THE LOREM IPSUMS SUMMER 2016

ICON in California! There were a lot of awesome workshops, which taught me a lot about how to be the best LTG. I

can be – and even more, there was fun!

Workshop 1: LTG At this workshop, we learned about the importance of communication within our divisions and keeping up with our monthly responsibilities. Governor Sam even assisted in this presentation! NJ was well represented. Overall, it taught all us Lieutenant Governors the importance of being informed.

Workshop 2: Rustic Pathways I could have spent my time a bit more wisely perhaps in a more relevant workshop but it’s such an interesting program! There are dozens of locations worldwide to visit, and even programs designed specifically for Key

Workshop 3: YUDA Bands After completing this school project, I promised presenter Mr. Phillip Whiting that I would help him show off YUDA Bands to the other workshop-goers. I helped him testify of how fun and beneficial this project was, and got to re-live the YUDA revolution! I hope some division 10 clubs do this project, so stay tuned at upcoming DCMs – I’ll surely mention it!

Workshop 4: Social Media It’s often hard to reach a lot of you guys and figure out how to work everything around all our schedules, so I was introduced to some really cool software and techniques to keep everyone virtually up to date! I’m going to get everyone from Division 10 signed up on a remind101 ASAP, and try to use a planning website called “whenisgood.com” to schedule meetings.

attraction, toured more touristy areas like Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and took pictures in front of the big Hollywood sign!

Then of course there was House of Delegates (HOD). This was a very significant HOD with 5 new amendments proposed and passed! The new clauses are featured below!

New Amendments Any person, not in high school or an educational

equivalent, who has performed some

distinguished public service may be elected an

honorary member of a club for a period of one

year. Honorary members shall pay no dues and shall not be entitled to any privilege of a Key

Club dues paid member.

In order to form a new district, the proposed area must include

at least 15 active Key Clubs, and at least 450 active Key

Club members.

Key Club International dues are $7.00 per club

member

All right, we all know the workshops at ICON are fun and informative, but in all realness, we were in California!

NJ is one of three or four other districts who come up early and leave late, in order to see Cali for what it really is.

We went through Anaheim on a lovely Garden walk, enjoyed the Disney theme park with a special tour of their new Cars

Membership should cover one’s tenure in high school

as stipulated by their education system. These

members should be interested in service and

qualified scholastically by school district

requirements for extracurricular activities and of good character.

Fifty cents of the dues of each member shall no

longer be deposited in the Youth Opportunities Fund to create an endowment to

fund grants to clubs and scholarships – rather, this will go towards Key Club

International’s deficit.

A Message from your LTG.

made a plan for the first meeting yet, but I expect all clubs to have hosted a meeting in September.

Furthermore, it is a requirement for me to have all of Division 10’s officers trained by October 12, the day of Fall Rally!

Speaking of this important day, how many people from your club will be coming? Start recruiting now! Tell people about how awesome it is to scream your head off for an hour in all the Key Club excitement then scream some more as you ride on roller coasters for the rest of the day!

I know it’s sometimes overwhelming, but it’s also wonderful, and I am always here for all of you!

Stay classy division 10, and good luck with the start of your school year, and continuation of this fabulous service year!

Sincerely,

Brooke Willemstyn

Hey Division 10!

Again, I just can’t express how fortunate I have been in being appointed to serve in your division. I know for a lot of you officers, it’s difficult to balance Key Club life with school responsibilities, family and social life, and other extracurricular activities, but I implore that you all persevere.

We are entering the heat of Key Club season what with Fall RTCs and Fall Rally already around the corner.

I ask that you respond to my emails, and try to work with me to schedule dates for officer training. I’m happy to come to you after school one day, or meet up at a Starbucks on a Sunday, just please let me know what works best for you.

That being said, I’m going to begin contacting advisers if officers do not respond to my emails about club visits. It is imperative that I check in on you, and it’s only for your benefit!

Now I know my home club hasn’t even

Hope you all had great summers!

Congrats to new LTG of division 1: Angela Becker! à

Our beautiful Governor Sam and the dashing LTG Jeff à
