Message from our trustee
LAMISSTEN District
Hello everyone! My name is Roshni Chandwani, and I am your 2013-2014 International Trustee. The three districts that I serve are Eastern Canada, Kentucky-Tennessee, and Pacific Northwest. I wanted to start off by telling you a little bit more about myself and my goals for the year!
Internationa Trusteeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; KentuckyTennessee, Pacific Northwest and Eastern Canada District Rashni Chandwani
One of the main things that I will be emphasizing this year is the Youth Opportunities Fund because it's a resource that's extremely under-utilized, and I know that your clubs could really benefit from this grant. Another thing that I'm focusing on this year is Key Club week. Membership recruitment is always a priority, no matter how large your district is, and Key Club week is the perfect opportunity for your district to grow. And finally, I want you all to know that you can contact me at any time! As a club officer and as a district board member, I was always hesitant to contact my trustee, and that should never be the case. If you have a question or if you just want to say hi, send me an-email, Facebook message, or text! Please join the FB page created for all the Sister District members . http://tinyurl.com/kkttu53)
