Hi! My name is Amsu Yallalacheruvu and I am the District Governor of Pennsylvania. I am a senior at North Allegheny Senior High School! Key Club occupies most of my life including my hobbies but outside of this club, I participate in DECA and Student Council. As the Pennsylvania Key Club District Governor, my job is to oversee the district and work with my Executive Board Members and Lieutenant Governors to grow our district and help it reach its highest potential. I attend meetings with the District Administrator and try to attend as many committee meetings as I can to make sure that I am a part of all communications happening on the board. My term so far has been extremely fulfilling and I cannot wait to put on an incredible convention and see the district come together.
Hi everyone! My name is Joshua Kim, and I am the Pennsylvania District Secretary Treasurer. I hope that everybody’s school year has been going well and that your Key Clubs are actively making our communities better one step everyday! As we are nearing th end of 2022, one of my main tasks committees: Fall Rally and Recognition (the latter focuses on our awards and contests at District Convention). We had a great Fall Rally on October 15, where we were able to see multiple clubs come together to enjoy a time of learning and growing as Key Clubbers — seeing the impact we have as a District though we may be located far and wide in Pennsylvania; we even had a speaker from Caitlin’s Smiles (our Youth Serving Youth partner) share her organization's mission. Throughout this month of December, I want to send out a survey of what you all would like to see from our District Board, whether it is suggestions on future events or how we can better serve you. Let’s end this year with joyful hearts of service!
Hello everyone! I hope you are having an amazing year so far! As editor, I have been working hard to update the website and promote District Convention. One of my favorite things I've done is the Technology Committee and I created nine articles for Key clubbers. Some of these included time management, fundraising, and parliamentary procedure tips. I have also been updating the photos on the website, as well as the list of clubs that are active and where they are on the map. I also have been attending meetings with my executive board, technology committee, and theme and design committee, and doing the best I can to put all of my ideas and effort into my committees. I’d like you all to know that life can be a time consuming and stressful, but you have so many wonderful people around you that are in the same boat as you and will be happy to assist you. Also, please be sure to be taking care of yourself and giving yourself breaks when you need them. If you need advice or help with anything feel free to reach out to me!
