Greetings Division 6!
So far this year is going swimmingly! Everyone is doing an
amazing job so far and I am pleased to announce that Divi-
sion 6 is very close to being finished with the first few things
of the service year. Firstly, so far six of the seven club rosters
have been sent in completely and the last will be arriving
within the next couple weeks; I’d like to personally thank all
of you for your efforts in this area as it is probably the most
important “to-do” item. Secondly, I am please to say that
we successfully reached quorum (4/7 clubs in attendance)
at the first President’s Council Meeting of the year on May
20th with six of the seven clubs in attendance. Lastly, 54.8%
of the officers in the Division have been successfully trained
for their positions!
But hey, don’t think that just because the school year is
over that Key Club is too! I will still be sending out emails and
planning Divisional events and PCMs. Don’t let the summer
distract you too much!
We are well on our way to a productive
year and it’s all thanks to you! See all of you
soon!
Hello Division 6!
Yours in Caring and Service,
Chris Godshall

A Message from the
Public Relations Committee
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, an-
swer them by telling your friends! By letting your friends know all
about the wonderful thing that is Key Club, you are doing exact-
ly what this committee entails: publicizing!
If you have any questions or comments about the Public Re-
lations Committee, contact co-chairs Nicole Darrah
([email protected]) or Brian Cheung ([email protected])!

3,000 Key Clubbers. 13 Roller Coasters. 1 Fall Rally.
That’s right! On October 10th, 2010, the New Jersey District of Key Club will be Singing
the Songs of Service at its annual Fall Rally at the thrill-inducing Six Flags Great Adventure in
Jackson, NJ! Picture a beautiful October day. Now imagine it in the backdrop, reflecting
over Kingda Ka’s monstrous 456-foot high peak. Finally, imagine this stunning sight in the dis-
tance, as you sit in an arena with 3,000 other Key Clubbers, fighting to win the Spirit Stick,
and watching an amazing celebrity look-alike contest.
However, the fun doesn’t end there! Once the short and fun-filled session ends, you
have the day to roam the park as you wish. Fight your fears of the dark by going on Skull
Mountain, or attempt to conquer the beast as you undertake a front-row experience of El
Toro. The possibilities are endless!
This year, Fall Rally costs only $32 if you get your payment in by October 1st! If pay-
ment comes in late, it costs $37. Regardless, you are getting admission into the park for al-
most half of the regular price. Of course, if you are a season pass holder, the cost of Fall
Rally is a mere $6. Presidents and advisors, start talking to your schools and Boards Of Edu-
cation now about arranging transportation to Fall Rally, since things are difficult to schedule
once school starts again in the fall. All officers, start promoting this wonderful event to all of
your clubs. And, last not but not least, general members, start getting excited to attend this
phenomenal event. If you are having issues arranging transportation for Fall Rally, contact
either your Kiwanis Club, who would be glad to help you get transportation to this event, or
your Lieutenant Governor, who is equipped with materials that can guide you through any
logistical problem you may have in attending Fall Rally.

Regional Training Conferences
“Rock Out with Service!”
VISIT NJKEYCLUB.ORG!
As most of you may know, this past weekend, May 22nd and 23rd, was the Spring Re-
gional Training Conferences. They were held at Morris Knolls High School and Brick Memorial
High School. Congratulations to both host clubs on doing a great job!
Our RTC chairs, Meagan Koch and Thuyvan Luu, planned a great conference for all
of you members, with fun and knowledgeable sessions. All of the attendees truly rocked out
with service!
But if you missed Spring RTCs, don’t worry! There will be more in the fall. These confer-
ences are to be held on September 19, 25, and 26, at J.P Stevens, Central Regional, and
Millburn high schools, respectively. It is really important that you, your executive board
members, and even your general members attend a regional training conference. They will
teach you all you need to know about Key Club and teach you how to do your job effi-
ciently and well!
Also! If you want to share more information with your club, but were unable to attend
RTCs, make sure to check out our website at… http://njkeyclub.org/events/rtcs!
If I didn’t see you at Spring RTCs, I hope to see you at one of the ones in the fall!
