LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR LETTER

Hey 26!

As we’re getting further into the school year, I hope that you all are doing well and that you’re all having a strong start to a new Key Club year!

I also wanted to thank everyone who came out to the September DCM last month, and hope that you had fun meeting other members from the division as well as participating in the special activities! Officers, I hope that your training helped you prepare for the months to come!

The next couple months will surely be busy with Trick or Treat for UNICEF and dues season, among other things.

Please make sure to mark your calendars for the DCM hosted by Cleveland High School this month at the Jefferson community center. It’ll be on Saturday, October 24h, from 1-3pm. We’ll be having a Halloween-themed event, so make sure to bring those costumes!

In this newsletter is an explanation for a PNW District Scavenger Hunt. Make sure to check that page out to see how you can possibly win Eliminate merch!

In Love and Service, Christina Nguyen Lieutenant Governor or Division 26 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

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!
