Hello my fellow Chipmunks!

Not only have the most recent months brought some of the craziest weather but also some of the greatest needs and greatest achievements ever seen. In these cold months I noticed something. There are people still out there in the cold, wondering where their next meal will be, if they will have a bed this night, if they can survive the cold for the next few hours and most of all, will any one take notice.

This lead me to think of just how lucky we all are here. The simple ability to read this magazine means that you have a computer, a place to sit for more than a few minutes and at least some money. During this season it is time to give back. Right now there is a huge push across all of key club international to raise 1,000,000 dollars by December 31st for The Eliminate Project, many of you know this push as Trick or treat for UNICEF. Right now is the very best time to send in money. If we reach that million dollars just imagine what kind of image that protrudes to the rest of the world. Key club has the power to do this, but first, you have to comply.

The final event coming up soon deals with a very exciting topic! Lieutenant Governor Elections are going to be January 18th at the Eugene First United Methodist Church. This is your chance to lead the division! You will be seeing more and more information on that in the upcoming weeks, but if you are a sophomore or junior, and want to take my job., send me a message through Gmail or Facebook and we can start going through the procedure.

These next few months are incredibly important, don't let the flame of service inside you be put out.

In love and caring service,

Ben Scranage

I have recently attained the position of Service Leadership Programs Subcommittee Member for The Eliminate

What Gary and I would like

from you

As you have previously heard, the plan for

a new award embracing a partnership

between a Kiwanis club and their SLP has

been put forth

Gary and I have been working on the

details and the general idea is show unity

between the clubs and their slp

More details will come soon, but if you

have any ideas for a catchy title make sure to

send Gary or me an email back!

TOT for UNICEF is doing well with a 10% rise

in revenue obtained during the month of

November

The battle is not over yet. We need your

help to make sure your districts and clubs

know that the hard deadline for TOT funds is

December 31st

We would first of all like to support you if

you have questions about how the project is

doing or where to find resources.

Help to publicize the Facebook, Twitter,

and other social media sites of The Eliminate

Project.

Most of all, help us help you. If there is a

project that needs publicized, or a club that

needs heralded for great landmarks that they

make for The Eliminate Project, be in contact!

Keep promotion of the Project up

throughout the cold winter months. As the

wallets come out and the purses open up the

season of giving is upon us, so make sure to

take advantage of it!

The #imrisingup Campaign was set out

to raise social awareness with a sign that

showed why people were standing up

against slavery. When children are being

taken by the thousands for sex we all have

reason to fight back. This was a way to reach

out to people on an emotional stance,

because we all do have a reason to battle

this horrible occurrence.

If you would like to join the campaign

simply #imrisingup and give a reason then

tag @theredforce after it for a chance to be

featured on Redlight Traffic’s Facebook

page and Instagram.

There are 20 to

30 million slaves

in the world

today.

The average age a teen

enters the sex trade in the

U.S. is 12 to 14-year-old.

Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are

trafficked into the U.S. each year.

Over 71% of trafficked children

show suicidal tendencies.

Human trafficking is a global

phenomenon that is fueled by poverty

and gender discrimination.

Globally, the

average cost of

a slave is $90.

Human trafficking

is the second-

largest organized

crime in the

world.

“Redlight Traffic” is

phone.

When big names are talking about

something things start to happen. Hosted by the

famous Matt Lemon from CNN News and

featuring the beautiful Demi Lovato. Other

famous names include Bruno Gunn from the new

Catching fire and even the famous Britt Logan.

All of these celebrities and rich people

alike were there for the sole purpose of fighting

what they believe to be a viable disaster. Now that

they gave of their time the media has started to

take notice. With Demi Lovato as RT’s main

celebrity sponsor many have taken the same

pledge that she did, to be a force against evil.
