November DCM

District Pen-Pals

Are you interested in meeting someone completely new in Key Club? Want to avoid awkward greetings and get straight to the friendship making? Sign up to be a District Pen-Pal!

As a District Pen-Pal, you will be paired up with another Key Clubber that might be from Northern California, Southern California, Reno, Las Vegas, or even Hawaii! Throughout the term, you'll be able to have a friend that's hundreds or thousands of miles away from where you serve. Learn more about Key Clubs other than your own and take away positive aspects for your Key Club experience. 

Additionally, the Membership Development & Education Committee will be promoting monthly tasks and challenges for you and your Pen-Pal to take part in. These activities will be catered to develop leadership skills, build character, and to get to know your Pen-Pal closer more detail to come out throughout the term! 

Lastly, the Membership Development & Education Committee is creating a District Convention workshop to give you and your Pen-Pal the opportunity to meet in person and present about your experience with the program and moments of self growth!

 MDE | District Pen-Pals

To become a District Pen-Pal, go fill out the sign-up Google Form at http://tinyurl.com/MDE-CNHPenPals-1819. 

Be sure to fill it out by November 15th, 2018 by 11:59 PM PDT in order to be guaranteed a Pen-Pal!

Division Pins

Our pins for this term have come in and we are selling them for a dollar each! Let me know if you would like to purchase one!

Division Judging Committee

If anyone would like to participate and help the members and advisors around them receive some much deserved recognition, then ask me about the Division Judging Committee! The deciding process will occur throughout January, so availability will be crucial during this time.
