The Divisional Project for Division 1N is "Kickin' It with the Kids of Division 1N" and was initiated by Lt. Governor, Aaron Simmons. Logistics: For this, clubs are encouraged to do things with/for the children in their community, whether it be by collecting items through a drive for them, or spending time reading to or just spending time with children. The reasoning behind this is to get the KEY Club name out in the public, and encourage children to join KEY Club in the future, boosting future membership in home clubs. How to Complete the Project: Each club will be required to get two hours of service per member. (It is not required that each member perform two hours of service, only that the total number of hours is equal to or greater than two times the number of paid members). Service: Clubs will receive one hour of credit per man-hour of service.(hours of credit per visit= members in attendance X hours of service) Donations: Clubs will receive one hour of credit for every $5 worth of donated goods. (No more than 40% of the required service credits may be received through donation credits) The Divisional Project for Division 1N is Socks and Slippers for Senior Citizens and was initiated by Lt. Governor, Addison Leatherman. Logistics: The collection of socks and slippers for the senior citizens in the senior home in the city of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico just across the border from Laredo, Texas. The seniors in this home have no family so they are being taken care of at the home. In the Mexican culture family is key, and families take care of their elderly. In this case of these people they have no one else. So, churches and the Mexican government have supplied this facility for them. They are now in a brand new facility very clean and well taken care of. The previous building was a bit of a shambles and no longer is used. Socks and slippers will provide the comfort and warmth that all senior citizens deserve and might not be able to obtain for themselves. Must be completed by March 1, 2010. How to Complete the Project: Basically, for my project I will ask all the clubs in my division to collect a certain number of socks and slippers to meet the requirements of my project. This is what I am aiming for: Socks = 1.5 pts./pair collected (all socks must be new) Slippers = 10pts./pair collected (slippers must be new) Requirements for Project Completion: Bronze Level clubs (35 paid members or fewer) - 300 pts. Silver Level clubs (36-60 paid members) - 500 pts. Gold Level clubs (61-85 paid members) - 700 pts. Platinum Level clubs (86 paid member or greater) - 900 pts.

I would like to help reduce the hardships diabetics face by helping contribute to its cure.
