2) A LETTER FROM OUR LIEUTENEANT GOVERNOR CLARENCE MANGLAL-LAN Hey, Key Clubbers!

This version of The Service Purpose should be a lot better! This version is specifically edited and formatted to work flawlessly with Issuu, the platform we will be using to publish our Divisional Newsletter.

First of all, I want to say thank you for those of you who attended our Regional Training Conference at Guyer High School! It was a bit of a drive, but it was fantastic to be able to meet the fantastic people and officers we will be working together with.

As you know, our main focus this year will be increasing our impact in our communities and cities, to do this we need to strengthen our Division in the time and resources we have. Therefore; teamwork and cooperation will not only be fundamental, but necessary for us. Not only to strengthen Key Club but to make a greater impact on unity towards everyone in our community.

To do this, I am officially announcing that this year, our Divisional Project, KFamily Konnections, will focus on Kiwanis Family connections. We will go more into detail in Section 8 of our newsletter. But in order for our project to work, I am asking for your cooperation, for your effort, in order for us to make an impact on our community. To serve those among us, no matter what race, what education, what social class, what color, what gender, etc. To help shine a light to those yearning to be free from hunger, those yearning to be free from pain, free from poverty, free from suffering, etc. And we have the capability to make that impact, WE, Division 1 North, have the capability to do whatever we dream. All you need to do, Is to believe that I can, that you can, that WE can.

Thank you and yours in service, Clarence Manglal-lan Lieutenant Governor – Elect, Division 1 North

PURPOSE

8) District Project: K – Family Konnections

THE SERVICE

Our Divisional Project, K –Family: Konnections, will focus on working together with 4 of the main Kiwanis Family Organizations other than Key Club. Specific club officers will be assigned to specific Connections, and our Lieutenant Governor - Elect, Clarence Manglal-lan, will work on all.

• Kiwanis Club: The Kiwanis Clubs in our area are our main source of support and sponsorship. Kiwanis International is basically the adult version of Key Club.

• Circle K: Our area is included in Kiwanis Division 1; however, in Key Club our Division is split into 2 sections, 1 North and 1 South. Currently there is no Circle K Club in Division 1. Our goal this year is to establish at least 1-2. We can accomplish this by getting in contact with current college/university students, and/or former Key Club Alumni to help begin the charter process.

• Builder’s Club and K-Kids: The Kiwanis Family starts way before high school, with K-Kids focusing on Elementary schools, and Builder’s Club focusing on middle/junior high schools. Our Division currently has little to none. By chartering either, it will help boost our membership in the long run future of our division.
