Greetings Brooklynites! I hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer! School has long since started and I hope that everyone has gotten into the habit of their daily routine! We will still be holding many division events as the school year progresses. With the release of our new divisional website, http://bit.ly/QJOyDv , it will be easier to connect with us all. We had our October divisional on Oct. 3rd at Murrow High School. I would like to thank everyone who attended for being a wonderful audience. To those who did not attend, there will be plenty of opportunities later on to attend more divisionals and to meet not only me but also your fellow key club members in other schools in Brooklyn. I would also like to thank everyone for attending the summer events! I know that many are you are very busy but I am honored that you chose to be here with us. You guys deserve a round of applause for keeping up with your key club loyalty! Keep up the good work guys! You make me proud! Yours in Service, Helen Wong Division 9 LTG

Youth Opportunities Fund YOF, also known as the Youth Opportunities Fund is an endowed fund for Key Club International held within the Kiwanis International Foundation. The fund allows Key Clubs and their members to serve the world, have fundraisers, and other great things by providing grants for service opportunities. Clubs are allowed to apply for these funds if necessary to assist their club’s functioning and to help them accomplish things that they want to do like raise money for Eliminate, host a local senior center dance, etc. You too can apply for these funds. Clubs may request funding assistance anywhere from $100 to $2000. Applications for the Youth Opportunities Fund are due by Monday, October 15. You will find out whether or not your club has received the grant no later than January 15th. Remember to ask reasonably and be considerate, because there are many clubs out there that need these grants too. I hope this will be a helpful resource for your club this year and for the years to come. For more information, please follow the links provided.
