This year, LTC will occur on March 30th to April 1st and we're expecting record numbers of Key Clubbers. Join in on a weekend full of workshops, elections, dances, a talent show, and tons of opportunities to socialize with Key Club members from all over the state. Be there to usher in a new service year, as well as run for higher office or share a vote in determining the new District Board. LTC is an unforgettable chance to learn, have fun, and most importantly, celebrate the values of service that we all aspire to!
INTERNATIONAL NEWS BE PART OF KEY LEADER 2012
This could be your New Year’s resolution: to be part of Key Leader. Key Leader is a weekend experience that teaches high school–age students like you about leading by serving. After these talks, workshops and team building exercises, participants leave the weekend with newly-formed friendships, renewed self-awareness, a heart for service and confidence in their own leadership abilities. Start by finding events near you. You’ll find the Key Leader schedule for 2012 online. Then add some of those dates to your brand-new 2012 calendar. Check back often as the list is updated regularly.

KEY Clubber of JANUARY What does it mean to be “Key Clubber of the Month”? We give out this award each month to a particular key club member who has made the most impact on our club for that month. In order to get this award you have to attend events, and participate. We want to see someone who is actively helping and contributing to their community. But we also want to see someone who is representing Brooklyn Tech, and most importantly, key club. This member should be the role model for other members.
THIS COULD BE YOU!
