My first newsletter started with a photo of LTG Ashna and myself, so what better way to start the last newsletter!
Lieutenant Governor Report Hi Division 15, Well here we are at my final report to you all. As I was putting this newsletter together I realized how incredibly fortunate I was to have you all support our division throughout the service year. Last year during my training at Mid-Winter I wrote a letter to myself. I had decided to go above and beyond and set some pretty high goals for our division, including winning the spirit stick at Fall Rally, having tons of divisional projects, getting the division to bond more, and having a fundraiser for students to go to DCON. Though the exact letter never got back to me, I know we have gone above and beyond what I set out to do. We took 5 busses to Fall Rally, had a total of 6 divisional projects, and held a great tshirt sale that brought you all some treasury funds. After DCON I will be a has-been, and my demotion will mark the last day of the most incredible year I could have ever hoped to have. Thank you all for allowing me to be your lieutenant governor. I’ll miss it, and I’ll miss you all. Sincerely, Melika Behrooz
2012-2013 SERVICE YEAR IN REVIEW
Divisional Projects 2012-2013
The Thermometer
$1500+
Divisional Project Fundraising Goal 2012-2013 Service Year GOAL REACHED !
$730
$0
Congrats Division 15! We have reached our $1500 divisional project goal for the service. And this isn’t even counting all of the money your clubs collected for trick or treat for UNICEF, which counting McNair alone, would take our total to over $2500. I hope you are all proud of this total, and realize how much of an impact this money will make in the lives of those in danger of contracting MNT. .
DIVISIONAL DINNER 2013 To round off the service year, the division revisited Boca Grande Restaurant for a night of food, fun, and games. After dinner we all crowded around the arcade games and the pool table. I’ll let you guess how well that went.
We celebrated out tributes recent third place standing in the Eliminate Games, and also celebrated an officers birthday. Everyone went home with what might be the best set of certificates from Key Club they will ever receive.
