Neepams Newsletter
DIVISION 19, KEY CLUB NEW JERSEY
Yours in caring and service,
Neepam Shah
Well, Division 19, we are now in thefull swing of summer! Im sure all of you
are enjoying your vacation and are
not saving your summer work until the
very end.
During the month of July, I had the
opportunity to attend Key Clubs
International Convention in Memphis,
Tennessee. This was a wonderful
experience, as I had the chance to
attend various workshops that will help
me help you make our Division as
mighty as possible!
In the first few months of our
Service Year, Division 19 has proven
itself to be among the mightiest. I
have received 100% of CMRFs for the
months of May and June, and all new
officers were trained before the end of
the school year. Congratulations!
Finally, please note that from
August 15-22, I will be in Lake Tahoe,
and from the 23-27, I have band
camp. While I will have internet
access during this time, I may be
to respond to emails. Please chec
the Reminders section at the end
this newsletter for important
information regarding the second
PCM, CMRFs, and more!
Feel free to peruse this newsle
In it, you will find a recap of ICON
well as information on the Youth
Opportunities Fund and MajorEmphasis Program.

ICON RECAP
Each year, Key Clubbers the world
over converge upon one spot to
celebrate an amazing year of service,
and to welcome in the new one. This is
Key Clubs International Convention,
and, this year, it was held in Memphis,
Tennessee from July 7-10.
On the first night of the
convention, attendees were treated to
a concert by pop-rock band Relient K,
and spent the next three days traveling
between workshops, general sessions,
and caucuses. Workshops covered
everything from various charities a club
can support, to an exploration on the
meaning of life. At the general sessions,
New Jersey Key Clubbers showcased
their spirit for service as we picked up 11
Distinguished Lieutenant Governor
Awards, a Distinguished Award for each
District executive, and a best digital
poster award (for J.P. Stevens High
School). Most importantly, we attended
caucuses and the House of Delegates.
At the House of Delegates, the 2010-2011
International Board was elected. The
2010-2011 Key Club International Board
is:
International President:
Xinlei (Tony) Wang, Wisonsin-Upper
Michigan District
International Vice President:
Ikwo Morris, Carribean-Atlantic District
International Trustees:
Nick Cornell, Wisconsin-Upper Michigan

YOUTH OPPURTUNITIES
FUND
-written by Devan Corona, District Treasurer
Is your dream service project
just out of reach? Do you have it all
planned out and the man- power to
execute it but you lack the funds?
Maybe you would like to help local
children through education or the
elderly through recreation. There are
thousands of great service projects
out there and the Youth
Opportunities Fund (YOF) can help
your turn your dream to a reality.
The Fund is all about financial
support. Your club can be awarded
anywhere from $200 to $2000 of
assistance for your project. But now
you might be thinking, If someone is
just giving out money, there must be
strings attached. There really arent;
The Youth Opportunities Fund is such
a simple process. All you have to do
is plan, apply, and complete your
project. With those three steps, you
be on your way to one of the most
successful projects ever!
So you have your project idea,
where do you go from here? Start
with detailed planning to determine
if the YOF is even needed to fund th
project. Being economical can
eliminated many wasteful costs. If
you have already planned and you
club still cannot fund the entire
project, apply for YOF immediately.
Dont be nervous to apply. Even
though you have International
competition, the YOF is one of the
most under-utilized resources Key
Club has to offer. Very few people
apply so if you enter properly, your
chances of winning are pretty good

(continued on page 3)
Also, there is more than one
winner. The Committee picks the
projects on an individual basis not
in competition against one
another.
The application deadline is
October 15th and there is only one
funding cycle per year. If you miss
out your project may have to go
on hold. Start by checking out the
Youth Opportunities Fund
Webpage where you can find
previous winning projects and the
application. The application is only
two pages long and easy to
complete, but here are some tips
on entry. Make an effort to
partially fund your project without
the YOF grant; the committee
loves to see that you have put
effort into funding the project by
yourselves. A precise project
timeline and detailed line item
budget should be included so the
committee knows you are
committed to the project and
have a solid plan of execution.
They only want to fund responsible
clubs! The final tip is a detailed
application. Chose to be more
specific rather than less, the
committee that chooses winners
does not know your areas needs.
Make sure they understand why
this project is vital to your
community.

MAJOR EMPHASIS
PROGRAM: Live2Learn
-written by Kimberly Lu, LTG Div 17
For the 2010-11 Service Year, the
Major Emphasis Project for Key Club
International is once again Live2Learn. This
program emphasizes the importance of
education, and clubs are encouraged to
hold activities that promote better grades,
giving back to the community, and the
growth of special bond between a mentor
and his student. Read ahead for ideas on
ways to advocate the Major EmphasisProgram!
Create posters about Live2Learn.
The more people see it, the more
theyll want to be involved.
Create/Show videos.
Create flyers! Flyers are easy to
make and simple. They show the
information; theyre
straightforward. People want to
know what Live2Learn is before
they get involved.
Include articles about Live2Learn
in newsletters or your school
newspaper.
Talk to people, especially people
with siblings between the ages o
5-9. Theyll probably want to be
involved in the education of thei
younger sister or brother!
Work with adults who want to getinvolved. If you want to hold an
event with an elementary schoo
youll need the aid of a superviso
teacher, or advisor!
Speak to elementary school
teachers. Theyre the ones
educating our concentration
group. Theyll be the ones who
help you most!
Participate! Tutor a child or read
an elementary school class with
your friends.
