LETTER FROM LTG
I LOVE YOU GUYS <3
D16W, where do I even begin? I want to start off by saying THANK YOU. Serving as your Lieutenant Governor this term has been absolutely life-changing, and I feel I’ve grown in ways I’ve never thought imaginable. Starting this term, you guys don’t understand how nervous I was. I didn’t think I would be able to live up to the bar that our past LTGs have set. I was filled with self-doubt and unease about how this term would go. Throughout this term, planning events and having members attend was shocking and so exciting. Even if I didn’t show it or you didn’t recognize it, anytime you showed up to an event, I became super giddy inside. I appreciated every single member who attended any of our events. Thanks to YOU ALL- members, officers, DLT members, region partnersyou have positively shaped my outlook on myself and got me out of a really dark place. Meeting every member, training every officer, and hosting every event has made this experience something I will never, ever forget. I will always remember our 100-degree DCMs in the summer, our insane spirit sessions, and exhausting service events. We all made a collective effort to change our community for the better, and I couldn’t be prouder of all of you. For my final remarks, I would like to give special thanks to Sophie for keeping up with our newsletters every month. In these letters, I feel like I’m always
able to share a bit of my heart with you guys! Well, that’s all from me! Thank you, Division 16 West, for an amazing term.
Forever Bubbly In Service, TAYESANGKHAE

LETTER FROM DNE
IT’S OUR FINAL ISSUE TOGETHER!!!
I can’t believe it’s my final time writing a letter for the Axolotl Chronicles. This term flew by so fast, and I’m so grateful that I got to be apart of such an incredible leadership team. Through this position, I have been able to improve my design skills on a whole different level, and I am so apprieciative that I can make such an informative newsletter for D16W! It was amazing being able to connect with different clubs through articles and visuals, along with getting to make little notes for readers every month. I really love how creative I am able to be through the newsletted, and I really have been changed through this position. It gives me something to look forward to every month, something I can strive to perfect. This club is such an amazing organization filled with such unique people and I could not be more happy to be part of such an amazing team. I hope I was able to show the love you all have shown to me through these newsletters, and the countless hours I have worked to bring you a different newsletter filled with new content every month. The Axolotl Chronicles are an awesome way to stay updated with Key Club, and it’s an honor to take part in such an amazing

LETTER FROM MEDIA COORDINATOR
HOW’S THE TIDE, AXOS?
I can’t believe it’s already the end of my term and time in Key Club This term has been so special to me and it’s surreal that it’s coming to an end so
soon. Key Club has meant so much to me throughout high school and being able to serve on your DLT has truly made my senior year so special. It has been such a memorable and formative experience, giving me the opportunity to meet amazing people, allowing me to express my creativity and explore my artistic style, and opening many more doors for me. And although my time in D16W is coming to end, I’ll always carry with me the bonds and silly memories I made, along with all my little axolotl drawings. It’s bittersweet having to say so many goodbyes at once, but I’m honored to
have gotten the chance to get to know so many of you So for the last time, splash you later, Axos!
