A LETTER FROM YOUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Hello there 1 South, I’m Nithure Rema and I’ll be your 2016-17 Lieutenant Governor. I am very excited to be serving such an amazing division and I hope to make our division even stronger in the next year! A little bit about me, my name is pronounced Na-tur-ee. Some call me by name, others call me Nature or Mother Nature. I’m currently a junior at Burleson High School. I play tennis, binge watch everything on Netflix, like to sleep, my favorite song is Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley and I’m going to be the producer of my school’s TV show, Elk TV, next year- you should check it out it’s kinda awesome! I have been in Key Club since I was a freshman. Ever since I walked into my first meeting, I’ve been in love with service. Key Club has taught me so many different, amazing things and will continue to teach and inspire me in the coming year. I can’t wait to meet each of you and work alongside you and your clubs in the future! Yours in service,
Nithure Rema

Wen Liu and Tiffany Hang were both endorsed for International. Congratulations to all the new staff members and to the endorsees!
