Children’s Specialized Hospital By: Ashley Linehan

One out of every 12 children and teenagers has a mental or physical disability in the United States. That totals to around 5.2 million, struggling to carry out daily tasks because of the diseases and illnesses that were forced upon them. Children’s Specialized Hospital (CSH) is a provider of pediatric rehabilitation services in New Jersey that treats 20,000 of these children, affected by brain injury, spinal chord dysfunction and injury, premature birth, autism, developmental delays, and life-changing illnesses each year. It provides skilled doctors and therapists who work to make a true difference in the lives of children with special needs. Such an organization that functions solely to help children in our communities reach their full potential deserves our support. We can help to promote the efforts by this organization, as well as the children in its facilities by making monetary donations that can be used to provide desperately needed therapy services, art and educational tools, and beyond, giving them more personal gifts, like the holiday cards that many of you were involved in making last month, or even volunteering to go help the workers and interact with these children. I hope to see you all make some kind of effort, however small, this service year, to support the Children’s Specialized Hospital and the children it cares for.

Interdivisional Volleyball Game By: Tori Sonz

The First Annual Key Club Inter-divisional Volleyball game was held on Friday, December 12, 2014. The Millburn Key Club created and hosted this event. The games were hosted in the Millburn High School main gym. A small fee of $5 allowed people to either take

part in the games or

watch and support

those who were playing.

The Inter-divisional Vol-

leyball game helped

raise money for

“Eliminate”, an organiza-

tion created by Key

Club International and

UNICEF to eliminate ma-

ternal and neonatal teta-

nus. Aside from raising

money, the participants

were able to meet some of the other key club divisions, and created bonds as well.

The event was a success, especially for it being only its first year. Aside from the games, raffle tickets, pizza, and baked goods were for sale. Several people from Summit High School came and took part in the volleyball games. Overall, the InterDIvisional Volleyball games were a lot of fun and are absolutely in the running for next year’s round of Key Club events.

Members of the Month By: Nikita Verma

Deanne Ferro demonstrated her commitment to the club this month through various actions. Firstly, she proposed a new idea for the club to collect boxes of useful items for people less fortunate over the holiday season. She thoughtfully planned this and reached out to many members of the club to help gain support. Keep up the good work Deanne!

Aliza Silverman has shown great dedication in her work being a committee head for bake sales. Bake sales are a high responsibility event that happen quite often, and are an underrated source of revenue for Key Club. Being the committee head and managing such an event takes commitment and dedication. Thanks for being such an excellent leader Aliza!
