JANUARY 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! LTC is coming up, be sure to register! 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 The Video Game Tournament is an annual event set up at the Hampton Bays Library and the Southampton Youth Bureau alongside Southampton Key Club (who helps set up the event) as a whole. It begins with the Youth Bureau and our Key Club lending the Library consoles and controllers, then we go out with the Youth Bureau and get little donations for Bracket Prizes. It’s a bracketing system, and the winners of every game (COD BO4, NBA 2K19, Mario Kart, Smash Ultimate) get a $10 gift card to GameStop and after they win their bracket or game they get to enter to win a grand prize for all the individual game winners. The prize this year was a Nintendo Switch. We help partake in this tournament, we set up a week before with all the consoles that we’ve collected and then help out during the tournament with Brackets and Monitors. We also advertise the event with flyers and spreading the news.

It was exciting and I look forward to LTC this year. -Bhupati Ramkhelawan Southampton Treasurer
SERVICE SPOTLIGHT FROM ACROSS THE STATE The Great Neck South Key Club attended the Women's March in New York City on January 19th. Our club is super passionate about this cause because our board is all female, and we are very proud of the work we have done. This was an amazing event and we had so much fun meeting people from across the county who shared our passion Hannah Kareff, Division 4N LtG, Great Neck South High School
