EXECUTIVE BO

District Governor Nola Stenstrom

I hope that you are all enjoying your summer break and have been continuing to maintain active participation in your clubs Now is the perfect time to get involved by volunteering at your local food bank or homeless shelter, doing a park clean-up, helping out at a Kiwanis festival stand, etc While you should strive to continue to be proactive within your communities, now is also a great time to reflect, relax and rejuvenate before the school year begins I know that as high school students it's easy to get overwhelmed with a variety of different commitments and we often do not get enough time to take a step back and have some downtime For this reason, over the summer months, do not feel obligated to push yourself to the limit. There’s no need to feel guilty for taking time for yourself.

In addition to self-care, now is an opportune time to do some goal-setting and quarterly planning for the upcoming service year. While you take this yearly break from school, even just brainstorming some main goals you want to accomplish this next year can prove to be extremely useful. If you're a club member, that could be fulfilling five hours of community service per month, and if you're a club officer, that could be planning to hold consistent club officer meetings throughout the entirety of the school year Goal-setting and reflection is how we as an Executive Committee continue to improve our annual PNW Key Club events such as Key Club Days, committee webinars and of course, District Convention With that, please continue to engage with the District and stay updated through our Instagram, Biweekly Email Updates, and publications! You can always connect with me via email at governor@pnwkeyclub org with any ideas, questions, comments, or concerns you have
