Letter From Your Lt.G Hey everyone! I hope you have all had a great summer break and are ready for school to start (I’m not, but is any senior really?) This past month was a busy month for Key Club International, the International Board was elected (our Immediate Past District Treasurer Foster Hillis was made an International Trustee) and Leslie Turong from the Carolinas District will be our Trustee for this year. We also picked our DCON theme for this year! Unfortunately you have to wait until closer to DCON to find out the theme. Another thig that we decided was this year’s District Project. Keeping T-O Beautiful is aimed toward improving our communities and keeping the environment clean. This includes advocating for recycling of materials that are hazardous to the environment, and to raise awareness over environmental issues. Something that I really want to stress to you guys is sending in monthly reports. Not only does this show that your club is still active, it shows that your club is also in good standing with Key Club International and the TexasOklahoma District.
