LETTER FROM THE LTG What’s up, Division 56? I hope you all had fun at the Fall DCM! It was an incredible experience and was a moment of history for Division 56; we’ve never had a DCM before, and this was an amazing kickoff. However, that wasn’t the only event we have this fall! I hope you take everything you learned and the excitement you gained back to your club to bring it to the next level in service! We made history at our DCM, but it’s just getting started now. Let’s bring the energy and enthusiasm we gained to impact the community. Together. I can’t wait for Eastside!! See you!

FALL DCM
RECAP-PUCINO Our fall DCM was a HUGE success. This was the first time in history Division 56 came together to participate in a Divisional Council Meeting, and it was so much fun, and I think we learned a lot as well. We had a turnout of 30, which is fantastic, and had a presentation from District Governor Juliet Yu, in addition to bowling. This DCM built connections between Key Clubbers of different schools, and effectively got people out of their comfort zones. I’m so excited to see what we can do in the future; let’s keep the momentum going! Make sure to take the energy you gained back to your community, and use it to make an impact! I hope to see you October 1 for Eastside Rally, and stay on the lookout for more information on upcoming DCMs!

YEARLY PLAN DIVISION 56I am working on a strategic plan to implement in our Division. Details are still being worked out, but this plan will hopefully sketch out the outline for our path towards growth and unity as a Division. The plan will mostly be used by the next Lieutenant Governor in running the Division, but will also be released so you guys know what’s going on! Thus, this plan will be a guideline for our Division’s optimal growth.

THE PLAN TRIPLE-C COMMUNICATION
CONNECTIONS
COLLABORATION
Triple-C is a three part plan I have formulated to ensure the growth and success of our Division. The plan splits the year up into three stages, each with varying time frames. These stages will build on each other to form a solid framework for the future of Division 56 by the end of the year. The first part of the plan is Communication, which is the stage we are in now. In this part of the year, my focus will be on creating modern, efficient ways of communication for our Division, and initiating it. This will lay the groundwork for much of what we will accomplish this year. The second stage will be Connections, in which my main focus will be making sure clubs are talking to each other, exchanging ideas, and in general, getting to know each other. This will give us unity as a Division and help us become more than a Division: a family. In this stage, club visits especially will be a very helpful way of creating connections, which will add a face-to-face component to the communications amongst our clubs. The final stage, which will transition us into becoming a strong, active division, is Collaboration. In this stage, through the solid groundwork we have laid through steady communication and strong connections, we will be able to plan events together, and do joint fundraisers. This stage is where I hope to organize the first ever Division 56 DCM. From here, we can have multiple clubs send members to DCON, which will induce excitement, which will lead to greater participation. This leads to a self-feeding process, which will help Division 56 grow in future years. Through this plan, I aim to make big leaps toward making Division 56 strong and independent. In doing this, the groundwork will also be laid for future LTGs to lead our Division and take it to even greater heights.
