Introduction
Hello Division 7!
The time has come to update you all
with my newsletter! I hope this
newsletter finds you in good spirits! In
my next newsletter, I want to include a
section with pictures and news about
what events different Division 7 schools
are doing! Please send me pictures and
a little summary about a recent event
your club organized before June 10th if
you wish to be featured in the next
publication of The Suddeth Scoop! In
other news, this newsletter I want to use
to explain the basics of Key Club along
with other important information to share
to your clubs!

Key Club 411
Key Club International is filled with many terms, it is sometimes
hard to keep them straight! I would like to use these pages to go
over some Key ones.
District Project: The NJ District has once again chosen The
Eliminate Project which immunizes mothers and their future
children from MNT.
Major Emphasis: Major Emphasis is a Key Club International
focus that is based on the idea of helping children. Its slogan is
“Children: Their Future, Our Focus.”
Advocacy Focus: Advocacy is speaking on behalf of those who
cannot speak for themselves.The New Jersey District Board has
chosen hunger in the United States as its advocacy focus for this
service year. This campaign aims to conduct service projects
rather than fundraising.
Service Partners: Or preferred charities, our service partners
are Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, UNICEF, and March of
Dimes. Clubs are recommended to volunteer and fundraise for
these charities.
DCON: District Convention (DCON) is where about 600 Key
Clubbers from NJ gather at Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch
NJ to celebrate a successful service year with many awards and
to kick off an even better service year with contests, the election
of the new district executive board and more! This event is also
full of sessions and informational workshops! Did I mention it is
right on the beach? It is the must go to event of the year.
DCM: DCMs are Divisional Council Meetings. At these,
Lieutenant Governors meet with their clubs to update them about
divisional and district events, and other important information. It
is open to all members in the division however each club in the
division must be represented by at least one member.
OTC: Or Officer Training Conference is when the Lieutenant
Governor trains officers in the division.
RTC: Regional Training Conferences are biannual training
conferences with workshops and fun that are held twice in the
spring and 3 times in the fall. In order to be distinguished, officers
must attend at least one.
CMRF: Club Monthly Report Forms is a report form due the 10th
of each month that is used to see how clubs are doing. They are
very important.
Fall Rally: Fall Rally is the largest gathering of Key Clubbers to
motivate them for a great service year at Six Flags that includes
a day at Six Flags after the session!

Salutations Key Clubbers!
This year, the New Jersey District has once again chosen the Eliminate
Project
as the District Project!
The Eliminate Project is a global effort to eradicate maternal and neonatal
tetanus, a life-threatening disease that takes the life of one baby every 9
minutes, from this world. A baby that is infected with tetanus only lives
between 3 and 7 days, dying after suffering excruciating pain and
sensitivity to
light and touch.
In 2010, Kiwanis International teamed up with the Eliminate Project to help
in the effort to rid the world of tetanus. With 25 countries remaining still
afflicted with the disease, and one more year left in the Eliminate Project
campaign, Kiwanis and Key Club International are making their best
efforts
to help the Project reach its goal.
Words From The District Project
Committee
This year, the New Jersey District of Key Club has set a fundraising goal of:
$109,325.15, representing the following:
• 10: For 2010, the year Kiwanis and the Eliminate Project joined forces
to eradicate tetanus.
• 9: For the one baby that dies of tetanus every 9 minutes.
• 3: For the series of 3 vaccinations needed to immunize a mother and
her future babies.
• 25: For the 25 countries that remain affected by MNT
• 15: For 2015, the year the Eliminate Project campaign ends.
The only way to achieve this goal is with the help of all of you! Do what you
can to benefit the Eliminate Project. Throw some of your biggest events yet,
like sports tournaments, pie-eating contests, or Penny Wars; even small
projects, like bake sales and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF are all great ways to
benefit the Eliminate Project. Every donation matters! To find more
information on fundraising ideas, visit keyclub.org.
Happy fundraising!

RTC Recap
The Suddeth Scoop | May 2014 | Volume 1, Issue 1 | Page 8
Spring RTCs proved to be a success at
Roxbury High School on May 4th and Cedar
Creek High School on May 10th. Each day was
filled with an informative opening session
presented by the district board about Eliminate,
Advocacy along with other district events. We
then went to sessions each with a little Greek
twist ranging from How To Get Citizens To
Your Toga Party to Bringing In The Drachmas.
The day concluded with a raffle where
Southern’s Kailey Bertelson and Christine
Suddeth each came home with a Key Club
prize. Overall, Spring RTCs were full of fun and
learning for all! Missed it? Fear not! The Fall
South RTC will be on September 13th and the
Central Fall RTC will be on September 14th!
