Key Notes - January 2015 - Volume I Issue VIII - Page I
To celebrate the new year, Parsippany
Hills High School’s Key Club hosted its
chapter election in late January. While
this may seem early, it is to prepare for
NJ Key Club’s biggest event of the year,
District Convention. All original and
new executive board members are
required to attend this event. With nine
executive board positions: President,
Vice President, Recording Secretary,
Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer,
two Historians and two Editors, and
only three positions running
unopposed: President, Vice President,
and Recording Secretary, the elections
were off to a great start. With Patricia
Kou as the 2014-2015 President, Vanessa
Ting as the Vice President, and Justin
Lu as the Recording Secretary, the rest
of the members proceeded to hear
speeches from the eleven other
candidates. The two candidates for
Treasurer went first: Shailee Shah and
Vishal Mansuria.
Elections
They were then followed by Asha Patel
and Arijit Pingle, the two candidates for
Corresponding Secretary. Three
candidates ran for Editor: Tara
Srinivasan, Ananya Nair, and Sharon
Christian. Karoline Xiong, Thomas
Shweh, Arielle Rosenberg, and Katie
Kerrigan were the four candidates for
Historian. For each position, the
candidates were qualified and dedicated
Key Clubbers. Each candidate was
required to fill out an application prior
to the election but it was their speeches
that really showed off their talents and
abilities. We are excited to hear and
announce the results of the election and
see who will lead Parsippany Hills High
School’s Key Club towards another
great service year!

“I believe that my qualifications for Historian are best
represented as a bag of candy:
Like Laffy Taffy, I will be flexible with my schedule, I
will stretch so that I can take photos for the scrapbook.
Like Chocolates, I will be full of caffeine. I will pull all
nighters just to get the job done.
Like Jolly Ranchers, I want to be clear and consistent
with you. I want to be honest and if I make a mistake, I
won't hide it.
Most importantly, I will be like a Jawbreaker, I will not
crack under pressure. I will remain strong and firm until
I finish the job.”
-- Thomas Shweh, Candidate for Historian

This year, Key Club will be holding its District Convention Harry Potter themed
- allowing attendees to “Discover the Magic of Service.” As usual, Convention
will be held at the Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch, New Jersey. The cost of
attendance is $265 per person, but with the help of Parsippany’s Kiwanis,
members only have to pay $205. There is also a discount depending on each
member’s sales for Yankee Candle. There is a maximum of twenty people that are
able to go on the trip, so make sure to hand in your forms as soon as possible
when they are available.
District Convention offers a great opportunity to meet Key Clubbers across the
state who share the same passion for service. Educational and developing
workshops led by the District Board are offered to both general members and
local chapter officers.
Other exciting events
at DCON include the
impromptu essay
contest, talent show,
and the dances. There’
s a whole lot to do
during this weekend,
so we hope to see you
there!
