HELLO CHILIES!
HAPPY MARCH AND COUNT DOWN TO OUR DISTRICT CONVENTION! WITH A DAY UNTIL DCON MEANS THE CLOSURE OF THE 2022 - 2023 DISTRICT BOARD'S TERM. WITH ALL THINGS, GOOD THINGS MUST SADLY COME TO AN END.
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW ME, MY NAME IS REBEKAH ALLEN AND I AM YOUR 2022-2023 SOUTHWEST DISTRICT BULLETIN EDITOR. DURING MY TERM, I MET SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE WITH SUCH AN AMAZING DISTRICT BOARD IN WHICH I CAN CALL THEM MY FRIENDS.
I HAVE HAD THE BEST TIME USING MY CREATIVITY TO CREATE THESE PUBLICATIONS AND SHOWCASE THE AMAZING WAYS YOUR CLUBS CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY!
I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU ALL AT DCON! IF YOU SEE ME SAY HELLO!
STAY SPICY SOUTHWEST!
I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A FANTASTIC FEBRUARY AND A GREAT STAR KNOW, THE SOUTHWEST DISTRICT CONVENTION IS THIS MONTH AND WILL MARK THE END OF MY TERM AS GOVERNOR. I WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS ARTICLE TO REFLECT ON ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR.
FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE CLUBS AND STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S GOVERNOR’S PROJECT. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE MADE IT OUR GOAL TO RAISE ENOUGH MONEY TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FRESHWATER WELL THAT WOULD PROVIDE CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO AN ENTIRE VILLAGE. I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT GOAL. OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS WE HAVE RAISED OVER $13,000. THAT MONEY WILL GIVE ROUGHLY 520 PEOPLE CLEAN WATER FOR LIFE. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY DOZENS OF FUNDRAISERS FROM SCHOOLS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST DISTRICT AND DEMONSTRATES THE IMPACT KEY CLUBBERS CAN HAVE, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THEIR COMMUNITY, WHEN THEY WORK TOGETHER.
SECONDLY, I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE GREAT WORK THAT CAME OUT OF THIS YEAR’S DISTRICT COMMITTEES. THE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE DID A FANTASTIC JOB OF MAKING THE DISTRICT BOARD MORE EFFICIENT SO THAT WE CAN SPEND MORE ENERGY FOCUSING ON HOW TO BEST SERVE EACH CLUB. THE MEMBERSHIP AND SERVICE COMMITTEE OUTDID THEMSELVES BY LAUNCHING K-KOMP AND ADVERTISING A NEW SERVICE PROJECT EACH MONTH. THE DISTRICT EVENTS COMMITTEE HAVE DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF PLANNING DCON AND I AM SO EXCITED TO PARTICIPATE IN EVERYTHING THEY HAVE PLANNED.
FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO EACH KEY CLUBBER FOR THE AMAZING WORK THEY HAVE DONE THIS YEAR. EACH OF YOU HAVE HAD A TANGIBLE IMPACT ON YOUR COMMUNITY AND SHOULD BE PROUD OF THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE YOUR GOVERNOR AND AM PROUD OF THE CHANGES THE DISTRICT HAS MADE DURING MY TERM. THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING YEAR!
