Lieutenant Lieutenant governor governor greeting greeting

Hi Seals, welcome to fall! First off I would just like to mention I am so proud of all of you and your hard work since we entered the school year. I love to see it, keep it going! Throughout the month of October keep pushing through to your members and articulating our mission. Our goals for this month is to have more participation at events and meetings and overall have more events offered to our members. As for the service year, we have already went through HALF of our service year. With that said, we still have plenty of time to keep showing our care for service.

This month we will be having our first in person divisional meeting so make sure to sign up with registration is released. There is going to be limited seating so sign up asap. I hope to see you all soon!

Yours in Care and Service,

Maggie Reznik

Governor's project

This years Governor' s Project is THIRST PROJECT. This organization conducts its efforts to terminate the global water crisis via a team of young adults.

This is crucial as clean water is scarce in many areas of the world which leads to much sanitation concerns. We, as Key Clubbers, will help raise funds for this outstanding cause and contribute further to the efforts of providing clean water to all!

The District Project for this year will be Alex' s Lemonade Stand. This organization was created by Alex Scott who suffered from neuroblastoma. The mission of this organization is to aid families affected by childhood cancer and fund towards the research.
