16. As a Recognizer
Both giving and receiving recognition are positive experiences!
Try to connect on personal level
As simple as saying “Good luck!” or “Thank you!
Members make Key Club what it is today, so take time to appreciate them!

17. As a Key Clubber Your actions should positively influence others
YOU are an inspiration to someone
YOU are someone’s friend and support
The service you do makes the world a better place
Whether you are a member or leader in this organization, every single thing YOU do for Key Club is IMPORTANT!

18. Take Away
“One should not work for recognition but rather, do work worthy of it”
Recognition should be a part of your clubs program. You should think about doing recognition often- as it is year round. Remember, something that may seem simple to you can mean a lot to someone else.
