D5 Lt. Governor Message
01
Hey, Honey Bunches of Oats! How is everyone doing? I bet you guys are going on amazing adventures while on vacation, reuniting with family and friends or just having your thing during the Summer. I have some quick news for you guys for the month of June. Just last month we had our first training at MacAuthur Park. It was exciting to see some of you guys as well as to finally to meet me. I know that in the future we will see each other more often maybe establish a friendship.
During our first training, I went over a few objectives and tasks that club officers should do during the summer to maintain club ordinance. 1. The club officers should meet during the summer to plan out the year 2. How important it is to do reportings and Newsletters so that your school ( or Division) can get the recognition it needs 3. To get acquainted with your Kiwanis and other K-Family It's very vital to do these things because they not only does it help the club as a whole but it will open you up to new horizons and the undying support the clubs have with others like Kiwanis and even the community.
D5 Lt. Governor Message For the month of July, I really want to have at least on social and another PCM so that I can meet you guys and hang out.So I think we should go bowling. Also, I wanted to make sure that I have everyone's information so that it's key to filling out the COCI's and MUC's correctly. Lastly, I hope everyone continues to have a wonderful summer and don't ever hesitate to email, text, or call me. Look out for my reminds messages and Bi-monthly emails Thanks, guys.
Love yah D5! Sincerely, Division 5 Lt. Governor Jada Hudgins
