Committee Updates Fundraising Committee Committee Chair: Sophia Galey Members: Storm Boyett, Jannie Nguyen, Alex Dale, Kaylee Drucker, and Avae Finch The Fundraising Committee has been working very hard the past few months to completely revamp the LaMissTenn Fundraising Booklet. Before, the book was organized by season. The committee decided to reorganize the book by level of difficulty. Projects were added and removed. A price estimate is also included for each project. Our committee also clarified project instructions and materials. Our hope is that the book allows Key Clubbers to have a more user friendly experience when planning fundraisers.
K-Family/Governor’s Project Committee Committee Chair: Jannie Nguyen Members: Rachel Pizzoloto, Sophia Galey , Max Hailey, and Conrad Nguyen At the beginning of the service year, the Governor’s Project, which is to fundraise enough money to build two freshwater wells in the scarce country of Jamaica, was joined with the K-Family Committee. In this, the K-Family/Governor’s Project was born. Its goals included creating a step-by-step guide to help Lieutenant Governors charter clubs, design various promotional flyers, cooperate with International Trustee Conrad Gabriel to initiate a strategic plan with the Jamaica District, and to educate the average Key Clubbers on all branches of the K-Family. At the end of each monthly phone call, specific tasks are assigned for committee members to complete prior to the next scheduled virtual meeting. Thank you K-Family/Governor’s Project Committee for the wonderful resources made and for widening the average members’ views of Key Club International.
Membership Committee Chair: Madison Tarifa Members: Storm Boyett, Marcus Davis, and Alex Dale The Membership Committee has been working on more of their Membership Packet. Specifically, this packet will include what Key Club is along with the benefits of being a member, the international and family aspects of Key Club International, personal experiences from Key Club members, and the benefits of a school having a Key Club. As a whole district, we plan for this packet to help increase membership in our division as the packet will be sent out to prospective Key Club schools and schools with lacking members. Also, our committee plans to have a list of frequently asked questions and terms so that all members, especially those that have just joined Key Club, understand and get to learn all that this great organization entails.

Club Recognition Division 4a- Mount Carmel Academy The Club of the Month for Division 4a is Mount Carmel Academy. During these past two months, Mount Carmel Key Clubbers worked to brighten the holiday season for their schools and communities. During the Thanksgiving holiday, they packaged food for their Kiwanis, Dawnbsuters’ Turkey Fry and handed out waters to runners as they raced to the finish line at the Turkey Day Race. Also, for the Christmas season, the Mount Carmel Academy Key Club hung up wrapping paper onto every locker in the school in order to brighten everyone’s mood and encourage the positive Christmas spirit during a stressful exam season.
Division 7b- Vandebilt Catholic High School Division 7B’s Club Spotlight goes to Vandebilt Catholic High School. Vandebilt not only does weekly projects like Bingo, but they also hosted a Santa Breakfast at their school. They worked with Kiwanis and other Key Clubbers to make this project a huge success. Vandebilt members also came to the Division 7B Spring Rally and Division Council Meeting. Keep up the great work!
Division 14a- D'Iberville High School For the month of January of 2020, I would like to recognize the Key Club at D’Iberville High School for preparing and hosting the Division 3, 14a, and 14b Spring Rally! Members stayed after school on Friday evening to set up tables, decorate entrances, blow up hundreds of balloons, and bond as a club. The next morning (01/18), the rally was a hit; thanks to “D'Iberville High School Spring Rally Committees” which consisted of Decorations, Register, Directions and Food, and Clean-Up. These committees were helpful as they decorated the rally the beforehand, welcomed guests, managed on-the-spot registration, sold raffles to fundraise for the Governor’s Project (building freshwater wells in Jamaica), set out pizza, drinks, and snacks during lunch, and stayed after the rally to clean up at school on a Saturday afternoon! I would also like to show gratitude to Stone County and Oak Grove High School for your partnership and participation at the rally, Mr. Travis Moore for being the wonderful keynote speaker, and lastly, Dr. Patricia Goyette (D’Iberville Key Club Adviser) and Ms. Dixie Griffin (D’Iberville Teacher) for being the trusty adults chaperoning this entire event! The Rally ended in laughter due to corny jokes, ringing ears from bad singing, and Michelle Tra as the new Lieutenant Governor for the upcoming service year! Good Job D’Iberville!

Winter Seasonal Service
Projects
MAKE MATS FOR THE HOMELESS Have everyone from your club bring in plastic shopping bags. Then, knot them together and weave them into a rug like pattern. A more detailed description can be found on https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Makea-Rug-from-Plastic-Grocery-Bags/ You can then donate the mats you make to a homeless shelter. This project would provide donation and creation service opportunities to the members of your club and involve your club in the Quarterly Service Project for the months of January, February, and March.
START A FREE TUTORING PROGRAM A great way to serve your school is to start a free tutoring program. Members of your club could volunteer to tutor fellow students in a particular class, subject, or standardized test section. You can then set up a sign up schedule of available tutoring dates based on the availability of the volunteers. You can also reach out to teachers in your school for assistance and resources.
HOST A BOOK DRIVE Literacy is one of the most important skills in our society and reading is the greatest way to improve literacy. By hosting a book drive, your club could provide people with this resource. Simply set up boxes around your school and ask people to donate new or gently used books. You can then donate your collection to your local library, school libraries, or place them in Little Library boxes. Little Libraries are in public places where people can take a book and leave a book. You could also collect children's books and donate them to kids at your local pre-school or elementary school.

Winter Seasonal Fundraisers
DOG WASH Everyone has done a car wash before, but how many people have done a dog wash?
Dogs are
known as man's best friend for a reason, and owners will pay to pamper their fur babies. You need dog shampoo, clean towels, and access to water. Be sure to assess the demand for this service in your community before you begin planning this project. Have liability waivers for your volunteers and make signs that say friendly dogs only.
YARD SALE Ask members to clean out their closets and donate items they no longer need or want. Your club can offer service hours to those who bring in items. Your can then host a price night where your whole club gets together and price all of the items you received. You then hold the event in a high traffic area of your community and let the funds start flowing in from your yard sale
PENNY WARS
fundraiser.
Penny wars are a great fundraiser because they bring out the competitive side in us all. You set it up as a war between the classes in your school. You set up jugs in a common area and every piece of silver change placed in the jar counts as positive points where as pennies count as negative points. For example, If you drop a quarter in your classes jar, but someone else drops five pennies in the jar, then your class has 20 points in the positive. Cash also counts as positive points. You can involve volunteers from your club to count the coins at the end of every day.

How to Bounce Back from the January Slump As a new year and new semester begin, many of us in Key Club find that our clubs are not as active during the month of January. This is known as the January slump, and it is something that affects Key Clubs all around the world. It is important to make sure that your club bounces back from the January slump as February begins and this year's March District Convention fastly approaches, but how do you do this?
Plan interesting Serrvice Projects There is nothing like an awesome service project to bring Key Clubbers together and reignite their passion for service in the new semester because all Key Clubbers share a common trait which is the love of service. There is an endless

variety of possible service projects you can do. Some may include a clean up day, a work day at an animal shelter, or even a nice luncheon or breakfast to appreciate the faculty at your school. No matter what project you choose, an act of service will always bring Key Clubbers together.
Have a Club Bonding Event Coming together closer as a club can cause members to become more active because they then want to spend more time with their fellow members that they have grown close with. Club bonding events may range from a club movie night to a club picnic in a nice place in your area such as a park, but all club bonding events have the same purpose which is to allow your club to grow closer to each other.

What should you wear? Dress code varies from day to day, but there are three types of dress code throughout the weekend. On Friday night, the dress code is casual and consists of the convention t-shirt and casual bottoms such as jeans. Saturday morning's dress code is business casual, but Saturday evening, for the Governor's ball, the dress code is business formal which means that gentlemen must wear a tie or they will be given one to wear be fore entering the session room. Business proffessional for ladies includes a nice dress or suit Shorts are unacceptable for both business casual and business professional. Your advisor should have a more detailed description of their expec tations as far as dress code goes. More information regarding District Convention will be released in the next issue.

A Word From the Governor At the beginning of my term, I selected a Governor's Project. One part being the Jamaica Well Fundraiser. I have been working with Jannie, the chair of the Gov Project/K-Family, and Sophia, co-chair of the fundraising committee, to set some goals for us. I want to raise $16,000 by March 1, 2020. The goal would be possible through great advertisements and talking to your clubs about fundraising opportunities. I have attached below a pledge form for you all to fill out to send to the District Office in Baton Rouge, LA (5253 Dijon Drive Suite B, Baton Rouge, LA, 70808). The pledge forms would give us an idea of what clubs are trying to fundraise. Now, if you all fill this form out, we cannot force you to complete this pledge; we can highly encourage you to. For some motivation: - The Indiana District, a much smaller District, was able to raise about $10,000 over about three months. - Clubs who raise $1,000 will receive an award at DCON. I cannot do this alone. I need your help! Yes, you reading this email:) You can help by setting up fundraisers at Cane's and other businesses and having fundraisers at your school. The goal will ONLY be possible with everyone participating. If we push this hard, I think $16,000 is a very attainable goal. For some fundraising ideas, check out the District's fundraising booklet you can get by talking to your lieutenant governor! Any money sent to the District Office in Baton Rouge, LA, the money's purpose, Jamaica Well Fundraising, must be notated explicitly in and on the envelope Yours in Service, Max Hailey District Governor Louisiana-Mississippi-West Tennessee District of Key Club International governor.lmtkc@gmail.com maxhaileykc@gmail.com

Planning a Service Project
A step by step breakdown of how to plan a service project based on an observed need in your community
Step 1. Identifying Need Whether it is a trash covered park, old posters and tape around your school, or an abundance of dogs waiting for adoption in your local animal shelter, you need to identify the need you are trying to fulfill in your community. For this example, we will use an animal shelter in need of assistance with the additional care animals need during the Winter. Step 2. Choosing Project Once you know the cause you would like to support, you need to choose a specific project that will achieve your goal. If an animal is in need of assistance with caring for animals during Winter time, then there are a variety of projects that will help their efforts, but which should you choose? For this example, we will be holding a laundry day and collect blankets and towels.
17
Step 3. Developing Plan Now that we know what we want to do, we have to figure out how to do it. In other words, we need a plan. We will have club members meet on a Saturday at the animal shelter and we will wash and dry all of the blankets and towels at the shelter while others clean pens. We will have another group of volunteers set up at the front doors hosting a blanket and towel drive. Members will sign up for a station and shift to work that day. Step 4. Recruiting Volunteers Now, we have a plan ready to execute, but we don't have any volunteers yet. We will create a sign up sheet for stations and shifts to be passed around during a club meeting. We will also make posters advertising the project to be placed around the school, shelter, and businesses around town.
Step 5. Project Execution Now, we have a plan and volunteers. All we have to do is execute the plan. You show up 30 minutes before the project is scheduled to begin and speak with the shelter staff about the plan for the day again and prepare sign in sheets for those who volunteered ahead of time and those who will show up that day. You

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" - Ghandi 18
RUNNING FOR OFFICE Club Office Positions at the club level can vary on a club to club basis, so it is important to know what offices are available before you decide what to run for and how you will campaign. Also consider your experience in Key Club and other leadership positions you have held in relation to your readiness for an officer position. There are a variety of offices that can be held at club level, but the only offices that are eligible to receive recognition at the District Convention are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Class Represenatives.
President: Every club will have a least one president who presides over meetings along with other duties that may vary on a club to club basis.
Vice President: The Vice President presides over the meeting in the event of the President's absence and assist in Presidential duties.
Secretary The Secretary takes minutes at the meeting, keeps track of attendance, keeps track of service hours, keeps an accurate club roster, and submits monthly secretary reports to the district.
Treasurer: The Treasurer keeps a record of the financial standing of the club including a current balance for any club accounts. Some schools do not allow students to handle money, so the duties of a Treasurer may vary widely on a club to club basis.
Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior Representatives: Class representatives are elected by their graduating class to represent its views on the club board. They may have other duties assigned to them that may differ on a club to club basis.
Tips for Answering Questions 1. Restate the question before answering it to allow yourself time to think about your answer. 2. Ask if your response answered their question to show you value their question and aren't trying to dodge it. 3. Don't be afraid to say, "I don't know, I will have to get back to you." It is better to respond at another time with a correct answer than that moment with an incorrect answer. 4. Insert personal stories or information when it suits the question to allow the audience to get to know you as a person and a candidate.
