LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR LETTER

Hello 26! I hope that you’ve all been having a wonderful and service-filled summer. With a new school year coming up, I’m planning on working with each club as much as possible to help strengthen our division- in membership growth, divisional bonding and K-family relations. So let’s make this a great year! Thank you to everyone who was able to attend Seattle Rally last month and show off our divisional pride- you guys were rad! Together, the Seattle area and guest divisions were able to save the lives of over 300 mothers and their future children! In Love and Service, Christina Nguyen Lt.G of Division 26 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

Hello Key Clubbers! I am writing to introduce myself, and wish you well in your new Key Club year. I will soon be starting a year as Kiwanis Lt.

My big goals are to strengthen all clubs in Division 26 through growth in membership, service, and community involvement, and activities with sponsored Key Clubs are really important to those goals. I will be meeting with Christina regularly, and working with her to make sure that our Division 26 Kiwanis Clubs are all working together with their Key Clubs. This includes sponsorship, leadership guidance, and working together on fundraising and service projects. Thank You all for being involved with Service through Key Club! So now I have a question: Key Clubbers, How Do You Feel? Warm Regards, -Joel Ware.
