Greetings Hey May! Hey Stars! Already it has been almost two months since I was installed as your Lieutenant Governor! Beginning of May, AP/IB testings and finals are just rolling around the cornerâ&#x20AC;Ś. I wish every one of you taking any tests a huge good luck! May the odds be ever in your favor. ď &#x160; Now, back to Key Club business~ Congratulations to all new officers elected for the 2015-2016 term! I know you all will have an amazing year. Please remember that it is crucial that at least 2 officers from each club attend the Divisional Council Meeting (DCM). More officers, more members, the better! Seniors, remember that even if your time is almost up in Key Club, it does not mean that your time is up in service to our community. Thank you for an amazing past two months and see you all soon! Feel free to contact me anytime with questions/concerns or to talk! <3

In love and service, Sharon Lee Division 38 Lieutenant Governor

What is MNT? In 28 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Who suffers from MNT? MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach and those without health care. Can MNT be stopped? Yes! MNT is highly preventable. Just three doses of a 60-cent immunization protect mothers, who then pass on the immunity to their future babies. Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF can stop this disease.
