DECEMBER NEWSLETTER NYDKC DIVISION ONE
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR LTG! Hi Division 1 Stingrays! My name is Dominic Bossey and I’m your Division 1 Lieutenant Governor. Here’s just a bit about me: I live in Aquebogue, I am a senior at Riverhead High School, I love Disney, and I am obsessed with Grey's Anatomy. 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 every time you do a fundraiser! I hope you are having a great school year and I cannot wait to see the work you guys do! Dominic Bossey, 2018-2019 LTG
STINGRAY REPORT DIVISIONÂ UPDATE
SERVICE SPOTLIGHT At the holiday cheer bus, we first helped out Santa and his head elf get presents on the bus. After that we decorated the inside and outside of the bus which was extremely entertaining and fun. After that we went to different houses and met different families, and sang different Christmas songs to them like Frosty the snowman and Rudolph the red nose reindeer while Santa gave the kids presents. My brother, me and the other key club kids were in charge of the scavenger hunt, which we enjoyed doing and I’m pretty sure we won. There were many unique and ingredient tasks for the scavenger hunt and we had a lot of fun doing it.

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT FROM ACROSS THE STATE Nottingham HS Key Clubbers got together for their annual newspaper sale. Proceeds from the selling the limited edition newspapers went to buying children clothes, toys, and food during the holidays (we raised a little over $175). “The holiday season is the perfect time of year to give back to the community. It feels great to be able to help children have a nice Christmas and spread some Holiday cheer.� -Macy Missigman, Senior Division 22 LtG and Nottingham HS Member
DISTRICT NEWS 1. This year the District’s fundraising goal is $155,000 and our service hour goal is 130,000; our job is to help to contribute to achieving those numbers, so let's do all we can this year!
DISTRICT NEWS 2. Our Governor Erica Swirsky has chosen to support Comfort Cases as the Governor’s Project. This organization puts together small backpacks or duffel bags for youth entering the foster care system. It has impacted over 30,000 children and we can help change more lives!
DISTRICT NEWS 3. Our District Project is One Tree Planted! This nonprofit organization plants a tree for every dollar donated to help combat deforestation across the world. In North America they plant trees in Florida and California; they plant trees in Vietnam, India, Haiti, Brazil, and many many more places across the world too!
DISTRICT NEWS 4. Every year New York District Key Club promises to raise money for certain charities and this time I will be highlighting Kamp Kiwanis. The camp takes on all kids and adults and aims to provide fun physical exercise and adventure. We raise money to help keep it going, so let'd get started! So far we've raised $1,006, but we can raise so much more.

INTERNATIONAL UPDATES
INTRODUCING YOUR NEW I-BOARD Every year at ICON Key Clubbers from around the world elect our international board and this year was no exception. We voted on International President, International Vice President, and 11 International Trustees and let's get excited because one of our own New Yorkers was elected International Trustee: Braeden Dorchester!!
OUR INTERNATIONAL TRUSTEE Alice Geng of the Minnesota-Dakotas District is our International Trustee. Like I do, she will act as a liaison except, instead of being a liaison for clubs, she will be a liaison for districts. Those districts (which are called sistricts or sister districts) are New York, LouisianaMississippi-West Tennessee, and UtahIdaho. Alice is really an amazing person and we are lucky to have her!
