Get the Scoop from Sandoz Heading Back to School LaMissTenn
In this issue! Greetings .................. ..1
Hello Club Secretaries and Treasurers! For those of you who do not know, my name is Reagan Sandoz and I have the honor of serving you as your Key Club District SecretaryTreasurer for this year. I could not be happier to serve this amazing organization with such great servant leaders. I know that we will have a year to remember. As Key Clubbers, we all have our own stories as to why we joined the organization in the first place. I joined Key Club as a freshman because I was in desperate need of service hours, (it is a requirement at my school). However, after being a part of my school’s club for a couple months, I noticed something special about it. I realized that Key Club is the only club in the world where leaders come together not only to serve, but to be part of a family that extends across the
world. I am so proud to call myself one of the 250,000 Key Clubbers across the globe. I am so proud to serve such an amazing district. And most importantly, I am so proud to be a part of such an incredible family. If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns about Key Club or anything under the K-Family umbrella, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours in Friendship and Service, Reagan Sandoz LaMissTenn District SecretaryTreasurer
