Hello everyone!! My name Is Alex VanMeter and I am your Division 24 LTG.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far! Remember to put yourself out there over the break and help out your community. Keep up the fantastic work with all of your paperwork forms!
If you have any questions do not feel afraid to reach out!
Hi NYDKC!
My name is Ava Stamatakis, and I have the honor of serving as your Key Club International Trustee! The other districts I serve are the Alabama District and the Caribbean-Atlantic District. Together, our “sister” districts make up the NewCariBama Sistrict!
My job as International Trustee is to spread awareness of Key Club’s global presence, to connect members to resources, and to support district leadership in whatever ways I can. In this regard, you will see me holding monthly office hours, hosting quarterly sistrict events, sending monthly newsletters, posting on Instagram frequently (follow @newaribama), and much more. The majority of my job, however, is dedicated to committee work at the international level, which I will update you on throughout the year.
Our adventure together starts now. In fact, I have a few resources for you so that we can stay in touch:
Follow @newcaribama on Instagram
Attend my monthly office hours (next one is May 23rd 8pm-9pm EST on Instagram Live)
Access our Linktree (www.linktree.com/newcaribama) for all relevant links!
NYDKC, I am here to support, guide, and serve you. I cannot wait for all the future has in store for you, for us, and for our sistrict. I know this is going to be an incredible year, so let’s continue to serve our homes, schools, and communities.
Please do not hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you!
Yours in Friendship and Service, Ava Stamatakis
Key Club International Trustee 2022-2023
