Now that it’s a new year, I was really inspired to create a new cover for my newsletter. I decided to use all the pictures that reflected all the amazing memories we made throughout the year. From DCON, to Seattle Rally, to the Eliminate Dance, to our DCMs — all of those memories will be cherished. A new year is an opportunity for change and improvement. Making a new cover with a new style to my newsletters is my first step to improvement. Even though it’s a new year, our love, passion, and dedication to service will always be the same. How will you take your first step to improve?
Usually I would give a special shout out to an individual who has helped me or influenced me in some way in the past month, but for this particular newsletter, I would like to do something different. I would like to thank our entire division, but also our sister division. I am very thankful to have met and befriended so many hilarious and lovely individuals. In the past year I enjoyed all the jokes we shared, all the pranks we made, all the “challenges” we accomplished. I enjoyed every single day spent with Division 34 and Division 35 and I’m thankful to say that I got to serve these two divisions as a Lieutenant Governor they can go to. I love you, Tiger-Sharks!
