INTRO FROM YOUR LTG

Hey there, Division 19!

Welcome to the wintry wonder of

December! Unfortunately,

alongside the impending snow

and holiday celebrations, the

activity of many clubs seems to

freeze with the weather. We,

however, cannot let this happen!

The winter is the time when

people need our help the most,

and so keep on helping others

through both fundraising and

service!

Within this issue of “Neepam’s

Newsletter,” you will find a recap

of our Generosity Rocks concert,

a flyer regarding Target: Eyesight,

and so much more!

Looking back, I can hardly

believe that there are only four

months left in this service year. As

Key Clubbers, it’s our job to make

the biggest possible impact in this

little time. I look forward to

working with all of you as we

make the coming winter a little

less cold with the warmth of our

hearts.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ELECTIONSDo you love Key Club and serving others?

Do you want to have a say in the direction our Division and District will take over the next year?

Do you want to gain amazing leadership experience?

Then consider running for Lieutenant Governor! Lieutenant Governors serve on the New Jersey District Board and help make their home divisions as strong as possible. Elections will be held on January 11th (see pg. ## for time and location). interested

candidates should contact me at least one week before, so I may go over what the position entails.

ISSUE IX, DECEMBER 2010 2

Every year, clubs the state over

look forward to the epic Awards

ceremony during the Saturday night of

DCON. But, even though only a few

clubs can win on Saturday Night, any

club has the chance to be a winner

during the Saturday Morning Awards

Ceremony! That’s right, every year,

outstanding club officers are

recognized for their hard work and

dedication to both the New Jersey

District of Key Club and to Children’s

Specialized Hospital!

Of course, you may be asking

yourself, “Am I eligible to be

distinguished?” Well, if you’ve been

doing your job as an officer, and

have attended necessary District and

Divisional events (like RTCs, OTCs, Fall

Rally, and, if you’re President, PCMs),

then you are certainly on the road to

getting distinguished! All you have to

do now is to keep up the amazing work

for the remainder of your term in office!

While with all your other activities this

may prove difficult, with proper time

management, you can do it. Good

luck and have great final few months in

office!

ISSUE IX, DECEMBER 2010 3

On Thursday, December 9, 2010, Key

Clubbers from all across Morris and Essex

Counties descended upon Parsippany High

School for the first round of the Generosity

Rocks musical competition. The show

kicked off at 7PM with a performance from

Division 19’s very own Amanda Lustbader,

and continued throughout the night, with

notable performances by fellow Division

19ers Less Than Three, The Lobaton Project,

and The Minorities.

However, while all eleven acts were

outstanding, only four could be chosen to

move on to the next round of competition.

Beatboxer Patrick Wu, Singer Katie

Reardon, and singer/acoustic guitar

players Ashli Gonzalez and Arvin Zablerio

were chosen alongside our very own The

Lobaton Project to move onto the next

round.

All in all, the night was able to raise

over $700 for CHildren’s Specialized

Hospital! Many thanks to everyone who

performed, to everyone who attended,

and to the Parsippany High School Key

Club for hosting such a wonderful event!
