Aloha Aqua Apes! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone is enjoying a much needed Winter Break. As we are approaching the end of the third quarter of our term, I would like to just take the time to say THANK YOU. Thank YOU, Division 34 North, for all the apetastic service accomplished so far. We now only have one quarter left in our term; only 3 months left! Let’s end the term strong. One big thing we need to focus on: SERVICE! Every club’s goal this year is to achieve 1,000 hours of service, representing the 1,000 reasons Aqua Apes serve their home, schools, and communities. Congratulations to Lowell for reaching 1,000 hours of service! DCON is coming up and I hope all of you are planning to attend! Remember to keep up with the division reflector, and visit the CNH Cyberkey for more information. Also, contests are out, and I want all of you to apply. Get recognized; as a member, as an officer, as a club, or better yet, all three! If you have any questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk to, I am always here for you. Whether you need me as a Lieutenant Governor or as a friend, feel free to contact me. I love hearing from all of you! Keep Calm, and Ape ON! Going Bananas for Service, Jeremy Jimenez Division 34 North Lieutenant Governor

Challenge of the month This month, message/email why you want to attend DCON 2014! You can be as detailed as you want to be. Remember, all of these responses aren’t graded or anything to that sorts; they are just to give me more incite!
