“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Aloha Aqua Apes!

The year is slowly coming to a close, and it’s sad to say there are only a few more months of our term left. But do not fret! We still have time to accomplish many of the goals we set out in the beginning of our terms, and also revise a few. Have you been keeping track of your goals? How many of them have you reached? These are all things you should think about when reflecting upon your Key Club journey as it comes to a close.

These upcoming months, we all should be focusing on transitioning. Elections should take place by the end of February, and you should give yourself enough time to train your elect for your position. Though the transition period is sad for many, just know that you are trying to leave a legacy behind with your elect. Make sure that you are hosting your elections, and training your officers! Their new terms begin the last day of DCON. Remember Aqua Apes, if you ever need someone to talk to, the Division Leadership Team is always here for you, as friends and as Key Clubbers. We are one big Aqua Ape Ohana, and we always support each other through the good times and the rougher ones. Thank you Division 34 North for all you do!

Let’s finish this year strong!

Going Bananas for Service, Jeremy Jimenez Division 34 North Lieutenant Governor
