What is the Capital District of Key Club International?
The Capital District has a rich history and is a staple within Key Club International. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia comprise the district, accounting for the fourth largest district in all of Key Club International. As of September 2012, the Capital District includes 15,700 members and 256 clubs. Each of these clubs falls within one of the 32 divisions, in which each division is represented by a Lieutenant Governor.
Capital District’s first organized Key Club was Andrew Lewis High School in Roanoke, Virginia, chartered on April 11, 1946. However, the oldest active Key Club is Abingdon High School in Abingdon, Virginia. This club was chartered on October 19, 1946 and has since been an active club in the district.
In February, 2011, the Capital District Board recently ratified the adoption of the crab as the district’s official mascot, better aligning itself with the Capital District Kiwanis Family.
