A Note From Your LTG Hi Everyone! My name is Chloe Baker and I am a rising sophomore at Ticonderoga High School. I became our Lieutenant Governor almost a month ago and I am so excited to meet you all very soon! Most of my free time is spent hanging with my dog or working at the local ice cream shop. This service year I hope to connect our division with the district and international ideas as well as getting to know each and every one of you! August 2019 l Page 1

Service Spotlight “On Saturday, July 20th, our Key Clubbers worked hard to brighten the day of many children with a Kiwanis Kid Day in the Park. Activities included a dunk tank, petting zoo, face painting, and so much more! THere were prizes to be won with a ball throwing game, and the best part was the only thing that cost money was concession. Key Clubbers helped set up, and then operated whatever station needed people. This particular day was a humid, hot and miserable but the Norwood Norfolk Key Clubbers, plus one from Madrid, powered through. Thank you Norwood Norfolk Key Clubbers, Sydney Jarvis, Travis LaDue, Brandi LaDue, Courtney Philips, Reanna Taylor, Hayden Harper, advisor Patti Dean, and Madrid Washington Key Clubber Sarah Weaver for offering your free time!� -Norwood Norfolk Club President Sydney Jarvis, Division 24 August 2019 l Page 7
