Greetings Happy August Stars!

I hope you are all enjoying the last month of summer! Summer is almost over by the time I release my next newsletter. This can be a bummer, but there are so many great things ahead of us!

You’ll be able to attend your regular club meetings and see how your clubs have grown. Also, there are many fun events you can look forward to: Officer training, Division Council Meetings, DTE (Dance to Eliminate), and much more!

Since school is starting soon, I hope all of you can balance Key Club with school and for those of you who are incoming seniors with college applications and SAT/ACT testing. I will also work very hard to balance everything out.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who attended Tacoma Rally! Come out to the DCM, I’d love to meet you all! August DCM will be a Divisional Bonding DCM. Look out on the face book group page for future events and divisional/district news.

Thank you and continue to enjoy your last month summer, Division 38!

In love and service, Sharon Lee Division 38 Lieutenant Governor

Greetings from your International President Greetings, Key Club members!

Just a few weeks ago, our organization convened in Indianapolis for our annual International Convention alongside Circle K and Kiwanis International as we celebrated Kiwanis’ centennial birthday. It was an unforgettable experience for all, and that week, I was fortunate enough to be elected President of Key Club International.

As International President, my job is to lead our organization for the next year; to set the vision of what Key Club is, should be, and will be; to supervise and work with your 11 International Trustees, ensuring that they serve and work with your district properly; to unite all 33 districts under our common mission, and to do everything in my power to leave this organization better than I found it when I leave office in 2016.

Key Club has an exciting year ahead of it! We’re entering the last decade of our first 100 years. We’re working everyday to make membership larger, stronger, and an experience that leaves all 270,000 satisfied.

As a Key Club member, you’ve chosen to be a part of something greater than yourself.

Greater than your home club, your division, or even your district; you’ve chosen to be one of the thousands of hands Key Club International unites for the greater good around the world. As the saying goes, “United we stand; Divided we fall”: Let’s unite, Key Club. We’re a global network of smart, inspired, capable servant leaders. Can you imagine what we can do when we come together?

It’s an honor to be you leader this year. I wish you the very best in all of your endeabvors this school uear- Key Club otherwise- and thank you sincerely for being a Key Clubber.

Let’s have a fantastic year!

Best Regards, Rip Livingston President, Key Club International rlivingston@alabamakeyclub.org

Greetings from your International Vice President Hello Key Clubbers! My name is Addison Clipfell and I’m the 2015-2016 International Vice President. I’m so excited to serve alongside Rip and all of the trustees for the upcoming year. My role as Vice President is often one of ambiguity but I hope to change that this year. This year I will be working on many things including: chairing the Committee for Service and YOF, being a liaison to the Western Canada district, writing a monthly blog, reading governor monthly reports, serving on the executive committee, and much more. If you have any questions about my role this year, please feel free to ask!

Some fun facts about me are that I play the violin, I work at Old Navy, I love Sudoku, I have a dog named Roxy, and I absolutely love Key Club. Well, you knew that last one right? I truly hope I can inspire and aid all of you in sparking an enthusiasm for Key Club in your members. This is extremely important to create long lasting connections and it is key to keeping members in the k-family. Also, I hope all of your unique clubs continue to do amazing service in the upcoming year and share that with me along the way!

Most importantly I want you to know that while I hold the office of I.V.P, I’m still a regular teenager. I think history is boring, stress about college applications, fan-girl over Fall Out Boy, have a job, and love to serve. I’m just like all of you! I want to be a supporter, a source of encouragement, and a Vice President all wrapped into one. So, with that once again feel free to contact me anytime. My contact info is below. I can’t wait to have an amazing year of service!
