Southern University.

Outside of school, I am a
Knight of the Order of the
Knights of Pythagoras, a
service organization
dedicated to the uplifting of
youth, specifically African-
American males. This year,
I plan to launch a revamp
initiative called Operation
Revitalization in my
division. My goals include
the reactivation of
suspended clubs and the
chartering of new ones. I
look forward to working
with the District Board, as
well as with you my fellow
Key Clubbers to make this
year of service legendary.

Best wishes,
Kelvin Wells, Jr.

2 KEY CLUB Division 8A Newsletter
I have set several goals
for the year as
Lieutenant Governor.
However, I cannot do
accomplish them alone.
I call on you, my fellow
Key Clubbers, to band
together and help me
move this division
forward. One of these is
Operation
Revitalization. Our
division had over 500
members at one time.
Now we have almost
half as many. I firmly
believe that Operation
Revitalization can help
us swell into the great
and powerful division
that we can be.
Through this Operation,
I want to revamp two
fallen clubs and start at
least one new one. It
may sound difficult, but
it can be done. We
dont have to do it
alone, either. Our
sponsoring Kiwanis
clubs will be more than
happy to help us. I
know that we have the
manpower and will
power to accomplish
this. Another goal of
mine includes having
more Interclub service
projects and social
events. We cant carry
on the K Family Spirit if
we dont know each
other. In order for us to
work together well, we
have to know who we
are working with.
Having several Division
wide projects (cleaning
up a park, etc.) and
social events
(barbecues, etc) will
help. If anyone has any
questions, comments,
suggestions, or
concerns, do not
hesitate to contact me.
You may email me at
wellskelvin3@gmail.com
or call or text me at

As we all well know, the
current Governors
Project is Project
Eliminate. The goal of
this project is to
eliminate
Maternal/Neonatal
Tetanus from the face
of the earth. We have
made progress.

ELIMINATED FROM 34
COUNTRIES.
25 COUNTRIES ARE
STILL AT RISK.
MADAGASCAR, THE
PHILIPPINES,
CAMBODIA, AND INDIA
ARE IN THE PROCESS
OF SCHEDULING
VALIDATION SURVEYS.
THESE SURVEYS
DETERMINE WHETHER
MNT CAN BE
CONSIDERED
ELIMINATED OR NOT
FROM A COUNTRY.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY
62 TARGET DISTRICTS
IN THE DRC THAT NEED
TO BE ELIMINATED
FROM MNT.
KEY CLUB

ENCOURAGES EACH
KCI MEMBER TO
DONATE AT LEAST
$5.40 THIS YEAR. IF
EACH MEMBER
DONATES THIS
AMOUNT, WE CAN
REACH THE GOAL OF
ELIMINATING MNT

WELL AS ELIMINATING
IT OFF OF THE FACE OF
THE EARTH BY 2015
