THE SERVICE
2) A Letter from our Lieutenant Governor Clarence Manglal-lan Hey, Key Clubbers! I hope each and everyone of you is having a fun and fantastic summer vacation! Whether you have plans or not, don’t forget that the summer is also a great opportunity for you to be of service to your home, school, and community! Feel free to use this time to catch up on volunteer hours at foodbanks, community centers, churches, etc. Thank you to the clubs who were in attendance at our second Divisional Council Meeting at the Westside YMCA. It was a pleasure to meet the officers we will be working together with this upcoming year! To those who weren’t able to attend, don’t worry, we will be holding future meetings this year in order to keep our clubs in tip top shape, and updated with what the District board and I are up to. Our next DCM will be in August, and we will be covering programs and organizations presented to our District at our recent Key Club International Convention. Second, because it is my responsibility to ensure the full training of all club officers, we will be holding a Divisional Training Conference sometime August-September, by the time we have full club officer boards in the schools in our division. I will be sure to give you set in stone dates and plans as soon as I get them, I will be sure to give you at least a 2 week notice beforehand, 1 and a half at the very least. Until then, continue serving your home, school, and community to the very best of your abilities! Contact me if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns. Thank you and yours in service, Clarence Manglal-lan Lieutenant Governor , Division 1 North
PURPOSE
2) A Letter from our International Vice President Mary Grace Lewis Hello Division 1 North! My name is Mary Grace Lewis and I serve as your International Vice President. I hope that you're all enjoying the beginning of the summer, and I hope that you all have big plans. Summer is always a fantastic time to get a kickstart on the service year - with no school in session, you have more time to plan that big event you've been thinking about for awhile, reach out to other Key Clubbers, and attend as many events with your KFam as possible! I hope that you've all recovered from your epic district convention, and with that in mind, I hope you're all excited for ICON. As the host district of International Convention, you will be representing KCI to all the districts in Key Club International, which is an exciting privilege and honor. I hope that you all feel inspired with the beginning of the new service year, and I hope you decide to work hard to meet all of your goals, even if they're as small as reaching a certain number of service hours, or as grand as planning an event. Always feel free to reach out to myself or any of the other members of the International Board especially your awesome trustee, Kino-Paul Hurylington! We're always here for you, and we're always happy to make your acquaintance. On behalf of all of I-Board, I want to wish you an amazing summer and send all my best wishes and support toward you, with the confident belief that this will be an amazing year. Mary Grace Lewis International Vice President

3) ICON: San Antonio ICON was a fantastic opportunity to spend time and bond with Key Clubbers in our district, meet and greet other Key Club members, officers, and advisers from all around the globe, an opportunity to learn more about Key Club, Kiwanis International, and the organizations it works together with, but to also learn the true meaning of servant leadership and what the domains of having the Courage to Engage, the Call to Lead, and the Heart to Serve truly mean. From volunteering at the multiple workshops and forums taught, meeting Key Club members, International officers, district officers from Around the world, and exploring the city of San Antonio, ICON will always be a Memory I will always cherish.

9) Divisional 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, 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.
