 Dear Advisors, The purpose of this monthly email is to alert Faculty and Kiwanis Advisors of timely information that will help you carry out your Advisor responsibilities. It also is intended to educate Kiwanis Club leaders about their club’s responsibilities to their Key Club(s). In this issue: District Convention registration deadline ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN THIS MONTH . . .District Convention – 72nd Annual Florida District of Key Club Convention – April 15-18, 2010 Registration deadline for the $200 quad rate is February 20th, after that, cost increases $50 for all registrations. The link for all the information you need is http://www.FloridaKeyClub.com/DCON. Please ensure that every Key Club is represented by at least one member; the cost for one is only $100 plus any transportation to Orlando. You cannot beat that price!!! Complete and Send Awards This Month Every club should look over the awards that can be won at DCON. The deadline for many is March 1. Go to the above link for DCON to find the awards information. Do NOT assume your club will not win awards…you might be surprised. Besides, winning is not the only reason to submit applications. Also look at the DCON events that can be entered, such as the talent and oratory competition. This year we will feature more Key Club talent during the talent night event. Convention Program Advertisement Remember to sell at least $100 in convention advertisement to qualify your club’s seniors for college scholarships. Even if you do not attend convention (which I hope is not the case!), you can still sell ads and qualify. Of course, selling more than $100 will produce more money for scholarships. Deadline is February 20th to submit ads, if you need an extension, let me know. Candidates for District Office (Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, Webmaster, Editor) At present, we have 4 candidates for Governor, 2 for Secretary, and 1 for Treasurer. Webmaster and Editor are appointed from applications submitted at DCON. Serving on the District board provides a quantum leap in leadership experience through Key Club. Please encourage any of your members who you feel are leaders to consider applying for any of these positions. Applications can be submitted up to the opening session of DCON (April 15th), but I would recommend doing it much earlier. Information can be found at the DCON link above. Club Officers Must be Elected by February 28th Your club Bylaws require that your club nominate and elect officers for 2010-2011 by Feb. 28th. There are very good reasons for this early election including time to receive training before they take office after DCON or by May 1 and ability to begin planning for next year during the summer. Please make sure this happens and that the new officers attend DCON for that extra boost of enthusiasm and leadership skills development. Also, be sure to call on your Key Club Lt. Governor to conduct the installation of officers. That is one of their responsibilities and they look forward to doing it. Remember to invite your sponsoring Kiwanis club members. Officer Information Sheet Cutoff Date On March 1, the online OIS form for this year will be locked and a new form for next year will be available for completion. Be sure that your club secretary completes this form as soon after March 1 as possible with the information on the newly elected officers. Do not forget to include all requested information for both the Faculty and Kiwanis Advisors. This form is our primary source of contact information for your club, DO NOT NEGLECT IT.
