Hey Key Clubbers!
Hopefully you have all read
my letter of introduction!
If you haven’t yet, check your
emails or please let me know
so I can send you a copy of
it.
Anyway, my name is Erik
Lim and I will be serving as

Governor for the 2013-2014
service year, and this is my
very first newsletter!

sional and District events, as

Regional Training Conferences
Every year the New Jersey district of Key Club organizes RTC’s (Regional Training Conferences) in the spring and the fall. RTC’s are a great opportunity to meet new people from within your re-gion, attend informative workshops on various topics about all things Key Club, and to participate in fun-filled
icebreakers. This year’s theme for the RTC’s is “ Experi-ment with Service”. If you could not attend Regional Training Conferences this year, don’t fret! We will be having RTCs again in the fall. Get ready! So mark your cal-endars, tell your friends, and get as excited as an electron
can be for next year’s Re-gional Training Conferences!

composed and helpful teen-
agers going through a fun
bonding experience to-
gether. We learned from
each other, communicated
ideas and created friend-
ships that would last for-
ever. DCON was a great
experience, packing into
one (super tiring) day meet-
ings, workshops, sessions,
meals and dances. There
was so much to be done
and I enjoyed every minute
of it; however, my only cri-
tique is that the workshops
were short and to be frank,
DCON, 2013. A hotel
packed all too tightly with
too many high schoolers,
but without a whiff of angst
in the air. To me, it was
more than an eye opening
experience; it was a journey
that helped me find a part
of my identity. DCON
showed me there was a big-
ger picture to it all, and it
wasn’t just someone telling
me that. So in the end, what
was great about it? We as
key clubbers were experi-
encing exactly what it was
we wanted- to be mature,

“If there was one thing I

would do anything to come
again.”
less professional and/or
beneficial for the GMs
than I had hoped for. If
there was one thing I
took home from this
convention it was that I
would do anything to
come again.
Daina Zhou, or as she
(and maybe 3 other peo-
ple) calls herself, Captain
General Member, has been
an ardent general mem-
ber of key club for the
last 2 years. Daina is con-
stantly made fun of be-
cause of her height (or
lack thereof) and her
“childish” interests.
However, when it comes
down to buckling down
and doing work she
doesn’t tolerate mediocre
service work. She’s
bossed people around chaired
several events and thoroughly
enjoyed doing so, as when
events end up running smoothly
because other people help her
other people’s hard work is al-
ways worth it. Daina plans on
being the very best key clubber
there ever was, but that proba-
bly won’t happen because she’s
not tall enough for respect.

Meet the Presidents - Hayley Austin
My name is Hayley Austin, and I am currently co-president of the Tenafly Key Club. Well, my favorite subjects are math and phys-ics, I play flute in our school’s honors band, and in my free time I like cosplaying and reading manga. I love Key Club because of
its members. I am always
amazed by the outstanding
work we can do when we
put in a bit of effort and
when we work together to
achieve a common goal. I
think that the service we
can provide is the most
important thing we can of-
Meet the Presidents - Denisse Peralta
This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears
in newsletters is virtually end-
less. You can include stories that
focus on current technologies or
innovations in your field.
You may also want to note busi-
ness or economic trends, or
make predictions for your cus-
tomers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed
fer as Key Clubbers. I also
hope to strengthen our divi-
sion and meet the members
and officers of other divi-
sion sixteen clubs. Finally, I
hope to inspire others and
to act as a mentor as mem-
bers learn what Key Club
means to them.
Hi! My name is Marisa
Wong. I’ve been in Key
Club ever since my fresh-
man year.
I served as secretary, and
am now the Co-President
of Tenafly Key Club.
One major goal I have for
this year is to focus on ser-
vice. Tenafly Key Club does
an amazing job at fundrais-
ing, but I’d like to plan
more service projects
around our school and
community.
Additionally, I’d like to be
able to retain member-
ship— want to reach out to
more members and get a
sense of who they are and
what kinds of projects
they’d be interested in.
I’m really happy to be
working with such moti-
vated officers and mem-
bers. I look forward to an
amazing service year!
Hey, my name is Denisse
Peralta and I'm the Presi-
dent for North Bergen
High School.
Around town, people know
me for my smile and laugh
during any stressful event. I
enjoy seeing new members
turn into responsible active
members! That is one of
my many goals this year: to
have the most active mem-
bers for upcoming years be
recognized.
I want my general members
to be more involved with
the division. The highest
goal I have is to create one
Builders Club this service
year.
The many qualities I bring
to Key Club consist of
honesty, trust, responsibil-
ity, and caring.
I hope to work with other
leaders to accomplish all
our goals!

QuirKEY Name
Hi Everyone! Some of you
may recognize the name of
this newsletter, the
“QuirKEY” and that is
because it was the newslet-
ter name of my previous
Lieutenant Governor
Christina. Christina was a
great Lieutenant Governor,
mentor and friend. Her
“QuirKEY” nature in-
spired others to lead and
she gave off a comfortable
aura. She received a
Robert. F. Lucas Distin-
guished Lieutenant Gover-
nor award at DCON and
she deserved it. I have
learned a lot of things
about Key Club and Chris-
tina even encouraged me
to run for Lieutenant Gov-
ernor. As such, I want to
continue the QuirKEY
name in honor of one of
the best Lieutenant Gover-
nors that Division 16 has
had.
