LtG projects

ORGANIZED BY JOHNNY APPLESEED LTG NICOLE BUNAG

Hello! I am Nicole Bunag, the Lieutenant Governor of the Johnny Appleseed Division. For my Lieutenant Governor project, I chose to raise crayons for the Crayon Initiative! The Crayon Initiative collects crayons from around the world, removes the paper off of them, re-melts them into their specific colors, and finally re-molds them. Then, with all of these crayons, they have reprocessed, they give them out to children in hospitals to hopefully put a smile on their faces and make their day a little brighter and happier! The reason they remove the paper is that it can be a health hazard for children in hospitals. The health hazard includes the paper carrying bacteria and spreading it to the children, which would not be good for their health. My goal for the Johnny Appleseed Division was to raise a total of 20 pounds from all 3 schools in my division, which include Angola High School, Fremont High School, and Garrett High School. Fremont High School did a great job and was able to raise 8.3 pounds of crayons, which is also the total amount that was collected! The 8.3 pounds that were raised were able to help around 100 kids!

WHAT IS AN LTG PROJECT?

An LtG Project is a division-wide project organized and executed by your division's Lieutenant Governor! The LtG Project may be donation-based, where your LtG chooses a cause and organizes a way to donate to it, or volunteer-based, where they organize a service project and invite the entire division to serve together. If your division was not included in this section, that could mean one of two things: your LtG project has not happened yet, or your division is vacant. If your situation is the first, ask your officers or advisor! They should have received information on your Lieutenant Governor's project by now, and if not, contact them. If your division is vacant, that is, does not have a Lieutenant Governor, you will not have an LtG Project for this service year.

Having a Lieutenant Governor is extremely important for your club! If your division is vacant, remember to encourage club members or officers to run for the position.
