Kiwanis Family Picnic Recap
Numerous members from each of the several Ki-
wanis Family Clubs gathered in Toms River,
New Jersey this past summer to be together for
the annual Kiwanis Family Picnic. The day
started off with beautiful, nice, warm weather.
We got to enjoy a variety of different foods dur-
ing the barbeque all served buffet style. We
walked around in the sand, shared stories, and
got to make new friends.
At one point, we all got together and engaged in this
year’s service project: a beach clean up. Everyone worked
together to pluck out the weeds growing around the dune
grass. By the time we finished, we had the beach looking
spotless.
Unfortunately, as the days progressed, the weather took a
turn for the worse and it started to pour. We managed to
make it really fun though. Volunteers lined up with
garbage bags, then Circle K members shoveled
sand into our garbage bags, and then we tossed
them in front of the entrances to build walls be-
cause the building we were in was actually start-
ing to flood a little bit! We laughed about how
crazy and unexpected the whole thing was and
played a game of jeopardy run by some members
from Circle K! It turned out to be one of the best
days of my whole summer.

Regional Training Conference Recap
Special thanks to everyone who took the time
to attend any of the Regional Training Confer-
ences held this service year. The three Fall Re-
gional Training Conferences are now complete
and all three of them turned out to be a suc-
cess! I was able to attend both the Central RTC
at the Piscataway High School and the North
RTC at the Roxbury High School and both of
them were a ton of fun! I tend to enjoy the Re-
gional Training Conferences even more in the
fall than the ones in the spring because of the
high number of attendees in the fall! It’s great
seeing so many Key Clubbers ready to learn in
the morning. I got to teach a variety of work-
shops including the Secretary workshop, KEYp-
ing it Klassy, Key Club 411, Service, and many
more. It was great. Thanks again to everyone
who took the time to go, you have no idea how
much I appreciate it!
*Also, special thanks to Ms. Barbato and all of
my officers from Roxbury High School for
doing a fantastic job! You guys were great!

Advocacy Bracelet Sale
How can you get one?
Each club will recieve the amount
of advocacy bracelets that they
have requested. Try to have sales
throughout October and early
November.
Advocacy Bracelets
The New Jersey District Board is proud to announce that we will now
be selling advocacy braceletes to raise money for the ELIMINATE Proj-
ect! The braceletes will be the same size and same lettering as a typical
"Livestrong" bracelet and will feature the saying "BElieve in YOUrself".
They will be light blue and sold for $1 each.
Why should you get one?
The bracelets were designed to
raise awareness about this year’s
advocacy focuses, which include
anti-bullying, self-image, and sui-
cide prevention. We hope that see-
ing this saying on someones wrist
could give that person the will to
fight for another day.
