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

It was such a pleasure to meet so many of you during my Club Visits! And to think, I’ve only visited 2 out of 3 of the Key Clubs in our division! To those clubs that I have yet to visit, don’t worry! I am currently planning with your Faculty adviser and School Administration to plan a Lieutenant Governor visit. I’m so excited to attend your first Key Club meetings and to present all the wonderful things the District, Key Club International, and I have been up to the past few months!

Make sure that you are receiving all of my Remind updates and emails! I have provided my contact information down below. This is not only essential to officers, but to members as well. Continue doing the incredible work you are all doing this year! I can’t wait to see the amazing things your club will do for our homes, our schools, and most importantly, our communities.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, and/or requests, please do not hesitate to contact me in anyway. I am here to serve YOU in any capacity I can.

Thank you and yours in serving others,

Texas-Oklahoma District of Key Club International Lieutenant Governor, Division 1 North Secretary of the Divisional Projects Committee

PURPOSE

2) A Letter from our International Vice President: Minyong Kim Hello Division 1 North!

My name is Minyoung Kim and I am so incredibly honored and humbled to serve as your International Vice President for the 2017-18 service year!

A little bit about myself -- I served as the Georgia District Governor for the 201617 term. In my free time, I love to watch Netflix (few of my favorite shows are The Flash, How to Get Away with Murder, and Sense 8) , take pictures, and explore through Yelp to discover aesthetic coffee shops near me!

My job as vice president mainly entails three parts, First, I assist the international president as he supervises over the organization. Second, I work closely with the Western Canada District, to aid in membership growth and participation by providing resources. Lastly, I serve as the chairperson of the committee on Youth Opportunities Fund/Awards.

For the 2017-18 service year, I hope to build more Key Clubs outside of North America as well as ensure that Key Club members experience Key Club to its full potential. In addition, I hope to charter 3 more clubs in the Western Canada District, to admit the district-in-formation as one of Key Club International’s official district! As the Chairperson of committee on Youth Opportunities Fund/Awards, I’ve placed focus on re-evaluating our award system and revising the award criteria for distinguished officers.

I can’t wait to get to know you all as we embark on another Year of service. Let’s continue this year with one full of friendship and a community full of service.

Where over 1,600 Key Clubbers from all across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean travel to share innovative service projects and fundraising ideas, listen to amazing speeches from international famous individuals, and train for your upcoming officer position.

This past summer, I had to opportunity to attend the 2017 International Convention held here in our very own district, in San Antonio. It was such an amazing opportunity to meet Club, District, and International officers from all around the world, discovering Key Club's preferred charities and service organization, and a lot more! I will definitely be going to next year's ICON in Chicago, Illinois without a doubt!

With that being said, I will be giving a presentation at two meetings this month about my experience from this year's ICON and information for next year's ICON.

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.
