Hi! My name is Allen Yu, and I am honored to welcome you to the 2008-2009 New York District Key Club online at NYDKC.org. This New Visitor's Guide will take you step-by-step into all the areas of the New York District's online world and will help you take full advantage of everything it has to offer. If you are new to Key Club International, I am more than confident that your Key Club adventure will be a thrilling and life-changing one. To our veteran Key Clubbers, I hope you all had a fantastic summer and I am certain you cannot wait to continue to serve your homes and communities.

The checklists below are organized by new/returning members, club officers, and faculty advisors. Once you have completed everything on your checklist, then you are on your way to making the most of the NYDKC online resources. This page will be updated from time to time, so please check the "last updated" time stamp so you won't miss any exciting news. Have fun, and best of luck on a smashing year!
