Fall Rally 2025 - Recap
Fall Rally 2025 was absolutely unforgettable! Members from across North and South Carolina came together at Carowinds for a day full of fun, learning, and connection. With nearly 900 Carolinas District Key Clubbers in attendance, the energy was incredible!
Attendees enjoyed engaging booths, inspiring guest speakers, and thrilling rollercoasters, all while celebrating the spirit of service and leadership that makes Key Club so special. From start to finish, it was a day filled with laughter, learning, and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to all who attended!
New Club officer Information Needed!
Message from your District Secretary
Dear Carolinas Key Clubs,
As your club officers get elected, it is imperative that we have as up-to-date contact information as possible. In order to ensure that we are able to share information with as many members as possible, we need your help. If your club held 2025-2026 club officer elections prior to schools being let out, please complete and submit this form: http://www.carolinaskeyclub.org/officerinfo. If you have not yet elected new officers, do not fret! We understand that towards the end of the school year, a lot of exciting events are occurring. However, we do encourage that you hold club elections as soon as possible. If your club elections will not be held before the 2025-2026 school year comes to a close, please attempt to give your lieutenant Governor an estimate of when you plan to hold elections and be sure to fill out the form as soon as possible! We are looking forward to working with you this year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at: secretary2526@carolinaskeyclub.org.
Yours in Service,
Annalise
Key Club Dues & Kiwanis Engage
All members of Key Club International are required to pay annual dues in order to remain active. For clubs in the Carolinas District, the total dues amount is $16.50 per member:
$10.00 goes to Key Club International
$6.50 stays within the Carolinas District to support district programs and events
These dues are submitted through your club advisor, who is responsible for updating your club’s roster and submitting payments using Kiwanis Engage—the new online platform that has replaced the old Membership Update Center (MUC).
Dues Deadlines:
Early Bird Deadline: November 1
Final Deadline: December 1
Absolute Deadline: February 1
Clubs that do not submit dues by February 1 risk suspension or even loss of their charter.
More detailed information, including instructions for logging into Kiwanis Engage and submitting dues, can be found on the Carolinas District website under Resources > Dues.
Trouble With the Transition? Here’s What You Need to Know
Kiwanis International recently launched Kiwanis Engage as the new system for dues submission and roster management. While this new platform will ultimately offer better functionality and a modernized experience, the transition has come with some challenges.
What’s Been Happening:
Many users have reported login issues when trying to access the Engage platform for the first time.
All advisors must use the "Forgot Password" feature the first time they attempt to log in. If you don’t receive a reset email, contact Member Services at memberservices@kiwanis.org to have your email properly linked.
There have been ongoing technical issues with Engage, and some features like adding new members may not be fully functional until mid-to-late September.
If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out to:
District Treasurer Ella Toler – treasurer2526@carolinaskeyclub.org
District Administrator J. Scott Johnson – jscottjohnson@carolinaskeyclub.org
