Key Club News Division 1E was well represented
at the Key Club District Convention held on March 26-28 in Louisville,
KY. Among the honors: Nathan Foster from Coffee County CHS won
the improptu essay contest. Kendra Tosh, also from the Coffee
County CHS Key Club won the K-T District Key Clubber of the Year
award. Dena Ashworth from the Blackman High Key Club was elected
Lt. Governor for Division 1. We can be proud of these and all
our Key Club members. Congratulations go out to each of our Key
Clubbers and to all the Key Clubs and their Kiwanis sponsoring
clubs in our division for a great Key Club year in Division 1.
We currently have 7 Key Clubs in our division and one more in
the works. Franklin County should have one at Franklin County
chartered by next year.
Skip-a-Meal The Kiwanis International Foundation
is again sponsoring Skip-A-Meal this month. The dates are April
25 to May 1. Each club is encouraged to participate as a club
or as individuals. All you have to do is to volunteer to skip
one meal during that week and donate the cost for that meal to
your club to send in to KIF. The monies will be used to award
scholarships and to help other children's programs during the
year. Let's have all clubs in Division 1E participate this year.
I know we can all skip a meal without hurting ourselves. And
the KIF can use the money. Sign up today.
89TH Annual Kiwanis International Convention It's
not too late to make your plans to attend the 89th Kiwanis International
Convention in St. Louis on June 26-29, 2004. St. Louis is close
enough to drive. So now is the time to start getting your car
pool together. And you don't want to miss Willie Nelson performing
on Sunday night. Next year the convention will be in Hawaii.
So be thinking about taking that dream vacation then.
