One Family _______________________ Volume 1 | Issue 6 | December 2018 Region 7 | Division 1 Lt. Governor Clarence Manglal-lan
Greetings! Texas-Oklahoma District | Division 1 | December 2018 ______________________________________ Hey, Key Clubbers! I’ve had so much fun travel and visiting all of the great clubs and friends across our division. I just concluded my first round of Lt. Governor visits this month with my first visit to Polytechnic High School. There are so many great people in our division, all the friends I’ve made and been able to share laughs with, I have no doubt that our division is strong and can be even stronger united together! As we enter the second semester of the year, Spring looms around the corner with the cool breeze coming in, trees growing back their leaves, and Seniors prepare to go into college. As Spring continues on, my transition from one chapter of my life to the next does as well. It has been an extreme honor and something I am truly thankful for, to have had the opportunity to serve as your Lt. Governor. As I will be going to college soon, we begin to transition from one service year to the next, which means new leaders and new members. I’m super excited to see what is in store for our district and our division for the next coming year, especially for those who I’ve had the privilege of meeting and knowing that you’ll be here next year. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, comments, and/or requests for the district. Thank you for all the memories that we’ve shared together as we go into our final semester of the year, which to us seniors, is our last few months in Key Club. The T-O District motto is “Whatever it takes”, and I will always ensure that we are doing whatever it takes to better serve our family.

Governor transcends the individual.
