ELIMINATHON The Division 18 & 19 ELIMINATHON was a huge success! It was hosted by the Livingston High School Key Club on December 13th. Seven teams came out and participated in the volleyball tournament. The winners of the tournament are from West Essex High School. The team name is Team Tru. This was a fundraiser for the ELIMINATE Project and we successfully raised $493.00 for ELIMINATE.

The New Jersey District of Key Club is looking for a new set of capable student leaders for the 2015-2016 New Jersey District Board. Key Club in itself is a student-led organization in which the District Board, made up of high school student like you, oversees all club affairs. We organize District Events such as Fall Rally and District Convention and form a support system for over 13,000 Key Clubbers in New Jersey. Our District Officers are very passionate about Key Club and work diligently to make sure that the New Jersey District and all its clubs keeps growing stronger. As District Officers, our goal as leaders is to teach others to be leaders, and that is what you will have to do if you are elected to the District Board. There are two categories of District Officers: Lieutenant Governors and District Executives. Lieutenant Governors are regional liaisons to the District and are elected by the student officers in their respective divisions. Their job is to update individual clubs on District affairs and provide support to struggling clubs. District Executives such as the District Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Editor serve the entire state of New Jersey to oversee the Lieutenant Governors and the 144 Key Clubs. Because of the great responsibility of these positions, District Executives are elected into office at by members at District Convention. Each of these positions requires great leadership and communication skills, and the time and travel commitments are extensive. However, if you are willing to put in the work, the experience can be extremely rewarding. If you are an underclassman and want to become a District Officer for the 2015-16 Service Year, you must be elected into office by your peers. Lieutenant Governors are elected in a divisional election by local officers. District Executives must campaign at District Convention and be elected by our New Jersey House of Delegates. All Lieutenant Governor Elects and District Executive Candidates must attend a special training conference to learn about their positions. If you are interested, contact your Lieutenant Governor for more information, and check out the Official Elections Packet. Best of luck in your campaign!

Happy Holidays, New Jersey District! Besides breaking out your best holiday sweaters or mixing up some hot chocolate to get into the holiday spirit, you can also do some fun holiday fundraising! Who wouldn’t love some warm sugar cookies before holiday break starts? Bake sales are always a great way to make some profit, any time of the year! Ask your members to bake some of their favorite holiday treats this year. Advertise the bake sale all over your school and encourage members to help sell, too! Another great holiday fundraiser is a candy-gram fundraiser! Sell candy canes with a message for $1. Deliver them a few days before holiday break, and you’ve got a sure-fire way to make some decent profit. You can even do a small candy-cane fundraiser! Luckily, some stores sell blue candy canes, which are perfect for a Key Club fundraiser! You can dress up the candy canes with ribbon, or even tie a piece of string with a message attached to them. This is a great way to show off your creativity and make some money for the Eliminate Project, all at the same time. The District Project Steering asks all of you to make your best effort to do some holiday fundraising this service year, keeping in mind the mothers and children that may never see a holiday season of their own. Yours in Caring and Service, District Project Steering Committee Co-Chairpersons LtG. Division 20 Aleena Kazmi LtG. Division 11 Farwa Shakeel

Saturday Morning Awards Committee Article Ever wonder about what the Saturday Morning Awards Committee does? Well, wonder no more! This committee is in charge of making sure awards are given to club officers distinguished for their hard work and dedication towards service during the 2014-2015 service year. At DCON, Distinguished Club Officer awards, 100% CMRF, Early Bird, and Big Ten awards are all distributed to clubs that meet a specific criterion. Distinguished officers are based on certain standards developed specifically for each position; the final results are determined based on the performance of each officer throughout their entire service year. The 100% CMRF award, a new award, is given to clubs that submit their CMRFs either early or on time consistently throughout the service year. Early Bird Awards are given to clubs that have paid their dues by November 1st. Finally, Big Ten Awards are given to clubs that increased their membership by 10% since the last service year. If you and your club meet the criteria to receive any of the awards mentioned above, great job! Continue to spread service at your home, school and community, and be proud of yourselves for your accomplishments. If you have any questions or wish to seek more information regarding the Saturday Morning Awards Committee, feel free to contact your Lieutenant Governor or Committee Chair Aleena Kazmi at [email protected].

Graduating seniors can continue to be a part of the K-Family!

Circle K is a service
organization like Key
Club, but it is in college
instead of high school.
Just because you are
graduating from high
school does not mean
that you have to let go
of the Kiwanis Family.
In New Jersey there
2
are 13 Colleges that
have Circle K, and
there are 515 colleges
that have Circle K

and make one at that
3
school. Around the
world there are 8,625

Salutations, New Jersey District Key Clubbers!!
Although it may seem like the service year just began, it is quickly coming to a close! For many of you, this year will be the last for your Key Club career. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to be rewarded for your dedication to Key Club! Each year, the New Jersey District grants 14 different scholarships, each ranging between $1,000-$2,000. All information is located in the scholarship packet. You can ask your Lieutenant Governor for a packet, but here is a quick breakdown of what you need to include in your application:
• A two page essay detailing your favorite Key Club service project. • Two letters of recommendation from adults who are familiar with your service, neither of
which can be a relative. • Advisor verification of your service, especially if you must approximate your number of
hours/points, in the case that your club does not record hours/points • Brief description of all your service, inside and outside of Key Club, and your greatest
achievement outside of Key Club. All scholarship applications must be postmarked by February 20th, 2015. Any application not postmarked by this date will not be considered. Scholarship recipients will be announced at District Convention! I look forward to reading about your favorite service projects! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Yours in Caring and Service, Farwa Shakeel
