\GREETINGS FROM YOUR NEW LEIUTENANT GOVERNOR!
Hello Division 15!
My name is Olivia and I’m so excited to be working with you all this service year! We’re
in for an amazing time, so make sure you hold on for the ride and check your emails
constantly so you can see what your District Board, your fellow Division 15 members,
and I are up to! These emails also contain important information that does require a
response. I hope that all of you who were able to attend LTC had a great time this is
truly a transitional period where the new officers can get a feel for stepping up, and so
the old officers can train them to take over their jobs the following year. Use it wisely! So
what’s going on at the District Level? THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN
WASHINGTON, DC IS VASTLY APPROACHING! I hope at least some of you are going,
because I’m very excited to meet you all. I plan to be visiting all of the clubs starting in -
September of the 2013-14 school year. Keep up the great work! If you have any
questions please turn to the last page of this newsletter, and you will find my contact
information!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you all soon.
Yours in Service,
Olivia Austin- LTG Division 15
REMINDERS AND UPCOMING EVENTS!
All monthly report forms, and Fundraising report forms need to be sent in each
month, even if you don’t hold any meetings or attend any events. (THIS INCLUDES
THE SUMMER)
If you are going to ICON, the money was due on June 1st!
There will be a Fall Rally in October! ALL OFFICERS ARE MANDATED TO ATTEND. If
you cannot attend please contact me immediately after the date is released.
A divisional is currently in the planning process, and I will be sending out more
information regarding this soon.
Again. Please check your emails! Updates will be coming your way often!
e
What is the Leadership Training Conference?
After your elections in March every year, the newly
elected officers are asked to attend the upcoming
LTC in order to learn more about their jobs, the
paperwork it requires, along with having some fun
at the annual play fair and meeting a bunch of
new people!
What do you do there?
You get to attend multiple workshops each day,
and you get to chose which ones you go to on
which day! One year there was a talent show, and
there’s multiple team building exercises. I promise
you that you will leave LTC with at least ONE new
friend!
AND if you register as a Delegate you get to vote
for your District Governor along with other positions!
Overall, LTC is really a great action packed
weekend of fun!
Are you a Senior? Are you sad that your Key Club
experience is over? Well it doesn’t have to be!

Service Spotlights- FORT ANN HIGH SCHOOL KEY CLUB
“This month the Fort Ann Key Club focused on one of our biggest events of the year, an
even that we always end our school year with. This event is the American Cancer
Society's Relay for Life. This year, our club raised a total of over $500 for Relay for Life,
and went to the event with not only just our Key Club, but many members of our school.
At Relay, many people from all over New York come together to fight cancer. Every
year they pick a theme for the event as well as have festive games going on during it.
This year the theme was Carnival Style and had games like pin the nose on the clown,
balloon animal making, and a scavenger hunt. A few Key Clubbers hunted in the
scavenger hunt and won! They even lit up some hot air balloons to light up the night
sky. It was pretty exciting. In the end, the two Co-Presidents of our Key Club (Jonah
Gould and I) stayed up the full 12 hours. All of the other members fell asleep in tents or
in the camper that one of our school’s PTSO members donated.”

SERVICE SPOTLIGHTS: HADLEY-LUZERNE HIGH SCHOOL KEY CLUB!
“ This past month our Key Club wanted to help out a member of the community who
had been helping out our school for many, many years. Her name is Linda Waite. Linda
has MS, and is bound to a wheel chair. Because of this, she can no longer do much on
her own. She was an extremely active member of the community until it became too
hard for her and her husband to get her into the van. So we stepped up to help. The
students who went to Saga City made a lot of money off selling basket raffle tickets, so
we decided to give it a whirl. Each grade level, along with other clubs created a
basket and donated it to our Key Club for us to raffle off in order to raise money to help
Mrs. Waite get enough money for a lift for her van which was about $1,500. She had
already saved up $400, and we wanted to give back to her for serving so faithfully in
our community. After the drawings on May 4th, we invited Linda to the school to receive
a donation. When she was told that we raised $1,100 so she could get her ramp she
was so grateful and excited. We made a difference in our community just by giving
back to one person who helped us out for years, and you can too.”

Hey guys! So this is a little more personal excerpt about who I
am!
Hobbies: Soccer, Volleyball, Singing, Laughing, Dancing,
Swimming, spending time with friends.
Pet Peeves: People not responding to important messages, and
people with bad manners.
Favorite Animal: PANDAS! I love Pandas… They make me smile!
Pet Loves: Happy people, Soccer, Pandas (of course), Dancing,
Meeting new people, along with many other things that I can’t
think of at the moment.
What inspired you to join Key Club?
Well, all my life I’ve just wanted to make a difference,
somewhere, somehow, and Key Club gave me that
opportunity.
What school do you go to?
Hadley- Luzerne High School!
What was your favorite fundraiser this past Service Year?
Well, where I live everything’s pretty much in the same area,
and every year around Christmas time we go “Caroling with
Christalin for Christmas”. Christalin was a girl in my school who
passed away on December 27, 2010: about a week or so after
the first time we ever went caroling, and she loved it so much
we decided to continue it, and rename it “Caroling with
Christalin for Christmas” in her honor. Every year we donate the
funds to a specific charity, and this year my club voted to give
the money to a little girl named Kaitlin. Kaitlin struggles every
day with Late Infantile NCL, if you would like to know her story
just ask, and I have a special write up about it if you’d like to
read it. Kaitlin is my hero. She fights everyday for her life, but
never gives up. And I love that about her. So my Key Club
agreed to donate the funds to her. It hit me close to home, and
that is probably why it’s my favorite fundraiser.
