The Jersey Key is the official publication of the New Jersey District of Key Club International. Each service year, three issues are released. In 2010 at the 64th New Jersey District Conven-

tion, the House of Delegates voted that only one issue of The Jersey Key could be printed each year. The District Bulletin Editor is responsible for creating The Jersey Key and is elected

into office at District Convention. To submit articles to The Jersey Key, email the District Bulletin Editor at [email protected].

THE JERSEY KEY March 2012

NOW WE’RE WALKING THE BOARDWALK OF Service. Can you feel the excitement? Here at the Ocean Place Resort & Spa in Long Branch, New Jersey, you’ll be able to experi-ence one of the greatest events a New Jersey Key Club member could ever enjoy–the 66th Annual New Jersey Key Club District Con-vention. From electing new district executive offi-cers, to meeting your upcoming lieutenant governors for the new service year–from in-formative workshops full of information like scholarships and how to obtain financial aid for college to winning contests that your club applies for–you’ll experience a weekend like no other, and that’s coming from me – some-one who’s attended three New Jersey District Conventions. But more than just the district board de-serves recognition. I’d like to thank every advisor, every president, every officer, and most importantly all 10,000 Key Club mem-bers in this district for all that you’ve done. You all dedicate countless hours to fundrais-ing for the Eliminate Project, commit your Saturday mornings to cleaning up that one really messy area in your town, and so much more. You are all the base of this organiza-tion, you’re the reason Key Club is the larg-est and most successful high school service-leadership organization in the world, and I cannot thank each and every one of you enough for that. I ask that you all continue to keep up the great work and all that you do for your homes, schools, and communities. Remem-ber that caring is our way of life. Yours in caring, service, and friendship,

Welcome to

Convention!

Union High School Meet the District Convention Host Club

UNION IS BEST KNOWN FOR ITS HISTORY—the location of the Hannah Caldwell house and the location of a Civil War battle. How-ever, Union is also known for its strong and active Key Club, the host club of the 66th New Jersey District Convention this year. “My first thoughts were, ‘Oh my gosh! They actually con-sidered us to host,’ which I believe is such a big deal, huge oppor-tunity, and a blessing,” said Club President Nicole Gradeza. “Out of the numerous Key Clubs in New Jersey, we were asked. I was so

ecstatic and even more excited for District Convention.” Union was started by the Union Kiwanis, but unfortunately the Kiwanis dissolved, and

the Union Key Club was left to support themselves. Union has continued to be one of the strongest clubs in Division 14. With two amazing advisors, great officers, and over 100 mem-

bers, Union continues to shine and is look-ing forward to walk the boardwalk of service with the rest of New Jersey.

“My first thoughts

were, ‘Oh my gosh!

They actually consid-

ered us to host!’” President Nicole Gradeza

THIS SERVICE YEAR HAS BEEN chockfull of fundraisers. Please check out some of this year’s high-lights for a year-in-review! Divisional dances Last June, Divisions 13 and 15 dance raised money for Elimi-nate. Dances are also always a fun way to learn more about your division! From a winter wonder-land event to a more formal af-fair, each dance was simply a ball. Restaurant nights With food, friends, and fun, what more can you ask for? A restau-rant night is a quick and easy way to raise money for the Eliminate Project. Project Showcase This service year Key Clubbers had the exciting opportunity to

support the Eliminate Project, with a brand-new district event: Project Showcase: Saving Lives Through Talent. Project Showcase was a talent competition with relatively no

restrictions on the act performed. Whether you sang, danced, or even did a few magic tricks, you were welcomed to display your talent for your fellow Key Club-

bers. The New Jersey District first held a round of Project Showcase events around the state. Once the winners from these divisional/co-divisional talent shows were estab-lished, the New Jersey District hosted a statewide show on Feb-ruary 11. With acts ranging from hip-hop groups to violinists, there was an act to please all! And most notably, this combination of Showcase events brought in thou-sands of dollars for the Eliminate Project! From divisional events to clubs fundraisers, the New Jersey Dis-trict did a wonderful job of sup-porting a brand new district focus–the Eliminate Project. Great job, New Jersey!

THIS SERVICE YEAR, THE NEW Jersey District Board decided to run a series of talent shows to support the Eliminate Project. The district-wide round of Pro-ject Showcase: Saving Lives Through Talent took place on Saturday, February 11, 2012, at Millburn High School. As the show went on, the com-petition got increasingly intense. Small World Cru from Millburn and Rillistic Dance Crew fired up the audience, and the Lobaton Project, Konya Badsa, and Ed-ward Lin all brought pleasure to our ears. Ultimately, the decision was made by our esteemed judges: District Administrator Ed Hut-chinson, Zone Administrator Jeanne Hagen, and Katrina Badiola, a renowned dance direc-tor.

After much deliberation, singer Ace Taylor and Rillistic Dance Crew tied for third, guitarist Mar-tin Del Prado got second place, and pianist John Franek took home $100 for first place! John said, "To me, showcase is such a wonderful thing because not only do you get to meet a lot of new and friendly people and see some great acts and talent but the money all goes to a great cause at the same time, which is primarily what made my experi-ence at the projects showcase as wonderful as it was." Needless to say, the show was a great success and the NJ District Board is proud to say that we have raised over $1300 with the state-wide round alone, and over $8000 through all divisional rounds, collectively!

LAST YEAR, YOU HAD THE power to choose the four execu-tives to lead our district. This year, you, again, have the power to vote for your 2012-2013 New Jersey District Executive Board. The positions include Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Bulletin Editor. All candidates have been trained at the Midwinter Training Conference earlier in March and have put forth their best efforts at

presenting their candidacy. Before making your decision, you must first consider the duties that are required of every District Executive Board member. Check the candidates booklet at convention for a short description of their duties. During DCON, the best way to get to know the candidates for each position is to ask them ques-tions during caucusing on Friday night.

Though creative questions like, “If Key Club were a kitchen appli-ance, what would it be?” can re-veal character, you may want to ask questions that reveal a candi-date’s leadership more. The time limit for the question round at caucusing on Friday night is short, so ask carefully! Best of luck exercising your power to vote!

HAVE YOU EVER PONDERED on the subject, “Where does the time fly to?” It seems just like the other day I took over as administrator. Then I look back to all that has happened, and I am amazed what this Key Club board and district has accomplished. This board has done a wonderful job fulfilling their duties, from helping the clubs they are assigned to, to preparing and executing their plans for Midwinter, District Convention, and fundraising. I sure hope each of you, students and adults, had the pleasure to attend one of the Key Club Project Showcases for Eliminate Project. I had the privilege to attend the finals at Mill-burn High School. It was a last minute opportunity, but I am so glad I could. We are blessed with so much talent that these stu-dents have, and we get to enjoy and hold dear the experience that their talent offers us. I wish all could have won first place because they are worth it. Next is Key Club International Convention in Orlando, so start making your plans now if you want to attend. It is a great way to end this year and to start a new one. I have enjoyed working with Governor Nicole and her board and my thanks go to them for their work and friendship. They have done a wonderful job running this great district. You all should be proud for your accomplishments. I want to take this time to thanks the Key Club Committee—Anthony, Kaitlin, Marie, Jon, Ron, Laura, and Rob—for their work and desire to help the board and clubs. It is a team effort, and next year we will be a stronger team as we all learn to work together with our new knowledge under our belt. I also want to thank the volunteers—Steve, Jeanne, Matt, and Barrie and Celeste—that stepped forward to help me and the com-mittee to prepare for Midwinter and the conventions.

Where will International

Convention 2014 be?

How the year did fly! Your International Board has been working to improve our organization. The Translation Applica-tion was revised, we instituted new awards, and also approved new practices for International Conven-tion. Last January, the board met in New Orleans. In-ternational officers from Kiwanis and Circle K were there too, and it was nothing less than a jubilant time! I have a question to ask you all. Have you ever performed a service project with a nearby club? If not, maybe you should try! To get a better idea of clubs in your area, check out a map at my website at trustynick.com, and click the New Jersey District informa-tion tab. My parting message to you is never to forget the connection you have to each other. We are here out of the love we feel towards each other. Yes, we have a commitment to making a differ-ence, but we must remember to ask ourselves what that difference is. It is the difference we seek to make in the lives of our friends and neighbors, of those we love, that we pursue. So while the entire school begins to feel the effects of senioritis taking over, remember that your service must be as strong as ever, and we will have the power to move moun-tains. Thank you for all you have done. In caring and support, Nick DePorzio TRUSTEE TO THE OHIO, NEW JERSEY, AND NEW YORK DISTRICTS KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL

HERE ARE TWO PROGRAMS KEY CLUBS CAN sponsor or co-sponsor with Kiwanis to interact with elementary school students. Visit the Ki-wanis International website for more informa-tion.

Terrific Kids is a recogni-tion program that promotes character development, self-esteem and perseverance in elementary schools.

“Terrific” is an acronym for Thoughtful, En-thusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive, and Capable. Students in the program work together with their teachers to improve their behavior, schoolwork, and relationships.

Bring Up Grades (BUG) is another elementary school program. It is designed for students who raise and maintain their grades.

Ask your sponsoring Kiwanis if they would like to co-sponsor one of these programs with you. It’s a good opportunity to do fulfilling service to elementary school students, and also a way for you and your local Kiwanis to work to-gether.

"Don't take everything too seriously - you're still young

How Montville

organizes one of

the district’s

most successful

projects

BY JERRY ZHANG, LT. GOV. DIV. 19

FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS, MONTVILLE HIGH Key Club has hosted a volleyball tournament in February. Last year, there were 58 regis-tered teams, making the total amount raised almost $6500. “MTHS's Volleyball Marathon requires the help of over one hundred Montville Key Clubbers, months of coordi-nation and service, and the support of our local commu-nity,” says Montville’s Vice President Vishu Kumar. Students from surround-ing towns come, alumni come back to participate, and even teachers make teams. Most teams choose to make uniforms, and a DJ plays hit music. During the dinner break, a dance erupts in the middle of the gym floor. Setup starts months in advance as the club officers organize committees to cover every aspect of the tournament. Committees in-clude food, decorations, invitations, and pub-

lic relations. Below is a chart that outlines committees and sub-duties of each. Food is what makes the amount raised sky-rocket. Because this is a charity event, restau-rants are likely to donate free food to your event as long as you have their menu or busi-ness cards by the food. Some people come

solely for the food, so make sure there is plenty. Make sure to approach businesses with a letter or other legitimate documentation so they do not get the impression that you are just trying to get free food. It is a good idea to lay it out on a table and have people line up to be served.

Montville ran press releases in local newspa-pers and hung up flyers months in advance. Word of mouth from past participants helped publicize the event too. As for tournament setup, Montville had a single knockout bracket where any team that lost a game was eliminated, and the night

continued until there were eight teams. They broke to quarterfinals, semifinals, and then finals. The win-ning team of the entire tour-nament received $100. Ki-wanis got involved by being referees, serving food, and helping to publicize.

General members got involved by serving as doormen to prevent food from being brought into the gyms and also served snacks. A great way to increase turnout is to award points or hours for Key Club members that take part in the tournament. They can also help with set-ting up and cleaning.

Food, music, and member involvement

makes Montville’s annual volleyball tour-

nament successful

VOLLEYBALL MARATHON Last year, 58 teams competed in Montville’s event.

“The event is six hours of fun, entertainment, and

of course, some intense volleyball skills. After all

the trays of food are gone, the decorations taken

down, and the last volleyball is put away, it truly is

a night to remember.” Montville Vice President Vishu Kumar

Advice from the

Marine Academy

of Science and

Technology’s

club president

SERVANT-LEADERSHIP This past year, Liz McCormack was president of the Marine

Academy of Science and Technology Key Club, one of the strongest in the district.

BY KIMBERLY LU, DISTRICT TREASURER

Liz McCormack has always been a terrific

example of a service leader. After serving as

Lt. Governor of Division 8 during the 2010-

2011 service year, she decided to return to

her club to focus more of her leadership on

service.

With her bright smile, she was kind enough

to share what she learned from her experi-

ences as a member, a district officer, and a

club president.

Why did you step down

from running for a district

office in order to run for

club president? I really considered what would make me happiest and what has always made me happiest in the past is serving others with first-hand volunteering. I feel that Club President was a much more hands on role that allowed me to work one-on-one and alongside with my club members.

Do you feel like you ac-

complished what you had

hoped to accomplish as

president? Definitely. We have raised so much money for Eliminate, vol-

unteered so many hours for Chil-dren’s Specialized Hospital, and, along with the enhancements we have made, we’ve kept up our usual activities and spirit.

How did your term as lieu-

tenant governor help you

as club president? It taught me so much about man-aging time efficiently. As Lieuten-ant Governor, you were con-stantly busy and you constantly had something to work on. Club President is a little different. I know what to expect more. I know how to manage meetings, create agendas, and speak in front of others more comfortably. Now, I feel cooler under pressure.

What would you say is

your favorite service pro-

ject? My favorite service project is vol-unteering at the Tom’s River CSH. Being able to see the way Key Club affects the kids there is amazing because we’re really able to change their days. I think that the kids there really cherish being around others the same age as them and Key Clubbers also feel that impact.

What do you feel has

been your biggest Key

Club accomplishment? For the second year in a row, my Key Club held a successful pasta dinner to fund a child’s education

in Tanzania. Despite the pressure my members and I felt, it turned out to be wonderful. As an indi-vidual, I feel that I’ve grown as a leader.

Do you have any advice

for new presidents? I know that the role you’re taking on may see big and intimidating, but the rewarding aspect of the job trumps the obstacles you will face. If you have the same kind of wonderful advisor and supportive club that I have had, you are not doing it alone. You will have peo-ple helping you along the way.

DISTRICT


leadership

AS A LEADER IN YOUR CLUB and community, it’s important to be professional. Here are just a few points to keep in mind: Have a legitimate email

address. Communication through email is one of the primary ways a leader disseminate information. Be sure to have a professional name. For example, your first name and your year of birth. Avoid email addresses such as x 0 x b a b i i @ y a h o o . c o m o r [email protected]. Those emails leave a bad impression on the recipient and cause them to take you less seriously. Dress neatly to all occa-

sions. We may say to never judge a book by its cover, but honestly, we all do. This is not to say you have to wear luxury brands and have your hair professionally done at every event, but rather, be sure to dress cleanly and ap-propriately for the situation. Don’t dress in a sloppy manner as it affects others perception of your character. Behave. Every action you make reflects your own person, as well as your club. Your friends might be going to parties and engaging in unsafe behaviors such as underage drinking, but as a member of Key Club, you are expected to abstain from such actions. In Key Club, we treat you like adults and entrust you with many responsibilities, and in return, we expect you to act like adults.

BY AUDREY LEE, LT. GOV. DIV. 20

How to be

more

professional

AMONG THE CORE VALUES OF Key Club is inclusiveness, but in larger clubs it may seem harder to find a job for everyone, or even manage everything all at once. The simple solution is to create committees. Overseen by the Vice President, some common committees that can help organize projects and increase productivity are as fol-lows. Kiwanis-Family Relations com-mittee keeps contact with the rest of the local K-family who can help your club. Public Relations Com-mittee can work with the editor to make newsletters, publicize

events, create marketing cam-paigns and make Key Club stand out among other clubs. Program Committee is in charge of making sure members stay interested at meetings, that they stay informed, and may pre-sent interesting speakers, videos, or other entertainment as they see fit. Project Committee will plan and organize service projects which interest their club, such as organizing a visit to Children’s Specialized Hospital. Social Committee recognizes members for outstanding dedica-tion and work ethic, as well as organizing events such as dances

or talent shows. Membership Development which, as the name implies, recruits new members and shows the joy and accom-plishments offered by Key Club, often working with the Public Relations Committee. Though these are only a few current committees feel free to create your own and be creative with what your club needs most. By doing so you offer opportuni-ties for members to get involved, learn leadership through being a committee leader, and enjoy Key Club even more.

BY JOSEPH TOUMANIOS, LT. GOV. DIV 18

Use committees to involve all members in a

large club

Organize yourself early

Get a small filebox Keep a folder or binder just for Key Club work. Knowing where everything is will make things easier and you can pass down your work to the following offi-cers so they can use it as a refer-ence. Call your officers weekly If the officers aren’t communicat-ing, then how do you know the members are as well? Close offi-cers will get more accomplished

and don’t be afraid to ask each other for help or voice a new fundraising project! Update members through

Facebook groups and

Twitter Not everyone may come to a meeting check their emails as frequently as us Key Clubbers. If you don’t have one already create a Facebook page or Twitter ac-count, this will inform members of upcoming meetings and Key

Club events. Be a role model Past President Stephanie Huie says, “Dedication, commitment, and passion about Key Club and service are the most important tips you can receive. To be an officer of any group, you are the leader, so the officers should be the most enthusiastic, the most involved out of anyone and should be setting the example for others.”
