Letter From Your Editor
Dear Key Club members,
Jolly June! Thank you to everyone who helped make Brooklyn Tech Key
Club’s Induction this year possible! It was a HUGE success, thanks to our
Induction committee! Shout-out to Sandy Liang, Angela Fu, and Karyee Au!
On another note, CONGRATULATIONS to our new cabinet! The board and I
look forward to working with all of you. Let’s make this service year another
exciting great year!
Just because it’s the end of the school year doesn’t mean it’s the end of
Key Club. Get ready for more key club events IN THE SUMMER!
As always, write about the event you went to. What you liked, what you
didn’t like, what you did, how you felt, express your feelings towards the event.
You know the drill, send your articles to [email protected] and if you have
any images, send that to [email protected].

Last Words from your Executive Board of 2010-2011
Hey Key Clubbers,
It’s been an honor serving as your Treasurer for the 2010-2011
service year. Because of Key Club, Junior year, with its heavy work-
load, became one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
When I first joined Key Club, it was just another school activity I was
part of. But now, MLIBTHSKC (My Life is BTHS Key Club).
But why do I like Key Club? Key Club changed me. Key Club
made me the young adult that I am today. Service is about being
selfless—but ironically, service gives you more than you give up. Ser-
vice helped me develop my public speaking skills, my strong-willed
character, and my dedication to commitment. It changed me from
a quiet boy in my freshman year, to a confident young adult. I owe
that to Key Club.
This letter is supposed to be my farewell to Key Club—but I am
not leaving. For me, this letter is merely a reflection of my experience in Key Club. Trust me, this ex-
perience has been the best I’ve ever had. For all this time, I’ve been looking for a quote that I really
stand by. And I have found it this year. This quote is: ―If you are part of something special, you are
special‖. KC has made me special. And everyone in Key Club is special to me.
I hope Key Club has had a positive impact on you, as it had on me. At first, it gave me an ex-
cuse to leave the house and hang out with my friends. But now, I go for that and the enjoyment of
being dedicated to such a worthy cause.
I wish you the best in all that you do. Don’t just love Key Club—live it—like I have done.
Yours Forever in Service,
Jim Chan
Treasurer 2010-2011
KEY CLUB
Letter from your 2011-2012 President, Jim Chan Dear Key Clubbers,
Thank you for electing me as your President for the 2011-2012 service year. I am confident that we will have a
great year together. Last year, as Treasurer, I went around during various events to talk to you guys about your experi-
ences with Key Club. I have learned of the problems and will work diligently to reform Key Club. This year, my goal is fo-
cused on three main ideals: Organization, Involvement, and Family.
Organization. Everything from committee selection to membership dues to emails to meetings will be
more organized for 2011-2012. In a short while, you will be receiving the Membership Information Sheet—a way to organ-
ize and keep track of all the members in the club. On it, I will also be asking for your borough where you live and the zip
code. This is to help me find volunteer opportunities convenient for you guys, the members. Also, we will be updating our
website, on a more regular basis. Ultimately, Key Club will run more smoothly.
Involvement. Key Club will be more involved in the community. We will have more events every month. I also
place a strong emphasis on attending Divisionals, K-Family Events, and Holiday Party, Inter-clubbing events, Fall Rally,
Leadership Training Conference, and Induction. These events make Key Club, Key Club. These events define Key Club.
So please, make an effort to attend these awesome events. Further, involvement is not only about raising money or par-
ticipating in a charity work. It is also about doing hands-on community service. I have been working with the Executive
board to plan the 2nd annual Division 9 Coney Island Beach Cleanup. Members have been working to serve the commu-
nity. The executive board needs to step it up too. I have made it a requirement of mine to achieve 200 points like every
other member. You will see where I stand when the point updates are sent out.
Family. These past few years, we have cared so much about the community. But what about ourselves? We
need to care about our family before we can spread out the love to the greater society. There will be more initiatives to
create a sense of family in Key Club. I hope to plan a Brooklyn Tech Key Club hangout so please stay tuned! Also, there
will be a greater initiative from the Executive board and myself to learn the names of every single Key Clubber.
I look forward to working with all of you next year. I will be committed and dedicated to bring Key Club to an-
other level of success—furthering our service to greater impact those in need. Caring really will be our way of life. Are you
ready? Let the service begin!
Yours in the Spirit of Service,
Jim Chan
President 2011-2012

International News
For those that attended the 63rd Annual Leadership Training
Conference, did you guys have fun? Miss it still? Don’t worry! In another
year you can attend again. But in the meantime, turn your attention to
the Key Club INTERNATIONAL Convention.
Every summer Key Club INTERNATIONAL
celebrates a year of service at the
international convention. Over 2,000
students and advisors gather together to
introduce new programs, present
awards to outstanding clubs, conduct
the organization's business, attend
educational workshops and elect
international officers for the
upcoming year.
The 68th Annual Key Club International Convention will take place in
Phoenix, Arizona from June 29 to July 3, 2011. Every club should send at
least two delegates and advisors, although many clubs send all their
officers and other key members. Make plans now to attend!
If you want to attend and represent Division 9 and Brooklyn Tech Key
Club, let us know! We will provide you will more information!

Key Clubber of
the Summer
What does it mean to be ―Key Clubber of the Summer‖?
Usually we give out this award each month to a particular key club
member who has made the most impact on our club that month. But
instead, this summer we will award ONE key club member for the
months June, July, and August. In order to get this award you have to
attend events, participate, and we want to see someone who is
actively helping and contributing to their community. But we also
want to see someone who is representing Brooklyn Tech, and most
importantly, key club. This member should be the role model for
other members.

THIS
COULD
BE YOU!
