ICON Recap From July 1st to July 7th, the New Jersey district traveled to Washington
D.C. to attend International Convention. Key Clubbers from all around the
world attended ICON. New Jersey won several awards at this convention as
a result of the year around effort of each Key Club including those in our
own division! In fact, division 10’s very own Pearl Subramanian and Kavya
Udupa attended Icon. This is what Pearl had to say:
“ICON was a great experience because it allowed me to see how big of an impact key club
makes not only locally but globally. It was a lot of fun meeting new Key clubbers and spending a
week in DC. I'm glad I went because i learned a lot of new things about Key Club! I cant wait for
Anaheim 2014! “
At ICON, the international board was elected. Raeford Penny was elected
International president, Rachel Benoit was elected International Vice Presi-
dent, and 11 International trustees were elected.

District Governor’s Project
Hello NJ District,
With each passing service year, the newly elected District Governor is requested to select
an initiative that they would like to take on for the service year. This initiative is then pre-
sented to the New Jersey district as a whole, in hopes of garnering support for the cause.
In past years, the Governor’s Project has benefited things from our fundraising goal, ELIMI-
NATE, to "Tools for schools" that we still do to this day .
After reflecting on my past four years as a member of the Kiwanis Family, I've decided to
make this year’s governor’s project something that can bring this district back to its roots.
Something that will not only get our hands dirty, but do it alongside those in our family. I
have decided to join NJ Circle-K in Governor Shivam's effort to bring together our K- Family
with K-Family Service!
What do I mean by that exactly? In addition to Key Club, there also exists a variety
of Kiwanis Clubs (adult volunteers), Circle K (College students), Builders Clubs (middle
school students), K-Kids Clubs (elementary kids), and Aktion Clubs (adults with disabilities)
spread across the state, who all make it their lifelong goal to give back to the world. My
hope is for us as a district to take the first initiative in reaching out to each and everyone
of these organizations, potentially planning some fun inter-club activities in the process!
Now what does this initiative entail exactly? If you happen to be from a Key Club that
knows its neighboring Kiwanis or other K-Family clubs, try holding a project with them! Or,
perhaps offer assisting them with one of their already standing projects? Heck, you can
even invite them to one of your own! The whole purpose this year’s Governor’s Project is to
get our entire New Jersey Kiwanis family to start recognizing each other more prominently.

Staying Active
In the Summer
Summer is a great time to start thinking about goals and projects for
the upcoming service year. However, there are many projects or
fundraisers that you can organize during summer!
Some ideas include:
Beach clean-up
Park clean-up
Start/work in a com-munity garden
Car wash
Ice cream eating contest
BBQ Social
Olympics/Festival/ Carnival
Staying active in the summer reminds members of they’re purpose as a Key
Clubber and even entices new members!

International Trustee
Each International Trustee that was elected at ICON is assigned three districts
based on the needs of the districts and the goals of the trustees. For the
2013-2014 service year, New Jersey’s International Trustee is Madison Kemkar
from the Indian District! She is also assigned Wisconsin - Upper Michigan, and
Nebraska - Iowa, our sister districts! Madison is our representative to Key Club
international, and will be visiting New Jersey few times throughout the ser-
vice year.
