Key Club New Member Info

KEY CLUB NEW MEMBER INFO “Caring is our way of life, but fun is how we do it at K-Park” If you are reading this, let me be the first to thank you for your interest in Key Club. Our club at Kingwood Park had many accomplishments last year in our first year, and we’re looking to make 2009/2010 even better! And we need your help to accomplish this  This will be a brief synopsis of what our club stands for, who should join our club, and will enable you to join on the first meeting date. I hope after you read this, you will be more inspired to be a part of Kingwood Park’s most fun, friendly, and student based service program, Key Club  1. The Basics- Our Key Club started its first year last year as an official “Kingwood Park Only” Key Club. In our charter year (first year) we accomplished many projects, such as raising money for UNICEF, collecting used glasses for African citizens who could not afford them, participated in Kleenwood, Kingwood’s day for cleaning up our town, attended a 2 day leadership camp, Weekend of a Lifetime (WOAL), organized a number of funder raisers, including a beach volleyball tournament, the Spring Sand Smackdown, and rounded off our year by traveling to Dallas to the TexOKey District Convention to voice our opinion in state key club affairs. We received an award for being the 24th ranked club out of all the Texas and Oklahoma Key Clubs, our first year! So needless to say, returning members are excited to get a higher ranking this year  2. Our Goals- This year, our club’s goal is to have more service projects and have even more fun that last year. We will accomplish this by planning more service events and starting our first project, Soles for Souls, early this semesterso we have more time to plan our district project “Key Club Colors Our World”. A great thing about Key Club is that all the things we accomplish is by the work of our members, not the adult sponsors, although our sponsors Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Perry guide us, we do the work, creating, and planning, which is unique to our club. 3. Requirements for Joining- Our club is quite simple to join. We do not require any service hours to initially get in. All you have to do is bring your $25 dues to the first

meeting, September 1st at 5 oclock in the LGI building and start attending meetings. Each month, we will

have a simple point sheet that you must complete in order to remain as an active member. But don’t fear! It won’t be too much, we understand you’re probably involved in other things,

and we don’t want to lose you by completely overloading you with things to do  4. Members we want-in our club, we feel it important that we do not just have members that pay dues then never show up to meetings and events. We want members who can contribute ideas for cool service projects, fundraisers, and how to better our club. We also love members who attend meeting regularly, and can be depended on. In order to raise our club’s rank and activeness higher, we need active members. We also need people with enthusiasm that won’t be negative to bring the positive vibe of our club down; we like to have fun doing service, instead of dreading it. 5. Impress Us? – If you really would like to help our club get rolling, and you want to become a member, fill out the form below with your contact info, and bring your $25 dues (if you haven’t already) to the first meeting. This will save you and us time so you don’t have to fill it out when you get there. 6. Want even MORE info?

Dues/T-Shirt If you’d like to join immediately, which is awesome, and what I recommend in order to get involved right away, just bring your

$25 in an envelope with your first and last name on it to the first meeting.

Also, soon after the first meeting we will be getting club T-shirts. It is not mandatory to purchase one, but it is easier for our group to gain recognition in the school/ when we do service projects if we look uniform when we’re a club. The T-shirt will look good; I promise  However, as of right now, I don’t have a price on the T-shirt. I will by our first meeting though, and we will have order forms then. If you want to get a jump on things, bring around $20 extra to

order your shirt.

Thanks again for considering/joining our club, we can’t wait to see what this year holds  See you September 1st! -Angela Morisette (President)
