Letter From Your Editor
Dear Key Club Members,
I hope everyone is staying cool in this heat! Thanks to everyone who
attended Miles for Mom and the K-Family Picnic. I know it must have been
tough to leave your house of air condition and coolness so thanks a lot guys! I
hope everyone made great connections and new friends. Stay tuned for more
events in August (Page 14)! Summer is coming to an end but not Key Club
events.
On another note, did everyone receive the email regarding the Key Club
Member Information Sheet (MIS)? Please print the pages and fill them out. It is
very important that you hand this form in with your dues in September or

questions! We are always here to help.
Articles, articles, where art thou articles? Please submit me articles! Write
about the event you went to, who was there, what you liked, what you didn’t

how you, the members felt about the event and we want to feature you guys
in our newsletters! So please, feel free to
send me articles at [email protected] .
Remember, an article looks best with a
picture!

K– Family Picnic—July 17, 2011
Tech volunteer Amanda Liu
JULY Miles for Moms—July 17, 2011
A few days before the K Family Picnic, I
hadn’t planned on going because the trip
to and from there would have taken me
about 4 hours on the train. However, our Key
Club president Jim and our district editor
Amber convinced me to go. I was glad that
I went! When I arrived at the picnic, I met
other members of Key Club from different
schools and members of Circle K. We played
a few games and at the end there was even
a water balloon fight! From filling up the
water balloons to seeing all of the water
balloons disappear in minutes, it felt amazing
to see how quickly we all became friends
through this picnic and in the end, it was
worth the long train ride home.

Division 9 LTG—HELEN CHEN
Hey Brooklyn Technical
H.S. Key Club!
For those who don’t know
me, I am your Key Club Lieutenant
Governor, Helen Chen! What?
What is a Lieutenant Governor? I
thought Jim Chan was the boss?!
Well, a Lieutenant Governor serves
as a leader and represents a Key
Club division in the New York
District – our division is Division 9! In
addition, a Lieutenant Governor
serves as a liaison between the
district and the clubs – to transfer
all information from the New York
District to Division 9 Key Clubs.
To do so, I publish monthly newsletters and hold monthly divisional meetings; making sure
ALL Key Club officers and members know what is going on within their division and district. I
also make sure all the Division 9 Key Clubs are running perfectly throughout the year; to
lead and guide my Key Club members to build a better home, school, and community.
I was elected as the Lieutenant Governor for Division 9 around late-January 2011.
However, before that, I was a dedicated Key Club member for two years. I joined Key
Club on September 25, 2009. My first day of Key Club was attending Past Lt. Governor
Tiffany Kwong’s September divisional in Midwood High School. Being a new member, I did
not know anything about Key Club. Simply, I thought it was just a club that does
community services. I didn’t know what a divisional meeting was; might as well a
Lieutenant Governor! Nevertheless, my first divisional meeting as a member, serves as a
motivation to keep me dedicated to Key Club. As a regular member, I did not know what
a wonderful organization Key Club was. Once I was elected as the Lieutenant Governor, I
finally realized that there was MORE about Key Club that I never knew about.

KEY CLUB
My term as the Lieutenant Governor only started couple of months ago; however, I
already have a long list of goals and plans for my division. One of my main goals is to
increase communication between the members, officers, and the rest of the K-Family. I
feel that members are secluded within their Key Club. It is important to have them
communicate with rest of the division and the K-Family members because it can show
how Key Club does not fall only within themselves or their club – Key Club goes beyond
that! In addition, the list of future division events can provide more opportunities for my Key
Clubs to continue to serve and change their community.
Remember, Key Club is all year round. Meaning, as a Key Club member, it is your
responsibility to remain active during the summer and the rest of the year. So, look for
some community services,
attend your club and division events, and continue to be a
dedicated member.
Up until this point, I congratulate you because it shows
that you read every single word I wrote. Sorry, you don’t re-
ceive any awards, but at least it shows that you care! At-
tend my divisional meetings, starting from
September! Read my newsletters, and attend division
events! That way, it shows that you’re a proud Key Club
member.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to
contact me!
Yours In Service,
Helen Chen
NYDKC Lt. Governor

District Projects:
What are the district projects? They are the service initiatives chosen by the NY
District Governor. These projects we must fundraise for. The list is as follows for the
2011-2012 service year:
Kamp Kiwanis
Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation
Local Causes
Eliminate
Kiwanis Pediatric Center
Not for Sale
Make-A-Wish

Along with the district projects, we have a Governor’s Project that the District Gover-
nor chooses as well. In this case, it is Domenick who will create this project. The pro-
ject is to be announced.
Besides district projects, we also have international projects. Every year, the Interna-
tional Board sets the International Projects. For the 2011-2012 service year, the ser-
vice initiatives that we must fundraise for are as follows:
March of Dimes

Key Clubber of the Summer What does it mean to be “Key Clubber of the Summer”?
Usually we give out this award each month to a particular key club member who
has made the most impact on our club that month. But instead, this summer we will
award ONE key club member for the months June, July, and August. In order to get
this award you have to attend events, participate, and we want to see someone
who is actively helping and contributing to their community. But we also want to
see someone who is representing Brooklyn Tech, and most importantly, key club.
This member should be the role model for other members.
THIS
COULD
BE
YOU!

Note from your Bulletin Editor:
Hi key clubbers! This time, fun and games is a crossword
puzzle! Many of you have emailed me about how you should
“submit” your answers to my fun/games. In this case, I
suggest that you print screen it and work on it using paint or
you can just send me the answers next to each number.
Nonetheless, you should all take this great
opportunity to have fun and gain points! If you have a
suggestion for a fun and games, let me know! I am open to
anything but be reasonable and appropriate. Have fun!
