A Note From Your LTG

2 Page 2

Alexis Faison

Hello Division 1!

I am elated to be writing my first note to my division, and I am proud to be serving my clubs as the 2018 - 2019 Lieutenant Governor for Division 1. It is amazing how committed each of my clubs are, and I am ready to work with each and every one of you. You all inspire me each day to work harder in my term, making sure each club is giving back to our homes, schools, and communities. I hope you are excited as I am to begin working as one, creating service projects, working with our K-Family, and most importantly, creating new bonds that can never be broken. Let's all go into the service year with high spirits, goals, and wills to serve!

Thank you all!

Regional Training Conferences

LCMR at RTCs 2017

What are RTCs? RTCs, short for Regional Training Conferences, are a series of training conferences organized by the NJ District Board. All members of Key Club - general members, officers, and advisors alike are encouraged to attend When are RTCs? This year, Spring RTCs are being held at Lower Cape May Regional High School on May 12th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Warren Tech High School on May 13th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Fall RTCs are September 15, 16th, and 22nd, and the locations are TBD. What is the importance of RTCs? RTCs provide informative workshops regarding your respective position on the board, public speaking, information on the district project, and many more aspects of the Key Club service year. Each officer from each club MUST attend at least ONE RTC for their term to be distinguished at the end of the year.

So why should you go to RTCs? Attending an RTC can help you become more familiar with how Key Club branches from your school's club, to the New Jersey District level, and to Key Club International. You'll be able to get to know your 2018 - 2019 District Board and make friends with numerous other Key Clubbers around New Jersey through fun icebreakers.

Plus, we have free food! (And what's a Key Club event without free food?)

Meet the 2018-2019 NJ District Board!

DCON 2018 Recap

DCON 2018 was filled was laughter, memories, tears, and most importantly, service. We attended workshops, installed a new board for the  2018 -2019 service year, listened to an amazing keynote speaker, Mykee Fowlin, surpassed our goals for our District Project, Hunger in NJ, and so much more that I can't put into words. I would like to thank LCMR and Mainland for their attendance. DCON 2018 will always be remembered in the history books as another great one!
