AUGUST 2019 Written by Tatiana Solodova, Division 23 Lieutenant Governor

Lieutenant Governor's Greeting Hey Division 23!

Wow, summer’s already coming to a close. This was by far one of the quickest summers for me. Recently, I’ve just been studying for my SAT and finishing last minute summer homework. Also, this past weekend I had the privilege of attending the Kiwanis District Convention in Niagara Falls with Governor Camille! It was a great experience for me because I got to learn more about our K-Family and how Kiwanis works. Let me know what you’ve done this summer!

The date for Fall Rally is now set! Western NY Fall Rally will take place overnight November 16-17 at Salamanca High School. Mark the date! It’s an opportunity to bond and interact with the divisions and Key Clubbers near us.

There will be officer trainings and workshops and lots of fun activities. Spread the word to your club members! The more people that come the more fun we will have. If getting a ride is a problem, let me know!

Additionally, the date for the October Divisional has been set! The Division 23 October divisional will take place on Saturday, October 26 from 14pm at the Sigl Center in Rochester, NY. Keith Cummings will be there as a guest speaker and we will also do a small service project. Please let your club members know!

Lastly, even though it’s summer, paperwork should still be filled out. It’s important to let the district board know what each club is up to throughout the whole year. Monthly report forms are due on the 10th of each month and the Election report form is due on September 1st. Please fill it out!

Yours in Service, Tatiana Solodova Lt. Governor

Circle K is the college equivalent to Key Club. We focus on three tenets, service, leadership & fellowship. We perform service for our communities both on campus and off campus, have a large amount of leadership opportunities to help our members grow, and host events creating friendships between all of our members.

Service Spotlight Norwood Norfolk High SchoolKey Club - Division 24 “On Saturday, July 20th, our Key Clubbers worked hard to brighten the day of many children with a Kiwanis Kids Day in the Park. Activities included a dunk tank, petting zoo, face painting, and so much more! There were prizes to be won with a ball throwing game, and the best part was the only things that cost money was concession. Key Clubbers helped set up, and then operated whatever station needed people. This particular day was a humid, hot, and miserable, but the Norwood Norfolk Key Clubbers, plus one from Madrid, powered through. Thank you to Norwood Norfolk Key Clubbers, Sydney Jarvis, Travis LaDue, Brandi LaDue, Courtney Philips, Reanna Taylor, Hayden Harper, advisor Patti Dean, and Madrid-Waddington Key Clubber Sarah Weaver for offering your free time!�

-Sydney Jarvis, Norwood Norfolk Club President

Governor's Project This year's governor's project is the New York Chapter of the Special Olympics. Special Olympics New York is an all inclusive athletic opportunity.

Athletes with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to challenge themselves in fair and even competition. Win or lose, they develop their own character, make friends and find unknown wells of determination within themselves. Special Olympics pushes the message of inclusion, which is something that everyone can get behind.

International Partners The Thirst Project: The Thirst Project is an official partner of Key Club International. It focuses on raising money to provide clean water to children all over the world. In many underdeveloped countries, women and children have to take hours out of their day in order to get water which, in the end, isn’t even clean. As a result of this organization, more children will be able to go to school and get an education.
