Greetings

Hello Division 27, First off, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Ashley Yoo and I am currently a junior at the International Community School located in Kirkland, WA, and I am your new lieutenant governor for the 2013-2014 term.

Recently, we’ve returned from the biggest PNW event of the year: our annual District Convention where we dove into service and celebrated the countless hours we’ve put into building our community.

As we’ve recovered from the highs of new friends and experiences, as well as the lows of post convention depression, we, as a division, must say goodbye to our dearest Ms. Kristi Chan. As we reflect upon the year we’ve had in the 2012-2013 term, all I can say is thank you, Kristi. I wish you the best of luck in this next chapter of your life.

I would also like to congratulate our new Division 27 Area Administrator, John Lux. I look forward to working with you this year, and thank you for supporting our division. I

know that with your help, we will be able to reach new heights—the sky is the limit.

I am incredibly excited for this next year with an amazing group of individuals.

We’ve grown a lot this past year, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have room for improvement. I hope you are all ready for an awesome year of service, and I can’t wait for what’s in store for Division 27.

With love and service,

Ashley Yoo

About: Key Club Motto: Caring—Our Way of Life Mission Statement: Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership.

Service Initiative: Project Eliminate International President: Rebecca Riley

The Plan: ‘13-’14 I’d like each school to come up with a list of goals for the 2013-2014 school year. We will share these goals throughout the year and what we’ve done to deliver them. We will also be creating goals as a division, such as turning in all of our dues in early-bird, or possibly chartering a new club in the area. There will be a section of the newsletter keeping up with your progress.

Farewell Dear Division 27, It has been a pleasure serving as your 2012-2013 lieutenant governor.

This year has been a blast and I am glad that I have met each and every one of you. Before I ran for this position, I had no clue what I was getting myself into, but it has been one of the best years of my life! I have been able to meet amazing , smart, kind , and caring people. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity. I know that Ashley will do an amazing job for the upcoming year and just remember to always have fun! I hope you all had a great key club year and continue serving your home school and community. Love you all! :)
