DISTRICT CAMPAIGNS The district launched back-to-back campaigns on social media this year.

It comprised of our Governor's Appreciation and ServiceFullFebruary including our Instaframe Competition. Many clubs participated in the Key Club Week Social Media Takeover. It did extremely well! A special shout out to clubs like Camperdown, Belmont High, Ruseas High and St. Mary High that had a commendable week in November. We launched the Social Media Project Holiday Feature where all clubs were motivated to execute their Major Emphasis or Single Service during that time. A special acknowledgment goes out to Kingston College, Meadowbrook High School, Iona High School, Mannings School and St. Hugh's High School. It was a record breaking year. Thank You Key Clubs for going the extra mile!

ASK HUMBER Christopher Humber, the District Administrator, answers the questions you have all been dying to ask.

Why did you become the District Administrator?

Well, the position is appointed. I don't decide on such matters.

How do you manage to over see the runnings of an entire district and balance it with your work and your family?

Thank you There are so many student leaders that did not get to be featured, but your hard work and perseverance through this year do not go unnoticed. Brandon Soocka, Amala Evans, Demario Mew, Sherence Lawrence, Shantal Whyte, Jahnea Francis, Narjah James, JaDea Vassell, Adrian Sawyers, Chelsea Mitchell. Thank You! I've encountered not only club presidents, but secretaries, treasurers, regular club members that have impacted me and supported me during this year. I've had the opportunity to see many individuals grow into executive roles and others growing into admirable leaders. It is heart whelming. I have had the chance to break borders and the expectations of many people. Most importantly, I've gotten the privilege to bond with members over jokes and strange encounters. Thank You Key Club Jamaica. I wish everyone the best in his or her next adventure.

Vision Partners Nickelodeon The Big Help campaign puts kids into action to do something about issues communities face. Kiwanis clubs are encouraged to work with their SLPs on projects like Worldwide Day of Play when the network goes black and kids are encouraged to head outdoors and help their community.

Landscape Structures Inc. has been creating innovative playground equipment since 1971. As Kiwanis and Key Club’s main goal is to serve the children of the world, Key Clubs have partnered with Landscape Structures to construct playgrounds as a signature project.

The US Army partnership is based on a foundation of shared values. Engaging in local opportunities, US Army personnel connect with Kiwanis family members and provide access to local battalion support and resources. Key Clubs even invite soldiers to speak at club meetings and participate in service projects.

Squads Abroad is a program of Cross-Cultural Solutions (CCS), the world's leading expert in international volunteering. Since 1995, CCS has empowered more than 35,000 volunteers to improve child health and educational outcomes around the world.

Service Partner The Thirst Project has made a bold commitment to provide access to safe, clean drinking water to all people in the country by 2022. Key Club works with this Project to raise awareness of the global water crisis in local schools and communities by activating and leading campaigns and fundraising events.

Preferred Charities March of Dimes funds lifesaving research and programs and seeks to end premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. Kiwanis family members partner with this organization by raising thousands of dollars annually to give every baby a healthy start.

CMN Hospitals raises funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals that provide 32 million treatments to kids each year across the US and Canada. Kiwanis family members participate with children's miracle network by sponsoring fundraising events and conducting service projects at their local children's hospital.
