A Note From Your Lieutenant Governor WELCOME TO THE FIRST PUBLICATION OF MY NEWSLETTER. MY NAME IS OLIVIA O'BRIEN AND IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE I INTRODUCE MYSELF AS DIVISION 22'S NEW LTG. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING AND WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU. I KNOW THAT WITH ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK THIS SERVICE YEAR WILL BE GREAT! FUN FACTS!
I'm a freshman at Vernon Township High School where there's a lot of mountains and it snows until April! I'm a writer. I'm a novelist, poet, epic poet, essayist, memoirist, satirist, playwright/dramatist, screenwriter, speechwriter, ghostwriter, songwriter, short story writer, and musician. I love classic literature. William Shakespeare, James Joyce, Leo Tolstoy, and Oscar Wilde are some of my favorite writers. I love the colors grey, white, and black I play five different instruments and I sing in five different choirs I love kids and babies (80% of the time. the 20% is when babies are screaming) I'm a proud Filipino! My favorite animal is the raven I love villains far more than I like heroes I'm a patron of the humanities. The Literary Arts, Literature, Philosophy, Art, Music, Theology, Comparative Literature, and Linguistics are the things I like And I love doing community service

The Regional Training Conferences (RTCs) is meant to give general members and officers a deeper and better look into what they do and their importance. Going to an RTC will help you become more familiar with how Key Club branches from your home club, to NJ district level, to International level. Besides, every officer must attend at least one RTC

Fun and Easy Service Projects Club Buddies
To start off school years, have an upperclassman "adopt" a struggling freshman student. I know I could have used that help. Care Cards
Write encouraging or inspiring messages to members of your community! Read A Thon
Volunteer at a local library or school to host a reading day. Encourage children to read! Roadside Clean Up
Make earth day everyday but volunteering to clean up the trash along local roads, beaches, and parks
Sports Tournaments
Great way to raise money for a charity or cause of your choice. Examples include ultimate frisbee, hockey, volleyball, baseball, and basketball tournaments. Food Drives
Bring canned food goods to local food pantries.
Tutoring/Homework Help
Volunteer at your school or middle schools to offer tutoring and homework help
Bake Sales
Great way to fundraise for projects, Fall Rally, and DCON 22
