letter From Your ltg! Heyyy Division 25W!! Last Thursday, we had our regional training conference! Thank you so much to everyone who attended. I hope it was an educational experience for you and that you are prepared to carry out your duties. A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO MADAME DOSS AND TSAS FOR GRACIOUSLY HOSTING THE RTC!!! I will also be sending out the RTC materials soon so be sure to check your email! Key Club Week is coming up next week! It will be from November 5th to the 9th. Be sure to check out pages 6 and 7 to see what each day is devoted to. Right after Key Club Week is Key to End Alzheimer’s Week for the Governor’s Project. There are information and ideas on how to participate in pages 8 and 9 so please go take a look. You are not limited to implement only the ones that are given. These are just suggestions so your club has flexibility to do what fits you! Now that Secretaries are trained to do monthly reports, be sure to turn in reports on November 5th and every upcoming months as well. At the very least, please turn in a blank report with some general information. Lastly, if anyone is interested in being a Lt.G please let me know :) This will be my last year as a Lt.G (yayyy seniors) so I need a replacement for next year. I can give you more information and answer any questions you may have. Yours in Caring and Service, Kathryn Aung Volume 2 | Issue 6 | Region 3 | Division 25W | Texas-Oklahoma District

Key Club Week Key Club Week gives you the opportunity to show your community what Key Club is truly about: service. Each day places an emphasis on service, to promote Key Club within our homes, schools and communities and to make Key Club a household name.
Monday Show your K! Show people what Key Club is all about! Spread the word by wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key Club Week in local stores, your school Web site, community newspapers—even on the radio.
Tuesday Kudos to the key players! Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teachers, advisors and other Key players. Write thank-you notes, host an appreciation dinner or do something uniquely your own style to recognize the contributions of these special people.

Wednesday Dare to Care! Key Club has three preferred charities—UNICEF, March of Dimes and Children’s Miracle Network. Take time to focus on service projects that help support these causes such as making non-slip socks or capes for your local CMN hospital.
Thursday Random acts of Kindness! A smile goes a long way. Spread happiness throughout your school by doing little random acts of kindness such as leaving cards with inspirational messages on every student's locker or just simply holding the door for someone else. Challenge every member to complete at least one random act of kindness.
Friday Connect the Ks! Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and is a member of the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or Aktion clubs and team up for a joint service project.
