Hello Everyone! Welcome to my second publication of gLAM with Division 22 of the 2018-2019 service year. I hope you are enjoying your December month so far! I can't believe 2018 is already over! 2019 will be a good year, so we have to continue our Key Club grind! At club meetings, make sure there are fun activities and service projects to engage members into Key Club! DCON is 3 months away, so start preparing now! You all deserve recognition for the work you've done so far. Remember to attend elections and sign up for the volleyball tournament! It is essential to respond to my texts so that I can help you guys out efficiently. Please take your time to read this issue to see what I have to say. I hope you all enjoy! Thank you :)
Likes: Polaroids, Iconic vines, Owl City, Rainbow Rowell Dislikes: Paper cutting art, changing batteries, putting away the Christmas tree :( Fun Fact: I sewed Lammy’s outfit using old fabric and pink string because I ran out of white (oops)
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/ )

Dues

Dues are essential to keep Key Club thriving. Not only do dues give us opportunities to attend district and international events and to apply for senior scholarships,
Please make sure you are communicating with your advisor about collecting dues and update me on when you will be sending the dues in! Dues of $13.50, $7.00 for Key Club but they also help fund club events!
International and $6.50 for New Jersey Key Club

There will be a Divisional Council meeting (DCM) right after our divisional volleyball tournament and LTG elections. Dates and locations are listed in the next few pages! All officers MUST attend a DCM, so I can train you guys and inform you all of any important news from the District level. To be distinguished at District Convention 2019, you have a responsibility to attend my DCMs and be honored in front of hundreds of Key Clubbers across New Jersey. Please send 1-2 representatives from your club! General members and advisors are welcomed :D

Elections will be in the Riker Room at Jefferson Township Public Library on Saturday, January 12, 2019, from 1-3 pm. Every club MUST attend!

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 5-10 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

Key Leader RECAP

Key Leader this year was in Lebanon NJ from November 30th to December 2nd. It was an amazing experience for both newcomers and returning Key Clubbers! We were split into different teams or "houses" and all bonded with our teams very well. We participated in team bonding activities, such a noodle fights, blindfolded maze races, etc. Whether you attend with your friends or by yourself, you will for sure meet some of the kindest people! I hope to see a higher attendance from our division at DCON!
