Family Ties Capital Key Club MACY LINDBLOM, GOVERNOR Hello Capital Kiwanians, The holidays have arrived and with that, Key Clubbers have been more active than ever! Through volunteering at local food banks, organizing clothing drives, and helping to unload Christmas trees, we have seen an impressive amount of service the past few months as clubs start up for the year and generate momentum. On the district level, there have been a variety of exciting developments as we transition back from the pandemic. In November, we held our first in-person Board Meeting in almost two years! It was truly amazing to meet so many of our adult mentors and LTGs face-to-face, and the weekend was without a doubt a highlight of the year. Additionally, we were extremely fortunate to be joined by Kiwanis Governor, Ms. Gardner, and WV Key Club Governor, Anna. The vast relationships and network of the K-family is what makes our organization special, so we were thrilled to have successful in-person and virtual attendance. As we move into the fourth quarter of the Key Club year in January, we have a lot to accomplish but an unparalleled energy to do so. Specifically, lieutenant governors will be working hard to promote their positions and find successors - with the goal of holding division elections during January and February. We have also introduced criteria for the RFL Outstanding Lieutenant Governor award, so we are hoping to receive many applications and recognize the dedicated work of our board.
DCON preparations are well underway as we start finalizing the logistics of our service celebration. The event will take place from March 25th-27th, 2022 in Crystal City, VA - a central location for both Capital and West Virginia Key Clubbers. During our recent Board Meeting, we held an open discussion, ultimately determining that the theme for DCON 2022 will be fairy tale! Registration will be released in the coming months, however, our clubs are already preparing for the event, as they have begun to complete district award applications to be recognized at DCON. While the past few months have been busy, they’ve been nothing short of memorable. As the holidays approach, I’m wishing each and every one of you a happy Winter filled with family, friends, and joy. Thank you so much for all that you do to support Key Club, and please do not hesitate to reach out at any point! Yours in Service and Friendship, Macy Lindblom
Yours in Service,
