Words from the LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Hello Division 66, I hope you all had a nice thanksgiving break off from school! Just think, in a few more weeks and it’ll be time for Winter Break. With the Holiday Season just around the corner, I encourage you all to go out and have fun while impacting your community and making someone else’s holiday season the greatest too. As January approaches it means election time is near. Take this time to pay attention to the next generation and encourage them, foster them, and be their biggest support in running for future officer. I hope some of these great leaders take up the opportunity to run for Division 66 LtG. I just wanted to take this time to tell you how thankful I am for all of you. You leaders have such great dedication and motivation in helping other and making this Division even stronger. Your acts of kindness are so inspirational. LO-V-E I love my D-I-V! If you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to ask. Happy Holidays Division 66! In love and service, Emilee Huey

Words from the DIVISIONAL EDITOR Hello Division 66, The Holiday Season is finally here. Not only is it the time of year in which we give thank for all that we have, it is also the season of giving. I know that this is a great time of year when we all host service projects to help out those less fortunate than us. If you have a project coming up, be sure to contact Emilee or me because I know that we would love to help out if possible. I can’t wait to hear all the projects. I hope to see many of you at the December Dcm, as Emilee is planning to do a service project. It’s sure to be lots of fun, so you won’t want to miss out. Until next time, have a fantastic holiday season! In caring service,

Brian Le

Looking for the

2014-2015 Division LtG 1. Why should you run Lieutenant Governor (LTG)? You should run for LTG because it's a great opportunity to lead the division and become more involved in key club. You have the opportunity to lead others while learning how to become a better leader yourself. Through service and dedication, you will have the opportunity to work on the Pacific Northwest District board, who will become like second family to you. Your term as LTG will truly be the most memorable experience of your high school career. 2. What kind of commitment is being LTG? As an LTG, you need to be willing to give up your free time in order to efficiently lead your division. You will need to be committed to lead not only your clubs but also the rest of the district. As a district board member, key club will become a priority. Staying up late to finish newsletters and getting up early to do club visits will become part of your routine. The dedication and commitment is vital, but always pays off in the end. 3. What kind of qualities you should have? A successful LTG will need to have strong communication skills, leadership skills, a passion for service, dedication and involvement, time management skills, responsibility, hard working, open minded, and optimistic. 4. What kind of job is being LTG? As an LTG, You serve on the district board along with other LTGs. You will be leading several clubs in your division throughout the year. You will be serving on two committees on the district board along with attending five district board meetings. You will be planning club visits, submitting monthly reports, and monthly newsletters to keep your division updated. Is your responsibility to communicate with each club in your division along with holding divisional council meetings. You will also be helping plan district convention 2015 and your summer area rally. If you are interested in running for LtG, please contact Emilee.
