Dear Division 9,

I hope everyone has had a wonderful

Thanksgiving and are all safe from

Hurricane Sandy. I know that I have you

guys to be thankful for! Please keep up

the good work guys! I see a lot of effort

coming from each of you and I am so

glad to see everyone having fun

decorating their UNICEF boxes. Your

creativity really inspires me!

We will be welcoming our new

club, Franklin Delano Roosevelt High

School, at our December Divisional!

Please remember to share the Key Club

spirit in a courteous manner and to show

them how proud of Key Club you guys

are.

Keep safe everyone, and happy

holiday!

Yours in Service,

Helen Wong

Key Club Week

This month, we celebrated Key Club week! Key Club

week is the week f November 5th to November 9th.

During Key Club week, we get to show our Key Club

pride and spirit by doing various Key Club-related

activites.

On Monday, we SHOW OUR K!

We dress up in our Key Club apparel and tell everyone

about Key Club.

Tuesday is KUDOS TO THE KEY PLAYERS!

We thank all of those that help make Key Club what it is!

On Wednesday, we CONNECT THE K’S!

Key Club is not the only branch in the Kiwanis family. We

have Builders Club, K-Kids, Circle K and Aktion Club! This

day encourages us to build familial relations.

On Thursday, we BRING A FRIEND TO KEY CLUB!

We love new members and we love the fact that you’re

spreading goodwill an encouraging service. We love it

so much, that we decided to dedicate a whole day to

it!

On Friday, YOU DECIDE!

That’s right! On Friday, you get to decide how you want

to celebrate Key Club week. .You could have a party or

a service project!

Trick or Treat for UNICEF Hey Division 9! I hope you guys had fun Trick-or Treating with this year’s new boxes!

Unlike all the previous years, this year, we decided to try something new and let

everyone decorate their own boxes! Also this year, all of the proceeds from this event

will go to Eliminate. If your club has raised over $250.00 for this cause, your club will be

eligible to receive a special patch!

With the new boxes this year, there was also a new contest. The contest has

ended but I hope everyone still had fun decorating and raising money!

Governor’s Project

For the 2012-2013 service year, Governor Daniel Ivan Lin has chosen Keys to Accessibility

for his governor’s project, Keys to Accessibility. Keys to Accessibility is all about helping

the elderly and the disabled. We plan to reach 5000 service hours by the end of this

year, We can help the elderly and the disabled by going to visit them, spending time

with them, serving them food and just making their lives a better and happier time!

This project was chosen this year because Governor Daniel does not want to

neglect the elderly. We focus much of our time on helping the present and the future,

but we have to stop and take a step back to help those we got us here in the first

place.

What’s different about this project is that it’s not the quantity that counts, it’s the

quality that counts. We are only counting hours for this project. But the clubs who

perform the most creative projects will get a special award at LTC!

Service Spotlight

This year’s Fall Rally was everything it promised to be thanks to the

hard work of everyone on the planning committee. The workshops

were both informational and entertaining. We played awkward,

giggle-inducing ice breakers and took just about a bajillion pictures

and videos. Lunch was a slice (or three) of New York’s finest pizza

and if we had some pocket money; a square of Helen and

Herman’s charity cookie brownies. Overall, the event was a success

and everyone had a jolly good time!
