Monthly Message
Hey Division 5!
Now that I have introduced myself in the last newsletter I
will start by giving you an update about what is going on in
Key Club. First off, I want to let you know that Key Club is
amazing, and I am so grateful to be your new Lt. Governor.
I love being able to help make your Key Club experience
better! Additionally, if you have an event or meeting, I would
love to come! Just let me know about it and I’ll be there.
This year's Governors project is to help out The Children’s
Miracle Network. There will be more information about this
soon. Just be on the lookout for more information on the
project. Also, if you ever run into any problems, want to
talk about Key Club, or need anything at all I can be reached
at any time on my phone (text/call 210-748-2014), email
([email protected]), or through Facebook (let me know
if you are not on the division 5 FB page). I am here for you
all and I can’t wait to grow as a division and get to know you
all more! FUN FACT! Dreaming about fireworks means
that you like to be the center of attention and are showing
off to others. It also symbolizes enthusiasm and exhilaration.
When: Saturday July 19th
, 2014
Time: 12pm – 4pm
Where:
Who: All officers and members
For: Discuss summer events for
the division and bond afterwards in
a social.
Bring: Potluck item to share,
and wear comfortable clothes that
can get wet (we may have water
games)
RSVP: Let me know if you or
your club is coming by July 17th
Summer Goals!
1) Make sure that I have contacted every officer and collect the correct
contact information from every officer.
-I plan to do this by contacting officers on the weekends by means of
communication that works for them and to emphasize the importance of
checking emails.
2) Have at least one fun social between all the clubs in the division.
-I plan to do this by contacting different venues and seeing which is best
to have an awesome social with all the key clubbers in the division.
3) Attend a planning meeting with every club this summer so the school
year runs smoothly.
-I plan to carry this out by contacting each club and scheduling a meeting
where plans will be made and officers will understand their responsibilities.

Bored this summer? Visit your Kiwanis! -Our sponsoring Kiwanis Clubs have meetings just like Key Club and it is important to try and go at least a couple of times so that you make a connection
with the people who are here to help you. They love when you come! See my
attached Kiwanis meeting days and try and go to a meeting. Also, if you are nervous to go by yourself I would love to come with you because I am familiar
with them.
Trouble with finding events during the year? Plan this summer!! -It is very important to meet with the officers in your club at least once or twice
throughout the summer so that the school year runs smoothly and you know
what direction your headed. You can hold a meeting at a local fast food
restaurant or an officer’s house. Also, I would love to come to your planning
meeting and help you plan your year!
FRESHMEN ORIENTATION!
If your school has one take advantage of this! This is an awesome
opportunity to recruit members for
your club. Ask if you can set up a booth with posters, brochures, and
pictures about what you do in key
club. Also, have members sign up to talk to interested members and I have
a sign up sheet where interested
members can put their name and
e-mail. Freshmen are trying to find
their way in high school so be sure to
focus on them! I am also willing to
come to recruiting events. I want to
help you increase membership
