2) A Letter from our Lieutenant Governor Clarence Manglal-lan Hey, Key Clubbers!

Apologizes it's been awhile since I last came into contact with all of you.

After attending this year's Key Club International Convention and our TexasOklahoma Summer District Board Meeting, Here is some important information for all of you!

For our June edition of our Divisional Newsletter, we urge you to please be sure to read through it as it contains District and International Updates, Important Club information, Divisional project information, and Key Club partners and Key Leader information. And among all of it, with courtesy of the International and District Key Club board, we actually have two letters from our International President, William Sims, and District Governor, Sabrina Palma. Along with contact information for both our new District and International board.

This year, I would like to visit each of your clubs at least 3-4 times this year. With that being said, I will be scheduling an official LTG Visit to both your general members and club officers sometime August-September, that way we will be able to contact business more efficiently and effectively.

That is all I have for now, if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, feel free to contact me in any way. As always: I am here to serve YOU. I look forward to attending your Club meetings!

Thank you and yours in service, Clarence Manglal-lan Lieutenant Governor , Division 1 North

PURPOSE

2) A Letter from our International President William Sims Hello Division 1 North of the Texas Oklahoma District, My name is William Sims and I am your 2017-2018 International President! I am so excited for this new opportunity to serve y'all this year.

Here is a little bit about myself. In case you could not tell by my use of "y'all," I am from the southern part of the United States, specifically Alabama. I love to play and watch sports, I can quote an embarrassing amount of Disney movies, and I love a good bacon cheeseburger.

As a freshman, I was elected Lieutenant Governor. This was the beginning of what would be an amazing journey that would allow me to meet thousands of people and serve even more! As a sophomore, I was elected District Governor of the GREAT Alabama District. Serving as Governor allowed me to develop my leadership skills and meet people all around the world! Now, I am the International President of Key Club International. I still cannot believe it sometimes! I am thrilled to serve you this year!

Last week the new International Board and all of the District Governors came together in Indianapolis for LeadCon. We became better leaders, became closer as an International Council, and had a lot of fun. After meeting the amazing District Governors and getting closer with my International Board, I can honestly say that this year will be an amazing one for Key Club International and the T-O District!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or you just want to say hi! my email is wsimskci@gmail.com Have a great year!

THE SERVICE

2) A Letter from our District Governor Sabrina Palma Hey 1N! I’m Sabrina Palma and I’m excited to say that I’m your new District Governor for the remainder of the Key Club year! I’m an upcoming senior at Garland High School. Outside of Key Club you can find me at boba shops, natatoriums, and debate rooms. I hope to be able to visit y'all before DCON and not cry too much about college applications. I will be working with you and your president to make sure your club will be the best they can be.

The Governor’s Project this year is focused on helping children and adults with disabilities.

This ranges from working with Wounded Warriors Project to volunteering at your local Special Olympics. Every month will be dedicated to a different non-profit organization. For example, November will be dedicated to epilepsy awareness and October will be dedicated to adults and children with Down’s Syndrome. This year’s project allows you to be creative and more hands on, so I hope you and your club takes advantage by participating in the Governor’s Project this year!

As the summer is coming to an end, the opportunity to trap freshman into joining Key Club is just around the corner. Now’s your chance to prepare to increase your club membership and start the school year right with Key Club. Ways to increase your membership is volunteering for your school’s freshman orientation and hosting Key Club socials for the incoming freshman. You can find more advertisements and strategies to increase membership through Clarence or the district website attokeyclub.com.

Thank you for all that you’ve done and feel free to contact me with the information found below!

Yours in Service, Sabrina Palma E: governor@tokeyclub.com C: (972) 762-1021

THE SERVICE PURPOSE

3) ICON: San Antonio ICON was a fantastic opportunity to spend time and bond with Key Clubbers in our district, meet and greet other Key Club members, officers, and advisers from all around the globe, an opportunity to learn more about Key Club, Kiwanis International, and the organizations it works together with, but to also learn the true meaning of servant leadership and what the domains of having the Courage to Engage, the Call to Lead, and the Heart to Serve truly mean.

From volunteering at the multiple workshops and forums taught, meeting Key Club members, International officers, district officers from around the world, and exploring the city of San Antonio, ICON will always be a memory I will always cherish. Along with voting in our new International President, Vice President, and Trustees!

9) Divisional Project: K – Family Konnections

THE SERVICE

Our Divisional Project, K –Family: Konnections, will focus on working together with 4 of the main Kiwanis Family Organizations other than Key Club. Specific club officers will be assigned to specific Connections, and our Lieutenant Governor, Clarence Manglal-lan, will work on all.

• Kiwanis Club: The Kiwanis Clubs in our area are our main source of support and sponsorship. Kiwanis International is basically the adult version of Key Club.

• Circle K: Our area is included in Kiwanis Division 1; however, in Key Club our Division is split into 2 sections, 1 North and 1 South. Currently there is no Circle K Club in Division 1. Our goal this year is to establish at least 1-2. We can accomplish this by getting in contact with current college/university students, and/or former Key Club Alumni to help begin the charter process.

• Builder’s Club and K-Kids: The Kiwanis Family starts way before high school, with K-Kids focusing on Elementary schools, and Builder’s Club focusing on middle/junior high schools. Our Division currently has little to none. By chartering either, it will help boost our membership in the long run future of our division.
