ICON The New Jersey District had an amazing time in sunny California! We took a tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood and had a blast in Disney. That was not the only fun we had at the 2014 International Convention. Districts from all different places attended thrilling sessions and informational workshops. The 2014-2015 International Board was elected and put into officer for another amazing service year!

The Kiwanis Family Picnic was a fun filled day with all branches of the K Family. The day started with cleaning up the beaches and making coloring books for children a part of the Ronald McDonald House. There was then a sand castle contest followed by volleyball, twister and a balloon toss. I encourage every single one of you to attend the K Family Picnic next year and you will not regret it!

DPS Co-Chairpersons Lieutenant Governor of Division 20 Aleena Kazmi Lieutenant Governor of Division 11 Farwa Shakeel Salutations, New Jersey District! Summer is rapidly approaching! The warmer weather offers time to relax, hang out with friends, and enjoy the beach! Summer, though, is also a great time to host some fundraising projects! The District Project Steering Committee has compiled this list of easy projects to try this summer:

• Rummage Sale- Team up with your Sponsoring Kiwanis for this one! Find a local park or open space in your area. Make sure to make a reservation for that space if need be. Ask your members to donate anything they don’t want anymore, as long as the items are still in good condition. Ask members of your Sponsoring Kiwanis to donate as well, and invite them to help sell. Make sure to ask around for tables- you can ask members of your club or your Sponsoring Kiwanis, or even your school. Have the donations dropped off at a certain time, date, and location a week before the sale. On the day of, sell everything for a reasonable price If it’s a hot day, it might be a good idea to pick up some drinks and sell those for a profit, too!

• Lemonade Stand- This might sound cliche, but it is certainly worth a try! Grab some friends, squeeze some lemons, and set up a stand in your neighborhood- you’re sure to get some funds! You can even set up a stall at a local carnival or Fourth-of-July Festival!

• Book Drive Fundraiser- Have club members donate used books, still in good condition. Set up a time and location for the drop-off. Then, have an outdoor book fundraiser in your local park, with members helping to sell- you should also team up with your Sponsoring Kiwanis Club, if possible. Have some drinks on hand and sell those for a profit too, especially if it’s a hot day. Sell both for reasonable prices.

• Bake Sales- You can never go wrong with baked goods! Have members bake some goods or invite a bunch of friends at your house and start baking. You can sell all the baked goods in your neighborhood, local carnival, or Fourth of July Festival!

We hope these tips keep your club active and involved this summer! Remember, with every fundraising project, we get closer to our goal of eliminating tetanus from the face of the earth! Enjoy the summer, New Jersey District!
