Key Club Jamaica: District Bulletin 1st Quarter

―……To me servant leadership is a good way to

describe the coaching role that managers are

expected to play today to help their people

win. Judging and evaluating people erodes

their self-esteem; servant leadership builds self-

esteem and encourages individual growth

while obtaining the organization’s objectives.

Servant leadership is something that people

need. We need to support and help individuals

in the organization to win. The days of the

manager being judge, jury and critic rather

than cheerleader, facilitator and listener are

over.

The concept of servant leadership is a

wonderful way of symbolizing what the

manager of today—and of the future— is

going to have to be successful.‖

Volume x Issue 1 Servant Leadership

Name: Leila Green Division: Three

Green - This exemplifies tranquility and calm attributes, it denotes balance and stability

as well as harmony. These qualities i believe symbolize who I am and what I stand for. I

desire balance and stability in all things and I’m calm in doing so. I believe in working

with people in harmony - that prevents confusion and chaos - so we all can achieve

together!

Name: Chadwick Anderson Division: Two

Maya Blue depicts my life and character well. I possess an innate desire to help make

Earth a better place for this and the coming generations, which is derived from my

Consciousness of the world and its inhabitants. I possess sufficient stability and

integrity to lead my division well, as well as to be a role model for the younger

generations.

Name: Shanice Walsh Division: One

Brown- It is considered to be a "safe" colour and signifies intelligence, reassurance, and trust. Brown is a warm neutral colour that can stimulate the appetite. It is found extensively in nature. I'm a nature lover and I enjoy the tranquil feeling it gives.

Name: Brandon Ten-Fah Division: Five

RED- I see strength in red. Red embodies what it means to be bold and daring. To see

what you want and to go for it, knowing that nothing has power to stop you once you

have made up your mind. Red is not a passive colour, it doesn’t go unnoticed and it

never will. It is powerful, energetic and active. The saying goes “good things come to

those who wait” but REDS like myself much rather getting out there and claiming the

prize with full enthusiasm and zeal in everything we do.

Name: Renisha Daley Division: Six PURPLE- It symbolizes wisdom, ambition, independence, creativity and leadership. All these qualities i possess, makes me a very effective and serviceable leader with strong leadership skills and qualities.

Name: Shanique Campbell Division: Seven

LAVENDER - 'Lavenders' are highly individual, fastidious, witty, creative and sensitive,

with a strong desire to be unique and defy the conventions and limits of societal

construct.

I currently attend Campion College and I’m

in lower six where I do the humanities and

social sciences. I’m involved in a lot of co-

curricular activities but Key Club has my

heart and I feel truly privileged to be a part

of an organization that enables me to

change the lives of others and to interact

with people from all walks of life. Let’s get a

bit personal! Here are five tid-bits about me,

I’m an only child, I love small animals

(especially kittens), I almost poisoned myself

once when I was a toddler mistaking rat

poison for candy (true story :|) , I know how

to drive and I’m a huge fan of Fidel Castro.

Want to get to know me better?

Hello Key Clubbers! Has it really been three months

since District Convention? Time is just flying! I sometimes

forget that we only have one year to accomplish all

the goals that we’ve set out for ourselves. Being your

governor has been quite the experience thus far and I

only hope to continue on this positive path of service,

fun and fellowship which brings us all together. I’m

curious though, What does Key Club mean to you?

To me Key Club is so much more than an afterschool

club, it’s a way of life and a constant source of

inspiration, excitement and comfort. Many of you may

feel this way also but whenever I’m doing something

for my community, high school or nation I always feel

good about myself because I believe that I’m making

a difference one service hour at a time. This is what I

hope to pass on to every key clubber I meet. I love how

dedicated each of you are to this organization and if I

accomplish nothing else as district governor I would be

content to retire next year knowing that our district has

placed an increased value on COMMUNITY SERVICE

and SELF GROWTH rather than the aesthetic pleasures

of simply being in key club.

So this year everyone I challenge you to be creative,

be daring and most importantly GET INVOLVED. Expect

great things from your district board key clubbers just as

how we expect great things from you. EACH and

EVERY one of you is a part of a Key Club family and you

should always be ready to welcome others into our

family. Key Club is for me, Key Club is for you, Key Club

is for everyone.

Have an amazing summer everyone and don’t be

afraid to call/text/ping/facebook/skype/email me ! Go

ahead and stalk us. Yours in friendship and service,

Jodie-Ann Dunn

Governor

Hello Key Clubbers! Let me take this opportunity to

officially thank you all for your support at the recently held

District Convention. Now that the dust has settled, I must

say that I am still overwhelmed and therefore the more

enthused to help propel this district to greater heights.

Surely any achievement will not be possible without your

full support and cooperation. I look forward to having your

full participation in our district projects, Kiwanis events,

divisional services, and in sending your REPORTS on time.

Woot!

Our aim for this year is sustenance in maintaining the

active status of our clubs, reactivating inactive and

suspended clubs, and to have greater participation of the

membership from each club. I would like to plead

therefore that each of you will make it your priority to aim

to attend every project your club organizes even if you

may not be able to stay for the entire service. We want

outsiders to be impressed by the zest and vigor of the

clubs and their members.

The new Key Club year has officially begun in May, and as

we celebrate its inception, revel in our new positions, and

bask in the sensations; I remind you that there is work to be

done. Nevertheless, you are not alone; I assure you that

the Kiwanians and the District board are committed to

helping you. Secretaries and Treasurers feel free to

contact me about any uncertainties in your duties, I have

open ears and an open heart ready to serve you.

I wish for you all a peaceful, productive and enlightening

year as we endeavor to serve our home school and

community with much passion, grace and love.

Yours in loving service,

With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to

eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. 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 by 2015, 129 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.

Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one

of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, they are

eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will reach the

poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care.

The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many

families.

The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) is an endowed fund for Key Club International held

within the Kiwanis International Foundation. This fund, utilizing the interest earned, helps

Key Clubs and Key Club members serve the world through grants for service

opportunities. The Fund also enables members to improve themselves by providing

academic scholarships for higher education. The fund is established through a portion

of your KCI dues and through the purchase of G. Harold Martin Fellowships. YOF grants

can help you take action. Look around and identify the things that need to get done in

your school, community or world. Key Clubs have applied for grant funds to support

many varied service projects. YOF Funds are granted only to Key Clubs and/or club

members. There is only one funding cycle for the Youth Opportunities Fund. The

application must be received by October 15 each year. Clubs may request funding

assistance from $200 to $2,000. The committee typically funds those clubs who are

asking for a portion of the total cost of the project, and clubs who are working with

other organizations to fund and complete the project. Notification of the Key Club

International Board’s decision will be mailed no later than January 15.

Applications must be submitted to Kiwanis International, 3636 Woodview Trace,

Indianapolis, IN USA, 46268 or via fax to (317) 879-0204. (The YOF Grant application is

included in the Downloads section of the Key Club Web site under Contests and

Awards. The guidelines for filing the application are in the Guidebook under Board

Policies.

Please review them before completing the application.

Since 1925, Key Club International has provided more than 12 million hours of service to

homes, schools and communities each year. From building bridges, to collecting over

six tons of food, thousands of dollars raised for cancer research, helping eliminate

iodine deficiency disorder, Key Club International plays a vital role in serving the

children of the world.

Every Key Club has the authority to select its own service projects because there usually

are many more service needs in a community than there are service clubs and

agencies to meet them. However, all Key Clubs are asked to participate in the Major

Emphasis Program (MEP): ―Children: Their Future, Our Focus.‖

―Children: Their Future, Our Focus‖

In 1946, Key Club International challenged all Key Clubs and members to focus energies

on making an international impact. This program is still followed today through the

Major Emphasis Program: ―Children: Their Future, Our Focus.‖

To fulfill the mission of the MEP, Key Club International serves children in many ways. By

working with Key Club International’s partner organizations, Key Clubs serve children by

aiding other organizations committed to serving children. Key Club International

celebrates its three partnerships: UNICEF, March of Dimes and Children’s Miracle

Network.

Key Club’s service initiative

The Key Club service initiative is an element of the MEP and is created on a two-year

basis. All of the hands-on service provided to children by Key Club International

members is directed to a single area of need, to make a substantial impact.

The 2008-10 service initiative is Live 2 Learn.

* Assisting five to nine year olds to overcome learning obstacles.

* Enabling these students to be successful and give back to their community.

Improving grades

Mentoring, tutoring, and developing reading improvement programs.

Giving back

Work with primary schools to coordinate service projects for young students to

participate in.

Growing together

Stimulating imagination and learning through creative crafts and drama.

In 1974 the Kiwanis Club of Kingston under the leadership of the President Milton

Weller and Chairman Michael Henrique's, built the first Key Club in Jamaica,

namely ―Kingston College Key Club.‖ in the early1980’s the Eastern Canada and

the Caribbean District Board and Governor were of the opinion that the growth

of Key Club in Jamaica made it difficult to manage together with those in

Eastern Canada. The Governor visited Jamaica with a proposal to form a

Caribbean District. Jamaica made a counter proposal that they would gladly

agree to a Jamaica District and accept the challenge of administering a

Jamaica District only.

On Saturday October, 1985 an all island Key Club Meeting was held at the

Ocho Rios High School. The purpose of which was to establish ―Key Club District

of Jamaica.‖ The following were the resolutions were adopted:

* The Official name of the district ―Key Club District of Jamaica‖

* The By-laws of the District

* The District Dues J$10.00 per member

* Governor Andrew Pairman, Meadowbrook High School

* Secretary Treasurer Janet Walker, St. Catherine High School

* Administrator Michael Henrique's

The meeting concluded the requirement of Kiwanis International. The Jamaica

District recognize the support of DLGE Lloyd Distant, Ryland Grant, all Presidents

and club members

Six Personal Gifts to Control Your Own Destiny and Stay Great

Never give your power away. You have six personal gifts to control your own destiny and stay great.

Greatness is being responsible, and doing what is expected of you. To be in control of your own destiny you

must be pro-active. Life takes place in a decision. When you take action to make something happen, stuff

is going to happen. What to do about what happens, after you make something happen is where you take

control. When stuff happens that you did not plan on, that is opportunity knocking.

First personal gift: Knowledge - Without knowledge you will have no power to take action. Build on the

knowledge already have. Learned knowledge is power. Observe, listen, read, smell, taste, touch, practice,

practice, and practice. I am willing to listen, learn, and change how I think. Think big. It does not cost

anything to think big. When you think big, you are taking care of yourself. When you think small you are

focusing on your ego. The self always thinks big.

Second personal gift: Grace – You must request grace (permission)

You must have permission from yourself. Without permission you will procrastinate. You will sit and wait.

Those who hesitate are lost.

Third personal gift: Authority – You must enjoy your authority to say yes or no! Without authority someone

else is running the show. You are the authority in your life, nobody thinks in your mind. You are the center

that watches and runs the show that can choose which way it will go. I am consciousness. Take charge of

your own destiny. Guess what? Now what?

Fourth personal gift: Spirit – You must nurture your Sprit. It is so important because it brings energy and

excitement. Spirit must grow because the opportunities will grow as times go on. Spirit is the greatest unused

power on earth. Music can put wings on the human spirit. That's the spirit!

Fifth personal gift: Commitment – You must strengthen your commitment to yourself. Without commitment

there is no long-term persistence. Persistence creates desire and builds knowledge. Knowledge must build,

because of so much opportunity. One must have a heart-felt commitment in any endeavor they

undertake. Be committed to yourself. The commitment you have to yourself is the commitment you will

have to your family, your profession, your community. Love is a feeling of commitment. Commitment is a

joining of forces.

Sixth personal gift: Opportunity – You must seize opportunity. Realize that problems are only opportunities

based on how you view them. If you can't do anything, pray for someone else. If you can't pray, ask others

to pray for you. If possible, do something. Faith without work is dead. Problems are sometimes opportunities

for you to keep control of your own destiny.

"Tell me and I will forget. Teach me and I will remember. Involve me and I will learn!"

--- Ben Franklin

Fall in love with learning!

With best intentions to serve with humility,
