Dear Key Clubbers of the Mighty New York District, I could not be more excited to welcome you to the 62nd Annual New York District Key Club Leadership Training Conference! Just twelve months ago, we began this journey of service together, and it’s hard to believe that in just a year, we have accomplished so much. Whether it’s devoting countless hours to the Governor’s Project or raising thousands of dollars for our service partners, the success we’ve had this year has made me so incredibly proud to be your governor.

Over this past year, the New York District has grown both in size and potential, and our accomplishments are a testament to our commitment in making our world, our focus. Never stop caring for your communities, and always serve with a smile. It is a great honor to be here with you at my very last Conference as a Key Clubber. You have truly been an inspiration to me and I thank you so very much for being a part of the oldest, largest, and greatest high school service organization in the world.

We have many great things planned for you this weekend, and I hope you can take advantage of all the great opportunities here. Attend as many workshops as you can, join us at the Walk for Haiti, meet fellow Key Clubbers from all across New York, and celebrate our mission of service together.

Congratulations on such a spectacular year, and have a smashing time at the 62nd Annual New York District Leadership Training Conference!

Yours ever in the spirit of service,

Governor Allen Yu New York District Key Club International

To the New York District Key Clubbers, Welcome to the 62nd Annual New York District Leadership Training Conference. Governor Allen has worked tirelessly with the Conference Committee and the District Board to ensure that this is the best Conference possible. New workshops and forums, as well as the old standbys, have been developed. I hope everyone takes advantage of their hard work.

Our Keynote speaker is a past Kiwanis International President, and he promises to inspire and motivate all of us. He will be running a workshop on Saturday morning that will be of interest to all Key Clubbers.

Please enjoy the weekend, attend as many workshops as possible, meet other Key Clubbers, and return to your schools prepared to make your community better for everyone.

The 2009-2010 Key Club year has been a great one. You have all gone out and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for many varied charities and performed countless hours of community service. I wish to thank all of you for the time and effort you and your advisors give to creating a better world for all of us. Remember, we all can make a difference and help to change the world.

Sincerely,

Andrew Lowenberg District Administrator Andrew Lowenberg

To the New York District Key Clubbers, I am very pleased to have been given this opportunity to welcome you to your Leadership Training Conference on behalf of the Kiwanians of the New York District. I hope that each of you knows how proud the sponsoring clubs are of the service that you provide to your schools and communities.

I know that, whether a graduating senior moving on in life or a student returning to your high schools next fall, you will benefit personally from the forums being offered this weekend. Enjoy the ―convention,‖ renew old friendships while you make new ones and gain knowledge and enthusiasm so that you can provide better service and leadership for your clubs and communities.

Lastly I want to congratulate each of you and your District Leadership Team on a great 200910 year. It goes without saying that we New York District Kiwanians look forward to working with you, the largest part of our Kiwanis Family, next year and in the future. Keep up the good work!

MEETING FOR PARENTS OF NEW BOARD (Deep End Lounge) 23

Caucus questions must pertain specifically to the candidate’s qualifications and his or her knowledge of Key Club International and the position that he or she is seeking.

The time allotted to the caucus is to be used to interview and evaluate candidates. As caucuses are an important part of the New York District Leadership Training Conference, Lieutenant Governors must maintain order, dignity, and a high level of professionalism. The Kiwanis Committee Representative or an appointed adult must be in the Division Caucus at all times but may not ask questions of candidates.

Candidates should be given the attention of the assembled delegates and should be given sufficient time to answer a question before asking another. In addition, candidates must be allowed to finish his or her speech in its entirety without disruptions except in the case where the allotted time expires.

Questions will pertain only to Key Club International. Politics, personal, and other questions that may cause a candidate to become uncomfortable are prohibited.

Physical contact, hazing, questions pertaining to race, sex, religion, or any other questions unbecoming of a Key Clubber are strictly illicit and prohibited. It is the responsibility of the Chair of the Caucus to rule out any inappropriate or irrelevant questions.

Candidates should be viewed as equals; therefore, they should be allotted equal time, which may vary according to the office being considered.

All members of the division must be in attendance at the assigned caucus period.

All adults are to sit in the back of the caucus room. Chaperones are asked to assist the adult advisor of the caucus to keep order, but only if they are asked to do so or if the adult in charge allows the caucus to get out of control.

Special regards to Governor Allen: you have unlimited potential and ―you can do it.‖ Do not let anyone or anything get in the way of where your dreams and abilities will take you in life. Mrs. E and I believe in you!

We will miss Lieutenant Governor Robert Nyumah, our Central New York soccer star. You are very talented and will succeed with your enthusiasm and drive.

Likewise, we will also miss Lieutenant Governor Peter Donnelly, our Mohawk Valley Cross Country star. Life is a long-distance event and you have the right stuff not only to finish the ―race‖ in life but to win at it!

The Star-Spangled Banner O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

Key Club International Pledge I pledge, on my honor, to uphold the Objects of Key Club International; to build my home, school and community; to serve my nation and God; and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions.

New York District Song I’m a New Yorker Born and a New Yorker bred, And when I die, I’ll be a New Yorker dead.

Rah! Rah! New Yorker, New Yorker!

Rah! Rah! New Yorker, New Yorker!

Rah! Rah! New York District GO WILD!

Show Your “K” On our coats we wear a little button, We wear it in the winter and the summer so they say.

If you ask us why the decoration, We’ll say it’s for our Key Club And we’re proud to show our “K”.

Beaver Song Beaver one, beaver all, let’s all do the beaver call!

Beaver two, beaver three, let’s all climb the beaver tree!

Beaver four, beaver five, let’s all do the beaver jive!

Beaver six, beaver seven, let’s all go to beaver heaven!

Beaver eight, beaver nine, stop! It’s beaver time!

Go Beaver! Go Beaver! Go Beaver!
