LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR LETTER

Hello, Key Clubbers! First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for making District Convention 2015 such a blast! Seeing everyone having the time of their lives and celebrating another year of Key Club was such an amazing experience. I hope that you all had a memorable time-whether it may be your first or last convention, and that it either taught or reminded you what Key Club is really all about: Service! Also, congratulations to all the new officers! I look forward to working with you and your clubs over the next year. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make this a good one! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to give a thank you to immediate past lieutenant governor, Kevin Ngo, for being such a great mother to our division and for believing in my abilities to take care of the 26 family. I hope I make you proud. In love and service, Christina Nguyen Lieutenant Governor of Division 26 Pacific Northwest Key Club International
