We want YOU at our Region 8 Meeting! Work together, gain information, elect officers! What: Regional Meeting
SERVICE When: February 2nd, 2013
Who: All club officers and advisors from Region 8 (including Columbia, Camden, and Darlington), and 13-14 year district officer candidates. Held by: Ana Reyes, Lieutenant Governor Division 20 (Darlington), Christine Reynolds, Lieutenant Governor Division 23A (Camden), and myself, Caroline Kelley, Lieutenant Governor Division 23B (Columbia)
Being a Lt. Governor To be quite honest, being a Lt. Governor is life-changing. As result, I have been privileged with countless opportunities, like learning lifelong leaderships and communication skills and attending numerous Key Club events. The entire District board is filled with tremendous Key Clubbers that I am lucky enough to have lasting friendships with. Looking back at this past year, I am so thankful of every experience and piece of knowledge that being on the District board has given me.
LEADERSHIP
Regional Meetings are a wonderful way for divisions to work together on local projects, gain information specifically related to Region 8, and to elect Lt. Governors that will represent their divisions on the Carolinas District Board. This is truly a wonderful time to meet and correspond with other clubs near you and to learn important details about upcoming events, and more!
Attention all Key Clubbers!
Lt. Governor Elections will be taking place at this Regional Meeting. *I highly encourage the attendance of your clubs’ officers and advisors, as well as freshmen, sophomores, and juniors that wish to run for Lt. Governor or District Office. I cannot wait to see you there on February 2nd, 2013!
And the best thing that I can say is that I hope you believe me and run for yourself. Prove me right, because I want YOU to be a part of this unforgettable experience called being a Lt. Governor. Please know that I am always available if you have any questions. And I genuinely look forward to seeing you at our Regional Meeting and District Convention. Caroline Kelley Lieutenant Governor Division 23B

Words for the wise... “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” George Eliot “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.” Mother Theresa “And this is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.” Libba Brey “Remember if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm… As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” Audrey Hepburn
“Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.” Theodore Roosevelt “What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” Joseph Addison “Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” Jamie Paolinetti
