MEET YOUR NEW LTG Hi guys!
I’m Dylan Dam and will be serving as the new Division 2S and 32 LtG. Some things about me: I am an upcoming Junior in the IB program and a past secretary for my school’s Key Club. Some fun things I like to do in my free time are play piano, tennis, and video games. I'm a part of my school's HOSA club. I also love watching anime and traveling to new places! Anyways, I was appointed as Division 2S and 32 LtG earlier this year, and I am still new to all of this, but I promise to help each and everyone one of you to the best of my abilities for the rest of the 20202021 school year. Dylan Dam

LEDCON RECAP My experience at LEDCON was a blast. I got to see many faces. There were activities for people online, we had forums for anyone to attend to, we even had awards such as top schools. I really recommend that everyone who reads this tries to attend LEDCON next year. It will be a blast!

FOR THE SUMMER Key Club doesn't die during the summer! If your club stays active during the summer, it is almost guaranteed that your club will be within the top 5 at the end of the year! With COVID-19 dissipating right now, it will be a lot easier to find volunteer events for your club! Another big thing - the YOF grant. The YOF grant is a grant given to an individual Key Club from the Kiwanis Clubs. The YOF can be very beneficial for your community and yourself included! Please consider applying for this grant! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me!
