August 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 en-
courage you to keep serving
your communities and engag-
ing with Key Club. The district
has many ways for you to do
just that, whether it’s attending
International Convention 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
As the service year becomes closer every
day, we get ready to serve for the next year.
We are working on plans for what to do for
the next year and are excited to help serve
our community and to give others the
chance to do so as well. We will be attending
the Freshman Orientation on August 25. We
are very excited to see what the next year
holds for our club and we are very ready to
our community as much as we can.
The Officers
My name is Brad Lanza. I
joined Key Club as a
sophomore. I saw a com-
mercial on the announce-
ments and thought, "that
looks like an actually fun
club". I attended the first
meeting that year and
didn't know any one there,
but it's ok because I then
was able to meet and
make friends with more
people. This year, I hope
that I can help other peo-
ple in the club meet kids
from other grades that
they can be comfortable
to talk to in the hallways
and outside of school. I'm
looking forward to a great
and promising year for the
HC Key Club!
My name is Owen Ly-
ons. My sophomore
year I decided to join
key club to put on
my résumé. However,
soon it became evi-
dent that key club
was more than just
something to write
down. This club let me
to put time for others,
which opened my
eyes to the real
world.
My name is Emily
Wang. I recently joined
Key Club this year, be-
coming secretary of
the club. What I love
about being apart of
Key club is being able
to help out my com-
munity.
My name is Michael
Bogart. I've been in
Key Club since I was a
sophomore, and it has
the best times I have
had in high school. This
club lets you to make
new friends and it al-
lows you to help peo-
ple in your community.
I don't think a club can
better than Key Club is.
My name is Sean
Quinn. I’ve been in
Key Club since begin-
ning high school. I first
joined because I
thought it would look
good. I then learned
that I love being in
Key Club and now I
go to all kinds of Key
Club events.

New Jersey District
This year the New Jersey District has a new
focus. We are going to be working with
food banks to get food to people who
don’t have any or anyone who needs it.
Our district is going to be working closely
with the NORWESCAP Food Bank. They
are part of the 5 food banks in the Food
Bank Federation that we as a district are
helping. Our fundraising goal is $90,077.85
and our total hour of service goal is 18,630
hours. The District Board has put big goals
in front of us but if we
work as a district we will
accomplish the goals.
RTCs
Each year, our district holds different RTCs
(Regional Training Conferences). They have
different sessions that teach about everything
Key Club. They have a new theme every year
and this years theme is pumping up the vol-
ume of service. They are run by out District
Board and they supply lunch. The Spring RTCs
have already passed but there will be three
more RTCs this fall. They take place at Millburn
High School on September 19th, Phillipsburg
High School on September 13th, and West
Deptford High School on September 12th.
These aren’t just for the officers, they are for all
Key Club members. You can meet new peo-
ple, expand you knowledge on Key Club ,and
have a good time.
Fall Rally
Fall Rally is a fun event that takes place at Six Flags
Great Adventure. It is the largest event of Key
Clubbers in the state. It doesn’t involve service.
Everyone who goes gets to hear the District talk for
a bit and then you get to go do whatever you
want to do in the park. This year the district board
will be in the theme of Dr. Seuss. They will dress up
as different characters for the time they talk. The
cost of Fall rally is $37 for early registration and $41
dollars for late and it takes place on October 11.
It’s always fun and highly recommended that you
go and have fun.
Key Club International
Now that ICON has passed, Key Club Inter-
national already is going ahead. They
announced that since we didn’t reach our
goal for Eliminate, Key Club International
has pledged another 5 years to the
Eliminate Project. The New International
Board will carry out this new pledge to the
Eliminate Project in a whole new way that
will only build upon what we have done in
the previous years with Eliminate. We also
now have our new International trustee
Kacie Hines.
