Cha Cha Cha Cha Changin’ The New Year has brought change upon our ideas and future hopes. The Minn-Dak Key Club District Board has come up with revisions that will be discussed at the Spring Convention House of Delegates. Membership dues will be raised from $10.50 to $11.00. We feel that the extra 50 cents is a small amount of change that will have a huge impact due to the amount of members that we have. The new reserve of money will be used for improving conventions, and will hopefully offer a discount to Key Clubbers who plan on attending District Conventions. Early Dues should be in by November 1st of the current school year and Regular Dues should be submitted by December 1st of the current school year. A club is declared as suspended if they have not paid their annual club dues by February 1st of the current school year. A club is declared as inactive if they have not paid their club dues from the previous year by October 1st of the following school year.
Clubs that are inactive or suspended cannot attend conventions or obtain any type of award at the district level An inactive club may be re-activated if they do the following: a. Fill out a chartering form b. Pay their international dues c. Pay the $100 re-instatement fee A suspended club may become completely active again by paying their dues for the current school year The original by-laws say that we must match the Kiwanis Regions. We now have 7 Divisions to match the 7 Kiwanis Regions. Division 7 is split into 7A and 7B. So we will now have a total of 8 Lieutenant Governor positions. We will also be discussing club by-laws in the Officer Forum at Spring Convention. Officers and administrators will be receiving a template that can be used to organize their personal club bylaws.
