EHT KEY CLUB OLYMPICS! The first EHTHS Key Club Olympic was held in 2009 under the presidency of Marizela Perez. It has now been five years since then, and the Key Club Olympics will experience a revival to end the 2012-2013 term and welcome the new 2013-2014 officers and key clubbers of EHTHS. On Tuesday, June 4th 2013 at Tony Canale Park, the committee chairs of the Special Events Committee will be hosting the Olympics. They have spent weeks preparing games, such as volleyball tournaments and tug of war, for everyone. Also at the Olympics, the Preferred Charities Committee is celebrating ELIMINATE week by selling baked goods, refreshments, decorate-able ELIMINATE headbands, ELIMINATE bracelets, and painted handprints for our own ELIMINATE banner. First place will receive trophies, but at the end of the day, the event is to reward all the hardworking key clubbers and for the key cubs of Division 1b to make good memories that will last a lifetime.

Yours in Caring, Love, and Service Vi Nguyen 2013-2014 EHTHS Key Club President THE KEY TO 1B | JUNE 2013 | VOLUME 1 ISSUE 2 | PAGE 6

Spring South RTCs Recap On May 11th, the Spring South RTCs were held at Cedar Creek High School. Key Clubbers from all over New Jersey came to attend workshops about different officer positions, fundraising tips and so much more.

The morning started with an introduction of all district positions and a breakfast. A 60 second brain quest to list as many elements, dinosaurs and more was a great way of getting Key Clubbers to know each other. After a few sessions of workshops, we came back to the cafeteria for a great lunch and tons of pictures.

All officers must attend at least one RTC in their term, if you missed this one don’t fret! There will be another in September where you can learn all about Key Club and get pumped for the next school year.
