care
and education.
Volunteer for these programs!

Kiwanis fulfills those dreams. [Erica

PPCCMMss At our last PCM we discussed
on voting for a theme to
represent at DCON. The two
to choose from are Pokemon
or Beach theme. We held a
shoebox contest and Moss
Point High won for the most
unique shoebox. We also
talked about possibly having
our next DCON in Biloxi. Lastly,
we decided that each school
will decide on the location for
our PCM each month.
Next PCM is on August 7, 2010
10:30 AM @ Beef’O Bradys in Gulfport, MS and we are having a spirit chant contest!

Back to School Tips • Make sure to have all of your school
supplies, which include pencil(s), pens, paper, and your textbooks!
• Arrive to class at least 5 minutes early; so you will never be late for class.
• Have plenty of sleep the night before at least 8 hours or else you’ll end up sleeping in class. Trust me!
• Eat a good breakfast before going to school or else you’ll be more
concentrated on food than your school work. If you’re sneaky, eat a few snacks during class or during break.
• School is a place for education, not socialization. So pay attention to your
studies and not your buddies.
