A Word From Our International Trustee Greetings Division 16!

My name is Anastasia Slepukhova, and I'm so excited to introduce myself as your International Trustee. I am from the Capital District; I live just outside of Washington DC where I have had the privilege of serving as a Lieutenant Governor and District Governor prior to being elected as an International Trustee.

The International Board is comprised of one International President and Vice President and eleven International Trustees. We were all elected at the Key Club International Convention in Indianapolis this past June, and as a group, we have been entrusted with leading Key Club International and serving our members. Every International Trustee is assigned to “Sister” Districts, so this year in conjunction to serving the great New York District, I am also thrilled to be working with the California-Nevada-Hawaii KIWIN’S, Alabama, and Rocky Mountain Districts.

My job as a Trustee, in addition to voting on the International Board and doing committee work, is to support and be a liaison for my three assigned districts- basically the job of what Molly does for you guys, but on the international level. However, as a past District officer, I can attest that the most important job is held by you – our club officers. You are the ones putting in countless of hours organizing fundraisers and service projects. You are the face of Key Club in your communities, and that is why Key Club International is a household name across the world. And because there is so much work that you have to do in order to have thriving clubs, it is the job of everyone else on the District Board and Key Club International to do whatever it takes in order to make your job easier and provide you with all the necessary resources. So if you ever have any questions or if there is anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask!

A little about me is that I was born in Kyrgyzstan, and upon winning a Green Card Lottery, I moved to the United States 10 years ago. I am now a senior at Lake Braddock Secondary School where I am very involved with my class as President and Student Government. I also participate on my school’s Varsity Air Rifle Team and play for the Varsity Girl’s Lacrosse Team. I love staying active and being involved, but Key Club has always been and will continue to be my number one priority. My favorite service project is called “Fantasy Flight” which is an event organized by my local Dulles Airport. We decorate a plane and a whole terminal to look like the North Pole, we dress up as Santa’s helpers and we create a special weekend for kids that participate. On the day of the event, flight attendants are all dressed up as elves and we take kids with terminal illnesses on the plane to the North Pole, where they receive presents and meet Santa. This is one of the most heartwarming projects I annually participate in, the most rewarding part being when you see a child again the following year, knowing they survived and you did something to make their day a little brighter.

I want to thank you all for all the hard work you put into serving your communities. Your altruism is what motivates me to work hard each and every single day. If you have any feedback for me, or if there are any questions that you might have, please know that I am always here for you! You can add me on social media, or you can email me at slepukhova.anastasia@gmail.com Have a terrific year of service key clubbers!
