I hope everyone is enjoying their first week or few weeks of school. I am excited to start my senior year and make as big of a difference in my community and school as I can. I would like to wish you luck as you plan your divisional events and let me know if you need anything from me. Also, let me know of any divisional or regional events so I can try to go. Remember to send out all the resources to club secretaries, encourage clubs to report, and learn how to report so you can help others. I hope you all have a great month and once again if there is anything I can do to help you with something or answer any questions you have let me know.

Good Day T-O District Board, It’s back to school season! School has already started for some and has yet to begin for others. The start of school also brings about homework, extracurricular activities, and impending stress. Don’t stress too much and always remember the fun in Key Club.

The start of school is also the perfect time for Key Club membership! Get to promoting Key Club by publicizing the Club Newsletters and especially the Tex-O-Key. The August/ September Tex-O-Key will be posted this Friday. Be on the look out for it and read, read, read it!

Good Luck With School, Emily Zhao
