our immediate past
Lieutenant Governor,
Amanda Parks, for doing such
an amazing job. My home
club has grown enormously
because of her never ending
efforts, and I am sure that she
had been responsible for the
growth of all the clubs in our
division. Not only was she the
best LTG we could have
hoped for, but she was a
committed friend and
trustworthy role model.
However, there is no reason to
miss her and her effortless
humor because she will
always be a part of our family
and just a phone call away!
Thank you so much Amanda!
So, I hope you find this
newsletter and all it contains
helpful. Please read over all
the information in it, for you
will find it useful as the end of
the school year approaches
quickly! If you have any
questions, comments,
concerns, or you just want to
talk, I am always here to listen
with open ears!

Official Newsletter of Division 2 /New Jersey District of Key Club International
Hey There Division 2! Hello everyone! It’s
Thuyvan Luu, your newly
elected Lieutenant Governor
for the 2010-2011 service year.
I am currently a junior at
Winslow Township High School
and I am more than excited
to introduce myself in our new
official publication! I am a
past Key Club President and
enjoyed it so much that I was
inspired to run to become
your new LTG. Outside of Key
club, I participate in flied
hockey and lacrosse, and
various activities such as
Student Government and
Peer Mediation. So, don’t be
afraid to ask me anything
because I’m sure we can
relate on a level other than
Key Club.
Are you excited for this
service year? Well, I hope you
are, but if you aren’t, it’s still
early. As your LTG, I hope to
increase everyone’s
dedication and excitement
over the year by providing as
many wonderful opportunities
for you as I can.
At his time, I would like
to thank and congratulate
CMRFs are due
every 10th of
the month!

Rosters What is a roster,
anyway? A roster is a list of
every officer, faculty advisor, and Kiwanis advisor’s contact
information. They provide all the information necessary to make a
pathway of communication, which is
vital in our Division! Communication leads to more opportunities for you
to participate in all Divisional activities and
events and provides you with all the countless services the district can
provide for your club! In short, rosters help me help
you, so please help yourself and compile your club’s roster now.
Rosters are due
Friday, June 4th! Here is
what you need to fill out in the attachment I have sent you: position in club, name,
full address, cell phone
number, home phone
number, most often
checked email address,
grade for the 2010-2011
school year, and gender. Please email me
that information at
[email protected] by the due date: Friday, June
4th. Let me know right away if any questions or problems arise!
CMRFs
CMRF stands for
Club Monthly Report Form and is just one of the numerous Key Club
acronyms you will be learning, if you have not
already! This is how your Lieutenant Governor finds out what your club has
been doing over the last month. It includes information on your
meetings, events, and dues.
If your club is having trouble, CMRFs will be and useful indicator; do not be
ashamed if your club is having difficulties because
I will be able to help, based on your CMRF. CMRFs also recognize clubs that are
doing well because it will show, so no matter what,
CMRFs are necessary. They are due every 10th of the month and
should report on the activities that have taken place in the month before.
The May CMRF is due on
June 10th but can be
turned in starting on June 1st. CMRFs should always
be sent to your me,
Lieutenant Governor (see
my contact information),
the District Secretary Kevin
Sun, our Zone Administrator
Matthew Guenther, and
your Kiwanis club advisor.

LEADERSHIP
3
Hello everyone! First, I must congratulate you
all on your newly elected
positions. Clearly you all have
demonstrated extraordinary
leadership, citizenship, and a
passion for service and Key
Club! I have faith in all of you
and your abilities to help carry
out a successful Key Club
service year for 2010-2011. The first important step to
begin a successful service
year begins with being
trained. All newly elected
officers are required to attend
Regional Training
Conferences (RTCs) in order to
attend sessions which will help
better their leadership roles
and clarify their duties in their
club. We hope to also have your Advisors join us, for a
workshop/meeting with Mr.
Barrie Werfl, the NJ District
Administrator. Also,
remember that RTCs are open to general members. Here, at RTCs, you will have
the experience to meet the
New Jersey District Board and
attend workshops which will
help you have a better
understanding of your position
as well as workshops that will
help spice up your meetings,
stir some new ideas for
projects, and a great
opportunity to meet new Key
Clubbers! Because the board
knows that we all hail from
different schools that could
be far away from each other,
the RTCs are broken up into
three parts: North, Central,
and South. There are RTCs
held in the Spring and Fall.
They take place on Saturdays
and Sundays. This year’s RTC theme is “Rock
Out with Service!” At the RTCs, you will learn how to amplify
your service year, become a
rockin’ leader, and let your
voices be heard! The Spring RTCs will take place
on the following days at these
locations: Saturday, May 22nd: South RTC
@ Brick Memorial HS Sunday, May 23rd: North RTC @
Morris Knolls HS Registration begins at 9 a.m.
and the training will end at 1
p.m. for both RTCs. Breakfast
and lunch will be provided! Note: There will NOT be a
Central RTC this Spring. If you can’t make either of
these, have no fear because
there will be RTCs in
September as well. Please contact RTC Co-Chairs
Thuyvan Luu ([email protected]) or
Meagan Koch
([email protected]) for any
questions, comments, or
concerns.
Get ready to rock and
make this service year
your greatest hit!
Yours in Caring and in
Service,
Gabrielle Gutierrez Lieutenant Governor of
Division 21

The 64th Annual District Convention of the New Jersey District of Key
Club International was overflowing with dedicated
Key Clubbers all gathering together to travel the world of service from one Service
Year to another! From awesome sessions with the
2009-2010 NJ District Board to two amazing dances, there was never a dull
moment at the Valley Forge Convention Center
for DCON! We arrived on Friday
ready to begin our journey
through the world of service. Almost 700 Key Clubbers and I had the distinct honor of meeting
our Keynote Speaker Kiwanis International President Paul Palazzolo. It
was amazing to see such a high ranking and wise
Kiwanian in person. After the welcoming session we all went to
caucuses to hear the candidates’ speeches.
Each candidate was very creative and excited to be running for an Executive
Board position! Saturday was by far
the busiest day of the weekend. We woke up early for breakfast and
then attended the first general session of the day. After this quick session we headed to our workshops and learned about
everything from how to be an effective club editor to how to belly dance. After
the workshops were a few free hours in which the
talent show took place. The acts were inspired as they are every year; the amount
of talented Key Clubbers is amazing! Also on Saturday,
the House of Delegates met to vote on Executive Board races, amendments,
and resolutions. On Saturday
evening, the contests winners were given their
trophies and the outstanding members of
the New Jersey District were acknowledged for
their hard work and dedication.
On Sunday, there was a walk to benefit
Children’s Specialized Hospital hosted by our own
Brick Memorial High School. The Farewell Session on
Sunday is both sad and happy simultaneously; sad
because it is the time when the current district board is
retired, but happy because it is also the time when the
new district board is installed. Your 2010-2011
New Jersey District Board includes: Twenty-one
Lieutenant Governors; District Webmaster --
Shivam Patel; District Editor--Nicole Darrah; District
Treasurer--Devan
