The 64th Annual District Convention of the New Jersey District of Key Club International was overflowing with dedicated Key Clubbers all gathering together to travel the world of service from one Service Year to another! From awesome sessions with the 2009-2010 NJ District Board to two amazing dances, there was never a dull moment at the Valley Forge Convention Center for DCON! We arrived on Friday ready to begin our journey through the world of service. Almost 700 Key Clubbers and I had the distinct honor of meeting our Keynote Speaker Kiwanis International President Paul Palazzolo. It was amazing to see such a high ranking and wise Kiwanian in person. After the welcoming session we all went to caucuses to hear the candidates’ speeches. Each candidate was very creative and excited to be running for an Executive Board position! Saturday was by far the busiest day of the weekend. We woke up early for breakfast and then attended the first general session of the day. After this quick session we headed to our workshops and learned about everything from how to be an effective club editor to how to belly dance. After the workshops were a few free hours in which the talent show took place. The acts were inspired as they are every year; the amount of talented Key Clubbers is amazing!

Also on Saturday, the House of Delegates met to vote on Executive Board races, amendments, and resolutions. On Saturday evening, the contests winners were given their trophies and the outstanding members of the New Jersey District were acknowledged for their hard work and dedication. On Sunday, there was a walk to benefit Children’s Specialized Hospital hosted by our own Brick Memorial High School. The Farewell Session on Sunday is both sad and happy simultaneously; sad because it is the time when the current district board is retired, but happy because it is also the time when the new district board is installed.

That’s right, Division 11, the
summer is right around the corner!
And with the summer comes Key
Club’s annual International
Convention, this time in the historic
Memphis, Tennessee! This year, Key
Club International has put together
an amazing Convention, and the
District is planning yet another tour
to go along with it!
ICON is a one week
convention that drew over 1500 Key
Club members, advisors, and
administrators last year. During your
time in Memphis, you’ll have the
opportunity to meet new people,
share Key Club Experiences, and
leave with a new best friend. You’ll
also get a taste of the various
caucuses, workshops, elections, and
delegations that make Key Club
successful and make you a better
Key Clubber.
The New Jersey District will travel to
Memphis by bus, leaving New
Jersey on the morning of July 4th,
and returning on the evening of
July 12th. On the road to ICON, we
will stop at many points of interest,
including Cedar Point Amusement
Park in Sandusky, Ohio, Graceland,
and the Civil Rights Museum. At
ICON, the festivities begin with a
private concert by Ohio pop-rock
superstars Relient K, and continue
with appearances by such
celebrities as Clay Aiken and Josh
Hutcherson!
It will truly be a week to remember.
Anyone interested in attending,
please contact me ASAP for more
information (including a primer and
registration form), as the first
payment is due by May 15th. If
money is an issue, feel free to ask
your Kiwanis Club to help you out
with the costs. They would be glad
to help!

SERVICE LEADERSHIP
Regional Training
Conferences
The first important step to begin a successful service year begins with being trained. All newly elected officers are required to attend Regional Training Conferences (RTCs) in order to attend sessions which will help better their leadership roles and clarify their duties in their club. We hope to also have your Advisors join us, for a workshop/meeting with Mr. Barrie Werfel, the NJ District Administrator. Also, remember that RTCs are open to general members!
Here, at RTCs, you will have the experience to meet the New Jersey District Board and attend workshops which will help you have a better understanding of your position as well as workshops that will help spice up your meetings, stir some new ideas for projects, and a great opportunity to meet new Key Clubbers!
This year’s RTC theme is “Rock Out with Service!” At the RTCs, you will learn how to amplify your service year, become a rockin’ leader, and let your voices be heard!
