MONTHLY MESSAGE FROM YOUR LTG
Hello Superstars! Seeing everyone do so much awesome service has helped me get through such a busy and stressful month of school. Y’all are a light in my life. Before, I get all emotional I just want to thank everyone as well for the huge strides we’ve made with reporting in our division! We now have 5 clubs that will be actively reporting and more on the way. Usman will be happy! Also, please participate in my divisional project (more info inside). I am super excited for all the great things we’re going to do with it. Just a reminder to stay in communication and I’ll see You at the regional social/ PCM! Yours in service,
Hope Carter
Fact: I LOVE San Antonio! Mostly because of the food and culture
Conferences for Nov. Here is the agenda for conferences this month. Each president should email me a date and time that is good for a conference by the 20th of each month. If you have not emailed me by that date I will start calling. I want to have a conference with each president by the 31st of each month. I promise calls won’t last long and I just want to do this so that there is a stream of communication with all of my clubs. These contribute to Key Clubbin’ Correspondence awards (KCC Awards) so please participate.
