PURPOSE

THE SERVICE PURPOSE

3) ICON: San Antonio International Convention is the biggest event of the Key Club year! Where over 1,600 Key Clubbers from all across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean travel to share innovative service projects and fundraising ideas, listen to amazing speeches from international famous individuals, and train for your upcoming officer position.

This past summer, I had to opportunity to attend the 2017 International Convention held here in our very own district, in San Antonio. It was such an amazing opportunity to meet Club, District, and International officers from all around the world, discovering Key Club's preferred charities and service organization, and a lot more! I will definitely be going to next year's ICON in Chicago, Illinois without a doubt!

With that being said, I will be giving a presentation at two meetings this month about my experience from this year's ICON and information for next year's ICON. For those interested in learning more about Key Club International Convention, here are two meetings you can attend: Be sure to also fellow Key Club members who are also interested in possibly attending ICON next year!

9) Divisional Project: K – Family Konnections

THE SERVICE

27

Our Divisional Project, K –Family: Konnections, will focus on working together with 4 of the main Kiwanis Family Organizations other than Key Club. Specific club officers will be assigned to specific Connections, and our Lieutenant Governor, Clarence Manglal-lan, will work on all.

• Kiwanis Club: The Kiwanis Clubs in our area are our main source of support and sponsorship. Kiwanis International is basically the adult version of Key Club.

• Circle K: Our area is included in Kiwanis Division 1; however, in Key Club our Division is split into 2 sections, 1 North and 1 South. Currently there is no Circle K Club in Division 1. Our goal this year is to establish at least 1-2. We can accomplish this by getting in contact with current college/university students, and/or former Key Club Alumni to help begin the charter process.

• Builder’s Club and K-Kids: The Kiwanis Family starts way before high school, with K-Kids focusing on Elementary schools, and Builder’s Club focusing on middle/junior high schools. Our Division currently has little to none. By chartering either, it will help boost our membership in the long run future of our division.
