Hey Key Clubber!
I’m proud to introduce you to the first Monthly KCCC (Key Club
Committee Chairs) Newsletter. At the April New Board Training
Session, the newly appointed Chairs and the Executive Board came
up with the idea of creating this awesome KCCC Newsletter. The
Newsletter is designed to help you get the latest information,
educate new members, and guide every one of you throughout the
year. If you have any questions, whether it’s about club chartering,
project ideas, or opinions on something, each of the KCCC members
and I will be there for you at all times so don’t hesitate to contact
us. For this month, we are going to introduce our 2014-2015
Committee Chairs along with some of their duties, goals for the year,
and some of the latest updates. If you have any questions regarding
to anything that KCCC talked about, please let us know.
Thank you,
Shiyue Xie

2014-2015 District Eliminate
Project Chair - Celia Nalbach
Hello Wisconsin Upper Michigan Key Clubbers!
My name is Celia Nalbach, and I could not be more excited to call myself
your 2014-2015 District Eliminate Project Chair.
I am a junior at Neenah High School where I am involved in many
activities. Outside of Key Club I am a part of the Neenah Girls Cross
Country and Track teams, the National Honors Society, Vex Robotics,
and Math Team. All these activities, including the heavy load of
homework high school provides keeps me quite busy, however, there is
always time in my life for Key Club.
When I was presented the opportunity to serve as District Eliminate
Project Chair this year and the rest of the Wisconsin Upper Michigan Key
Club Committee Chairs, I was extremely honored. I am very passionate
about this cause, and I have big plans for the upcoming year. There is
only one year of the Eliminate Campaign remaining, yet there is still a
lot to be accomplished. The Eliminate Project is also Erin Idler’s
Governor’s Project this year, which makes it that much more important
to support and advocate. It is our goal as a District to raise $5 per
member by DCON 2015. We can do it! I ask that all WIUM Key Club
members share my enthusiasm for the Eliminate Project, and together
we can make a difference by helping to eliminate neonatal and maternal
tetanus from the face of the earth. Please do not hesitate to contact me
if you have any questions; I look forward to working with all of you!

2014-2015 District Eliminate
Project Chair - Celia Nalbach
Since DCON I have been working on formulating ideas for the upcoming
year in WIUM. Each division should look forward to having a big
Divisional Project sometime throughout the year…maybe even this
summer! Also Eliminate Week recently happened on May 5-9. WIUM
held a competition during that week to see which club could raise the
most money per member. Reminder: if you participated in the
competition, your money and Eliminate Project Donation Form (located
on the WIUM website) is due by June 1st. But don’t worry…if your club
didn’t get a chance to participate in Eliminate Week on May 5-9, feel free
to make your own Eliminate Week! Every week is a good week to help
save the lives of mothers and babies from neonatal and maternal
tetanus!
Also, be on the look-out for Eliminate Committee applications. In the near future, I
will be setting up my committee, and anyone who is interested is highly
recommended to apply! Enjoy these last few weeks of school, and continue to serve
your homes, schools, and communities with pride.

2014-2015 District Preferred
Charities Chair - Taylor Hurst
Hello Key Clubbers!
My name is Taylor Hurst, and I am thrilled to be your Committee Chair of
Preferred Charities for the Key Club year of 2014-2015. This year is going to
be phenomenal, and I can’t wait to start it with all of you!
Helping people is my biggest passion, and it’s because of Key Club that I’ve
been able to do just that! I’ve always had a desire for helping others, but I
wasn’t sure how to get started. I joined Key Club not knowing what to expect,
but since then I have fallen in love with this club. I’ve met so many amazing
people, and I have grown as a person and as a leader. I am proud to say that I
am a dedicated member of Key Club. In addition to Key Club, I do many other
things to get involved. I am currently a freshman at Kimberly High School and
I take part in Forensics, Free3, Choir and the Theatre program. I love working
with others and I always keep an open mind for new possibilities.
As the Committee Chair of Preferred Charities, my goal is to have effective
communication among club members and raise awareness for Key Club’s
preferred charities. I am super excited for the upcoming events in honor of the
amazing charities that Key Club supports, and I want to get as many Key
Clubbers involved as possible! I’m open to any ideas to get the word out about
these wonderful charities. Please feel more than welcomed to contact me via
Facebook, email, text or give me a call. I would love to answer any questions
that you may have, or even if you just need someone to talk to.
I believe that when we come together, we can raise awareness and make a
difference in many people’s lives! I cannot wait to see how much of an impact
we make in this upcoming year.
Yours in Service,
Taylor Hurst

This is the first year that the Preferred Charities Committee will be taking off!
On the committee, we will be coming up with ways to raise awareness and
support of the Preferred Charities, as well as planning fundraisers and events
in their honor. We have so many awesome events coming up, and I can't wait
to see how much of an impact we make this year!
If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected], or send me a call or text at (920)257.6517.
Together we can change the lives of many!

Hello Key Clubbers!
I am Stephanie Rink, the Bylaws & Policies Chair. Do not feel bad if you’ve
never heard of the position. It was created just this year, so that means this is
the first year it will be around. It also means my own work for the committee
may outline the work for future chairs. My role this year with the brand new
committee is to discover what this position means for WIUM.
For those of you unfamiliar with bylaws or policies, you would be surprised
that you know a lot more than you think you do, especially if you had
previously attended DCON or the House of Delegates. There you are able to see
bylaws or policies in action; all the procedurals that some people may find
boring or repetitive are actually specifically written out to fit an exact purpose
so that Key Club can continue running smoothly. Though that is not all that
bylaws and policies are, that is what they look like in their most recognizable
form.

and Policies Chair –

My goal for this month is to familiarize myself with the bylaws and policies
and to brainstorm ways to educate Key Clubbers about them. This way, many
more people will have a better understanding of the organization of Key Club,
which many Key Clubbers are unaware of. There will be much more to come
as my role as the Bylaws & Policies Chair develops, and I hope to have more to
report soon!

2014-2015 District Public
Relations Chair – Chelsey
Barnes
Hello Key Clubbers!
My name is Chelsey Barnes and I am your new head of the Public Relations
Committee for 2014-2015. I am so incredibly excited to make this Key Club
year a success by working and getting to know each and every one of you!
I am currently a junior at Kimberly High School and love being an active
student body member. I am involved in various activities such as Varsity golf,
National Honors Society, Badger Girls State, Soccer, and of course, Key Club!
In my school’s Key Club, we do many great events, but one of my favorites is
Top Soccer. This is where we help children with disabilities stay active by
playing soccer with them every Saturday. One thing that you should know
about me is that I have a lot of spirit and positivity. I hope to use this as an
asset to the Public Relations Committee to raise club and District passion for
service. Through the use of technology and creativity, my goal is to make
videos, posters and use online media to promote upcoming major events and
increase knowledge of what Key Club is all about! Going into this new Key Club
year, I look forward to working closely with the Director of Technologies and
the Director of Committees to advertise and publicize Kiwanis events. I also
am very excited to get to know and make memories with all of the advisers,
officers and club members! If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me!
Yours in Service,
Chelsey Barnes

2014-2015 District Public
Relations Chair – Chelsey
Barnes
Before I tell you what I'm planning on accomplishing for this month, let me
explain what the head of Public Relations does. I am in charge of raising club
spirit and I help members gain a great appreciation for Key Club. Along with
this, I inform Lieutenant Governors and general members about upcoming
events through social media. For the month of May, I am currently planning
the creation of a video for the ELIMINATE Project. This video’s goal is to have
Key Club members more informed about what the ELIMINATE Project is all
about and will cover the basis of what their mission and goals are. In this
month of May, I will also be staying in touch with the Lieutenant Governors by
calling them and chatting with them about how they plan on reaching out
towards their Division members of Key Club!

Hey there, Key Clubbers! My name is Ashlee Trotter and I will be serving as
the WIUM District Membership Development Chair for the 2014-2015 Key
Club year. Before I start to go on a rant about how amazing our District is, let
me tell you a little about myself. I am a Junior at Gladstone High School (way
up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) and am so happy to be able to say that
I have been a member of my school’s Key Club since Freshman year. Along
with this being my second year as the Gladstone Key Club President, I am also
involved in many other different clubs and organizations within my school
and community, which include tennis, bowling, Drama Club, and being
involved with my church.
You may be wondering, “What in the world does a Membership Development
Chair do??” As Membership Development Chair, I will be working to build our
district as a whole. You, the members of the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan Key
Club, are what makes us who we are. Without dedicated members who are
willing to serve their communities and the world, we would be nothing. That’s
why I will be working to gain membership in the clubs within our District.
After all, you can’t spell Key Club without “u”! :) I hope to be able to stay in
contact with all of you, whether regarding the membership of your clubs or to
get to know you in general! I can’t wait to be able to meet everyone at the
2015 District Convention, but until then don’t be afraid to contact me! I’m
here to help and would love to talk to you about all things Key Club! This is
going to be a great year!

Do you know of any schools that don't have Key Clubs, but would be a perfect
addition to our District? If so, make sure to contact me (and your Lieutenant
Governor!) so that we can get an awesome new club started at that school. Or,
are you a club officer that would like to discuss anything regarding the
membership of your club? Feel free to call or email me with anything, whether
you have questions or just want to chat! You can find my email and phone
number listed below. I hope to hear from you soon!
