School is almost out for Summer 2010! I can’t wait to hit the beach, head to summer camp, travel around, and most espe- cially attend the Key Club Inter- national Con- vention in Memphis, Tennessee! It’s going to be a blast! How about you guys? What are you doing this summer and what are you most looking forward to? The summer is also a great time for service, including some unique summer- oriented service projects, and a time to further bond with your fellow Key Clubbers! There- fore I am asking each club to hold at least one service project this summer. Although it may be difficult to hold a project on vacation, it is important to hold at least one since the Key Club service year runs yearlong, from March until March. I find holding a summer project is easiest right after the school year ends in June or before school begins in August. Lastly, our next divisional meeting and our first division project are on June 26 from 4-8 pm! The meeting will last for about an hour and a BBQ and Pool Party will follow. There will be a small admission fee and funds will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospi- tal, a district project and a hospital that the New York District Key Club will be visiting on the tour to International Convention. More information is below. Hope to see you there! If you ever need anything please feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call or you may contact our newly appointed Division Board, which includes Division Executive As- sistant Sam Saurez and Division Secretary Cay- lin Acosta.

Executive Assistant Intro & Duties
By Executive Assistant Jillian Harmon
Greetings from your Governor!
By Governor Nadyli Nuñez
Can you believe we’re already
in June? School is almost over
and summer is rolling in.
With great weather come
many great events that are
calling Key Clubbers for help!
Answer their call! Get a
group of friends, volunteer
together and have some sum-
mer fun. Many people will travel during this upcoming vacation
but before the end of the school year, find out who is staying
and exchange contact information so you can volunteer to-
gether. You will not only help others but you might make a new
friend.
Since the last newsletter, the District Board
has decided on the ten District Projects and established the Gov-
ernor’s Project. We have also established goals for this year that I
know we will achieve. Committees are currently working on how
to reach the goals easier for you. They are creating future publi-
cations just for you. Read the articles in this issue and you will
find out the numbers we will be reaching as well as information
on what the committees are up to.
If you are not subscribed to the New York
District website (www.nydkc.org), what are you waiting for? Go
to the homepage and subscribe! Encourage your Key Club
friends to subscribe as well. It won’t take more than twenty sec-
onds because all you need is your name and email address.
Alright everyone, hold on tight. The school year
is almost over. Finish strong!
Executive Assistant? What’s that?
Well, an Executive Assistant is an appointed position in the New York District Key Club. This year I
am proud to introduce myself as the 2010-2011 Executive Assistant to the New York District! My
name is Jillian Harmon and this year I will be working alongside Governor Nadyli and the Executive
Board in helping make this Key Club service year the most productive and exciting year yet! I’m aware
of the obstacles that face every Lieutenant Governor and I plan to make their year as successful and as
stress-free as possible in addition to assisting Governor Nadyli with the myriad number of tasks she
has to complete as our Governor of the NY District. I look forward to meeting each of you over the
upcoming year! Have an exciting and service-packed Summer!

The Empire Key is the official publi-
cation of the New York District Key
Club. It serves as a tool and refer-
ence to Key Clubbers. However, the
Empire Key is also a place where the
successes of club projects and club
service events are celebrated and
shared. As a district that ranges
from the vibrant urban city life to
the peaceful rural towns, Key Club-
bers accomplish the same mission
through different means. These
measures should inspire others and
evolve into future successes. That is why the Service Spotlight
section of the Empire Key is very important not only to the host-
ing club but the Key Clubbers around the state. I encourage all
clubs to submit articles of their projects and events for publica-
tion in the Empire Key. This can be done through the district
website, www.nydkc.org, under “Club Resources” or it can be e-
