Official Publication of the Minnesota Dakotas District of Key Club International
Fall Rally Recap
The 2010 MinnDak Fall Rally was held in
Fergus Falls, MN on November 6-7.
Highlights of the convention were a
mystery workshop led by Mary Bowen,
a pool party, and duct taping the
governor.
The mystery workshop was making ice
cream with Crazy Mary. A pool party
was held Saturday night and included
playing volleyball in the pool. Later
Saturday night "duct tape the gover-
nor took place. Christina was duct
taped to a pillar while she was stand-
ing on a chair, then
when the chair
was moved, she
was left hanging.
Money was raised
for the governor's
project, Kids
Against Hunger,
by selling pieces
of duct tape to
tape Christina. Fall Rally was definitely a
blast for those who attended.

The current service initiative
for the 2008-10 year, Live 2

sonal development and so-
cial interaction of children.
Live 2 Learn is the hands on
service element to the MEP.
Live 2 Learn focuses on
helping children, ages 5-9,

.Did you know that every
year key club international
holds an international
convention? Interested?
This year’s convention
will be held in Phoenix, AZ
June/July 2011. Trip details
are still being
worked outbut
we will most
likely travel by
plane.
Our district tour
plans include
visiting an old
western themed
ghost town, going to
a desert safari petting zoo,
and going white water rafting. It’s not too early to start thinking about attending International Convention. Hope to see you there!
International Convention

I’m sure you are all cold and chilled by the winter but don’t
worry it will get warm again. It always does. It is also not too
early to be thinking about spring convention. Everyone that is
able should attend spring convention. Not only because it is
a blast but you will gain a deeper knowledge of key club.
This year spring convention will be held in Willmar Minnesota
from March 31st to April 3rd.
It is a good idea to fundraise for this event. Some ideas are
• Bake sale
• Polar plunge
• A car smash
Ect…
These are just a few ideas and I am sure all of your clubs
have many more.
Hope to see you in Willmar at the MinnDak District Conven-
tion.
