Division of the Month This part of my newsletter will feature a different Division from the RMD that I will randomly choose every month. For this month of September Division 16 will be the very first to be featured! Congratulations!

Division 16

Division 16 is made up of six schools: Estes Park High School, Fort Collins High School, Fossil Ridge High School, Liberty Common High School, Loveland High School, and Rocky Mountain High School.

Division 16 is ran by one of the most dedicated and driven person I have come to know through Key Club.

Division 16 is lucky and fortunate enough to have someone who will stay up all night to make sure he finishes his newsletters on time or finish up last minute details for meetings. He has become a very close friend of mine and I am honored to be able to work next to someone who has a passion for Key Club like no one else. This hard working Key Clubber and friend is none other than Justin Moritz.

Keys to being a successful Secretary Hello! First, congratulations on being elected as your clubs secretary! I know you might be overwhelmed right now with trying to figure out exactly what your job is as secretary. Don’t stress too much about it because every school is different in the duties the positions hold. I recommend you talk to the past secretary and give you all the information you need to be successful; if for whatever reason you are not able to get ahold of the past secretary talk to the past president! I will break down what International says the secretary’s general duties are; don’t worry if your club does not necessarily do all of them- every school is different.
