LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S GREETING! Hey Division 23 Bees! I'm Yanisa Chaisomboonpan and I am so beyond excited to be serving as your Lieutenant Governor for the 2022-2023 service year. I'm a current junior at Brighton High School, and I was able to serve as webmaster this past year in my home club. By being apart of Key Club since my freshmen year, I have made some of the best memories, met some of the greatest people, and do what I love most, which is giving back to my community. Being inspired by past LTGs before me and seeing the work that they play in helping Key Club thrive, I decided to run for LTG, which has been an amazing experience to say the least. Key Club is my second home and provides a door to so many opportunities and forever friendships. I'm looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you to make this service year an amazing one. As we embark on this journey together, please know that I am always here for you!

With that being said, I hope you enjoy my first issue of The Key to Division 23, our monthly newsletter, of the new 2022-2023 service year!

Yours in Care and Service,

Division 23 Lieutenant Governor 2022-2023

SPRING BOARD MEETING!

D23 SERVICE SPOTLIGHT What's the best way to unwind - while still helping the community before the end of the school year? Painting rocks, of "quartz"! Key Club members from Brighton recently paid the Harley Key Club a visit; the students all came together for a rock painting session, where they could not only socialize and have fun, but more importantly, spread positive energy to the surrounding community.

Aprons on, paint bottles open, and blank rocks ready - everyone eagerly got to work, covering each rock with bright and encouraging messages. By the end of the event, we had a sizeable collection of unique and stunning art pieces. These rocks were then displayed around the schools, where they can surely bring a smile to anyone's face.
