Letter from your District Treasurer
Hello NJ Key Club Treasurers! IT’S APRIL, in fact today is the last day of the service year. As I sit in my hotel room at Ocean Place Resort and Spa, I just wanted to thank you all for the dedicated service you have all donw this past service year. It is because of all of you that I consider myself incredibly lucky to be District Treasurer. As I am going to be retired later today, I want all of you to know thatyou can feel free to reach out to me with any and all related key club questions in the future or contact your new District Treasurer, who will soon be just an annoying as I was. Thank you for an amazing year. You were all fabulous! -District Treasurer Ciara Clarkin

Whille these totals are not completed currently, they will be under the District Treasurer. Thank you for working so diligently to make sure your clubs were paid this past service year .
DCON District Convention this weekend has been one of the most memorable experiences of my entire life. District Conventionis a one in a lifetime experience. You are on a beach, in a fancy hotel, with 600 key clubbers all ready to celebrate service and get down at the dances. This is the place where the Executive District Board is elected and where all of you receive awards for your mighty contribution to service. This is truly not an event you want to miss. Scholarships, walks to fight hunger, workshops and free time in pier village, there is nothing better than DCON. IF you or anyone else is interested in information regarding DCON or International Convention definitely fee free to reach out to me!
