What to Expect at Fall Rally
Are you ready to Get Animated with Service at Fall Rally 2014? What
is Fall Rally? Fall Rally is the largest gathering of NJ Key Clubbers to
motivate Key Clubbers to have a great rest of the service year. This
year Fall Rally will be on October 12th at Six Flags Great Adventure in
Jackson, New Jersey. In the wee hours of the morning you and your
Key Club will travel to the amusement park to meet about 3,000 Key
Clubbers from all across New Jersey! Get ready to see the NJ District
Board dress up as your favorite animated characters ranging from
Aang to Wanda! Get ready to learn all about what the New Jersey
District is doing ranging from Eliminate updates, Advocacy
information, dues, and different district events during the session!
Another highlight of the event will be the spirit stick competition!
Every division will have to prove how ready they are for the service
year as they cheer their heads off hoping to be the loudest division
in the district! The winner will win the coveted spirit stick! The day
does not have to end with this fun session! Clubs have the option to
explore the park and go on the rides before the park officially
opens! Your club will also have the option to stay for Fright Fest.
Although Fall Rally is on October 12th, Key Clubs should start
preparing now! You should be sure to stress the importance of
attending Fall Rally from the start of the school year and then talk to
your current Lieutenant Governor or any District Board member
about how many people your club will be taking to Fall Rally or if
there is an issue or concern regarding transportation, etc. Fall Rally is
great way to get to know people who share the same passion for
service as you, meet the members of the New Jersey District Board,
and have lots of fun!

Dues IncreaseX
Hello Division 13, Here is an explanation of the dues process for the 2014-2015 Service Year. During the 71st International Convention, the cost of international dues was raised to $7.00. District dues are still $5.50. Clubs are also permitted to charge an additional $5.00 in order to nurture their club treasuries. The minimum charge for dues is no less than $12.50 and no more than $17.50. If the dues payment for your club is received by November 1st, 2014, the club will win an "Early Bird Award." If you are unable to have them received by the previously mentioned date, you can still send the dues payment in to meet the requirement for a dues paid club status. The deadline for regular dues payment is December 1st, 2014. Remember, for both of these dates, the dues payment must be received by the District, not postmarked. As I am sure you already know, dues are vital for the smooth functioning of the District. Not only do they keep the District and International progress afloat, but they are also essential in coming back to reward members. Dues help pay for district functions like Regional Training Conferences, Fall Rally, and District Convention as well as help to fund the district website and cover the cost of printing the Jersey Key. Here are step-by-step guidelines for paying this year's Dues:
Process for Dues Payment
1. Go to www.keyclub.org/MUC
2. Log into the Membership Update Center using the information provided from your adviser (see the below list for instructions on setting up a password if you do not already have one).
3. Update and edit all necessary member information (ex: deleting seniors, updating officer list)
4. Once your club member information is accurate and updated, print the invoice and either 1) mail it with a check or 2) submit credit card information directly after generating an invoice
How to Create a Password (Completed by an Adviser)
1. If you are new to using this system click the Register/Reset Password the first time you use the Membership Update Center
2. Enter a faculty adviser’s email address (NOT a personal address) and further instructions to set up a password will be sent to that address – check for this email but note the response may not be immediate.
3. If an adviser or club secretary is having difficulties accessing the Membership Update Center, send an email to Member Services and be sure to include what the problem is and all pertinent information (club’s full name, your name, phone, email). Note this information must be emailed.
