March of Dimes March of Dimes implores us to speak up for premature births by advocating for the affected families during the Prematurity Awareness month in November.
Next Kiwanis Meeting for Parents
Invite your parents and neighbors to the next Kiwanis Club meeting to learn about the significance of a philanthropic club that our Key Club works with! If your parents
have questions they can contact Susan Dougherty by email at crusadersue@hotmail.com
Fall Rally
Fall Rally is at Six Flags (Jackson) on Sunday, October 9th, 2016. We will into Fright Fest later that night get too. Early registration is past due; however, we can still participate at the event for the regular registration cost: $43, which is due on the day of the event. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other Key Clubbers from New Jersey, learn about service projects, and of course, ride roller coasters!
Key Club Night With the New Jersey Devils Are you a fan of the NHL? Do you enjoy social events with the Key Club with members all around New Jersey? If you answered yes to these questions, join us at the New Jersey Devils game on October 29th at the Prudential Center! Seats are limited.
ICON 2017
Would you be interested in meeting Key Clubbers from everywhere imaginable? If so, the next ICON will be in San Antonio, Texas in the spring of 2017. If you are considering this trip, then please contact one of the officers to communicate with the rest of the officers and the Kiwanis Club to prepare for fundraising.
District Project 2016-2017 Just like New Year’s Eve resolutions, a new Key Club Year means new goals. Our District Project for 2016-2017 is the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks! There are 5 food banks and 6 locations (the nearest to Westfield is Hillside). We will be setting the bar high at $90,077.85 to provide food for those who do not have this necessity for life; so unlike those unrealistic New Year’s resolutions, we need to tackle this immediately to ensure success.
Upcoming Service Projects/Fundraisers YOUR opinion on what to do for the rest of the year matters! Which ideas sound the most appealing? A carnival? A Popsicle sale? A sports tournament? Do you have any other ideas?

Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEF When you go out on Halloween to accumulate a stockpile of your favorite savory treats, why not also contribute to an incredible cause? UNICEF provides us with the opportunity to aid those in need and our responsibility is to fundraise. For each door you knock on, ask for a donation to the cause and offer a copy of the flyer to any inquisitive listeners.
