 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). ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN THIS MONTH . . .Dues, Dues, Dues By now, any club who has not sent their dues in to Key Club Int’l should be very close to completing the process. The deadline is November 30th to not be in delinquent status and to qualify for various awards at District convention. It is a responsibility of the Kiwanis Advisor to follow up on this task to be sure it gets done. Any questions about the process should be directed to the Key Club Lt. Governor, Key Club District Treasurer, Zone Assistant Administrator, or me. Membership cards and other materials follow dues invoicing Once a club has submitted their membership list and printed their invoice on the Member Update Center site on the Key Club International website, materials are sent to the club at the school address in care of the Faculty Advisor. These materials arrive fairly quickly. They include a membership card and member pin for new members only and other materials in a box. Please be sure these materials are distributed to the members, preferably during a nicely planned induction meeting. Updating of Officer Information Sheets (OIS) Most clubs have provided information their OIS forms online as requested. However, many clubs have incomplete and incorrect information. For example, most clubs have not filled in the information for their Kiwanis Advisors or provided email addresses for some or all of persons listed or have typed in incorrect/incomplete email addresses. Please have the Key Club secretary go online and print what is listed on your club’s OIS form and check to see that all information is there and is correct. This is where we get information for communicating with the club officers and Advisors. New Key Club District Website The new website is up and running and it is awesome, according to the Key Club members who have visited it: http://floridakeyclub.com.

UNICEF Funds Submission: Deadline, Where to Send, Check Made To Club who have raised money for UNICEF through Treat or Treat for UNICEF or other means will need to put a check in the mail for these funds on or before December 31, 2009 in order to get qualify for the various District and International recognitions.

Featured Kiwanis Responsibility to Your Key Club . . . #2 Ensure Kiwanis members attend every sponsored club meeting. The Kiwanis advisor is responsible for:
Remember that Kiwanians need to experience Key Club directly in order to more fully appreciate this important project of Kiwanis. Visiting Key Club meetings is one way of accomplishing this. In addition, Key Club members will understand that Kiwanis cares about them when they see other Kiwanians take the time to attend their meetings. Have a great month.
