letter From Your ltg! Hello Division 25W! It’s a bit surprising to think that it’s almost the end of June. So far, my summer consisted of volunteering, playing Diplomacy, watching movies (side note: Incredibles 2 was awesome!) and ice cream after ice cream. This issue of the newsletter is mainly focused on Key Club education about our preferred charities and vision partners. This year, we have two new collaborative partners: Project Happiness and K Corps. Start thinking about ways to support our preferred charities once the school year hits. We are 7 days away from International Convention and 22 days from Summer Board meeting. While I will not be attending ICON, I’m counting down the days till I will meet with fellow board members to discuss how we can improve our division and district as a whole. Please remember to submit monthly reports in the summer. Even if there is not a lot going on in your club, sending reports is a good habit to foster. I will be sending out an email in a few days about what you club can do in the summer to get a headstart once the school reopens. Until then, keep enjoying the simple pleasures of summer! Yours in Caring and Service, Kathryn Aung :)
