Hello Everyone! Welcome to my fourth publication of gLAM with Division 22 of the 2018-2019 service year. I hope you are enjoying your February month so far! The service year is coming to an end next month! How crazy is that? At club meetings, make sure there are fun activities and service projects to engage members into Key Club! DCON is a month away, so start registering now! You all deserve recognition for the work you've done so far. It is essential to respond to my texts so that I can help you guys out efficiently. After elections, I would like to congratulate CJ Z. from Vernon! Great things will continue to happen. Please take your time to read this issue to see what I have to say. I hope you all enjoy! Thank you :)

Member Recruitment Want more students to join your club? Here are some ideas to recruit more potential Key Clubbers! Incentives: Have food out during meetings (everyone likes food!). Let people know of the benefits of being a Key Clubber (senior scholarships, service hours, attending fun conventions, etc.) Take advantage of every social media platform to let students know about upcoming meetings and project! Collaborate with another service-organization club (Interact, NHS, E.R.A.S.E, etc.) and attract some of their members to your Key Club Promote with flyers and announcements! The more publicity, the better! There are many resources online (ex: https://www.keyclub.org/resources/recruitmen t-posters/ )

On Saturday, February 2, we voted on our next Lieutenant Governor-elect for the 2019-2020 service year! His name is Colin (CJ) Ziabakhsh from Vernon Township HS. He is a current junior and is serving as President of his club. We wish you luck and that you will do an amazing job as the next LTG!
LTG D22 Elect Introduction
6
Hello! My name is Colin, or CJ, Ziabakhsh and I am the next LTG of Division 22. Throughout my years in the K-family, I’ve learned that getting involved is so valuable in a myriad of ways. When my younger brother was born, he had numerous medical conditions that severely impeded his life. After seeing people and organizations help my little brother in so many ways to get him through the numerous hospital stays happily, it has made me want to give back to the community to spread that care and kindness. From an early age, I knew I wanted to be part of an organization that could help me be the best person that I can be. Key Club fulfills that need to give back to my community. Key Club has become a family to me in its own way. I enjoy the time our school’s club has together, the activities that we organize, and the friendships that arise along the way.

CMRFs Club Monthly Report Forms are usually filled out by the club secretary. They are due on the 10th of every month. The CMRF is a 5-20 minute survey
where your secretary (or another officer, if needed) fills out a form describing everything your club has done within that month. This allows the New Jersey District Board to evaluate the improvement of your club and see if you need assistance with anything, or if your club can qualify for awards at DCON.

District Project The NJ District of Key Club International has declared Hunger in NJ as our District Project for the 2018-2019 service year yet again! The district collaborates with the NJ Federation of FoodBanks to help support food banks around the state. This federation services 5 main food banks across the state (as illustrated in the picture). You may be unaware about it, but 1 in 8 NJ residents rely on food banks. Hunger is a very serious problem, yet it can be overlooked in our very own state. Key Club will continue to aid with this problem, and that is why the district hour goal towards the NJ Federation of FoodBanks is 25,000 hours and a fundraising goal of $65,000. Continue to participate in activities, like the canned food drive in our school, as your contributions can assist in promoting our District Project, and help those in need.Â

Advocacy Focus The New Jersey District of New Jersey has chosen this year's advocacy focus to be
Sexual Harassment Prevention and
Awareness. Our goal is to raise awareness against Sexual Harassment. By doing so, we want to educate students, parents, and teachers about the effects, the signs, what to do, and when it crosses the line to sexual assault. We want to encourage students to speak up for themselves and eliminate myths (for example, sexual harassment only
create cards for sexual harassment victims and/or distribute teal ribbons to show that you are a supporter of ending sexual harassment. For more information on this, go to happens to girls). At club meetings, you can

DCON -Service Fair

and Club Spotlight Key Club is an international, student-led organization that provides members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership. Because of your dedicated service to your community, we highly recommend our DCON attendees to attend our service fair on March 30th (Saturday) from 2:30 - 5:30 pm, at the New Jersey Key Club’s District Convention at the Ocean Place Spa and Resort in Long Branch, NJ. Have the opportunity to discuss with different service organizations, and learn more about their specific service contributions to bring back home to your club! Your presence at the service fair would open new partnerships between your organization and Key Club and increase awareness towards various causes. We are hoping to increase the amount of hands-on service at this event. If you can attend, each organization booth will give you a raffle ticket (just have them write their names and clubs on the back) and service certificates. Raffle tickets will allow you to enter into our Key Club Swag contest where you can win our merch! Each service certificate will give you 0.5 hours of volunteer hours that you helped in a specific service project. We hope that you’ll consider attending our service fair this year! Please take some of your free time to visit these organizations that came to attend the 2019 NJ DCON, that way they will agree to work with us again next year! Additionally, we are looking for Key Clubs that hosted a successful service project during the 2018-2019 service year. Clubs interested can have their own booth during the club spotlight on March 30th (Saturday) from 11:00 - 11:30 am. Contact ltg22.lam@njkeyclub.org to sign up and get the opportunity to share your project in front of other Key Club attendees!
