REVISED KCHS KEY CLUB MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES

– EFFECTIVE FALL 2008 –

 

The membership requirements of Key Club are that you 1) participate in our service projects, 2) attend meetings each month, and 3) pay your dues.  You should expect to spend at least three hours per month at a Key Club sponsored project as well as participate in fundraisers for our Club.  Active members should serve on a committee and attend social functions as well.  In order to attend District Convention, be an officer, or letter in Key Club, you must do more than the minimum each month.

 

The points system is how we track your participation to ensure that everyone maintains an active role in Key Club; the rest of this page will teach you about how you can gain (and lose) points.  Note: The points system is still a work in progress and is subject to change without written notice.
