2015 Little North Pole

Posted by   on   | ,   | No comments 
 I would like to thank everyone for participating in this event! The Little North Pole took place at 145-07 Neponsit Ave, Far Rockaway, which dissuaded a bunch of people to come. They had an overflow of volunteers, mainly because Key Clubbers from Divisions 8A, 8 and some people from 11 came along! Division 9(US!) just stood around and enjoyed the free food and live entertainment. Some lucky members got to help out with serving the food or selling the raffle tickets. Overall, I felt that the event was a great success! The decorations, people and live performances all blew me away. I will definitely look forward to returning next year!

 The first event will be the Little North Pole event! This takes place at 145-07 Neponsit Ave, Far Rockaway at 1 pm. We will be meeting at Midwood at 12 pm. Division 9 will be volunteering with Divisions 8 and 8a at Little North Pole. This is an event started by a Kiwanis member to raise money for research into juvenile diabetes through donations. There will be live entertainment and free food (donations encouraged). Volunteer activities might include dressing up and handing out gifts. You must bring a santa hat!

2015 Division 9 Ice Skating Fundraiser

Posted by   on   | ,   | No comments 
 The Division 9 Ice Skating Fundraiser was a great success! We had over 70 participants from five different schools, including Dewey, Murrow and Midwood! The event started at 11 am and ended whenever you were too tired to skate. It took place at the Lefrak Center at Lakeside Prospect Park. For some people, this was their first Key Club event. Jessie Lin from Midwood High School said "It was fun and I got to make new friends." Mica Tonge also from Midwood said "My first Key Club event was more fun than I thought, everyone was friendly & helped each other out skating. The leaders helped everyone get what they needed and put everyone before themselves." We raised $215, which will be donated to the Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation! This event was very fun and we look forward to having another one very soon.

Elemonate Challenge Results!

Posted by   on   | No comments 
 The Elemonate Challenge was created by Key Club to benefit UNICEF and the Eliminate Project. It is like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, except this challenge raises awareness for the Eliminate Project. The Eliminate Project helps provide vaccines to help fight against maternal and neonatal tetanus(MNT). Every 11 minutes, a baby is lost to MNT. $1.80 is enough to give a mother three vaccines to protect her and her children from MNT. We performed the challenge by having each officer and a volunteer eat a slice of lemon. Donations were based on whoever did not pick the winning person or people who didn't eat the lemon slice fast enough. We raised $53 during this challenge! This means we were able to provide almost 30 mothers with vaccines against MNT!!
