Greetings From Your Lt. Governor
Hey Key Clubbers! Congratulations on finally
making it to the summer! In case you haven’t
met me yet, I am Nicasia Beebe-Wang from
Westhampton Beach High School. I’m your Lt.
Governor for Division 1, which means that I will
represent our division (some schools on eastern
Long Island) on a district (all of New York) level.
From now until next April, I’ll be holding
divisionals and events, and will be here to offer
support and information. Be sure to join the
Facebook group to remain up to date with the
division! Although school is out, continue with
the community service! Summer is a great time
to try fundraising and other service activities. I’m
sure you all have exciting plans for these few
summer weeks, but keep Key Club a part of
them, and most of all, have fun!

Service Spotlight: ESM Key Club’s Visit To Little Flower
Jessica DeAngelis
Editor of ESM Key Club
On December 17th, ESM packed up multiple craft supplies and a
Santa suit, and headed off to Little Flower Orphanage. Wishing to
spread some Holiday cheer, our club had expected to interact
with some of the younger children of the orphanage. We also
planned to do a reindeer craft involving paper bags and googly-
eyes. Yet, once we arrived, we were shockingly put into the large
gymnasium with a bunch of teenagers who wished to play
basketball instead. While things did not go exactly as planned,
we all had a great time playing with the kids and eating pizza
afterwards. Even our Santa
got in on shooting hoops.
The teenagers at the
orphanage truly
appreciated our company
and even wished for us to
visit again some other time.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
and PROGRAMS Alex Mandriota
International projects and
Programs committee Chair
The International Projects Committee for the 2012 – 2013 service year
is up and running. The three district projects for this year are March of
Dimes, UNICEF, and The Children’s Miracle Network. This year the district is
striving for bigger and better things, therefore each key clubber must put
both feet forward in conducting as much service towards these charities as
possible to not only meet, but to surpass the district goals.
March of Dimes is an amazing organization that has a mission of
preventing premature birth, birth defects, infant mortality and improving
the overall health of all babies. Composed of many volunteers,
researchers, educators, outreach workers, and advocates, they who work
together to carry out their mission of March of Dimes through community
services, education, advocacy, and
research to save babies’ lives. The
district goal for March of Dimes is
$15,000 as well as 15,000 service hours.
UNICEF is an international organization that is even mandated by the
United Nations to advocate for the protection of Children’s rights, to help
meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities
to reach their full potential. This includes child survival
and development, providing basic education with
gender equality, providing treatment to HIV/AIDS
infected children, and to better a policy of advocacy
and partnership. The entirety of this organization is based
on

good practices and developing a relationship not only with the people they
are helping but also the volunteers and donors. The district goal for UNICEF
is $50,000 as well as 25,000 service hours.
The Children’s Miracle Network is an international organization with an
outstanding mission. Their goal is to actively supply and improve the health
care for millions of young individuals much like yourselves, all
around the world. By generating funds and awareness, the
Children’s Miracle Network is now in over 170 hospitals
nationwide. In generating not only hours of service but also
donations you are impacting young lives who are battling
every type of childhood illness and injury by giving them
health and happiness. The district goal for the Children’s
Miracle Network is $15,000 as well as 10,000 service hours.
For all three of the above charities, it is up to the mighty Key Clubbers
of the New York District to come forth and provide as much service as
possible. The service ideas are endless! Some examples of Ideas are:
walk/runs, UNICEF boxes, School-wide Penny Wars, Bake Sales, BBQs or
parties, Amazing Race style contests (with different challenges at different
locations in a central part of town), partnerships with businesses to donate
commissions, and other events such as ice skating, bowling, movie nights,
and game nights.
Yours in Service,

A Senior’s Farewell
Antonia Orol-Berlinger Immediate Past Vice President of Westhampton Beach Key Club
TEXT
Key Club is not just a club or an organization to me, but a way to live my
life. When I was first introduced to Key Club it was because some friends
told me to go and I had wanted to join another club. Little did I know I
was entering one of the most fantastic international organizations out
there. Key Club showed me how powerful giving back can be, and
how even one person can make a huge difference in the world. It
taught me to stand up for things I believe in, and to always work
towards my goals. It introduced me to friends from all over the state and
even now, as I am preparing to go to college, it allows me to make
connections to other Key Clubbers who are also attending my school
next year. The people you meet in Key Club are some of the most
driven, friendly and caring people out there, and the good that is done
by all the Key Clubbers out there is immeasurable. During my final
Leadership Training Conference, all I could think about was how
amazing my three years in Key Club had been, and how much I would
miss it. If there is one thing I learned from Key Club, though, it’s that you
can always give back, and so I will. Maybe I will even start a Circle K
chapter at my school. Where ever I go and whatever I do, Key Club will
always be in my heart and in my memories. Thank you mighty New York
District, and thank you KCI, for changing my life in so many ways.
