Meet the LTG
Contact me! nidhiraokc@gmail.com (713)380-5821 Remind: a3gb29
Hello all! My name is Nidhi Rao, and I am your newly-elected LTG for Division 10. I enjoy playing the flute, piano, and piccolo, as well as reading and volunteering. Two of the most predominant goals I would like to achieve are Communication and Collaboration. With this, I hope to expand our communication through every school in Division 10. Additionally, I strive to provide collaborative meetings and service projects where different schools in our division can collaborate on an array of volunteering and service opportunities together. I also hope to experience more interactive work with our division, such as inviting guest speakers and group service projects with different organizations. I cannot wait to work with each and every one of you during the 20222023 school year!
Warmest regards, Nidhi Rao

Since the 1940s, Key Clubs have worked with March of Dimes to make a positive impact on the lives of babies everywhere. Today, Kiwanis members continue that culture of service by supporting the March of Dimes all year long by hosting service projects, raising funds, and educating communities about the crisis of preterm birth. Members work together by sponsoring fundraising events and conducting service projects at their local children's hospitals. Contact your local CMN hospital and invite a representative to a club meeting to share ideas and create a partnership. Thirst Projects hopes to educate the next generation by arming students with information about how they can be a part of social change, make a difference, and encourage others to join in the effort.
