DISTRICT CONVENTION @ OCEAN PLACE RESORT AND SPA
ROARIN’ YEAR OF SERVICE The 67th New Jersey District Convention was, without a doubt, a event to be remembered. With the eventful awards nights to the ever so interesting workshops, Key Clubbers enjoyed their whole weekend getting recognized for all their hard work and learning even more about the organization.
It’s hard to keep track of all that happened within those three days and two nights but here’s a short summary of what happened in those sixty hours that almost seven hundred Key Clubbers gathered at the Ocean Place resort and Spa from April fifth to April sev-enth:
Final Reports | District Convention included several sessions where the lieutenant governors gave out their final reports to the New Jersey District and overall summarizing the service year for the New Jersey District of Key Club International. The final fundraising goal and progress on the ELIMINATE project was re-vealed.
Awards Night | Key Clubber members and their clubs received awards based on their ef-forts throughout the service year. From the Golden Member award which honored distin-guished members to the Big Ten Award con-gratulating club based on membership increase,
the plethora of awards recognized many and motivated Key Clubbers in the future to try harder and try to win them in the future.
Workshops | Key Clubbers got to acquire many new skills from learning how to do a modernized Roaring Twenties dance to learn-ing how to apply the Brand Guide towards Key Club related media. Workshops gave District Convection an educational aspect.
Spirit Stick | Clubs really got to show their divisional spirit when seven hundred Key Club-bers cheered on their lieutenant governor to try and win the spirit stick.
67th ATTENDEES

Dear New Jersey District Board, Every board member has to make a minimum of ten newsletter through-out the service year. Although they might be tedious for many, I am proud to say I like to make them. Board agendas and minutes are, without a doubt, paperwork—but to me newsletters are different. Despite the time that they are time consuming and ultimately take a lot of hard work in order not. They allow me to express creativity but also be put my creativity to practical use by putting vital information into newsletter format. It’s like a blank canvas that I can design and show what Key Club is all about. I’m sure that if all the lieutenant governors allow for enough time to make newsletters, it would be just as enjoyable as it is to me. My message to you is to start and so you won’t regret it later; don’t procrastinate! Yours in Caring and Service, Pak Chau 2013-2014 New Jersey District Editor New Jersey District of Key Club International Egg Harbor Township High School Key Club

THE GREAT GATSKEY During District Convention, there were also two dances. The first dance was a casual dance starting with a party like atmosphere and carrying on fro there. Loud speakers played pop and house music while strobe lights flashed wildly. Overall the dance resembled a night club—needless to say it was a club… a Key Club. Saturday night’s dance was formal with all the New Jersey District Board members dressed in their formal attire and ready to be bid off. Key Clubbers had the opportunity to bid on the members by placing tickets that were set at one dollar each. The winners could then slow dance with the board member that they bid on for a song. There was slight romance in some cases while others were pure awkwardness. The tension broke as soon as the short song was over and the dance reverted back to a reenactment of the Friday night club-styled party dancing.

THINGS TO PUT IN NEWSLETTERS AND HOW TO USE THE BRAND GUIDE
Making newsletters can be overwhelming. Questions like what to put in it might arise. The answer is simple; basically anything that is Key Club-related can be used in a newslet-ter. For example, some things a newsletter could contain include: These are just some ideas that could be used throughout a newsletter. Apart from those, there can also be some others so be creative. Make a section called something like “Meet the Neighbors” to introduce neighboring divisions or even start a whole page full of photos! The possibilities are end-less. It is always important to keep in mind that proper gram-mar, syntax , spelling and diction should be used through-out the newsletter.
