Happy January, unicorns!

As the new year is unraveling, I hope you’ve all had the same motto: New Year, same love for Key Club!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Camp Schoenwald for the December divisional council meeting- it was great to see everyone in the holiday spirit!

In the next couple months, there will be a lot of exciting things happening! With that being said, make sure to keep an open eye out for events like the January Divisional Council Meeting, Dance to Eliminate, and more!

Warm Regards,

M E T

So now I have a question: Key Clubbers, How Do You Feel?

Y O U

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. Governor in Division 26, just as Christina Nguyen is your Key Club Lt. Governor in Division 26. 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!

Greetings, It's that time of the the year again; it's that time when the temperature begins to become cooler, days become shorter and nights become longer, and everybody is filled with holiday spirit. Like I said before, these next few months are my favorite months of the year. There is just so many fun and joyful things packed into just a short period of two or three months.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take the time to give my thanks to all of you. I am thankful for all that you do for Key Club International.

You are all truly the servant leaders that Key Club International prides itself to have. Keep up the good work, and I cannot wait to see you all later this year.

Yours in caring and service, Devin Sun Key Club International Trustee
