Once you join Key Club, many doors of opportunities will open for you. You will learn how to build your character, work with others, make new friendships, and many more! All this can happen just by deciding to engage in many service events. If you are still looking for an answer, here it is: Get yourself out there. If you really want to know what Key Club is about, sign up for many activities as you can, reach out, and be passionate about what

Fall RTC at Phillipsburg On September 13, Phillipsburg High School Key Club hosted a fall regional training conference. The Key Clubbers of Phillipsburg High school brought in breakfast for those who attended as well as decorated the hallways. Many
officers and general members from different schools learned how to lead their clubs more efficiently and to improve their leadership. In addition, the district board shared more
about this year’s district project, which is food banks in New Jersey, and shared various ideas on how to contribute to the project. (see pg 10 for more info)

Fun at the Farmers’ Market!
Well doesn’t this just look fun? Key Clubbers helped out at the Farmers’ Market Day and had a great time dressing up as vegetables, face painting and dancing with kids.
Thank you for your service!

District Project
Our service hours goal is 18,630. Our fundraising goal is $90,077.85. Break Down of the Numbers 900 - The 900,000 New Jersey residents who rely on food banks. 77 - 7.7 million times a year that someone is fed by a food bank. 8 - 1 in 8 people in New Jersey struggle with hunger. 5 - There are 5 food banks in the Federation working diligently and passionately to change the lives of the hungry.
The 2015-2016 district project is the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks. Did you know that 1 out of 8 people in New Jersey struggle with hunger? You may not know it but hunger is a huge problem that can affect a person physically and mentally. Hunger is often overlooked, but the New Jersey District of Key Club has partnered up with food banks and communities to bring more awareness to this problem.
