from ltg & elect Tafoya! If you register now, admission is only $10 and tickets will be sold at the door for $13. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Hope to see you soon!
From Lt.G Gerard! We officially have about 2 months left in the term... that means DCON is approaching faster and fast by the minute! On a side note, we recently had conclave and I’m proud to announce that your next Lieutenant Governor from the 2019-2020 term is... Krezzia Basilio from Gahr Key Club! I’m so excited for all of you non-senior Key Club members to see what she has in store for all of you in the upcoming term. The spotlight on service theme for the month of March is “March of Dimes”. I really encourage all of you to gather all your change and donate to this amazing organization! Your club can maybe do a “dime war” amongst your grade levels to fundraise for this charity. The organization fights for a great cause: the health of both mothers and babies. Although Fall Rally is over, you can still donate to the Pediatric Trauma Program as well! We are still 1,800 service hours away from our goals of 6,000 service hours by the end of the term. I really do believe that we can accomplish this even with only the 2 months we have left. Great ways to get more hours is to do service projects during your club meetings and also to get in touch with local organizations to help out at their own service events using helpful resources like Volunteermatch! An exciting event we have coming up is our very first Region 8 Formal! The theme is... UP! It will be at South Gate Park Auditorium from 8pm-11pm on Saturday, February 23. There will be appetizers, a photobooth, and the DJ will be District Video Media Editor Leo
Word from Lt.G Elect!

I could not have gotten to this point without the help of every single person who has helped foster my passion and drive towards such a distinguished organization, so I truly thank each and every one of you. I have so many ideas that I want to implement into the next term and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future of Division 13 South! As I said in my speech, “The term is ending, and that makes me blue. But that means new beginnings. 13 South Thank you!”

dlt's notes krezzia basilio // executive assistant
HI-YA Division 13 South! Congratulations for getting through finals and almost the entire term! I hope everything went well and you are finally being able to relax; but if it didn’t, just know that things do get better! As the term approaches the end, that means new positions are available! I HIGHLY recommend that YOU take this opportunity to BEE confident and go for that position you’ve had your eye on, or to think about running for a position that you would have not pictured yourself doing. All in all you have got NOTHING to lose and all the opportunities that you would be able to have is truly undefinable. Although even if you don’t end up getting that position that you want, there is so much more that Key Club has to offer in the near future. You just have to put yourself out there and reach your potential!
mia sam // executive assistant Hiya ninjas! Conclave has passed (CONGRATS Miss Lt.G Elect 2019-2020, Krezzia Basilio <3), meaning our next term is coming quickly! Club boards, please make sure you are holding your officer elections soon. The sooner you have elected officers, the more time you have to mentor the new board! Try your best to hold your final fundraisers and events, as we are still working towards division and district goals. We've all done an AMAZING job this term, I'm proud of you all! Let's end our term strong, so we help the next officers continue on even stronger.
vittina ibanez // executive assistant Hey ninjas! How is everybody doing? I hope you all are doing really well in school and life in general. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the one and only, Krezzia Basilio, for being elected our division’s next lieutenant governor for the 2019-2020 term. I can’t wait to see what you bring to our division! As for this present term, let’s finish it off strong! I hope to see all of you at upcoming DCMs, fundraisers, and events. Keep doing good and serving your communities!
