Dear New Jersey District Board

I hope you all are having a great a start to your summer. At International Convention I attended multiple workshops regarding fundraising and my role as District Treasurer. I am very thrilled to share some of the information with you! Dues are extremely important to both our District and Key Club International. We currently have two clubs in our District that have not paid dues. Soon the membership status of clubs will return back to zero within the next few days. Make sure to tell your clubs when giving donations to the food bank in their region shown on page 4 to write NJ Key Club in the memo. Yours in Caring and Service,

For everyone that got the unpaid dues clubs in your division to pay thank you for staying on top of them and getting the dues paid.

NJ Federation of Food Banks

The NJ Federation of Food Banks consists of five food banks across the state. As Key Clubbers we have made it our mission to raise $90,077.85 for these food banks. 900 is for the 900,000 NJ residents who rely on food banks. 77 is for the 7.7 million times a year someone is fed by a food bank. 8 is for the 1 in 8 people in New Jersey that struggle with hunger 5 is for the 5 community food banks in NJ.

Youth  Opportuni/es  Fund  The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) is an endowed fund for Key Club International that provides funds to help Key Clubs execute their service opportunities. The YOF is established through gifts to the G. Harold Martin Fellowships – a fellowship that aims to fund service projects and recognize people who contribute their time to the Key Club Program. YOF grants can help your club perform the service project of your dreams; start looking around your school, community, or world for things that need improvement! Applications are due on October 15th at 11:59 EST each year – do not miss the deadline, there is only one funding cycle per year! The Key Club International Board’s decision will be mailed no later than January 1st, 2016. Clubs may request financial assistance for said service project ranging anywhere from $100-$2000. The YOF committee usually allots the funds to clubs who ask for a portion of the total cost of the project, and to projects that are working with other organizations to fund and complete the project. 5
