What Are YOU Thankful For?
LtG’s Message.............1
As the end of November approaches, I know that many of you are getting ready to shop for presents, decorate your houses, and bring out the festive attire. However, I hope that as we swiftly move into the winter holiday, we don’t leave Thanksgiving in the dust. This is the time of year where it is most important for us to remember what we are thankful for. We should also take time to remember those who are not as fortunate as we are. This season serves to remind each and every one of us why we serve our communities. While we all bask in the glow of our holiday fun, there will be others who may not be able to feel the joy we feel when we open a new present, or when we consume our holiday feast. So, do your part. Donate gifts; volunteer at a soup kitchen, do whatever you’d like to brighten up somebody’s holiday. The satisfaction you get will be much greater than any present can give you.

Lieutenant Governor Elections
Wait, doesn’t the service year run from April to April? Is it already time to start thinking about elections?
SERVICE Yes. Yes it is.
If you are an underclassman, with an unquenchable thirst for service, then perhaps you might like to consider running for Lieutenant Governor. I’ll be the first to tell you that it is a lot of work, but it is honestly the most rewarding thing you may ever have the chance to do. You will make new friendships, strengthen your leadership skills, and have the time of your life. Most importantly, you will be making a huge difference in the lives of others. Lieutenant Governors get together with the rest of the District Board, and are responsible for setting our fundraising goals, planning district events like Regional Training Conferences, Fall Rally, and District Convention, and much more. Of course, there is so much involved with being a Lieutenant Governor, too much for me to put in one article of course. However, if you are interested in running for the position of Lieutenant Governor, don’t hesitate to contact me. It will be easiest to reach me at aim.meissner@gmail.com.
LEADERSHIP
Lieutenant Governor elections will be held Wednesday, January 19th, 2011. The snow date will be Thursday, January 27th, 2011. The location will be announced soon. I hope to see you there!
