GREETINGS FROM YOUR LT. GOVERN
Hello Division 66! I hope you had a great January and your New Year’s resolutions are being achieved (if you have any). We have yet another tremendously productive month, with many service projects. Our focus will shift gears to wrapping up another amazing Key Club year as the Pacific Northwest District Convention grows nearer. Please plan to attend your club events and the upcoming DCMs! For clubs, elections are coming up. I wish each of you the best of luck and thank you for your strong dedication to serving your community. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish this month! Yours in Caring Service, Bailey Chen 2015-2016 Lieutenant Governor of Division 66

JANUAR
On January 16th, many Key Clubbers attended the January DCM to create posters for DCON. We created many super cute posters that I can’t wait to show off at convention! We also had an officer check in to ensure clubs know the DCON process and see what each club is up to. Thank you for filling the room with laughter and creativity, can’t wait to see you at this month’s DCM!

ADELLA KEOBOUBBAM & KSANET RUSTOM // REYNOLDS KEY CLUB
Ksanet has been part of Key Club for a couple of years now and this is Adella's first year in Key Club. Nonetheless, both of these members have been extremely dedicated to helping the club out to their full potential without even hesitating to say "yes" when requested for their assistance.
