Sorry for the mess up post, but this post is all about pictures.

Pictures are huge part of Key Club.
Thanks again.

Comments and Searches.
Hey everyone!
So today I want to discuss the use of commenting and searching.
Commenting:
I encourage it, I do. I really want all of you who read to comment more. Even if it is just to say - Good job, Bad job, or Cool. I want you remarks. Why? Because .....
1] The blog is for you, it's all for you. I don't format all of this for myself. I want you all to be the know. If you are, then I am doing my job. If not, then I want to try and fix it. Commenting will let me know this.
2] If you don't like the look of it, I can change it. Simple as that.
3] To get some new ideas for future things.
4] I can help put up information you need!
So you see commenting is a good thing.
How Do I Comment?
Underneath each post it will say 0 Comments or 5 Comments, etc. Click there and it will bring you to a comment page. It will ask for you to leave your name which (please do, I would like to know who you are) and then viola!
Rules:
-Be nice, not rude (if you need to critique, don't do it in a slanderous way)
-Each comment has to be moderated by me anyway, so even if you post horrible things - I can take it off quicker than people post it.
-The JLHS Key Club is not responsible and or affiliated with the comments, any comments that are in anyway shape or form rude/slanderous/inappropriate/etc that are not attended to in a timely manner and effect others - is not the doing of the Key Club.
Searching:
Have you ever needed to find an agenda?
Or missed out on a charity of the week and it was right here, you just couldn't see it?
Well not anymore.
Now just go up to the top left hand box and type in keywords for the post. Such as: charity, introduction, agenda, etc.
It's all here!
I want this blog to be a great experience for you.
I am sorry for the massive blog updates lately but because of the renovations I want you to be informed.

Resource Page!
Hey Guys,
Instead of constantly adding posts on agendas/permission slips, I will be posting them here on this Resource Page. The link to this page will be on the right under Navigation, so its easily accessed! Within two days of each meeting I will be posting the agendas/permission slips that I have received.
If for some strange reason it isn't here, comment and ask. :]
Permission Slips/Forms:
Photo Permission Slip:
I love to post pictures and take pictures at events - so does our Historians! However, I need your permission to put it on our blog and future newsletters. Our historians, too, need your permission to put it in our scrapbook. So if you haven't filled it out already, print this and give it to a board member, or Ms. Scalzo!
Agendas:
Just in case you missed the meetings and needed to know what was coming up!
May 6
June 3rd's Agenda has been removed for the mean time.
July 8
Newsletters:
The PDF's still aren't uploading correctly but as soon as they do - ALL of my newsletters will be up here - promise!
Miscellaneous:
Dining to Donate:
Our coupon is on our Photobucket account, however I will post it here as well (the link, anyway).
Dining to Donate!
Photobucket:
Pictures are a big part of Key Club. It would be a help to our Key Club Historians, who are in charge of the scrapbook. Besides, pictures are a great way to document all the things we do and the fun things that happen when we do them!
Now things just got easier. Once you take pictures at events, just upload it onto your computer and then upload it onto our new fancy JLHS Key Club Photobucket for later use! Of course, there are rules to what you upload.
1] What you upload reflects the JLHS Key Club so just remember, no joking around.
2] What you upload will be used in newsletters, blogs, and or the scrapbook so don't upload anything you will mind seeing.
These rules are pretty basic, and I am all sure that you know this, but if not - here you go.

5/30 Charity of the Week - Change for the Children Foundation
Hey Guys!
I have a small note about this weeks C.O.T.W. This week I have chosen more of a foundation, and this is why. You all are familiar with last weeks 11:11AM charity, right? Well I was so moved that stars and bands that we all listen to were making that much of a difference. So, I chose this foundation because it is just another example about how great some bands are.
-Drum roll!-
Charity of the Week: Change for the Children Foundation!
Though most celebrities have taken their money and put it toward expensive purses and other unnecessary items, the Jonas Brothers, on the other hand, have started their own charity called the Change for the Children Foundation. Its mission is to help others that could not help themselves. They want to spread confidence, and support to children in need.
Mission:
According to their website, the Jonas Brothers have said:
"We started the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation to support programs that motivate and inspire children to face adversity with confidence, determination and the will to succeed. When we started the foundation, we figured the best people to help children are their peers -- kids helping other kids who are a little less fortunate. And you proved us right!
Thanks to you, our first initiative - "You Decide. You Donate." - was a huge success. With tons of support from young people all over the world, we were able to give generous donations to five amazing charities: NothingButNets.net, American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Camp, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, and Summer Stars.
With your willingness to get involved and make a difference, you have inspired us to continue working to make the world a better place for kids everywhere. Keep coming back to the Change for the Children site to find out how you can be a part of this incredible journey!"
D-Vision:
As a part of the Change for the Children Foundation, D-Vision’s goal is to help people with Diabetes, spread global awareness, and most importantly, help find a cure. Nick Jonas, fellow member of the Jonas Brothers, was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes in November of 2005, so it is very close to his own heart. Nick wants to shed light on diabetes, and he even wrote a song about his experiences with it titled A Little Bit Longer. On their website, Nick states “. . . I wanted to be able to do something about it. I hope that I can be that positive light.”
What can I do to help?
Lots of things!
1] SHOP!
http://changeforthechildren.org/store.php
By shopping at their store, a portion of each proceed goes to the Foundation. Depending on what you buy the money will go to either 1] supporting the youth or 2] helping the fight against Diabetes.
or 2] TEXT!
http://changeforthechildren.org/signup.php
By singing up you will receive texts on volunteer projects near your area!
It's that simple!
For more information:
Either go to their website: http://www.changeforthechildren.org/
OR
Go look at their fact sheet: http://changeforthechildren.org/pdfs/cftc_pdf.pdf
You all can make a difference!
Have a great weekend guys!

5/22 Charity of the Week - 11:11am
Hey Guys!
Sorry for the late charity of the week, I had planned to post this immediately after the board's President Council Meeting (PCM) but unfortunately, thanks to the Applebee's Shrimp and a weird movie Icee, I left early because I was sick. So, all of this together, I totally forgot - Sorry!
So to make up for it, I'm adding a quote of the day, for today :]
Okay so drum roll please . . . -drum roll added-
The Charity of the Week is the 11:11AM Charity
11:11AM is a charity that started with a small goal, to help Andrew McMahon (singer/song writer/front man/pianist of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate) with his fight with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. He was diagnosed on May 27, 2005.
Now this charity is aimed at everyone with Leukemia. No one is left behind!
What does 11:11 AM mean?
As posted on their website (http://www.1111am.com/) . . .
"11:11 is a rather cliche’d excerpt taken from the Something Corporate song, Konstantine. The lyrics read, “I always catch the clock, it’s 11:11…” 11:11 is believed to be the time to make a wish, as all the numbers are 1’s. Some say it only works in the morning, because in 24 hour mode 11 PM is actually 23:00. Although we are making out wishes at 11:11 A.M, A.M. stands for Andrew McMahon, in this case."
How do I help?
The newer way to help is to join this contest. It's fun. And if you win you not only gain the happiness of helping others but . . .
-Two(2) tickets and a Meet and Greet to any Plain White T’s show in 2009
-Jack's Mannequin Merchandise Bundle
-The Academy Is' Drumhead AUTOGRAPHED BY THE BAND
-Something Corporate AUTOGRAPHED RARE Ruthless CD Single
And many more.
For more information on the contest check out: http://www.1111am.com/fundraiser/
There are many ways to help, but the most common is the buying of their orange 11:11AM bracelet and their t-shirt. Their t-shirt says Wish. Love. Hope. Cure. 11:11AM. Glamour Kills. (Note: Glamour Kills is the company the shirt is made).
You can see bands wearing these like . . .
-The Academy Is...
-Ace Enders and A Million Different People
-All Time Low
-Angels and Airwaves
-Ashbury
-Close to Home
-The Color Fred
-Cute Is What We Aim For
-Days Away
-Envy on the Coast
-Every Avenue
-Fall Out Boy
-Hit The Lights
-Jack's Mannequin
-Just Surrender
-Lovedrug
-Mae
-The Maine
-The Morning Light
-Motion City Soundtrack
-My Favorite Highway
-The Panic Devision
-Panic At The Disco
-Plain White Tees
-Relient K
-Sherwood
-Skylong
-The Spill Canvas
-Treaty of Paris
And Many More!
Check out http://www.1111am.com/1111-store/ if you are interested in purchasing!
Where is Andrew Now?
Right this second? I couldn't tell you but . . .
Andrew is still fighting his leukemia battle. Spreading news everywhere!
What does Warped Tour have to do with this?
I'm glad you asked!
Usually 11:11AM travels with all of the bands that are in Warped Tour, and they spread awareness.
Unfortunately, this year they were unable to plan something with it. But this is not the last time you will hear of the 11:11AM Charity!
Who Runs 11:11AM?
A high schooler, and multiple college kids. Don't believe me? Check out their staff page!
That's what's so great about charities, they can be amazingly effective and you can do it!
For More Information . . .
Go online to their website http://www.1111am.com/
Or their facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/1111-AM-Charity/37909094925
Or their myspace page www.myspace.com/1111am
So that's all for the 11:11AM Charity :]
Quote of the Day:
"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do." - Helen Keller
oh, and just one more - for good luck :]

Photobucket!
Hey Guys!
As I said in a previous blog, not every key clubber could be at every event - it's understandable. So this is why I had mentioned that you all should bring cameras, and take pictures (for the scrapbook and this wonderful blog that is lacking the picture personalization from all of you!)
Pictures are a big part of Key Club. It would be a help to Vincent, our Key Club Historian, who is in charge of the scrapbook. Besides, pictures are a great way to document all the things we do and the fun things that happen when we do them!
Now things just got easier. Once you take pictures at events, just upload it onto your computer and then upload it onto our new fancy JLHS Key Club Photobucket for later use! Of course, there are rules to what you upload.
1] What you upload reflects the JLHS Key Club so just remember, not joking around.
2] What you upload will be used in newsletters, blogs, and or the scrapbook so don't upload anything you will mind seeing.
These rules are pretty basic, and I am all sure that you know this, but if not - here you go.

5/15 Charity of the Week - The Make A Wish Foundation.
Okay so before I announce our first ever charity of the week, let me answer some questions.
1] You're posting this on a Friday? But it's supposed to be the charity of the week.
Thank you anonymous questioner, I have a well supported answer to this. The reason I am posting the charity of the weeks on Friday is because everyone is free of school. Let's face it - you may not have time to check the website in the middle of the week. So the first thing I want you to see is the charity of the week, when you do come on. It's very important to know some charities. You know, open your eyes a little.
2] What types of charities are you doing?
Everything. You'll be surprised what there are charities for.
Anyway, back to the first official charity of the week.
-Cue the music-
I wanted to start with one we all know, but may not know fully so our first charity of the week is . . . .
The Make-A-Wish Foundation!
Opening in 1980 the Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded when Chris Greicus, a very young boy, realized he wanted to be a police office. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has spread smiles to kids who have very serious life-threatening medical conditions. Their mission is to make a life changing effect on a child who's life is being threatened.
The Make-A-Wish foundation is probably one of the most widely known and universal charities. And as their website states: "As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish."
1] How do they grant wishes?
All the information you could ever think of is on their website (wish.org) however, I shall list the process here.
Step 1: Referral
Children who have not been granted a wish from another company are eligible. Parents, friends, and medical professionals all are able to refer someone to this organization.
Step 2: Medical eligibility
They have a lot of company doctors who access the child's medical records. The child must be in a very life-threatening position (the child does not have to die - many live on after the wish is granted - but they must be diagnosed with something life threatening).
Step 3: Finding the true wish
In order to find out the wish, the Make-A-Wish Foundation sends a team to talk to the child to find out what they really want.
Step 4: Creating joy
The team builds an entire occasion around their wish. It's an unforgettable experience that effects everyone.
2] Does New Jersey have a Make-A-Wish Chapter?
Yes we do. All information is on the website (wish.org) but then again I will post it here.

1] You're posting this on a Friday? But it's supposed to be the charity of the week.
Thank you anonymous questioner, I have a well supported answer to this. The reason I am posting the charity of the weeks on Friday is because everyone is free of school. Let's face it - you may not have time to check the website in the middle of the week. So the first thing I want you to see is the charity of the week, when you do come on. It's very important to know some charities. You know, open your eyes a little.

Newsletter, Articles, and Pictures! Oh my!
Hey everyone, I hope your week is going along great!
Now last week, during the meeting, we decided to go green and not print a million of copies of the newsletter. Unfortunately, though I am still dabbling with Adobe PDFs and other fun things like that, I have yet to transition the newsletter from my computer to the Internet.
But don't you fear. In the mean time, I just wanted to hit the main subjects from it here. Then, hopefully by next meeting (cross your fingers!) I will have fixed it all.
1] We have a new board.
I know you are well aware of this fact by now, but this is in case you somehow did not know. Don't know the board? Check the JLHS Key Club's profile!
And, I am sorry for the huge entry here, but there is a lot of information!

2] The Blog.
We have a blog. Just in case I fooled you here :]!
3] March of Dimes.
Now these were two of my favorite articles, so I would like to post it here!
JLHS KeyClub Helps Out!
"Just recently some fellow Key Clubbers took part in the March of Dimes Walk. March of Dimes is an organization whose goal is to help prevent birth defects and disorders in young infant babies. Held along the Avon/Belmar beach, Jackson Key Club helped the March of Dimes fight for the health of babies. Overall the walk was extremely successful. It was not only extremely fun, but inspiring. Many walkers had t-shirts in memory of a beloved, and there were tons of people there. When the March of Dimes marched down the streets of Belmar they were dedicated and for good reason. For more information on the March of Dimes check their official website."
And in addition,
Celebrities involved with March of Dimes?
"According to the Key Club International’s Facebook, not just Key Clubbers walked the March of Dimes route in Nashville Tennessee! Kelly Clarkson walked as well (you may know her as the first winner of American Idol)! She is known for many of her hits such as Miss Independent, My life would suck without you and many more. Despite the rain and horrible weather that plagued the walk, Kelly, and many more determined walkers finished the route on the hope of helping innocent babies.
Key Clubbers who were at the walk got to meet Kelly, but when they did Kelly was thanking them! The Key Club International’s Facebook says that Kelly had thanked all for their support and their coming!
What an inspiration!
All information stated above can be found on the Key Club International Facebook. (All credit including the picture goes to Key Club International)."

4] Articles.
Let’s face it – not every key clubber makes every single event. This is why we need everybody’s help! Take your camera to the next event! Take pictures of everyone having a great time. If pictures aren’t your thing then write a short article about it, interview someone, etc. The newsletter could use another person’s voice in describing their experiences at certain events!
Articles do not have to be very long (maximum though is 400 words!) Once the article is written you can either find one of the board members who could find myself (Alexia – the editor – hi nice to meet you!), hand it to me directly (I will stay after for Key Club every Wednesdays for board and regular meetings, and I have A lunch in the C Cafeteria if you want to hunt me down). However please hand them to me soon after the event has taken place so I could put it in the next newsletter. Entries can either be hand written or typed.
Alrighty, that's it for now. Later in the week I will be posting our first charity of the week! So tune in!
Just enough time for a Quote of the Day: “There is power when you give!” – Pedro, Indiana Key Clubber.
Thanks for reading all of this!

An Introduction to Charities.
Hey guys,
Charities are a huge part of Key Club, especially since our goal is to give and help. But most Key Clubbers do not know a lot of charities. Most of you - I am only guessing - can name 20 off the top of your head. So on the blog there will plenty of Charities of the Week.
But before we get into that here's a little introduction of charities.
What is a charity?
An organization which collects money to support some cause. (Websters Pocket English Dictionary)
Who can start a charity?
Anyone. That's the great thing about them. They are started by giving and loving people, like you!
How many charities are there?
A LOT! Believe me, there is a charity for ever cause out there.
What charities does Key Club help?
Very good question. We try to help as much as we can but our Key Club cannot possible stretch our self to reach every charity. This year the main project is Children's Specialized Hospital. But we also raise money for people with cancer, the poor, abandoned kids, and so much more!
How can I help?
You already started to! You joined the Key Club which helps out lots of people! Now, start being active, and joining committees.
In addition to Key Club there is one more way you can help . . .
Goodsearch.com is just like Google (and when I say is just like i mean it's the same thing - has very similar results and everything!). It's a search engine but for every one thing you search, it donates money to the charity of your choice.
How many times have you all been on google for a project? Lets estimate and say 100 times this year. Okay and there are, lets estimate again, 50 of you? (Now I think I am terribly underestimating but this is for sake of example). So then between all of us that is 5000 searches. Now since GoodSearch donates a penny for every search, just that one spare second that you needed information for a project has already donated 50 dollars between all of us.
In addition, do all of your shopping through their online shopping mall, GoodShop.com, where you can shop at more than 900 top online retailers and a percentage of your purchases will go to the charity or school of your choice. You pay the same price as you normally would, but a donation goes to your cause! (About 30% of the price you paid!)
It doesn't take much to give. Spread the word and Goodsearch.
That's all for now.

May 6 Meeting and News!
Hey guys!
So there was a meeting today, and for those of you who didn't go - you probably aren't reading this. But if by some magical way you are, don't you fret. I have the agenda as a little link here:
So here's the link - click!
If this link turns out to be a problem - because I understand that some computers just don't like links - I might just type up the agendas here.
Oh and I know all of you are saddened that you did not get to look at the newsletter (I feel the same way!) Also, since we are always Eco-friendly in Key Club, I will be sending the newsletter through email and hopefully I will post a link for it on the blog. But that is a big maybe.
Cross your fingers!
Anyway, we are always busy so be aware of upcoming things and make sure to check in!

Introduction.
Hey everyone!
If you're reading this then, most likely, you are reading it for the first time! Yay JLHS Key Club Blogs!
Shall I start with an introduction? I shall.
Hi, I'm your Key Club Editor, Alexia. Hello, Bonjour, Hola! Konitchiwa!? Did I spell that right - probably not.
Why did I create this blog?
Well that is a great question anonymous reader! I decided to make a JLHS Key Club Blog for many reasons. Shall I list? I shall. (Don't worry, I won't say shall all the time!)
1] Blogs are cool.
The end. Just kidding!
2] Everyone goes on the Internet - easy access to Key Club information!
3] Every once and a while you will forget your information (yes you anonymous reader!) and by writing the information here, you can get it easily.
4] This way, when you do check up here, I can remind you when new things will happen - and remind you that you signed up to do something or help out.
5] I want the Key Club to know each other, for it to be more personal. That is why I made a blog. I think blogs show that though I can be formal - tell you point blank that your supposed to do something - being informal and more personal is the best way to go.
Here are some things you could look forward to:
1] Me! No? Well then . . .
2] Charity of the weeks!
3] Reminders!
4] Puzzles (Yay!)
5] Insight on Key Club International News!
6] Other AWESOME Key Club events
7] Pictures and videos from events.
8] A new update very often. A few times a week (on a busy week of course).
9] Quotes!
10] And other fun things of many sorts!
Okay well, this is all for now. More real information and updates coming soon. STAY TUNED!
