Division 14 August Newsletter

Hi everyone, Hope you’re soaking up the last of the sunshine before school starts! Enjoy the last few days as we get ready to go back to school! As the last days of summer slip away, so does everyone’s free time. So, officers, if you are still untrained (Chatham, Madison, and Summit) then please contact me via Facebook, call, etc. as soon as possible! I’m sure that neither of us wants the hassle of trying to schedule an OTC when school starts. For those who came to the divisional meeting, I hope you had a great time getting to know everyone! For those who couldn’t make it, I hope you can come to the next divisional event. Speaking of which, our current divisional event is CSH ribbon sales! Each club who attended the Aug 14th meeting received ribbons to take back to school and sell. You can sell them for $1 or with a cupcake or whatever

other way you prefer (see Pg 5)! Please send all money to me by mail or have your president bring them to me at the mid-September PCM. Feel free to make more ribbons and have fun selling! Another to keep in mind as the summer homework dawns on us: CMRFs are due 10th of each month! Secretaries, please be reminded that these are part of your service agreement. I completely understand that the start of school will overwhelm a lot of people, so please try to plan ahead and submit CMRFs ahead of time! That’s it for now and I hope you had fun this summer! Please feel free to contact me at anytime.

LTG Update

On Saturday August 14th, I held Division 14 Meeting in the Chatham United Methodist Church. The agenda included speeches by the NJDB and icebreakers!

To loosen things up, we first held an icebreaker call the Color Jacuzzi. Everyone got to feel more comfortable around each other. If you couldn’t make it, wait until next meeting to experience this fun icebreaker!

We began with a briefing on the KCI hierarchy and an explanation on the importance of keeping in touch with club both advisors from Governor Rachel Orbach. She also publicized this year’s DCON (April 8-10), but she hopes to see everyone much sooner: at RTCs!

Next, Editor Nicole Darrah talked about her Jersey Key and the new Advice Column. Submissions of service project recaps, artwork, and writing are all welcome. There is also a new section: Outstanding Advisor/Member this year. Please email me anything you would like and I will gladly pass it on!

LTG Neepam spoke next, promoting the Public Relations Committee. He is committed to publicizing Fall Rally and RTCs as much as possible. So, please check out Pg 3 and 4 of this newsletter for the dates. LTG Neepam also organized a quick icebreaker during the break.

LTG Jared spoke next about the International Programs Committee,

covering everything from the Service Partners to Key Leader to the new cookbook. Enjoy your new service recipes and I hope you can put them to use this year!

Lastly, we ended the meeting with a ribbon –making contest in which we made 144 ribbons in 4 min! Ribbons will be sold for $1 each and all funds will go to CSH.

I would like to thank the Chatham Kiwanis for helping me with the location and providing the food! In addition, great job to the host club: Chatham Key Club, especially Gianna Strand for helping me throughout the meeting.

Public Relations By Editor Nicole Darrah & LTG Brian Cheung

The Public Relations Committee was formerly known as the District Relations Committee… until it was changed back in the 2009-2010 service year. The general idea of this committee is simple: Publicize + Build + Inform = Public Relations. Throughout the service year, this committee is assigned to create PowerPoints and videos, contact

the local media, write articles, create brochures, and to overall publicize Key Club and its work in any way possible. We cannot do what we do without YOU, the members of this organization! It takes work on our part, but it’s a very simple thing for you to do. Why do you love Key Club? What makes Key Club so great? What does Key Club give to you? Instead of answering these questions in your head, answer them by telling your

friends! By letting your friends know all about the wonderful thing that is Key Club, you are doing exactly what this committee entails: publicizing! If you have any questions or comments about the Public Relations Committee, contact co-chairs Nicole Darrah ([email protected]) or Brian Cheung ([email protected])!

Sell ribbons for $1. Tryout out different ideas! Sell them with a

cupcake, brownie, etc.

Make more ribbons! All clubs (including those who didn’t attend the

divisional meeting) should have sold some by the September PCM.

Ribbon formula: safety pins + cut ribbons = CSH ribbons!

Contact local or chain restaurants to find out about their policies for

Restaurant Nights or Dine to Donate

Ask for available dates from Oct 30th to Nov 7th, then let me know by

October 1st!

Find 1 or 2 acts for Generosity Rocks concert. Each act

must have at least one high school performer. The act can be

anything related to music from singing to playing in a band.
