Hello from your outgoing LTG Hi Division 34!
It’s been officially over a year since I was elected last year to serve as your Lieutenant Governor. It’s been an amazing term so far and I can’t wait for the last stretch! Thank you to everyone who attended the January election rally and I hope to see everyone at the February PreDCON DCM! It’ll be a chance to bond with people from the division as well as a chance for DCON attendees to familiar themselves with the program.
If you’ve ordered a T-Shirt please give your money to your presidents and make sure your size is correct on the spreadsheet! Finally don’t forget to order your D34 Spirit Gear! Anyone interested is welcome to order! In Caring and Service,
Angela Shin
Hello from your incoming LTG
Hello division 34 sharks! If you don't know by now, I'm the 2016-2017 lieutenant governor! With the winter ending and dcon coming up so soon, make sure to buy a spirit pack filled with super cool things such as pins, a vuvuzela, and a lightsaber! It's sad to say Angela's term is ending soon but I'll make sure to keep the division on top of things! Angela did such an amazing job as an ltg and I think she deserves a pat on the back for what she has done for our division. Make sure to bring your A game to dcon! If you don't feel prepared, don't worry, make sure you come to the PreDCON and it'll prepare you for what's coming up! If you have any ideas or chants, make sure to write it down and share it with all of us, no idea is a bad idea. Hope to see you all at the next upcoming DCM! Sincerely,
Brittney Tran

International Update from Greetings, Can you believe it? Christmas was just a few days ago and the new year is just around the corner. Time truly does fly. As we begin 2016, I urge you to take a step back and think about all of the great things that we achieved in 2015. Of course 2015 had its ups and downs – just like any other year – but I like to focus on the milestones that made this year the one to remember. The highlight for me is learning that I would be serving you all for the 2015-2016 service year! It was truly a time to remember and it will be the first thing that I think of when I remember 2015. Since it is now the holiday season it is the perfect time to give back to those in your community . Over the break I will be volunteering at a local soup kitchens and food banks for those less fortunate in the new Jersey. I urge you all to try and focus on the giving par of the holiday season (though the receiving part isn’t bad either!). I also hope you all take some time for yourselves and to spend time with your family. You’ve all worked so hard, and you all deserve to relax! Happy holidays to you all! Yours in caring and service, Devin Sun Key Club International Trustee
