Salutations Division 17!
Merry (late) Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Did you all get awesome presents and write out your resolutions? My holidays were certainly filled with cheer...and college applications (haha). Anyways, we have a lot coming up these upcoming final months! For now, let’s focus on JUST January. When we get back from break, we all have about a week to fundraise AT LEAST $280 to decrease the individual ticket price to $25. The more we raise, the cheaper it will be! If you have yet to RSVP, PLEASE DO SO NOW. I know have I have constantly extending the deadline, but if you don’t let me know by January 4th, I will simply assume that you are not coming and not count you when dis-cussing plans with the hotel. So please let me know via either the Facebook event, or personally.
January 10th is going to be a busy! We start out with a DCM at 2:30PM at Fairview Library. I will mainly be discuss-ing District Convention; prices, contests, everything. The meeting should not go over 30 minutes, so around 3, we will begin Lt. Governor elections. Depending on how many candidates we have will determine how long the elections will take place. Regardless, it should not go over 1-2 hours. The Divisional Awards Dinner will begin at 6:30PM at the Marriott Hotel in Secaucus, NJ. There is some time in between for all of us to get ready (especially me). More de-tails and information are written in the newsletter, so please check out the page for more information.
If you have any questions regarding anything, please feel free to contact me! Shout out to North Bergen president Priya Ravi for taking my offer every chance she gets! (Actually, I do enjoy receiving texts from all of you).
I hope to see you all soon! Stay warm and stay safe!
Yours in caring and service,

Salutations, New Jersey District Key Clubbers!
Although it may seem like the service year just began, it is quickly coming to a close! For many of you, this year will be the last for your Key Club career. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to be rewarded for your dedication to Key Club! Each year, the New Jersey District grants 14 different scholarships, each ranging between $1,000-$2,000. All information is located in the scholarship packet. You can ask your Lieutenant Governor for a packet, but here is a quick breakdown of what you need to include in your application:
• A two page essay detailing your favorite Key Club service project.
• Two letters of recommendation from adults who are familiar with your service, neither of which can be a relative.
• Advisor verification of your service, especially if you must approximate your number of hours/points, in the case that your club does not record hours/points
• Brief description of all your service, inside and outside of Key Club, and your greatest achievement outside of Key Club.
All scholarship applications must be postmarked by February 20th, 2015. Any application not postmarked by this date will not be considered. Scholarship recipients will be announced at District Convention! I look forward to reading about your favorite service projects! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Yours in Caring and Service,
Farwa Shakeel

The New Jersey District of Key Club is looking for a new set of capable student leaders for the 2015-2016 New Jersey District Board.
Key Club in itself is a student-led organization in which the District Board, made up of high school student like you, oversees all club affairs. We organize District Events such as Fall Rally and District Convention and form a support system for over 13,000 Key Clubbers in New Jersey. Our District Officers are very passionate about Key Club and work diligently to make sure that the New Jersey District and all its clubs keeps growing stronger. As District Offi-cers, our goal as leaders is to teach others to be leaders, and that is what you will have to do if you are elected to the District Board.
There are two categories of District Officers: Lieutenant Governors and District Executives. Lieutenant Governors are regional liaisons to the District and are elected by the student officers in their respective divisions. Their job is to update individual clubs on District affairs and provide support to struggling clubs. District Executives such as the District Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Editor serve the entire state of New Jersey to oversee the Lieutenant Governors and the 144 Key Clubs. Because of the great responsibility of these positions, District Executives are elected into office at by members at District Convention. Each of these positions requires great leadership and com-munication skills, and the time and travel commitments are extensive. However, if you are willing to put in the work, the experience can be extremely rewarding.
If you are an underclassman and want to become a District Officer for the 2015-16 Service Year, you must be elected into office by your peers. Lieutenant Governors are elected in a divisional election by local officers. District Execu-tives must campaign at District Convention and be elected by our New Jersey House of Delegates. All Lieutenant Governor Elects and District Executive Candidates must attend a special training conference to learn about their positions. If you are interested, contact your Lieutenant Governor for more information, and check out the Official Elections Packet that can be found at [INSERT ISSUU LINK HERE] . Best of luck in your campaign!
We need candidates and voters!

Have you ever held a lemonade stand?
When Alex set up her first lemonade stand at age four, little did she know that the world would change forever. Alex was diagnosed with cancer right before her first birthday. When she was four, with the help of her brother, she set up her first lemonade stand. Despite having a life threatening disease, Alex never stopped thinking of oth-ers. Not only did she hold lemonade stands annually until cancer took her life at age eight, she also inspired many people to do the same. Wishing to continue her legacy, her parents set up the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. This foundation has continued what Alex started: it has raised money and awareness of childhood cancer causes—especially research into new treatments and cures—and encouraged and empowered others, especially children, to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer. Since 2000, Alex’s Lemonade Stand has raised more than $80 million dollars to fight childhood cancer.
How can my club help this incredible organization? Hold an Alex’s Lemonade Stand at your school! Get it ap-proved for the spring or summer. When the time comes, set up in the sun and see how much your club can raise to help end childhood cancer. Alex’s Lemonade Stand also takes donations. Please contact your lieutenant gover-nor with any questions on Alex’s Lemonade Stand or visit www.alexslemonade.org.
