Hey PA Key Clubbers! I hope you have all been prepping to get a 5 on all of your AP tests!

These past two weeks I have been busy at work by having plenty of board calls, executive board calls, attending district committee calls, working on my newsletters, updating the district and executive drives, completing LTG monthly evaluations, and working on my distinguished governor folder.

Your 2020-21 Pennsylvania District Board has been working extremely hard to prepare for this upcoming year by working in their respective committees and divisional work.

All of them have been emailing their clubs regularly and creating new ideas for this year’s committees.

One thing I have been emphasizing to the District Board is mental health and self care while in their leadership positions. I know it is a clichĂŠ, but I truly believe you cannot lead in an effective way unless you take care of yourself.

The same idea applies to all club officers. If at any time you are feeling overwhelmed with your position, ask for help!

Nobody is going to look down on you. If you are struggling with your mental health in any way and you need someone to talk to, you are always welcome to reach out to me.

District Governor- Ashley Wheeland

The Thirst Project is a non-profit organization working to end the global water crisis by building freshwater wells in communities around the world.

Water is one of the essential amenities we overlook in our country; however, in other countries, clean and safe drinking water is scarce. Clean drinking water is essential for health and sanitation.

The money donated to The Thirst Project is used to build wells for safe and clean drinking water in communities and will eliminate death and diseases. Why get involved? Waterborne diseases kill more children a year than malaria, HIV, and world violence combined. Without clean drinking water, children across the globe are fighting for their lives because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off waterborne diseases.

Reminders

If you are an officer you must fill out the 20202021 Officer and Club Information Report. It is on https://pakeyclub.org then hover over resources and under Club Officer click Officer Information Report.

Every club has to fill out the Kiwanis Sponsor form. Please only fill this out once per club. It is on https://pakeyclub.org then hover over resources and under Club Officer click Kiwanis Sponsor Form. As of now only 15 clubs have filled this out, this takes less than a minute to do!

Every club should have filled out the Monthly Report Form (MRF), for the month of April, it was due May 5th. The next one is due June 5th. To access this you can go to https://pakeyclub.org then hover over resources and under Club Officer click Club Monthly Report then there will be a link to the form.

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing good during our quarantine. I know times are hard right now, but we got this!

I personally have been occupying myself with cooking, working out, and playing with my animals. I also have been checking all of the forms, the most recent form being the Monthly Report Form (MRF). This form was due May 5th for the reporting month of April. If you did not fill this out the due date has already passed so the next due date is June 5th. I suggested setting a reminder on your phone or anything to remind you to fill it out.

If you have any questions about this form or any other one please ask me or your Lieutenant Governor, we’re here to help. With that being said please keep doing what you can for yourself and others and stay safe!

Lieutenant Governor Spotlight!

Every so often, the executive board will highlight one of the Lieutenant Governors on the District Board. We will choose this person based on their recent work and how well they are doing.

Hannah Santos from division 17 has been doing an outstanding job. She has been sending out multiple emails to all of her clubs and keeping great communication with not only her clubs but also the District Board. She takes initiative on many projects and participates in District Board calls by asking questions and staying present throughout the meetings. Hannah goes to Daniel Boone High School and is currently a sophomore.

Great work Hannah!

Hey PA Key Club!

The Pennsylvania District's clubs continue to impress us with their prosperity in these times. You all have come up with some incredible service project ideas to keep our members involved.

Many clubs across the District, including my home club of Punxsutawney have held meetings over Zoom or a similar platform to hold a meeting. Some clubs are doing this to elect the new officers and using Google Forms to do the voting. This is a great idea! If you do this, remember to fill out the officer information report!

Keep up the incredible work, I am so proud of . each and every one of you!
