Dear Key Clubbers of the Kentucky-Tennessee District,

Registration & Contest Information is available here!

It is our honor and pleasure to invite all of you to attend the 2020 K-T District Convention, March 20–22, 2020 at the Marriott–Griffin Gate Resort and Spa in Lexington, Kentucky. This year’s convention is jam-packed with engaging activities and exciting events. This year, our Keynote speaker is Joshua Hiscock. Joshua Hiscock is the Director of Annual Giving for the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and a Lead Facilitator for Key Leaders across the country. Mr. Hiscock will set the tone for an exciting weekend with his powerful, and compelling presentation at Friday’s opening session. He will also lead an exciting Mixer Activity and an entertaining Service Session Saturday morning.

At District Convention, we will have many different events and activities for everyone to participate in. We will elect new district officers to lead our district through 2021, discuss events throughout our district, and award clubs for their hard work throughout this past year. There will also be many educational and motivational workshops, where you can gather knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm to take back to your home club and community. The annual talent show will provide a chance for you to showcase your talent, and the District Dance is always a memorable event full of fun and lots of memories.

This year, you will have the opportunity to display your club’s service activities at the eighth annual Service Fair. Creating a display for this allows your club’s achievements to be seen throughout our convention by many other clubs and Key Clubbers! There will also be free time Saturday afternoon for you to enjoy the many sights and attractions in the Lexington area.

Last, but certainly not least, you will make friends and create memories that will last a lifetime. This engaging weekend will be the highlight of your Key Club year. We invite and encourage you to come and make the most of all this convention has to offer. It will be an enjoyable, exciting, and memorable weekend.

We hope that your club will make plans to attend this exciting convention in Lexington, KY.

Yours in Friendship and Service,

The Kentucky-Tennessee. District Board

I hope everyone is as excited about my first publication of the K-T Key as I am! I figured now was a great time to send it out as everyone is just getting settled into their new school year. This edition discusses what awards our District won at ICON, Key Club’s service partners, and a lot of upcoming events. I hope you enjoy reading!

Yours in Service,
Aiden Hamade

Hey K-T!

I hope you all are having a great summer. In this month’s newsletter, we will recap ICON 2019, as well as provide some helpful reminders for the incoming months.

We had a wonderful time at ICON this past week, and we cannot wait to come back to our homes, schools, and communities with all our new ideas! With you all’s participation, we will truly be able to create great change.

Thank you, as always, for being service leaders and supporting Key Clubbers across the District.

Yours in gratitude and service,
