 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: ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN THIS MONTH . . .67th Annual Key Club International Convention – July 7-11 (Florida District Tour July 5-13) Registration for the district tour to Memphis, Tennessee, the site of ICON 2010, is now closed. We have about 60 students and chaperones attending. 2010-2011 OIS Form Should Have Been Completed – If Not, Advisor Needs to Do It Advisors, we need your help! Although a majority of clubs have filled out their online Officer Information Sheets (OIS), not all have. If I cannot entice you to be sure that this VERY important task gets completed by appealing to you with the fact that this is our only source of information on you and your clubs’ leaders and that your members will not get all that your dues pay for if we cannot provide services to you, maybe this might work. At the end of next school year, your Lt. Governor will apply for an award call the Robert F. Lucas Outstanding Lt. Governor Award. Every LTG who earns the minimum points receives this award at next year’s International Convention. It is quite an honor for the student and for the Florida District. Maximum points are earned in one particular category by whether that LTG’s clubs complete this form by June 15. Please help this hard working LTG by making sure your club carries out its responsibilities. Attached is a list of clubs that have not completed the form. If your club is on it, please have it completed by June 15. It does not take long. If you have not elected new officers (like your bylaws required), still go into the form for the new year and complete what you do know (like the Faculty and Kiwanis Advisor information). That would be better than leaving the 2010-2011 form blank until next year. PLEASE!!!! The link to the form is: http://opr.floridakeyclub.com/opr/opr_login.asp New Advisors for the New Year If your position as Faculty Advisor or Kiwanis Advisor is changing for the new school year or Kiwanis administrator year, please be sure to update me and the OIS form as soon as your replacement is known. Attend Kiwanis Meetings During Summer It can be difficult for Key Club members to attend their sponsoring Kiwanis Club’s meetings during the school year. The summer recess may provide a better opportunity. Different members may rotate this among them so that as many as possible get a chance. Please encourage your members to contact their Kiwanis Club (Kiwanis Advisor or Kiwanis Club president) and make arrangements to attend meetings. Faculty Advisors who are not Kiwanians, don’t forget to attend yourself. You are always welcome at Kiwanis meetings! May and Summer Pride Reports Remember that the new Key Club year began with the April Pride Report due DO LATER than May 10th. The May Pride Report is due NO LATER than June 10th. For the Summer, one combined report is due NO LATER than September 10th for the months of June, July, and August. Like the OIS form, the link to the Pride Reports is http://opr.floridakeyclub.com/opr/opr_login.asp. The completion of Pride Reports is the responsibility of the Key Club Secretary or his/her designate. News to Note Thank You, Advisors As the school year draws to a close (or has already closed for many of you), the Florida Key Club Committee and all of the Kiwanis Clubs in Florida thank you for your time and effort this past year as Advisors to our Key Clubs. We know that the effectiveness of Key Club as a Service and Leadership development organization is very much dependent on dedicated Advisors. We also know that to be an Advisor requires you to go above and beyond your normally compensated responsibilities and that your rewards are certainly not financial. I have personally met dozens of former Key Club members in various walks of life (including myself). I can assure you that like a teacher’s future impact on a young person is most often unknown, but is understood to be enormous, so is the impact of Key Club on the lives of its members and on the communities they serve later in life. Thank you for playing a significant role in improving our world one child and one community at a time! Have a blessed and restful summer.
