Hello Key Clubbers!

Can’t believe my term is almost over. Just came back from being a trainer at Ltg training and I’m happy to say y’all are in good hands. Dianna is amazing and I know she’ll be great as the next division 5 Lieutenant Governor.

With that in mind, please remember to hold elections and give me the new contact information so that we can maintain a stream of communication in years to come!

Also, I’m sooo soo excited to see y’all at DCON and see the successes of division 5. It will be awesome to see y’all be recognized for your efforts at the Awards Banquet.

Thank you to all who worked hard to turn in dues and participate in Eliminate. We did great!

I look forward to our end of year PCM where we will bond as a division and celebrate the first annual KCC awards! Remember, I am always here for y’all.

Much love,

Hope Carter

Fact: I love my big ol’ family! Both my Key Club family and biological family.
