Leadership Training

Conference 2015!

Do you love Key Club? Well, you must, because you’ve read this far! Well, what is a

better way to show off your love for Key Club than to attend a Training Conference

with people from all over New York State? Whether your favorite thing to do is meet

new people, share your ideas, come up with new service projects, or learn how to be

a better officer, all these things are offered at the 67th Annual Leadership Training

Conference. The 2015, LTC will be held at the Desmond Hotel in Albany, N.Y.,

from March 27th to March 29th. Our theme will be

Espionage/ Spies! Come be an agent of service with

us!

ICON or International Convention was located in Anaheim California

for 2014. Though it’s too late to attend this year’s ICON because it ended

almost a month ago, it’s never to early to consider going to ICON for 2015.

ICON is like Leadership Training Conference but SO much larger. ICON is

every club in the United States! ICON isn't just for the New York District

Board, it’s for ANYONE. Any member, officer, or advisor can attend ICON.

You get the opportunity to go somewhere that you’ve never been, and

meet people that you’ve never met before, from EVERYWHERE! ICON 2015

will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana for the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis!

Icon 2014 was my first experience at Icon and in California,

so you can only imagine my surprise when I arrived at the

Hotel in Anaheim to see all these people. All these people

here for Key Club!? I was speechless, and if you know me,

that barely happens. Imagine walking into a hotel and see-

ing this; hundreds of people, all different, all unique, all their

own person, but they’re all alike in one way; their way of life;

caring. I mean, that’s what brought me 2,774 miles away

from home. I can’t explain what Icon meant to me. I made

friendships that will last a lifetime. I met people who changed

my perspective on life. I witnessed random acts of kindness,

and I watched as our own past LTG, Laken Kelly was elected

Well, I’ve told you about my experience at ICON 2014, now let me

introduce you to someone brand new to the New York District!

Meet Shane Meyers from the mighty mighty Florida District. Shane

was elected International Trustee during ICON 2014. The New York Dis-

trict Board was recently informed that we would have the honor of hav-

ing Shane as our International Trustee. Shane will also oversee our sister

districts; the Illinois—Eastern Iowa District, and the Bahamas District!

Wish Shane luck for a successful service year!

Shane’s goals include

reducing the cost of future

ICON’s, preventing future

dues increases, and

improving communication

by holding conference calls

with district board members

as well as selected

presidents.

And remember,

“No Shane,

No gain.”

St. Jude Research Hospital is

one of the world’s premier

pediatric cancer

research centers. The goal

of St. Jude’s is to find a cure

for children with cancer and

other devastating diseases.

They plan to reach this goal

through research and

treatment.

Make — A — Wish Foundation is

an organization that believes that

one simple wish can change the

game for a child who has a life —

threatening medical condition. Make

— A — Wish is inspired to be crea-

tive in exceeding the expectations

of every child’s wish. Make — A –

Wish grants a child’s wish on an av-

erage, every 38 minutes. The foun-

dation serves to change the lives of

children in the United States.

The two district projects for the 2014– 2015 Service Year

are Make – A — Wish Foundation and St. Jude Children’s Re-

search Hospital. For this upcoming service year, the New York

District is pushing to spend more hours, and raise more money

for these two great projects. The goal for the service year is

65,000 hours of service, and $75,000 to donate. Each and

every club, and individual Key Clubber must put forward all the

time they can to help not only reach these goals, but go beyond

the expectations of the New York District. So, Division 24,

please make sure that you’re filling out your

Monthly Report Forms on the 7th of EVERY

month so that we can reach our goal!

The goal of the Eliminate Project is to eliminate Maternal and Neo-

natal Tetanus. Almost 60,000 newborn babies die every year from

this disease, and the mothers are at risk to pass away also. Newborns

suffer repeated and extremely painful convulsions and are sensitive

to light and to touch. The goal of this projects is to have Maternal

and Neonatal Tetanus completely eliminated by 2015. To reach this

goal we need to vaccinate about 129 million mothers and future

babies. $110 million will support the vaccines, syringes, safe storage,

transportation, and the skilled staff to help eliminate this disease. But,

we need more than money. We need the help of every dedicated

member of every Kiwanis, Key club, Builders club, and UNICEF.

Kiwanis and UNICEF in earlier years tackled iodine deficiency

disorders and achieved one of the most public health successes of

the twentieth century. Now, together, they plan to eliminate MNT

from the face of the Earth. This will help the poorest, and most ne-

glected mothers and their babies received healthcare.

The end of MNT is the beginning to a new generation of happy

and healthy mothers, and babies.

We have raised a total of $54,254,232.21, and Key Club alone

has raised $2,432,905.64! That is outstanding, and I could not be

more proud of the work we’ve all done as a team! The Eliminate Pro-

ject Committee has set a goal of $25,000 for the New York District

Key Club and so far we have raised $3,549.00! So, keep up all the

good work, and be proud to be part of such a hardworking District!
