LT. Governor’s Greeting Hello Division 13! School has officially started! Here’s to another great year of service! As the school year begins, you should basically be already prepared to jump right into your events! By this time, you should have already had your first meeting and explained your future events to your club. Now you should be actively working towards organizing those events and making sure that you have everything prepared for them! Also, as you probably already know, Mile of Dimes has officially begun! Your club should have started collecting money from your club. You’ll be collecting money until November 14th, the day of the event. On that day, you will receive sheets of dimes according to the money that you bring in! You will then take those sheets and tape them to the railings at the Galleria. Remember, our goal is $10,560 total, or one mile of dimes! I’m sure that we can do it! In this update, I will be going over some major projects, a future divisional, information on division mascots, and a possible “Festival of Lights”!
Yours In Service, Lt. Governor Jeongseok (Daniel) Suh Division XIII New York District Key Club (845) 391- 6218 danielsuh.ltg@nydkc.org Address: 7 Massachusetts Dr. Newburgh, NY 12550

March of Dimes
March of Dimes What is March of Dimes? : March of Dimes is an organization that was founded by President Franklin Roosevelt, who had a personal struggle with polio. This led him to create the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, better known as the March of Dimes. The vaccines that were produced from this organization effectively ended epidemic Polio in the United States.
Current Mission: Eradicating premature birth: 11.4 percent of babies are born prematurely in the United States. These premature births cost society over $26 Billion a year, and premature babies are at risk of severe health problems and lifelong disabilities. Premature birth is the number one killer of newborns.
What we can do to help! : We will have a Mile of Dimes event on November 14th! You will have until that date to collect as many coins/bills (up to $5) as you can! Go to the division website for more information!

In-Depth Reminders Fall Rally When: October 10th , 2015 Time: 9:00 A.M. Where: NYU Global Center for Academic and Spiritual Life Price: $10 Who: Everybody!
This rally will be a huge one! Divisions 8 – 13 are all teaming up for one Fall Rally. Please inform your clubs as soon as possible.
Mile Of Dimes Mile Of Dimes is an event in which all of our clubs will come together to try to get one mile of dimes. There are 17 dimes in one foot, and 5,280 feet in one mile. If you round up to 20 dimes (for counting purposes), then we will need 105,600 dimes to achieve this goal! I'm sure we can do it! Your club will have two months to gather as much money as humanly possible. Afterwards, we will all meet at one central location (we're thinking the Galleria Mall), each school will place their dimes down in different directions, and we will see which school has collected the most dimes! The school with the most dimes will win a prize! We will not only be collecting dimes, but any amount of money up to $5 bills. On the day of the event, we will collect the money you raised, and then give you sheets with dimes printed on them. Please have your money separated into bags of either $2 or $10 before the event starts! ($2 = 1 sheet of 20 dimes, $10 = 5 sheets of 20 dimes) Where: The Galleria Mall (If we're allowed to use it) When: November 14th Collection Begins: As soon as school starts
The details for this event aren’t finalized yet, a to actually be able to do it, but I was really exc you g - Each club will buy / sell their own Sky Lanterns (can be to anybody : non-Key Clubbers, adults, Kiwanians, etc.) - The time frame to buy / sell Sky Lanterns will be approximately one month. -
Please note that this is not yet an actual planne
All proceeds will be do
and there are still lots of things I have to do for us cited for this event and I wanted to share it with guys! - On a TBD date, at a TBD time, everybody with a lantern will light it at the same time! - If your club wishes, they can make this an actual event, and let the lanterns off from the same place, creating a better effect!
d event! I just wanted to get the idea out there.
nated to a TBD charity!

District Project/Governor’s Project Our mission is simple: Build a socially-conscious generation of young people who END the global water crisis. We do this by educating students about it and activating them to rock the clean water cause & build real water projects all over the world. Why Water? Health and Sanitation: Waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than AIDS, Malaria, and all world violence combined. Small children typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis. Women and children spend on average six to eight hours each day walking to fetch water. The average distance that women and children in developing communities walk to fetch water is 3.75 miles. The time children spend collecting water keeps them from going to school and getting an education. Together, this generation, everyone alive today WILL be the ones to end this. WE will be the ones to push the water crisis into the history books. We invite you to learn more here and join us.
Hunger Project *Due on June 7th
Hi there Division 13, I am the Lieutenant Governor of Division 2. As you may know, the Governor's Project this year is hunger. I am also a big fighter for the cause of hunger! Hunger affects more people around you than you might know. Hunger is not only in "third world countries" or "the projects". It is happening right now right in your own backyard. We complain when we don't get food for an hour or two, but can you imagine only getting one meal a day if you are lucky?! It is hard to think about, especially when you can go to the fridge or cabinet whenever you want.
The positive side to this is that there is so many ways that you can make a difference in the hunger epidemic! To begin, I urge you to volunteer at your local food bank. This is a very rewarding experience and it really puts you in touch with a different side of your community. There is also different non-profits such as No Kid Hungry or Feeding America. These non-profits can benefit the fight against hunger on a global scale and you can get involved by going to their websites. Again, hunger is a big issue and YOU ARE THE SOLUTION! Now get out there and make a change! Yours in passion and service, Alexis Warren
