ABOUT THE
SONG
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working
every day and night That’s how a superhero
learns to fly Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power”
“Superheroes” by The Script
The beginning of the New Year is always fun, but sometimes it can the beginning of a boatload of stress. It’s normal, but most definitely…NOT fun. So one thing I was always told was to work through it…all while putting your best foot forward. When times get tough, just take a deep breath and work through it. Like the lyrics say, “That’s how a superhero learns how to fly.”. The harder you work to get through something, the easier it’ll become and the better person you will be.
Hello Division 2!
As the second half of the service year comes
around, the New Jersey District of Key Club
International is promoting our advocacy focus—
Hunger in the United States—even more! As a fresh
start for the second half of the service year, the
District Programs committee decided to support the
organization Hunger Is, at HungerIs.org. Hunger Is
works to end child hunger in the world through
service, monetary donations, and educating people.
Hungeris.org is a fantastic website that helps
you get involved in the fight against hunger in several
different ways. The website has a “Get Involved” tab
on their home page, which allows you to either
donate time or money. To donate your time, you can
type in your zip code in the “search” bar and a
variety of service opportunities in your area is
displayed.
This organization will give your clubs more
freedom in how you would like to support the New
Jersey District’s advocacy focus: Hunger in the United
States. Happy volunteering!
Sincerely,
The District Programs Committee

When Alex set up her first lemonade stand at
age four, little did she know that the world would change
forever. Alex was diagnosed with cancer right before her
first birthday. When she was four, with the help of her
brother, she set up her first lemonade stand. Despite
having a life threatening disease, Alex never stopped
thinking of others. Not only did she hold lemonade stands
annually until cancer took her life at age eight, she also
inspired many people to do the same. Wishing to continue
her legacy, her parents set up the Alex’s Lemonade Stand
Foundation. This foundation has continued what Alex
started: it has raised money and awareness of childhood
cancer causes—especially research into new treatments
and cures—and encouraged and empowered others,
especially children, to get involved and make a
difference for children with cancer. Since 2000, Alex’s
Lemonade Stand has raised more than $80 million dollars
to fight childhood cancer.
How can my club help this incredible
organization? Hold an Alex’s Lemonade Stand at your
school! Get it approved for the spring or summer. When
the time comes, set up in the sun and see how much your
club can raise to help end childhood cancer. Alex’s
Lemonade Stand also takes donations. Please contact
your lieutenant governor with any questions on Alex’s
Lemonade Stand or visit www.alexslemonade.org.
