Lieutenant Governor’s Address

Hopefully you’ve been able to start off your service year with a bang, and as we transition from a school mindset to a summer mindset, I’d like to encourage you to keep serving your communities and engaging with Key Club. The district has many ways for you to do just that, whether it’s attending International Convention in late June or enrolling in the Community Food bank of New Jersey’s Teen Hunger Institute on July 29th, we’ve provided a myriad of avenues for you to stay involved. Until then, enjoy the rest of the year!

Hunterdon Central Key Club

Now that we have had our first meeting this year, we would like to welcome all the new members. Our club does many activities with people to further you time in service. People who are in need of us Key Clubbers reach out to use and us officers bring it up on meetings to make sure you have lots of different choices of things you can do.

The President

I joined Key Club as a sophomore because I honestly had no idea what it was about. Little did I know at the time that I would turn out loving to help others. That just kept progressing and only a few years later and I was the president of key club. Volunteering to help others through key club and just in my own time has become a steady part of my life. I only need about five volunteer hours per month, but I usually end up with about twenty -five instead. It gives me the chance to help others even when they are not asking for help, including random acts of kindness. Sometimes after school, I just stop by one of my teacher’s classrooms and ask them if they need help doing anything, it brightens their days and at the same time, mine also.

The President

Key Club has also given me the opportunity to meet new people that I never would have dreamed of meeting. I find it really cool to be connected within a network of schools in division 13 with us. It is a really cool experience to get to meet our counterparts from the other schools we work with. through key club, I was also able to get a pen pal from Florida. It is something that I find really cool and completely recommend doing if you get the chance, you can talk about key club and overall just meet someone new from a different part of the country. You can learn so many life lessons through this club, even if you do not have an officer position. You can also meet so many close friends, as I have over the past few years and you keep in touch with them after they graduate. I hope to continue the success of the Hunterdon Central Key Club and that it will inspire other Red Devils to fall in love with volunteering like I had the opportunity to do.

Our Activities

Right now we have many things lined up for us to do. We have been handing out UNICEF boxes since our first meeting. We still have more so if you are interested in raising some money for UNICEF email one of the officers. We are also collecting gently used shoes to give to people who need them. We are also helping at Haunted High School. The set up is on Friday, October 30 after school and help participate in the event on October 31. We will also be helping to set up a Halloween Party at Whitehouse School. It will be on October 30 from 6pm to 8:30pm. These are just some things we are doing right now in our club.

New Jersey District

This is a very busy time for the district of New Jersey. With Fall Rally coming up we have lots to look forward to. It is a fun event and every one always has a great time. There will also be Key Leader in December with people all over the district . Our district project continues to be helping out food banks to help end hunger in our state. Our district is always doing something and you can keep up with them at the website. http://www.njkeyclub.org/

Key Leader

Key Leader is a life changes event with the entire New Jersey District. You go for a week end and have a good time while learning how to be a leader and how you can work with others more efficiently. This year it is taking place at Cross roads Camp on December 4 through December 6. It cost $175 and we need it in by November 20 so we can send everything in and make sure you get to go. There is only room for so many people to go to this event so the sooner you sign up the better.

Key Club International

Guyana is the newest country to join our Key Club family. They have already started working hard on their very own project called GrowGIA! Their project won a single service award at convention this past spring.

They are showing the world what it means to be a true Key Club country.
