Why do Justin and Mary love Halloween? BECAUSE OF ALL THE SPIRITS!

HAPPY OCTOBER GREEN MONKEYS! My name is Kai Noah Jugo and I proudly serve as your Lieutenant Governor. From the long await Region Training Conference, Fall Rally South, Spirit Sessions, and more, this whole Key Club season can get hectic, but the memories and joy from looking back is what makes it all pay off.

I am so so SO thrilled and happy to see the amount of new faces that I saw at our annual Night Market September DCM. Over 200 members from our 13 clubs got to learn about new business, by so many delicious treats, and saw what Key Club is really about. This was such a great heap for our division and I can’t wait to make more with you all.

I hope everyone has had a SPECTACULAR month and getting ready for … TO THE R TO THE T TO THE C … it’s RTC SEASON!!! And what comes with that is spirit session whaaaaaaa :0 Make sure you are well prepared to enter Warren High School with TWO main cheers memorized and ready to win THAT SPIRIT STICK ! It’s not all about winning however, our main goal for Region Training Conference is to get YOU educated on various new topics pertaining and not pertaining to key club. Need help on organizing your time? NO PROBLEM! What about learning about the Member Recognition Program? DUH! The whole region team is on it and wants to provide everyone with the necessary resources to become future leaders! So please utilize this time and do so.

Other than that I hope school hasn’t been TOO stressful for you all. PSAT and SAT takers please take it easy, you all did such a good job and I could never be more proud of you all for taking it (standardized testing literally scares me).

That’s all 13 NORTH! I hope to see y’all spirited :D
