DCM - Division Council Meeting
Key club's meet once a month with their division to mingle, share last month's service, and preview what's to come for the following month.
PTP - Pediatric Trauma Program
The mission of our Pediatric Trauma Program is to develop local projects which will reduce the number of children in our three-state District who are killed or injured by trauma, ensuring all children live happy, healthy and safe lives.
RTC - Regional Training Conference
At the Region Training Conference which takes place at Camp Jones Gulch, you’ll get to meet other Key Clubbers from Region 9,15,and 17. This two day, one night experience includes informative workshops, a campfire, skits, alternate activities, and a dance!
FRN - Fall Rally North
Thousands of members gather at Six Flags for this intense Rally. At FRN, LTGs and Executive officers are "auctioned" off. Auction funds and a portion of the ticket sales for both events go towards the Pediatric Trauma Program. This is also a rally against each division! The division with most spirit and best cheers is named the winner of the Spirit Stick!
DCON - District Convention
This year, we'll travel to Anaheim to celebrate Kiwanis' 100 years of service! District Convention will be filled with informative workshops, spirit battles, a keynote speaker, a fun dance, election for the new District board, retirement, and in
Eliminate Project
With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the world by 2015. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.
