NYDKC DIVISION ONE
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR LTG! Hi Division 1 Stingrays! My name is Dominic Bossey and I’m your new Division 1 Lieutenant Governor. Here’s just a bit about me: I live in Aquebogue, I am a rising senior at Riverhead High School, I love Disney, and I am obsessed with succulents. I have so many ideas for this service year and I cannot wait to meet you all. Just a few reminders: MRFs are due the second of every month and FRFs are due everytime you do a fundraiser! Fall Rally dates will be announced soon, so keep your ears open for the date and time. I hope you are having a great summer and I cannot wait to see the work you guys do!

YOUR INTERNAL EXECUTIVE ASSITANT Hi Division 1, my name is Brynn O’Connor and I am the Lieutenant Governor’s internal executive assistant. Both Dominic and I are seniors at Riverhead High School and love being a part of Key Club. I love to watch Big Bang Theory and the Crown. I’m very dedicated when it comes to my work, and I'm excited to work hard with Dominic to make the upcoming year in Division 1 a great one! I know he has planned big things for the clubs of the division and I am ready to be part of a team that makes these plans run smoothly. I can't wait to see the Division’s future progress and success!
Brynn O'Connor, Riverhead HS Internal Executive Assistant
YOUR EXTERNAL EXECUTIVE ASSITANT My name is Matthew Girard and I am a sophomore at Westhampton Beach High School. I am the Webmaster for my Key Club for the 2018-19 year. Although I haven't been in Key Club for a long time, my experience with it has been positive and inspiring. At LTC this year, I discovered that Key Club has many different far reaching service projects that help people all across the world. What I like about Key Club is that it is bigger than just me, it’s a thousands of kids working to make the world a better place. At LTC, I learned about so many amazing service projects, and the other members and I have committed to the Thirst Project and Yuda Bands project. I look forward to getting Matt Girad, Westhampton Beach more involved in Key Club and the K family in the years to HS, Club Webmaster/External EA come.
YOUR DIVISION SECRETARY Hi Stingrays! I'm the secretary of the New York Key Club Division 1, Tori Cummins. I'm a senior at Westhampton Beach High School and am an avid member of key club. I've held an officer position since my sophomore year. As a sophomore I was Vice President, in this past school year as a junior I was CoPresident, and I have been recently elected as the President. I have a passion for Key Club, and I even attended Kamp Kiwanis in middle school. I continue to try and encourage new students to join as well as create new and exciting activities for the Key Club community. I am super eager to work this year as secretary of Division 1 with Dominic and the rest of the board!
