LTG MESSAGE
Thank you so much to everyone who attended my DCM! Hey everyone! One of my goals for July and throughout the summer is to get more DCM and service participation. As a result, I decided to now implement club points! With club points, clubs will be more recognized for their hard work. I know a lot of you have been a crucial part of Key Club, so I encourage you to keep up the good work! Yours in Friendship & Service,

Governor's Project
Empowering the People
This project is geared toward creating a supportive and encouraging environment in our homes, schools, and communities through various service activities. By uplifting our peers and even the many strangers we see around us daily, we can increase morale and mental health. These past few years have hit many of our communities hard, but it's our time to rise up, level up, and fight back.
So How Can You Help? Create and hang encouraging posters Raise donations for local health care workers/teachers/first responders Write letters to local elderly homes Create baskets for patients in the hospital. Host public speaking/confidence forums for middle school and elementary students Create bookmarks with encouraging quotes to leave at library! 17
Looking for another way to get involved? Work with Erika's Lighthouse, a proud partner with Key Club International! They are focused on improving mental health, especially in teens.
Have any Questions? Email the Governor (Contacts can be found on Page 20)
