OCTOBER DIVISIONAL THE OCTOBER DIVISIONAL WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE THAT ENTAILED IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS PERTAINING TO DIVISION 9, AND IT WAS LED BY OUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR FLORA. MANY OTHER CLUBS (SUCH AS MURROW, GOLDSTEIN, STUYVESANT, ETC.) WERE THERE, WHICH WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR KEY CLUBBERS INCLUDING MYSELF TO MEET MEMBERS FROM OTHER CLUBS. IT WAS HELD AT MIDWOOD, SO IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE OTHER CLUBS AT MY HOME CLUB. AFTER THE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE HAD AN ICEBREAKER WHICH WAS REALLY FUN AND INFORMATIVE, AND ALLOWED EVERYONE TO LET THEIR GUARDS DOWN. I LEFT THE DIVISIONAL FEELING HAPPY AND EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING EVENTS. I DEFINITELY WILL BE ATTENDING THE NEXT ONE!!
CLUB FAIR I WENT TO THE CLUB FAIR THAT WAS HELD OCTOBER AND IT WAS EXTREMELY FUN. I WAS RUNNING AROUND HANDING OUT PIECES OF PAPER THAT HAD IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KEY CLUB. I ALSO VERBALLY INFORMED LOTS OF PEOPLE ABOUT THE CLUB AND THE AMAZING THINGS THAT WE, AS KEY CLUBBERS, DO AND ACCOMPLISH. I MENTIONED SOME OF THE UPCOMING EVENTS AT THAT TIME AND SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT I HAD PARTICIPATED IN AND ENJOYED, SUCH AS VOLUNTEERING AT THE SOUP KITCHEN. AGAIN, I HAD A LOT OF FUN AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE HELPING OUT ONCE AGAIN AT THE NEXT CLUB FAIR.

OVERALL, I ENJOYED THE POSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE ATMOSPHERE AND UNITY AT THE WALK. - GLORIA GLENN MEMBER

I WOULD JUMP AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOLUNTEER AT ANOTHER EVENT LIKE THIS, BECAUSE I HAD AN UPLIFTED SPIRIT FULL OF MOTIVATION AND DETERMINATION WHEN I LEFT! - JADEN THOMAS OFFICER
