Editor’s Letter—Amber Lee

Greetings to the New York District, It’s been another great year at the New York District. The District and I would like to thank all the fellow Key Clubbers of New York State for being a part of such a service filled organization. Thank you for raising

money, donating hours, giving effort, and publicizing the word of service from your school to your commu-nity. You are all such stellar individuals. As the end of the year draws closer, I would like to take a moment to not only commend you all, but to also encourage you to continue providing service for our community no matter where you end up. There will always be someone and somewhere that you could reach out to.

Flip through these last pages to take a step back into the past and see what accomplishments you all have done. Take a step to the soon to be present as the Leadership Training Conference is less than a week away. Prepare yourself for a weekend of happiness, tears, memories, and the commemoration of your lead-ership, your service, and your outstanding character. Look into the future and tell yourself that you will al-ways be a Key Clubber. It has been an eventful year and I, myself am proud to be part of this mighty New York District. It wouldn’t have been this way if it wasn’t for the valuable mem-bers that make up this international club. Years from now, when I look back to my high school career, I’ll remember the first time I signed my name to join Key Club, because I knew that at that moment, I took my first step in making a difference. When you look back to your high school years, always remember those steps that you took to give hope and courage to the hearts of others.

Hello mighty New York District! As you all know there are resources and a PowerPoint to guide you through the process so, you will never be alone. You can find if your club has submitted dues on the Dues Spreadsheet, http://bit.ly/NYDKCtreas-dues. The sheet is for when international updates their dues. This processing process takes a couple weeks, be patient, and once you send the two envelopes, relax! We have completed our goal of 100!!!! To reach 100 already is an amazing feat and it truly shows how meritorious our treasurers are! Lets not stop there, your club garners credit for your fundraising through the FRFs, and who doesn’t want credit? Some uses for them are; our district committees use the totals from the FRFs for their fundraising goals. You see they aren’t just an inane time waster! Check out the spreadsheet to see if your club is missing any proof, http://bit.ly/NYDKCtreas-dues. Keep filling them out and we may just have to set a new goal before LTC.

Please contact me with question, comments, and concerns. I love to hear from you call! Mother Teresa once said, “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” Your amazing service is more than just a drop; it helps the world in so many ways, continue it!

Sincerely yours in service, Emily Gicewicz

Important Words: A Letter from the Secretary and Treasurer

Hello New York District, My name is Daniel Ivan Lin and I am currently serving as your district sec-retary. This service year has been a year of great success in terms of paperwork. This year, in order to ensure that submissions were received, a Monthly Report Form with a new interface was made. A new, clean receipt was also made to im-prove the keeping of records for club secretaries this year. In addition, to mak-ing the Election Report Form more accessible and easy to fill out, I have made an online Election Report Form. This new report form is based off of the same interface as the newly designed Monthly Report Form and will also provide an electronic copy for the club secretary to keep. This year, Monthly Report Form submission during the summer dramatically increased, which is an amazing ac-complishment. Because of this year's new report forms, we were able to credit more clubs for the service they completed during the summer. Report form sub-mission increased as the service year came through and it was amazing to read about all the great service being completed throughout the district! I hope that in the service year to come, that we will have an even greater amount of report forms submitted, because there is always room for improvement! Stay strong, New York District! We've done a great job! Yours in the spirit of service, District Secretary, Daniel Ivan Lin

With the year coming to a close so quickly I ask for help. I ask for help from every club in the Mighty New York District to assist the International Projects and Programs Committee reach our goals.

To remind you of the goals they are: UNICEF $20,000 and 15,000 service hours, March of Dimes $10,000 and 7,000 service hours, and Children’s Miracle Net-work $10,000 and 7,000 service hours. The current standings are approximately (depending on the publication of the Empire Key) are: UNICEF $7,086 and 449.25 service hours, March of Dimes $3945 and 882 service hours, and Children’s Miracle Network $2,385 and 0 service hours.

Our committee, composed of Emily Gonthier, Nickolas Boroda, Nicole Jones and Marcus Mosley and I, truly believes that we can still reach our goals. The totals have been piling up throughout the year. Just a short while ago we were nowhere close to where we are now. Then, after a sudden burst of monthly report forms and fund-raising report forms the totals climbed to where they are now. Please continue this trend of service and fundrais-ing. If you ever have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

The International Projects and Programs Committee has been very busy planning for our end of the year push. We have taken our end of the year objectives from Governor Domenick in stride.

Did you know that New York State earned a “C” on their prematurity report card from March of Dimes? Did you know that for just 25 cents, 10 children can drink clean water for a day? Or better yet for $500 a village or school can get a water pump? Did you know that on average 411 babies are born with birth defects in the United States a day?

Each of these organizations does miraculous services every day all of them in the name of children around the world, foreign and domestic. March of Dimes educates women about how to better their chances of having full term pregnancies. Their goal is to reduce the amount of premature babies and babies born with birth defects. Children’s Miracle Network funds life saving research for children as well as help pay for medical bills for chil-dren. UNICEF helps educate, feed, protect and just better the lives of children all over the world.

In my mind Key Club is about helping others yes, but in my opinion it is especially about helping the youth, particularly children who cannot help themselves. That is what the International Service Programs are all about, the betterment of children’s lives. I think that our service partners really deserve our help and our commit-tee really wants to help you, help them, to help children. Stacia Tauscher once said “We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” Well let’s help children today!

Hello Mighty New York District! I’m proud to say that Key Clubbers like you have been working towards our district goal of $8,500 by actively fundraising for the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center. This Fall Key Club members across the district learned more about KPTC at Fall Rallies and this holiday season many went “Karoling” for KPTC. KPTC has ex-perienced another successful year. - Becky Hopkins

This year, Martin Luther Key Club hosted two packing parties. One month before the packing party we announced to the whole school that we were going to take part in this project. Any-body was welcomed to bring in small appropriate gifts. Some of the gift ideas included toys, hygiene items, school supplies, candy, and clothes. People who packed gifts could bring a note and a picture of themselves so the child could know who packed their shoebox. We also needed wrapping paper and shoeboxes to wrap the gifts. We sorted out the gifts that we received into categories: school supplies, toys, and basic necessi-ties. From there, we put something from every category into each box. Between the two packing parties, more gifts came in. During this three-hour event, we finished packing and wrapping all the shoe boxes. Some of us stayed after wrapping the shoe boxes to write notes for some chil-dren. At the end of the packing party, we ended up with 22 fully wrapped and packed shoe boxes. This project was a successful one. A student who donated $105 for 15 boxes! The others were donated by other key clubbers and teachers.

JDRF Walk This event was about the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This event was a message to tell people that diabetes is a serious thing. Diabetes is at the top when it comes to how many people are being affected by it. This year, the walk took place in Flushing Meadows Park. Many clubs from other schools had come to the event. I saw many tents selling items to raise money for the foundation. I felt special that day actually because I felt like I was making a change and help-ing this foundation reach its goal to find a cure and help its patient. I feel like not only me, but everyone that was there, made an impact and a statement that diabetes is something not to be taken granted for. Overall, this was a successful event. Bryant Key Club helped raise money to support the foundation by giving people sneakers to sell if they signed up. The sneakers idea was a successful idea because many of them signed up for it. Some of our former members, now in college, returned such as: Steven Lai to join Bryant Key Club in this walk. The walk was a bit short this year but after the walk was the main event. Many people from the Key Club danced their heart out when it came to the dance session. Also for everyone who attended had a free pass to enter the zoo! Overall this event was a huge accomplishment and everyone had a great time!

KPTC Safe Kids Workshop Recently on Saturday morning, quite a bunch of Key Club Members from Bayside High School Key Club, Cardozo High School Key Club and Aviation High School Key Club participated in an event at Bayside High School called the KPTC Safe Kids Work-shop. The Safe Kids program is coordinated by the PTC Service Leadership Committee and is intended to teach us high school students just how to present safety conditions to elementary school students. In a matter of time, the Key Clubbers were separated into groups where they each learned about different safety conditions and how to per-form duties correctly. Pumped up and excited, each group would participate in the safety lesson and teach back the lesson! The Key Clubbers have really experienced

something different; they had this opportunity to learn more for themselves and also to participate in such activities they have never experienced before.

Breast Cancer Walk The Breast Cancer Walk of 2010 was my first Key Club event ever. Thus, this year, when I met up with my fellow members, a feeling of excitement and nostal-gia built up inside of me. About sixty and more of our members had shown to support the cause. After signing up, all of us gathered around with other key clubs from our division and fooled around while waiting for the walk. I sur-rounded myself with my officers and new members and talked animatedly about last year’s walk. We all bought ribbons and buttons to match our support. The walk was exhilarating. Hundreds of men and women in different shades of pink walked together to create more birthdays. Bryant Key Club was one of the loud-est. My fellow classmates cheered, danced, and sang while walking down the pavements of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Seeing all of us conjoined to-gether in brilliant, aesthetic shades of pink made my heart flutter in pride. As a senior member and officer, I am rest assured that my members will continue to

walk for breast cancer even after my time is done. - Mahenoor Baig Division 8: William Cullen Bryant High School

Division 6 has truly lived up to our service leadership legacy so far this year. Starting the school year off strong with a number of walkathons, Divisionals, trick-or-treating for Unicef, food drives, and a 9/11 National Day of Service, D6 Key Clubbers have enjoyed serving our homes, schools, and community while making new friendships and strengthening our divi-sion’s bond. Along with Divisions 4, 5, and 7 this October, Division 6 had a great turnout at our annual Fall Rally where we raised money for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and the Christian Appalachian Project, as well as created Make a Child Smile Cards for terminally ill children.

We did not forget those in need this holiday season and have been very busy coming to-gether to serve our community to make the season merry and bright for the less fortunate. Clubs have held numerable projects including not only food drives but also coats drives and toy drives. Governor Domenick’s home club East Meadow worked hard to serve hundreds of senior citizens at their annual Thanksgiving Dinner. We’ve also spent many hours bell-ringing for the Salvation Army and even helped out at Nassau University Medical Center where we set up for and volunteered at the hospital’s annual children’s holiday party.

D6 has been working closely with other members of our K-Family. We have been helping the West Hempstead Court Aktion Club with many projects including a Community Cleanup. We also supported Circle K by attending a Murder Mystery dinner for Eliminate. In addition, D6 Key Clubbers had fun tagging along with the Bowling Green K-Kids to “Karol” for KPTC because as Buddy the Elf once said, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.”

ING Marathon- New York- Volun-teering! The ING Marathon was impressive because it was my first marathon that I had ever witnessed. There were a lot of athletic runners that were running the five boroughs of New York. I saw people encouraging them to keep going and it felt awe-some. I gave about thirty and more cups of water to the runners to help them keep up their pace and not lose stamina. The marathon was very cool because many runners also wore costumes. The marathon lasted for a long time. I kept wondering how the runners were able to keep up their remarkable performance, and felt very awed by them. The marathon

was a success, and by the end, it felt like a parade with all the noises. I am glad I was able to volunteer in the marathon for the runners that needed support of the volunteers. I would be glad to help out others when they need it. - Kenneth Contreras

UNICEF If you didn’t know already, UNICEF stands for United Nations International Children’s Emer-gency Fund. This foundation was created in 1946 in order to assist and cure children who had suffered the effects of war. Up till today, UNICEF has save more lives of children than any other organization, but they didn’t solely work independently, they had the help of the people and government. Last year, Bayside High School Key Club raised $4000 for UNICEF, and as a result, we were more than happy to have been able to raise such an abundant amount of money, but also shave Stanley’s (our former president) hair off. This year, our club began to distribute orange Trick-o-Treat UNICEF boxes to the key clubbers during the month of October. Recently we had counted our donations and unfortunately, we weren’t able to raise as much money as last year. But, we were definitely glad to still be able to receive $3000. And to live up to the tradi-tion, our current Secretary agreed to shave off his hair as well. Salutations to you, Stanley.

St. Judes Walk The St. Jude walk was awesome event because I got to walk a bridge going to Manhattan for the first time. It was interesting experience because I also got to take nice pictures of the Statue of Liberty from the bridge. The walk was fun to explore and seeing all the peo-ple supporting the St.Judes walk was incredible. The walk was cool, seeing people cheer-ing the walkers from the start to the finish line. Key Club members received cool t-shirts to walk around in. I felt happy that I was able to explore different places that I never been to and it is good to learn something new. The things I like about St.Judes are that they never stop looking for cures and truly support the children. The walk is worth it, support-ing the children who need our strength in staying healthy and safe. I always watch com-mercials of St.Judes, which show children that look sick and have cancer. I feel sorry for these kids and I wish the best for all, but I know by walking we helped to make a differ-ence. - Kenneth Contreras

Taking a Step Back Into the Past: Fall Rally

Metropolitan Fall Rally On October 29, 2011 the annual Fall Rally took place. This year it was held at the beautiful Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn. Despite having to wake up

early, walk in the freezing winds and trudge through the snow, the event was extremely productive. Due to the weather, we had about twelve Key Clubbers in attendance. The day started with con-tinuous, informative workshops such as President/Vice President, Secretary, Treasuries, Members, etc. The second workshop I attended was very fun and interactive. It was the Fundraising Ideas/Service Projects. We were placed in different groups in order to break the ice between the atten-dees. The next workshop I partook in was Project EliMiNaTe, were we learned more about the importance and significance of maternal/neonatal tetanus and its impact. Above all, it only takes .60 cents to provide a vaccination for a newborn baby or a mother. After the very touching workshop, we had lunch. We were provided with unlimited pizza and drinks, which was defrayed from the $10 admissions fee. The last workshop was our very own Lt. Carla Pacheco’s that dealt with various ice breaker ideas. Bryant Key Club immensely enjoyed this event, from the human knot, to hugging random people, which brought the day to an end. This event was a crucial event for members interested in running for higher office, to gain insight about their upcoming duties and garner more information as to be a better, competent leader. The Fall Rally was indeed a great success.

I hope things have been running smoothly thus far. It is almost the end of my term as Lt. Governor and I would like to take this time and thank everyone who has helped fortify and expand Key Club Division 10. I would like to thank all the club presidents and officers who have complied and cooperated with New York District requests and also my suggestions on how to increase membership in their clubs, create efficient fundraisers and making sure that their efforts are recorded and submitted to NYDKC. I would also like to thank Kiwanis members, Leonard Gioia and Sean O’Sullivan, who have tirelessly offered counsel and sup-port to our club members and our service projects. This year’s Fall Rally was a blast! I am so proud of the Key Club members from Division 10 that attended despite the snow. It was very successful and I hope you guys had a good time and enjoyed the presentations of our guest speakers. I hope this New Year will bring more opportunities for growth, friendship, and fun! Keep up the good work! -Gresa Shala

Mural Painting Event By: Sisi Peng

“May you pass the red paint?” “Oh no, can someone refill the yel-low paint? We ran out!” “Be careful of the details, use a thinner paintbrush for this section.” Stepping into the Mural Painting Event for the Governor’s Project, a Key Clubber may overhear snippets of conversations like the ones before. Members were able to release their inner creativity and utilize their best judgment to create wonderful pieces of art-work for a local hospital or recreational center. As I walked around helping out different groups, I saw Key Club-bers actively sharing supplies and even personal stories, ranging from funny jokes from fellow classmates to occasional complaints about the crowded school hallways. At this event, members were able to serve the community while having fun and meeting new people. Together we completed six large murals in the hopes of lifting someone else’s spirits and put a smile on their face. Sharing is caring and caring is, without a doubt, our way of life.
