Regional Training Conferences (RTC) Recap By LTG Div 21 Gabrielle Gutierrez

Hello everyone! First, I must congratulate you all on your newly elected positions. Clearly you all have demonstrated extraordinary leadership, citizenship, and a passion for service and Key Club! I have faith in all of you and your abilities to help carry out a successful Key Club service year for 20102011. The first important step to begin a successful service year begins with being trained. All newly elected officers are required to attend one Regional Training Conference (RTC) in order to attend sessions which will help better their leadership roles and clarify their duties in their club. If you couldn’t make it to the one this past weekend, see you at the Fall RTCs in September! We hope to also have your Advisors join us, for a workshop/meeting with Mr. Barrie Werfel, the NJ District Administrator. Also, remember that RTCs are open to general members! At RTCs, Key Clubbers meet the New Jersey District Board and attended workshops which will help you have a better understanding of your position as well as workshops that will help spice up your meetings, stir some new ideas for projects, and a

great opportunity to meet new Key Clubbers! Because the board knows that we all hail from different schools that

“Rock Out with Service!”

could be far away from each other, the RTCs are broken up into three parts: North, Central, and South. There are RTCs held in the Spring and Fall. They take place on Saturdays and Sundays.

This year’s Spring RTC theme was “Rock Out with Service!” The Spring RTCs took place on the following days at these locations: Saturday, May 22nd: South RTC @ Brick Memorial HS Sunday, May 23rd: North RTC @ Morris Knolls HS They were both a great success as Key Clubbers bonded from all over the region came together to learn about the next Service Year!

The 2010-2011 NJ District Board of Trustees

All Division 14 officers: Contact me! Please CC me in emails and threads with your officers! I love calls and emails as well so feel free to contact me at any time! LTGs Rockin’ Out with Service!

Again, if you couldn’t make either of these, have no fear because there will be RTCs in September as well.

SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, Sep 25th: North RTC @ Millburn HS ( in our division!) Please contact me (your LTG) for any questions, comments, or concerns.
