Fall Rally 2015 was a phenomenal experience. Nothing can beat the collective experience of sharing the spirit of service with Key Clubbers from high schools all over the state. The Dr. Seuss theme was fantastic and after seeing and hearing all our district officers at the amphitheater, we had a blast riding on Six Flags Great Adventure’s thrilling roller coasters with fellow Key Clubbers. Thanks to all those who came to support District 14 this past Sunday! Our members are super excited for DCON (The New Jersey District Convention) in April to reunite with Key Clubbers and can’t wait for Fall Rally 2016!
Key Club APDA Walk A special thank you to our volunteers who helped out at the American Parkinson Disease Association’s fundraiser walk at Johnson Park on October 4th. Your service was greatly appreciated and is making a difference in our community!

PUMPKIN PATCH!
Volume 1, Issue 2
The annual community Pumpkin Patch at the local Hands of Hope Food pantry is a great experience every October in Edison!
The EHS Key Club, along with the JP Stevens and Highland Park Key Clubs volunteered at the Hands of Hope Pumpkin Patch this Saturday, October 17th. They helped set up a wide range of activities for children who come to the food pantry, such as handing out trick-or-treat bags, story time, puppet shows, games, and pumpkin painting and crafts. Set up was at 10 AM and activities ran from 11 AM to 1:00 PM., and about 30 children came to the event. The EHS Key Club was in charge of supplying the snacks and trick-or-treat bags filled with goodies and Halloween-themed toys. Helping out the children was a heart-warming event for our Key Clubbers and all our volunteers. Check back on the website or the next newsletter to see pictures from the event! Thanks to our volunteers and donators for the Hands of Hope Pumpkin Patch! We needed to supply goodies, snacks, and glowsticks for the kids and your donations were much appreciated!
