Newsletters  There are three types of Newsletters: Divisional, Regional, and District.  They are used to promote upcoming events, service projects, and other useful information. As the name implies, they are letters that deliver news!  Each type should cover only the news regarding the that level of Key Club in order to avoid unnecessary repetition.

Don't complain.” -Maya Angelou What do they look like? Newsletters  Newsletters are official Key Club documents and should be made following the Graphic Standards mentioned earlier.  Sometimes you can personalize and stray from the standards, but you should try to keep it simple.  They can be made in Microsoft Word or Publisher, but should always be saved as a PDF file.  Feel free to include pictures and make it interesting instead of blocks of text.

Newsletters  The newsletter should be long enough to cover the important information, but short enough to keep the reader’s attention. Divisional Newsletters are usually a page or two. Regional Newsletters vary based on how many divisions are in your region.  Avoid putting unnecessary information.

(The exception being self-portraits.)  They should be of energetic, happy, and diverse Key Clubbers.  If possible, they should exemplify Key Club’s four core values (leadership, character building, caring, and inclusiveness).  And Clip Art is useful!
