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, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia comprise the district, accounting for the fourth largest district in all of Key Club International. As of 2022, the Capital District includes more than 11,000 members and 200 clubs. Each of these clubs falls within one of the 37 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 ratified the adoption of the crab as the district’s official mascot, better aligning itself with the Capital District Kiwanis Family.
In March 2022, the prior West Virginia District merged into the Capital District as it is now.
