From Your Lt. Governor! Hey Division 13! I can’t believe that it’s already been a month since school started! I hope that everything’s going well with your club and your events! So on October 10, Division 13 brought around 15 people to NYC for Fall Rally. It was a great time and really fun! I encourage all of you to go to LTC as well, as it will be great for you all to experience a true Key Club event on the District level! Another thing I want to quickly brief you all on is a change in the Mile of Dimes event. Unfortunately, November 14th is no longer available for my schedule, and we’re going to have to change the date. I’m really sorry about this, and I’ll get the new date to you as soon as possible! In this newsletter, there’ll be a recap of Fall Rally, information on the past divisional, information about the Eliminate Project, and information on Key Club Week! Yours I Ser i e, Lt. Governor Jeongseok Daniel Suh Di isio XIII Ne York Distri t Key Clu danielsuh.ltg@nydkc.org Address: Massa husets Dr. Ne urgh, NY

Future Events Mile of Dimes - The Mile of Dimes event is an event where each club will try to gather as many coins as possible, and then see how many feet of dimes they raised! All proceeds will then be donated to the March of Dimes Charity.
Festival of Lights - This is a very undecided event still, but the basis of the event is that clubs will buy sky lanterns from a website to sell to their club
Leadership Training Conference - This is the major event of the year. It’s where the Lt. Governors will be retired and the Lt. Governor Elects will become the new Lt. Governors. I highly encourage all of you to make time for this event (March 19th) as it’s also a really good way to meet people around the district, and is also lots of fun!

Divisional Recap Division 13 had their second Divisional on the bus coming back from Fall Rally! It was a really fast meeting where I just quickly went over the going-on’s of our division.
We went over: - The Division Mascot Poll
- The Mile of Dimes Project - A possible “Lantern Festival”
Next Divisional
Date is TBD!
Fall Rally was a major October - 6 success! The NYU Global Center for Academic and Spiritual Life held almost 300 students from Key Club divisions 8-13, with division 13 having 15 go! The event started at 10 and the first work shop was for Service: The Thirst Project, Governor's Project, International Projects, Kiwanis District Projects, Planning Pro jects, and Children's Miracle Network (lead by Lt. Gov. Dan iel himself!). Next workshop was officer training from higher offices to the most important part of Key Club; the member! Then we had some delicious pizza and watched our guest speaker The Thirst Project! After that we had a skills workshop where you could learn anything from photography to key club trivia (including the Key Club chant, which my members loved learning!). The last workshop were the fun ones including Swing Dancing, Circle K 101, Improv Acting, Website Making (with Daniel), Knitting, and Cards for St. Jude's. We ended Fall Rally with KFair which is pretty much a giant ice breaker which included Zombie Marco Polo! Overall Fall Rally was pretty much a mini LTC and I was so glad I got to go! Many people who went, including me, can't wait for LTC now!

October - 14 Light the Night this year was an amazing experience and definitely just as memorable as last year’s! When I first joined Key Club last year, Light the Night was one of the first events I attended and definitely one of my favorites. Seeing how well-organized Key Club was along with the friendly members got me really into the club. This year, I was one of those friendly members and it was amazing to know that I am now one of the super cool Key Clubbers I saw last year! Anyways, back to the event itself. Although Hurricane Joaquin was making the event dangerous to attend, many people still showed up which was awesome! We all had an amazing time attending this walk and the harsh weather did not faze us at all. During the walk, I was reunited with a ton of old faces and even got introduced to a few new faces which was very exciting seeing how far our division grew. The walk this year was as exciting as last year’s, except for the part where we did not get to go through the woods due to Hurricane Joaquin. Besides that, Light the Night this year was still amazing considering how we got the chance to meet people who were affected by Leukemia. Knowing the hardships that they went through, be it their family or friends, we should all definitely further strive as Key Clubbers to improve our community. Overall, the event was a great success and we were able to donate $200! On a more sentimental thought, attending Light the Night this year really showed me a lot. It helped me realize how much I grew as both a person and a leader from Key Club. As I walked down the same road I did last year(Not the EXACT road, but you get the idea), I could not help but notice all the opportunities that Key Club has given me along with a seat in the Key Club family. Light the Night reminded me to continue to be grateful for being in such an amazing non-profit organization and also encouraged me to work harder than ever. In conclusion, I guess you can say Light the Night was pretty lit, huh? Sorry! I just had to! Happy Key Clubbing, Beavers!
