Greetings! Texas-Oklahoma District | Division 1 | July 2018 ______________________________________ Hey, Key Clubbers! This past month has been such a productive month for us on the Texas-Oklahoma District Board! From attending International Convention in Chicago, District Summer Board Meeting in Dallas, and Kiwanis DCON in Abilene, Key Club and Kiwanis have so much in stock for our future, and I can't express how excited I am for the 2018-2019 Key Club Service Year. Thank you for all your hard work this summer, as the start of the year approaches new members join in and more volunteer opportunities open up! Your work in making our communities a better place is extraordinary and makes a huge impact in the lives of the families around us. I am looking forward to the memories that your members will make together, being a part of one huge Key Club Family, and I hope that I too can be a part of those memories as well. As we embark on another wonderful year of service. Your clubs will have the extraordinary experience of being able to meet and greet high schools such as North Crowley, Everman, Cleburne, Granbury, etc. And I have the honor of facilitating these inter-club events and experiences with you. I will be doing my best to help your Key Club families grow from beyond just the high school and club level, to the division level with all your fellow Key Clubbers in and around our cities! As we join together this year to become‌ The One Family. It is an honor to have the amazing opportunity to serve all of you next year as the Division 1 (Or Division 1N\1S) Lieutenant Governor for the 2018-2019 year! I am so excited to work with all of you!
