President’s Message
Hey Key Clubbers,
Welcome to the service year of 2012-2013! As your new president, I will
do everything I can to make this a successful one. Our district project
this year supports the wonderful Eliminate Project; we are continuing
to fight maternal/neonatal tetanus in countries around the globe. (It
costs only $1.80 to save a life). So get ready for a year full of saving lives
while having fun! Without further ado, please continue reading the
rest of the newsletter by our new editor, Aleena!

DCON Recap (cont)
Eliminate Project Fundraising Total 2011-
2012 Service Year: $97,000.
2012—2013 District Governor—Nicole Ventrone
Congrats! This past service year, all of New Jersey joined together to raise
$97,000 for the Eliminate Project. After exceeding well beyond anyone’s
expectations, it’s safe to say that this past year has been an extremely suc-
cessful one. Pat yourself on the back New Jersey and keep up the good
work! Make it your goal to do even more this year. It’s your time to prove
that you can do even better than last year.

2012-2013 District Project
Together, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have start-
ed the fight to end maternal and neonatal tetanus all over
the world. The disease plagues the lives of thousands and
causes excruciating amounts of pain and suffering.
Over 100 million mothers and their future children
must be immunized in order to eliminate MNT from our
planet. This requires $110 million (US) as well as all of our
hard work and effort. Join together to help gather $1.80 for
one immunization. Less than $2 can save a life.

Krupa demonstrated her devotion to Key Club
