6 1 0 2 5 1 0 2 G T L MEET JADE Hey Jaguars! For those who I have not yet met, My name is Nicolette Cruz. I'm humbled and honored to be YOUR Jade Division Lieutenant Governor-elect for the 2015-2016 term. As the 14-15 term gradually went by, I was able to strengthen my confidence and passion for KIWIN'S. This lead me to the decision of running for a position I would not have pictured myself in when I first joined two years ago. Thank you to everyone who has become part of the memories and growth I've achieved so far in this organization. All the people I've met and things I've experienced, bad and good, are what make me who I am today. THANKS TO YOU. Yes YOU reading this right now! As much as I loved being Hercules High's KIWIN'S president, I am ready to try and reach my 15-16 goals for Jade Division. I know that with you guys, my jaguar loves, anything is possible. WE will bring Jade to great heights. TOGETHER, we will make Jade better than ever. If you see me, don't hesitate to say hi or have a conversation because I would like everyone to sail along with me next term because I could not do this without you guys! Your Mama Jaguar-elect, Nicolette Cruz Jade Division Newsletter

Jaguar of the Month Nomination: Malie because she always brings a loud voice to the table. Malie because she is always there when someone needs her, for instance Conclave. Malie because she deserves to be recognized for the nonstop support for JADE when it comes to KIWINS. Although she is not able to attend DCON, her unselfish self still manages to help fundraise for her club to attend DCON on behalf of her efforts with KIWINS. Malie is over a social BLOB that gets along with everyone amongst the whole division. She is the one member that you can rely on with no hesitation. P.S. Malie will snatch -Shawndy Saephan
