RTCs The Fall Regional Training Conferences were a huge success! The North RTCs at Parsippany Hills High School had over 130 Key Clubbers attend. It was nice to see a lot of familiar faces from our division! There were new and exciting workshops that were available to attend as well. Overall in the North, Central, and South parts of the amazing New Jersey District, the officers and members are ready to have a successful and fun service year.

What to Expect at Fall Rally

Are you ready to Get Animated with Service at Fall Rally 2014? What is Fall Rally? Fall Rally is the largest gathering of NJ Key Clubbers to motivate Key Clubbers to have a great rest of the service year. This year Fall Rally will be on October 12th at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. In the wee hours of the morning you and your Key Club will travel to the amusement park to meet about 3,000 Key Clubbers from all across New Jersey! Get ready to see the NJ District Board dress up as your favorite animated characters ranging from Aang to Wanda! Get ready to learn all about what the New Jersey District is doing ranging from Eliminate updates, Advocacy information, dues, and different district events during the session!

Another highlight of the event will be the spirit stick competition! Every division will have to prove how ready they are for the service year as they cheer their heads off hoping to be the loudest division in the district! The winner will win the coveted spirit stick! The day does not have to end with this fun session! Clubs have the option to explore the park and go on the rides before the park officially opens! Your club will also have the option to stay for Fright Fest.

Although Fall Rally is on October 12th, Key Clubs should start preparing now! You should be sure to stress the importance of attending Fall Rally from the start of the school year and then talk to your current Lieutenant Governor or any District Board member about how many people your club will be taking to Fall Rally or if there is an issue or concern regarding transportation, etc. Fall Rally is great way to get to know people who share the same passion for service as you, meet the members of the New Jersey District Board, and have lots of fun!

What is a District Project? Every service year, the NJ District Board decides upon one project for the entire district. This year, The ELIMINATE Project is our focus.

What is MNT? MNT stands for Maternal and Neonatal Teta-

nus. It is a fatal disease that mainly affects mothers and their babies, making the new-

borns hypersensitive to light and touch.

DPS September Newsletter Article Salutations, New Jersey District! Each year, the first week of November marks Key Club Week! Key Club Week, November 3-7 this year, allows clubs to show off their Key Club spirit and make it a household name. Much like Eliminate Week, each day in Key Club Week is assigned a theme. From hosting a service project with local K-Family clubs, to bringing a friend to a Key Club meeting, Key Club Week is a great way to promote Key Club and the Eliminate project. Flyers for Key Club Week, which will include all necessary information, will be available shortly. Keep your eye out for the flyers from your respective Lieutenant Governor and make sure to use the official hashtag, #KeyClubWeek! If you want to get a head start on planning your events for this week, a list of suggestions has been posted at http://www.keyclub.org/service/kcw.aspx. Of course, spreading the word about the Eliminate Project is vital in this final year of the campaign. To promote fundraising towards the New Jersey District’s goal, $109,325.15, and to promote awareness about Maternal and Neonatal tetanus (MNT), the New Jersey District will host a series of volleyball tournaments, each called the Eliminathon. Winners from the divisional level will qualify to compete at the district level and determine the best of the best players of the New Jersey District! Any high schooler can participate in the tournament by forming a group of 6 players at the divisional level. Any one can come out and support your teams. Once you receive a date and time, invite all of your friends to come and spectate! More information about the Eliminathon will be released shortly. Keep an eye out for flyers sent out by your Lieutenant Governor. We hope to see you at this year’s Eliminathon! Yours in Caring and Service, District Project Steering Committee Co-Chairpersons LTG Division 20 Aleena Kazmi LTG Division 11 Farwa Shakeel
