District Eliminathon The District ELIMINATHON was on Sunday February 8th. Teams from all over the NJ District of Key Club came out to compete for the 1st place trophy and raise money for ELIMINATE. The winner of the tournament was the team from Division 12 called “The Big Digs.” We raised over $700 for the ELIMINATE project, which is enough to save over 400 lives!! Arthur L. Johnson did an amazing job of hosting this fun event as well.

LTG Elect

The Lieutenant Governor Elections were on Friday, January 23rd at Livingston High School. The new LTG of Division 19 for the 2015-2016 service year is Meghan Nevola from Livingston High School. She is a sophomore and the current Vice President of the Livingston High School Key Club. Throughout this service year she has been outstanding and I know she will do great wonders for our division!!

Saturday Morning Awards Committee Article Ever wonder about what the Saturday Morning Awards Committee does? Well, wonder no more! This committee is in charge of making sure awards are given to club officers distinguished for their hard work and dedication towards service during the 2014-2015 service year. At DCON, Distinguished Club Officer awards, 100% CMRF, Early Bird, and Big Ten awards are all distributed to clubs that meet a specific criterion. Distinguished officers are based on certain standards developed specifically for each position; the final results are determined based on the performance of each officer throughout their entire service year. The 100% CMRF award, a new award, is given to clubs that submit their CMRFs either early or on time consistently throughout the service year. Early Bird Awards are given to clubs that have paid their dues by November 1st. Finally, Big Ten Awards are given to clubs that increased their membership by 10% since the last service year. If you and your club meet the criteria to receive any of the awards mentioned above, great job! Continue to spread service at your home, school and community, and be proud of yourselves for your accomplishments. If you have any questions or wish to seek more information regarding the Saturday Morning Awards Committee, feel free to contact your Lieutenant Governor or Committee Chair Aleena Kazmi at [email protected].

Graduating seniors can continue to be a part of the K-Family!

Circle K is a service

organization like Key

Club, but it is in college

instead of high school.

Just because you are

graduating from high

school does not mean

that you have to let go

of the Kiwanis Family.

In New Jersey there

2

are 13 Colleges that

have Circle K, and

there are 515 colleges

that have Circle K

throughout different

countries. If the

college you want to

attend does not have

one you can always try

and make one at that

3

school. Around the

world there are 8,625

Circle K members

making each day

better! Circle K

members are involved

with March of Dimes,

Students Team Up to

Fight Hunger, and

UNICEF.

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
