Sweatshirt Fundraiser
Have you been feeling chilly lately? Are you looking for the perfect holiday present for your Key Club bestie? Or maybe, you didn’t get the chance to order spirit gear in September? Whatever the case, we have the item for you!
D34S’s Sweatshirt Fundraiser is now open for orders! Check out the amazing design created by Ian Dang and Jessa Yang of Homestead Key Club, the winners of the Sweatshirt Design Contest. You can also order division t-shirts and tote bags (designed by Homestead President Lucia!) if you didn’t get the chance to earlier.
Orders are due Friday, December 22nd at 11:59 PM. Just like for spirit gear orders, please contact your club president if you would like to order any items – they will be collecting payments and orders. All proceeds will be donated to the Pediatric Trauma Program and YES Initiative. We hope you can help support!

2023-2024 Member and Advisor Surveys
Attention all members! The CNH Membership Growth Committee has worked to create a Member Survey Form and Advisor Survey Form in order to gain more data on all Key Clubbers and Advisors within our district.
Please fill out the Member Survey Form, and remind all of your friends, club members, and division members to fill it out as well! New members, old members, officers, and anyone in Key Club is encouraged to fill this out. Your input is crucial, as we will use this data to improve our district in years to come!
In addition, please send your faculty and Kiwanis advisors the Advisor Survey Form, which will help us learn more about the advisors of our district. This data will be utilized to plan ways in which we can improve our district in years to come!
