Dear K-Family

Salutations! My name is Eric Zhu and I will be having the

distinct honor of serving you as Lieutenant Governor of Di-

vision 11 of the New Jersey District of Key Club for this

2013-2014 service year.

I am a junior at Piscataway High School, and I have been

with Key Club as general member since my freshman year.

However, my passion for key club only awakened about

half way through my sophomore year partly from adjust-

ing to high school and finding that I have lots of things

that I wanted to do, but also from large insistence from

the immediate passed lieutenant governor Mei. In fact, I

made a personal pledge to myself during last year's DCON

to become this year's lieutenant governor.

On the way to my present situation, I dabbled in the Chief-

tain my school's newspaper, built robots with my robotics

team (which sadly I will drop to focus more on Key Club),

played the Viola with the Chamber Orchestra and was a

frequent attendee and contributor to my school's Chinese

Culture Club and Medical club. Key Club rose above all of

these clubs because I think Key Club is the best, which has

only been proven more by the fact that Key Club gets pro-

gressively more fun and interesting, the more involved I

got.

Again, I cannot wait to serve you all as Lieutenant Gover-

nor! I hope to establish healthy relationships with my offic-

ers while playing a uniting force between my clubs by en-

couraging more divisional and district events. I have my

eyes set on becoming a Robert F. Lucas Distinguished

Lieutenant Governor with all the PCMs, OTCs, and forms

and dues that I need to collect to get there. Adding to

that, I already see an opportunity to grow my first new

club in Highland Park!

Thank you for allowing me to lead this division!

Yours in caring and service,

Feel free to email, call, or text me!

Your LTG

Good Bye Old Board!

I’ll admit- I was reluctant to go to District Convention, for several different rea-

sons. First and foremost, I’m just a freshman; it would be the first time I was on my own,

away from home. None of my best friends were going, either.

I realize now what a horrible mistake not going would have been.

DCON, in one word, was incredible. I learned so much more about Key Club, its

structure, its goals- I felt at home at DCON; everyone was so friendly, like family. I fell

harder in love with this Club, with all its values. I came home a stronger Key Clubber, a

stronger President to my Club- but I also came out a more confident person.

I’ve brought back an innumerable amount of ideas to take my Club places. In

three days, I made everlasting bonds with people who were otherwise total strangers

to me; and of course, I had a lot of fun, to say the least.

The workshops, general sessions, and just conversations overheard were great to

get new ideas for my Club. I hope I can apply these ideas to great success. After all,

the more effective every club, the more lives we save.

The overall atmosphere was amazing. The energy, the lively vibe, the cool

breeze of the beach truly brought us together as a Key Club family. Over pizza on Fri-

day night we poked fun at each other, refused to go to bed without pictures, (after

all, we were all dolled up!) and even shared a few secrets before falling asleep.

Saturday went by in a whirlwind. After the morning workshops, we were already

dreading going back home. We’d made so many memories- we wanted to stay to

make more. So after lunch, we made the best of our location. We took a long walk on

the beach, feeling the sand in our toes and the wind in our hair. Fortunately, I was able

to be a part of the House of Delegates, which also took place that afternoon. The pro-

cess of elections was intriguing; I hope to take part in District Board Elections someday.

As Saturday turned into Sunday, the reality of going back home seemed far

away. After a walk for Eliminate, District Board announcements, and, of course, plenty

of group photos, it was hard to believe we were leaving DCON behind.

family is there with you, celebrating our nations herit-

Thousands of key clubbers will go to this event. Work-

shops will be held and fun will be had! The price is also

at an all time low. Only $850! Talk to your advisor or

come to me as soon as possible to get more info!

Hi Key Clubbers!

Every year the New Jersey district of Key Club organiz-

es RTC’s (Regional Training Conferences) in the spring

and the fall. RTC’s are a great opportunity to meet

new people from within your region, attend informa-

tive workshops on various topics about all things Key

Club, and to participate in fun-filled icebreakers. Over-

all, Einstein told me that it is a relatively good event to

attend. Schrodinger told me that there may or may

not be breakfast and lunch and Heisenberg is uncer-

tain as well. Just kidding, there will definitely be break-

fast and lunch served, I’m positive. So when are RTC’s

held?...Periodically of course. This year’s theme for the

RTC’s is “ Experiment with Service”. I was going to do a

pun about Hertz, but I feel as if I do those too frequent-

ly. All the good science jokes Argon. South RTC’s will be

at Cedar Creek from May 11th from 9AM-1PM and

North RTC’s will be at Bloomfield on May 18th from 9AM

-1Pm. So mark your calendars, tell your friends, and get

as excited as an electron can be for this year’s Region-

al Training Conferences!
