THE SERVICE

2) A Letter from our Lieutenant Governor Clarence Manglal-lan Hey, Key Clubbers!

This past month we had the amazing opportunity to host our first annual Key Club Awards Ceremony and Officer Induction! I can't express how excited I am for the 2018-2019 Key Club Service Year.

Thank you for all your hard work this year, the end of the year approaches, members come and go as seniors graduate and new members begin to volunteer over the summer! It was an honor to serve all of you graduating Seniors this year. Your work in making our communities a better place to be will never be forgotten. With the memories we all made together (Literally as I’m typing this a tear fell from my eye…), please do not hesitate to reach out to me someday in the future!

It has been decided by our new Region adviser, Mrs. Gretchen Steininger, and the District Administration that for the upcoming service year, Division 1 North and 1 South will be put together next year as one division. (Heh... One Division... Division One... I'll stop...)

Excitingly, this means that our Division will literally double in size, meaning that our interclub functions will be larger than ever! Your clubs will have the extraordinary experience of being able to meet and greet high schools such as North Crowley, Everman, Cleburne, Granbury, etc.

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!

Thank you and yours in serving others,

Texas-Oklahoma District of Key Club International Lieutenant Governor, Division 1 Immediate Past Chair, Divisional Projects Committee

THE SERVICE PURPOSE

3) ICON: San Antonio International Convention is the biggest event of the Key Club year! Where over 1,600 Key Clubbers from all across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean travel to share innovative service projects and fundraising ideas, listen to amazing speeches from international famous individuals, and train for your upcoming officer position.

This past summer, I had to opportunity to attend the 2017 International Convention held here in our very own district, in San Antonio. It was such an amazing opportunity to meet Club, District, and International officers from all around the world, discovering Key Club's preferred charities and service organization, and a lot more! I will definitely be going to next year's ICON in Chicago, Illinois without a doubt! With that being said, I will be giving a presentation at two meetings this month about my experience from this year's ICON and information for next year's ICON.

9) Divisional Project: K – Family Konnections

THE SERVICE

13

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.
