Hello everyone, my name is Emily Gicewicz and I have the honor of being you 2011-2012 District Treasurer!

If your reading this now, then you have probably realized that this a newsletter like your Lt. Governor makes for your division, only just for treasurers. I am using this as one of many outlets of communication from myself to all of the wonderful club treasures in out mighty New York District! During my term I will be making 4 of these. One for sum-mer, one in October, December, and my last one will be in March. I hope these will be of great use to you in your important position.

If you went to this year’s Leadership Training Con-

ference then you may have heard my election speech. It was focused around my main goals of commu-nication and education. These are the two main things I plan to do

d u r i n g my term. How I

am going

to com-

plete my

goal of e d u c a -

tion is

through

resources and a training videos. As some

may know I am currently in the

process of getting how to complete

FRF resource approved, it will be

released very soon, if it is not out by the time you read this. Very

In the beginning of this Key Club year there was a goal set for 50 complete Fundraising Re-port Forms to be submitted for the whole year. Having never reached higher than that in all of our time using FRFs, we thought that never would be surpass that goal. Congratulations, we have

surpass 50 FRFs goal for this year, 3 month into the year…..

With our goal already reached because of some amazing club treasurers (not naming names) that leaves us with a need for a new goal. Remember; goals are made to be broken. With this

in mind, I have set the new goal at 100 complete FRF submissions by LTC in March 2012. Since we continue to hand in more every-day, with some hard work we can reach this goal. I can’t do this with out all of your help! Keep submitting FRFs!!!!!!

Working with Secretaries

P A G E 2

Hello Treasurers,As a treasurer it is important to work in close contact with your club secre-tary. Though you are in charge of fiscal records, it is important that you send these records to your club secretary so that he or she can have a reference for his or her paperwork. You should always remind your club secretary about the amount raised for a service project., work hand in hand. It will prove to be helpful. A big reminder. Never handle money alone. You do not want to be held accountable for missing money or things of that sort. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or Emily (depending on what you need). Take advantage of the wonderful resources provided by the district website. They will be helpful in your term of service. Please keep up with your work and of course remember to have a great summer!Yours in the spirit of service,District Secretary, Daniel Ivan [email protected]

Hey New York District Key Club!

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Domenick Pesce your District Governor. I'm extremely ex-cited to be working with all of you this 2011-2012 service year. I will see to it this year we reach new heights as the Mighty New York District Key Clubbers we are!

So can you believe we’re in Summer already. With this great atmosphere, comes some great time to par-ticipate in some exceptional Key Club events. Please, stay in good contact with your Lieutenant Governor! Remem-ber that Key Club is a year round organization, be sure to

stay active during these warm and sunny months.

My job as Governor for the New York District consists of serving you, the Key Clubbers of the state in any way that I can. I facilitate Lieu-tenant Governors and District Board Officers to make the District run smoothly and successfully.

Touching quickly on the subject of District Board news, the Board and I have been hard at work getting ready for the Summer as well as the new school year. Now that Executive Board members like out EA, District Editor, and District Webmaster have been appointed, it's time to kick things into speed for the

Summer. Finally, please stay in

contact with the District! If you are not subscribed to the New York District website (www.nydkc.org), as well as the Official NYDKC Facebook Group (on.fb.me/meTPeC), what are you waiting for? Go to the homepage and sub-scribe! Encourage your Key Club friends to subscribe as well.

I'm looking forward to our year as NYDKC's so much! We're due for some change, and the gears are al-ready in serious motion. (Also feel free to add me on Face-book if you'd like!) Stay con-nect and you'll be hearing from me soon!

Thanks for a Great Year!P A G E 3

Wow! It’s hard to believe a service year and school year has come and gone. I must say, I’m proud of the mighty New York District for all the service done and the money raised, and all the goals reached and surpassed. It has been an honor

working for the district and I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity and giving me this wonderful year. You, as Key Clubbers, have taught me that nothing is impossible when you passionately care about a cause.

On that note—keep caring! Though the year has ended, service has not. The transition from one District Treasurer to the next is not exactly smooth, and the dis-

trict needs you to stay active and on top of your work to ease the transition. Keep sending in your additional dues, whether they’re on time or not. Keep sending in your Fundraising Report Forms and proofs, because we need them to keep track of progress. Keep caring, because, though you may be on summer vacation, the world is not, and it still needs you.

importantly trade district pins (kidding).

As District Treasurer, I was trained at this ICON. From the training I garnered many new ideas to bring back to you. Some of which are making a training video to give to treasurer who can not attend a Fall Rally, and some many more. It defiantly will assist me in being the

One a year all of Key Club International comes together at a conference. It is in different loca-tions each year, last year it was in Memphis, TN, this year it was in Phoenix, AZ, and next year it is in Orlando, FL. It is a kick off to the upcoming Key Club year. We elect our new International Officers, attended many workshops, and most

best District Treasurer possible for all of you. I learned the proper way to collect dues and when to. I plan on working with many other District Treasurers across Key Club Interna-tional to get more ideas from them!

With my new knowledge I can now give you more assistance and give more accurate answer to questions. All you need to do is ask!

what you said in the FRF. Think of it like what you do in math when prov-ing two triangles congruent. You obvi-ously know the two triangle are congru-

ent but you need to have evidence. It is not because we don’t trust that what you said was incorrect but we need to have what you fundraised in two places in-order to get credit. No proof with

your complete Fundraising Report form= no credit.

What exactly can proof be? It can be all sorts of things, it is insisted that is be a copy of the check you are sending to who the money

was raised for. It can also be a letter from the benefitting organization, an expense report from the check being made out. Try to stay away from articles and hand written things.

When in doubt of what proof can be, contact me!

If your anything like I was last year then you may not know what I am talking about, but never fear I am hear to tell you! A proof is

something that proves the fundrais-ing you stated on the Fundraising Report form is the actual amount raised.

The reason behind proofs is to ensure that the fundraised amount and location are the same as
