We are Thailand! (For DCON) Key Club International truly is an international organization, with branches in over 30 nations across the globe! This year’s annual District Convention theme is “Destination: Service.” As such, each division has been assigned a country to represent them at the convention. This will be the identifier for where to sit during convention and such. Division 16 has received the country of Thailand!

Introducing...Your new Division 17 Lieutenant Governor Elect Jae Shin Hi my name is Jae Y. Shin and after District Convention, I will be the LTG of Division 17! (Don’t worry about what the Y stands for). I’ll just talk about a few of my interests and my plans as soon to be lieutenant governor. I am currently a junior at Tenafly High School and I love to do almost everything but my main interests (other than Key Club) would be music, art, fitness and of course, eating. Once fully established into position, my first plan is to attempt visiting each of the school’s within the division to check out the Key Clubs. This is going to be incredibly difficult because some school’s will try to place a restraining order on me should I come unannounced. My ultimate goal is to be able to convince the specialized school boards to permit their Key Clubs to be in contact with International and of course to strengthen the division as a whole by promoting communication between the clubs in general. I can’t wait to work with you all!

Newsletter Title

Key Club Scholarships 2014 Scholarships are awarded to senior Key Clubbers who exemplify dedication to serving the children of the world and uphold the objects of Key Club International during high school. The over 15 available scholarships range from $1000 to $2000. Applicants only need to apply once to be eligible for all of the scholarships.

In order to apply, download the complete Scholarships Packet at: http://njkeyclub.org/ Fill out the Application Information Sheet. On a separate sheet of paper, list involvement in Key Club projects. Then, provide a summary of any outside service. On a separate sheet of paper, give a brief description of your most important academic or extra-curricular achievement unrelated to Key Club. Write a two-page essay about a memorable Key Club Service Project. All of the above should be typed or hand-written in blue or black ink neatly. Obtain letters of recommendation and remember no letter may be from a family member. Have an advisor fill out the Advisor Verification Form. Refer to the packet for complete instructions.

Mail this entire packet by February 14th, 2014 to the address listed below. Once the applications are received, a committee of Kiwanians reads through the applications. The main criteria these Kiwanians focus on are that the entire packet is complete, the essay, and the letters of recommendation.

The essay and the other descriptions are the applicant’s opportunity to tell the committee who he/she is, what he/she has done in and out of Key Club, how he/she got involved, his/her motive for doing community service, and how he/she benefitted from the service. These personal portions of the packet are where the applicant can show how Key Club has developed the applicant’s leadership skills and how the applicant has benefited from the leadership opportunities that Key Club provides, such as Key Leader.

Please feel free to contact Elizabeth Wallace with any questions or concerns. Mail the packet to: Key Club Scholarships c/o Elizabeth Wallace 22 Davidson Rd. Bloomfield, NJ 07003 elizabeth.wallace.ltg17@gmail.com 973-934-7584

Hi Everyone!

Thank you all for taking the time to read my fifth edition of QuirKEY. I hope that you all enjoyed it! After reading through the basic descriptions of all the positions, you still have questions feel free to contact me at ltgerik@gmail.com or any other form of communication that is comfortable for you. Also, you do not have to be an officer of your Key Club to run for Lieutenant Governor or District office. Any passionate member is eligible and encouraged to run. Before the elections I would also like to plan club visits so I will be emailing you all soon about that. Look forward to my next newsletter issue and as always, have a splendiferous day!
