Lieutenant Governor Stephanie Salinas Division 2 New York District Key Club
Greetings from your Lieutenant Governor By Lt. Governor Stephanie
Hello Key Clubbers! Finally, stressful regents exams and testing are done. Luckily, we can now lay back and enjoy the summer. As the days begin to heat up, we must remember to stay active and hydrated! However, we must also remember that we have a duty with Key Club. Throughout the summer we should not forget our role in our home and community! Whether it’s participating in Key Club events or simply helping an elder cross the street we must continue our service in the community. I have two divisional projects set up for the summer. Hopefully, with your continued dedication we can make them two successful events! Obviously, in order to make this happened it is important for everyone to stay in touch with me as well as your club executives.
It is my goal as Lieutenant Governor to increase communication amongst our division. While some rather read emails, others prefer text messages. No problem! As long as every member of our division emails or texts me their name, number and preference we can achieve this goal together! When I have this information I will create a text group and an official division 2 email group. All my contact information is found in the contact section of this newsletter. With that, I ask that you remain an active member during the summer season. Read through this newsletter and get creative! In doing so you’re fulfilling your job as a Key Clubber. It is never to early to fulfill the requirements of a distinguished Key Clubber! Also, remember to have fun, be safe and wear sunscreen!

June Volume I, Issue 2
A Message from your governor Governor Nadyli Nuñez
Can you believe we’re already in June? School is almost over and summer is rolling in. With great weather come many great events that are calling Key Clubbers for help! Answer their call! Get a group of friends, volunteer together and have some summer fun. Many people will travel during this upcoming vacation but before the end of the school year, find out who is staying and exchange contact information so you can volunteer together. You will not only help others but you might make a new friend. Since the last newsletter, the District Board has decided on the ten District Projects and established the Governor’s Project. We have also established goals for this year that I know we will achieve. Committees are currently working on how to reach the goals easier for you. They are creating future publications just for you. Read the articles in this issue and you will find out the numbers we will be reaching as well as information on what the committees are up to. If you are not subscribed to the New York District website (www.nydkc.org),what are you waiting for? Go to the homepage and subscribe! Encourage your Key Club friends to subscribe as well. It won’t take more than twenty seconds because all you need is your name and email address.
The office of club secretary is probably one of the hardest jobs a
person can take on. You frantically take minutes, do attendance, and
fill out all the forms that need to be sent to the district. In addition to
that, you still need to go above and beyond in committing yourself to
volunteering. To help make your life run more smoothly I will be
creating a Google group this year. This Google group will consist of all
the club secretaries. This group will allow me to contact all of you at
once so it is easier for me to fill you in on what forms need to be
handed in. Also, if you have any questions you can always email me
or even post up an update on the Google group so other secretaries
can help you as well and give you suggestions. It’s important that all
of us are communicating with each other so your club and district
runs smoothly. I’m very excited to begin working with all of you!

Connecting Treasurers By District Treasurer Safanah Saddiqui
Have you heard of Google groups? As you may or may not know, several lieutenant governors have made groups for their divisions on Google or Yahoo. As your District Treasurer, I am currently working on creating a Google group exclusively for club treasurers. The Google group will serve as a mailing list for me to update all club treasurers directly rather than through lieutenant governors or other district officers. Such updates will include information on dues payments and other reminders for club officers. In addition to serving as a simple way for you to contact me, the group may also be used for club treasurers to contact each other. Members of the group will be allowed to post discussion topics that other members may reply to. Through this collaboration, frequently asked questions will be answered, as well as ideas will be shared and spread. As a result, I will be given a better idea of what the treasurers need to improve the mighty New York District.
Connecting Webmasters By District Webmaster Emily Lew
Hi Key Clubbers! I, Emily Lew, am your new Webmaster for this year and it’s great to be part of the Key Club family and have a chance to be able to help Key Club via technological services. I’ve noticed that the NYDKC website has been used very frequently for the past years and it’s great that it has helped all of you so much! If you haven’t used the site to your advantage, I strongly encourage it because it’s a great way to keep up with Key Club news outside of your school as well. Our past webmasters have made a quite large mailing list, so feel free to subscribe if you haven’t’ already done so to keep yourselves updated with Key Club! This year I would like to use the site to increase communication among the Board and the other Key Clubbers. Also, the service spotlight will continue being a very important part of the site; because one great project idea can inspire another so don’t forget to tell us about your school Key Club’s great accomplishments! Hope you all enjoy your summer!
Executive Assistant Intro & Duties By Executive Assistant Jillian Harmon
Well, an Executive Assistant is an appointed position in the New York District Key Club. This year I am proud to introduce myself as the 2010-2011 Executive Assistant to the New York District! My name is Jillian Harmon and this year I will be working alongside Governor Nadyli and the Executive Board in helping make this Key Club service year the most productive and exciting year yet! I’m aware of the obstacles that face every Lieutenant Governor and I plan to make their year as successful and as stress-free as possible in addition to assisting Governor Nadyli with the myriad number of tasks she has to complete as our Governor of the NY District. I look forward to meeting each of you over the upcoming year! Have an exciting and service-packed Summer!
Governor’s Project By Lieutenant Governor Nicole Murray
The Governor's Project, “Keys to Education”, for the 2010-2011 service year focuses on the reading and learning aspects of education. This project is designed to include all age groups, from toddlers to senior citizens, as well as all types of people, such as the blind and under-privileged. The Governor's Project Committee is currently compiling a packet of ideas to help clubs get involved. Some ideas so are include throwing a "Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character" dance, organizing a book drive, and playing brain stimulating games with nursing home residents. Clubs should also feel free to come up with their own project ideas as well. Look for the Governor's Project idea packet coming soon!
District Projects By Lieutenant Governor Susanna Novick
The new District Projects for the 2010-2011 service year have been
selected! This year the New York District Executive Board has
chosen ten charities to endorse financially. It ranges from the large
American Cancer Society to the smaller Fisher House. Whether you
are aware of the charity or not, click on its link, read its description,
because each and every charity is fantastic in its own way. This can be done via www.nydkc.org. The District Board has also set a
goal of how much money to raise for these charities. The verdict is $175,000. Yes, it is quite an ambitious goal. However, I know that
together, as the Mighty New York District we can achieve and very
possibly surpass this goal! Together, Key Clubbers of New York, we
will achieve this goal. As you pick new service projects, and
decide upon what charities you want your club to support, never forget the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center, Kamp Kiwanis, and the
Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation, our Kiwanis sponsored
charities. Do not fail to remember these charities as summer rolls
around; support them and think of the people you could be
helping. Now, Key Clubbers, check out the charities for the 2010-2011 Key Club year right now at www.nydkc.org!
District Charities: 1. Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center 6. Doctor’s Without Borders
2. Kamp Kiwanis 7. American Cancer Society
3. Local Causes 8. Make a Wish Foundation
4. Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation 9. Down Syndrome Society
5. St. Jude’s Research Hospital 10. The Fisher House
Service Spotlight Submission for the
Empire Key By District Editor Jensen Cheong
The Empire Key is the official publication of the New York District Key Club. It serves as a tool and reference to Key Clubbers. However, the Empire Key is also a place where the successes of club projects and club service events are celebrated and shared. As a district that ranges from the vibrant urban city life to the peaceful rural towns, Key Clubbers accomplish the same mission through different means. These measures should inspire others and evolve into future successes. That is why the Service Spotlight section of the Empire Key is very important not only to the hosting club but the Key Clubbers around the state. I encourage all clubs to submit articles of their projects and events for publication in the Empire Key. This can be done through the district website, www.nydkc.org, under “Club Resources” or it can be e-mailed to me at [email protected]. As we celebrate one club’s accomplishments, we inspire a dozen other clubs to host successful events, thus creating a stronger spirit of service and a greater district.
Summer Service Idea’s By Lt. Governor Stephanie Salinas
It is important to remain active throughout the summer! Here are some
exciting new idea’s. Hopefully, these idea’s will help you think of new ones.
Remember to get creative!
- Host a lemonade sale.
- Gather all of your Key Clubbers and have a garage sale.
- Host a food drive. Remember, hunger does not take a holiday.
- Have a car wash. (Also an awesome way to enjoy the weather!)
- Have a picnic! Sell refreshments and hot dogs.
- Have a bowling night!
Patchogue Medford
Key Club
Recently, Patchogue Medford Key Club
participated in Relay for Life. They were able
to raise a lot of money and commemorate the night to remember all the people who lost
their lives to cancer.
Also, Patchogue Medford had a
“Bowling Night” in order to help
pay for the tuition of Icon, as well as hosting a “Wendy’s Proceeds
Night.” Way to go Pat- Med!
What is Relay for Life?!
This event is the biggest
fundraiser for the
American Cancer Society!
Upcoming Events : Divisional Projects
As was discussed at the last divisional, we have agreed to prepare
two projects as a division. These projects will be done during the
summer and will involve our division as a whole. However,
considering the vast distance amongst the clubs, we agreed on
having a separate but united event. What this means is that each
club will perform the project in their own town. This way, more
people can get involved and we will be helping the community in
more than one area.
The first project will be a beach clean up.
Lucky enough, we are all surrounded by
water and everyone takes advantage of
this. People spend large portions of their time
at beaches. Of course, as a result beaches
suffer from litter bugs and pollution. We, as a division, will commit two hours towards
cleaning up a local beach and setting the example to keep the environment clean!
The second project will consist of us helping out at a local adoption center
or animal shelter. It is important to think of the less fortunate and those in
need! We will commit three hours of
our time for people that need it!
Club Updates:
Throughout our division, a goal which we must set for ourselves is to have
paperwork in on time. Currently, we are up to date with the election report
forms. However, we are not handing in monthly report forms (MRF’s) on time.
Within each club, the executive board should keep a reminder of these due
dates. MRF’s are due the fifth of every month. Let’s work together to achieve
this goal!
