Hello everyone, Hope you have had a great start to the notoriously hectic month of September. In this special Back to School Edition of my newsletter, I hope to remind you about a few key things to keep in mind during this busy season. First, congratulations to Chatham, Columbia, JD, Millburn, and Union Key Clubs for readily attending OTCs and having 100% officers trained! Madison and Summit are not far behind, so contact me to set up a time for your OTC as soon as possible. Next, as clubs welcome new members and start the first round of fundraisers and service projects, dont forget to keep Childrens Specialized Hospital in mind. Please see Pg 7 for more information on how you can help as a club and as a part of division 14. In addition, as seen my recent emails, every club should have received in the mail (advisor and president) the Back to School mailing from the NJ District. Every sheet is very important and should be kept for your records. Lastly, as a junior myself, I completely understand that the overwhelming amount of work everyone is going through. Therefore, if you have to reschedule your weekly phone call or have a conflict on the day of an OTC, please let me know so we can work something out. Ignoring call or just not showing up after RSVPing does not benefit you or me.

In this special Back to School Edition of my newsletter, I hope to remind you about a few key things to keep in mind during this busy season. First, congratulations to Chatham, Columbia, JD, Millburn, and Union Key Clubs for readily attending OTCs and having 100% officers trained! Madison and Summit are not far behind, so contact me to set up a time for your OTC as soon as possible. Next, as clubs welcome new members and start the first round of fundraisers and service projects, don’t forget to keep Children’s Specialized Hospital in mind. Please see Pg 7 for more information on how you can help as a club and as a part of division 14. In addition, as seen my recent emails,

every club should have received in the mail (advisor and president) the Back to School mailing from the NJ District. Every sheet is very important and should be kept for your records. Lastly, as a junior myself, I completely understand that the overwhelming amount of work everyone is going through.

As you know, UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) is one of the Service Partners of Key Club International. Key Club International focuses on Operation Uruguay: Protecting the Rights of Children. In Uruguay, the second smallest country in South America, 44% of the population under age 18 live in extreme poverty. There is a clear lack of motivation and opportunity because only 1 in 3 students graduate from high school. For Operation Uruguay, Key Club set a goal of $1.5 million for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. All funds will go toward building and maintaining cultural and educational centers, like Mandalavos Center, which provide sanctuaries for children needing support, education, and health care. (More details http://www.unicefusa.org/partners/ngo/key-club-international.html )

This year, the NJ District of KCI has

set a fundraising goal of $33,190.25 for UNICEF fundraising. Besides going door to door, there are many others ways to spread the word about Trick or Treat for UNICEF. For example, you can organize a school–wide or community-wide can shake or penny war. Then, order and put costume boxes in common places to attract attention. In addition, feel free to hold any fundraising event from a UNICEF Spooktacular (see recipe in International Programs Cookbook of Service) to a pumpkin carving contest! Get your teachers excited by having them donate for a casual dress day. Anything that you can think of can contribute toward this goal. Please send all donations by mail to P.O. Box 447 Roseland, NJ 07068. Make all checks payable to Key Club International with a memo for UNICEF.

Have a safe Halloween and have fun Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF!

got UNICEF? go Trick-or-Treating!

Public Relations for your club!

DOES YOUR CLUB HOLD EVENTS THAT YOU FEEL CAN BE EVEN BIGGER?

Have no fear; the Public Relations Partners are here!

WHO ARE THEY?

The PR Partners Program is designed to help clubs and divisions publicize so that major events can reach their full fundraising and attendance potential. Your PR

Partner is there to help with anything from collaborating on promotional materials to sending out information about the event to a wider audience. As experienced

members of the NJDB, they have access to a variety of resources that are not available to most clubs such as a database of newspapers for your entire region.

Publicize: CSH Restaurant Week

Children’s Specialized Hospital has been the New Jersey District Project

for the 5th year in a row. In the past, if your club has not been active in

volunteering for fundraising for CSH, that is no reason to neglect this

wonderful organization. Help out today by holding a Restaurant Night

and becoming part of the Division 14 Restaurant Week. In addition to

being Key Club week as designated by Key Club International, the first week of November is also known as CSH

week to clubs in the New Jersey District. This year, it will be from

10/30 – 11/7. Please try to hold a Restaurant Night during that week although I understand if there are

business restrictions.

1. Call local restaurant (TGI Fridays, Applebee’s, Friendly’s, http://www.friendlys.com/about/fundraising/ etc.) and schedule an appointment with the manager

2. Drop off my Dine to Donate letter (outlines Key Club, Restaurant Nights and CSH) to restaurants. Be sure to add your president’s contact info!

3. Set up date, time, and donation percentage with manager. Notify me! Some restaurants require flyers. Please send them to me and I will forward it to the entire division as well.

The project

~

On June 24th, at the Kiwanis International Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Kiwanis International Board unveiled their Worldwide Service Project: The Eliminate Project. In conjunction with UNICEF, Kiwanis International plans to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus by 2015. Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) are forms of tetanus that occur either during pregnancy or shortly after birth, and claim the lives of 60,000 babies and 30,000 mothers from 40 different countries every year. Children born with neonatal tetanus suffer from painful convulsions and die weeks after birth. Mothers who did not get

vaccinated or undergo an unsafe birthing process are at risk of contracting maternal tetanus during their pregnancy. This disease is 100% fatal if not treated. Fortunately, it is also 100% preventable. Merely three doses of a vaccination can immunize a person against this disease. At 60 cents per immunization, it costs only $1.80 to save a life. Kiwanis International has set a worldwide goal of $110 million to help fight this terrible disease and to “ELIMINATE” it by 2015. With your help, we as the Kiwanis Family can save 129 million mother and their future babies. Just because The Eliminate Project is the Kiwanis Wordwide Service Project, does not mean it is exclusive to Kiwanis Clubs. As Key Club members, we should help our parent organization reach this

goal, and work towards ridding this world of one more tragic disease.

The New Jersey District of Key Club International has chosen poverty as our District Programs focus for the 2010-2011 service year. Each season will have a service theme to go along with the main focus, poverty. This year’s focus is something which hits close to home especially in the current economic state of our country.

Fifteen major cities in New Jersey and three counties have reached critical poverty levels. One out of five New Jersey families does not earn enough to afford basic necessities such as food and housing, and 85% of these households have at least one member who is employed. Only 6% of them receive welfare. Over 738,900 people in NJ live at or below the poverty level and 575,000 children in New Jersey live in low-income households. Poverty may seem like an end but it is only a means to an end. There are a few who have refused to let their state of poverty affect their success. A few people who come to mind are Oprah Winfrey, who was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother, Chris Gardner subject of the movie, “The Pursuit of Happiness,” and comedian Jim Carrey.

The theme of education for the fall goes right along with our Governor’s Project, “Operation Educate” and the Major Emphasis Program, “Live to Learn.” In the United States, unlike other countries around the world, early, primary, and secondary educations are free. Worsened poverty has been prevented in our country simply by free education. However, the poverty stricken families in our country cannot afford the supplies needed for a proper education. How can a child do their homework without paper to write on or pencils to write with, let alone a computer to research with? How would you be able to take notes when the only thing you can afford to bring to class is yourself? How can children learn how to read without the books at home to practice with? This is where all of us mighty Key Club members come in. During the fall you can:

Collect school supplies and bring them to Fall Rally or hand them out to kids in need. Read to young children to show that reading is fun and important. Tutor students in your school or in other schools. Hold a book drive and distribute the books to schools/kids.
