October Edition
Lieutenant Governor’s Address
Hopefully you’ve been able to start off
your service year with a bang, and as
we transition from a school mindset to a
summer mindset, I’d like to encourage
you to keep serving your communities
and engaging with Key Club. The district
has many ways for you to do just that,
whether it’s attending International Con-
vention in late June or enrolling in the
Community Food bank of New Jersey’s
Teen Hunger Institute on July 29th, we’ve
provided a myriad of avenues for you to
stay involved. Until then, enjoy the rest of
the year!
Hunterdon Central Key Club
Now that we have had our first meeting this
year, we would like to welcome all the new
members. Our club does many activities with
people to further you time in service. People
who are in need of us Key Clubbers reach out
to use and us officers bring it up on meetings
to make sure you have lots of different
choices of things you can do.
The President
I joined Key Club as a sophomore because I
honestly had no idea what it was about. Little
did I know at the time that I would turn out
loving to help others. That just kept progressing
and only a few years later and I was the
president of key club. Volunteering to help
others through key club and just in my own
time has become a steady part of my life. I
only need about five volunteer hours per
month, but I usually end up with about twenty
-five instead. It gives me the chance to help
others even when they are not asking for help,
including random acts of kindness. Sometimes
after school, I just stop by one of my teacher’s
classrooms and ask them if they need help
doing anything, it brightens their days and at
the same time, mine also.
The President
Key Club has also given me the opportunity to meet
new people that I never would have dreamed of
meeting. I find it really cool to be connected within a
network of schools in division 13 with us. It is a really
cool experience to get to meet our counterparts
from the other schools we work with. through key
club, I was also able to get a pen pal from Florida. It
is something that I find really cool and completely
recommend doing if you get the chance, you can
talk about key club and overall just meet someone
new from a different part of the country. You can
learn so many life lessons through this club, even if
you do not have an officer position. You can also
meet so many close friends, as I have over the past
few years and you keep in touch with them after
they graduate. I hope to continue the success of the
Hunterdon Central Key Club and that it will inspire
other Red Devils to fall in love with volunteering like I
had the opportunity to do.
Our Activities
Right now we have many things lined up for us to
do. We have been handing out UNICEF boxes
since our first meeting. We still have more so if
you are interested in raising some money for
UNICEF email one of the officers. We are also
collecting gently used shoes to give to people
who need them. We are also helping at Haunted
High School. The set up is on Friday, October 30
after school and help participate in the event on
October 31. We will also be helping to set up a
Halloween Party at Whitehouse School. It will be
on October 30 from 6pm to 8:30pm. These are
just some things we are doing right now in our
club.
New Jersey District
This is a very busy time for the district of
New Jersey. With Fall Rally coming up
we have lots to look forward to. It is a
fun event and every one always has a
great time. There will also be Key
Leader in December with people all
over the district . Our district project
continues to be helping out food banks
to help end hunger in our state. Our dis-
trict is always doing something and you
can keep up with them at the website.

Key Leader
Key Leader is a life changes event with the entire
New Jersey District. You go for a week end and
have a good time while learning how to be a
leader and how you can work with others more
efficiently. This year it is taking place at Cross
roads Camp on December 4 through December
6. It cost $175 and we need it in by November 20
so we can send everything in and make sure you
get to go. There is only room for so many people
to go to this event so the sooner you sign up the
better.
Key Club International
Guyana is the newest country to join
our Key Club family. They have al-
ready started working hard on their
very own project called GrowGIA!
Their project won a single service
award at convention this past spring.
They are showing the world what it
means to be a true Key Club country.
