Service in Summer
Sadly as summer comes to an end, so do the opportunities to get all your summer requirements completed. Each member is required to have AT LEAST 50 hours by the time the month of August comes to a close. However, if you were on probation, you have a specific goal that must be met in order to keep your membership. We love each and everyone you to pieces and hope that you all do meet this requirement. So far, weve served over 400 hours to our home, school, and community during the months of June and July. That brings us to a total of 1,743 hours as a club. This is OUTSTANDING according to Key Club International standards. As awesome as we are, we still have a long way to go to reach our 10,000 hours goal. But with the Key Club optimism and the Goleman fighting spirit, we are confident that this goal will be met. Let the service continue!

International Council
Meet Our Leaders on the International Level

Its my pleasure to introduce you to Forida Districts own Randolph Mckinnie! Randolph is an upcoming senior at Graceville HS. As Kiwanis is Key Club's parent organization, I would strive to strengthen our communication with them as well as increasing the awareness of our other K -Family counterparts Hes been assigned the Caribbean-Atlantic, Missouri-Arkansas, and Pennsylvania .Districts!

The trustee assigned to the Mighty Mighty Florida District is Jared Greene from the New Jersey District. He says, To promote fellowship and growth within our organization, I plan to bridge the communications gap between the club, district, and international levels. By developing resources and using social media, I plan to address the concerns that Key Clubbers face today and assist in their crusade against social ills. Jared has been assigned the Jamaica, Carolinas, and Florida Districts!

Annie Lewandowski
2011-2012 International President

I look forward to serving Key Club International

2011-2012 International Vice President

Catt Lovins
I hope to increase communication among members and officers in different districts as well as help guide the organization through a successful year.

in many different ways throughout this upcoming year. First I want to build a strong foundation of service, bringing our focus back to the reason we all joined the organization. Through service, we will be able to strength communication and unity within the districts and divisions. Secondly, I want to increase the promotion of Key Club International, we are too strong of an organization for people not to know us, and I want to see every high school student have the chance at experiencing service like I have been able to have.

Barbara Goleman Key Club

Leaders, Thank you for this wonderful opportunity you have given me! It is such an honor to be the 2011-2012 Governor of the Florida District of Key Club International. Not only that, but I now have the pleasure to work with the best and brightest leaders in Florida, you. I would like to thank you for serving your community and for making my job worthwhile.

Meet our new District Governor

Doug Ream!

Eighty-six years ago, a couple of Key boys got together with a Kiwanis Club in Sacramento and created the first Key Club. Do you think that the Charter President of this first club knew that this organization would eventually have over 260,000 members in 30 countries all around the world? Lets jump forward to 1943, 18 years after the first Key Club is chartered. Key Club has spread throughout several states. The first district, the Mighty Mighty Florida District, invites Key Clubbers from around the United States to attend their annual convention. At this annual convention, Key Club International is formed, and the first International President is elected, our very own Malcolm Lewis. In 1961, a teenage boy by the name of Bill Nelson, our future U.S. Senator, is elected to the position of International President. We are no w the second largest district, and in my opinion, the best district in all of International! I have set some pretty substantial goals for the Florida District this year, but I believe with all the amazing Key Clubbers out there that they can be accomplished. I have set a goal of 400,000 service hours, which means each of you must roughly do 20 service hours a month! I also have set a goal of saving over 25,000 babies, through the ELIMINATE Project. This may seem like a lot of lives to save, but I believe we can do it! Also, I have put an emphasis on the Mentoring and Modeling Program, my Governors Project. The M&M Program is any project dedicated to teaching a child a lesson. Whether it is sportsmanship or coloring, it is mentoring. To quote a very famous movie, There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer. Your heart will allow you to accomplish anything. Many people say that if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. I like to think that if you put your heart into it, you will not only accomplish anything, but bring passion into whatever you are doing. It is not enough just to go to a service project; you must have that passion to be there for it to truly mean something. Someone told me a while ago, that its service with a smile. So this is what I ask of you, I already know you will be doing service, so I ask that you serve with a smile. Who knows, maybe that smile can make a difference, and, as the Florida District, we will make a difference one child at a time! Yours in Service, Doug Ream
