Hey Division 1,
I hope that everyone has enjoyed the break and is ready to ring in the new
2012 year! We have three months left of this service year so let’s make
them really count. Please pay careful attention to the events that are com-
ing up which are detailed in this newsletter. We’ve had a very successful
year so far! Let’s continue to strengthen our division and prepare for Dis-
trict Convention as it quickly approaches.
Seniors! Please be sure to review the Scholarships packet, and presidents,
please be sure to fill out your club’s Annual Achievement Report Form! If
you need these files, please email me so I can send them to you.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to contact me
at any time. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Yours in Caring and Service,
Cecilia Kang
Division 1 Lieutenant Governor
A Message from your
Lieutenant Governor!

ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9TH,
students from the New Jersey District
(and even New York) arrived at Camp
Lebanon in Lebanon, NJ for the week-
end of a lifetime. Key Leader is Ki-
wanis International’s leadership educa-
tion program for high school students.
Its mission is to provide a “life-
changing experience that inspires
young people to achieve their personal
best through service leadership.” The
lead facilitator, Brian Ritchie, spent
the weekend reviewing the Key Leader
principles and sharing many stories
and tips to teach everyone how to be a
better leader
The most heartwarming part
of the weekend seemed to be the
viewing of clips from “The Collector
of Bedford Street”, a documentary
film about Larry Selman, a community
activist and fundraiser with a disability.
By watching clips of this film and
many others, listening and sharing
stories, and participating in various
activities, the students who attended
Key Leader learned a lot about them-
selves and what kinds of leaders they
are.
If you are an underclassman,
it is strongly recommended that you
attend Key Leader next year so that
you can continue to grow and learn. I
can guarantee that you will not regret
it. With Key Leader, you will learn
about personal integrity, personal
growth, respect, building community,
and pursuit of excellence.�

Officer of the Month
Advocacy
Article written by Division 14
LTG Celina Baquiran
Be the Peace to the Puzzle! Let us not
forgot about this service year’s advocacy
focuses: Invisible Children and Autism.
Remember, no fundraising is involved
with our advocacy focuses. So what can
clubs do to help our advocacy focuses?
Easy! Clubs can participate in service
projects such as attending Autism walks,
having an Invisible Children screening
at your school, participating in days of
silence, and much much more. Invisible
Children works with other organiza-
tions in which book, clothing and shoe
donations will be given to those in
Uganda. There are a plethora of organi-
zations that work with Autism, so have
your club contact them and see if you
can help out a recreation therapy. �
The officer of the Month for the month of
December is Egg Harbor Township Key Club’s
Corresponding Secretary, Michelle Chen! She
has emailed all of her CMRFs early or on time.
Aside from fulfilling all of her duties as a
secretary, Michelle has been especially helpful
as a presiding officer of her committee (at
EHTHS). She has been a great contact for her
committee chairs and her officers and has been
very prompt. She has also been posting sign-up
sheets and reminders online, being a very
helpful officer of her Key Club. Great job,
Michelle! Keep up the great work!
