Hi everyone hope your Easter went well and you
enjoyed your spring break! We're finally in the long
stretch to the end of the year and we're going to
make it great! As always please read the newsletter (at
least skim it!) so you can get an idea of what's going
on. Let's start this service year off with a bang!
Hi!
My names Lovina John and hopefully through my weekly
updates you've been getting you'll know I'm the new
Lieutenant Governor! If you can't tell I'm super excited to
start my new position! I know I have some pretty big shoes to
fill, but I hope to do everything I can to be the best LTG I can
be. My main goal is to help you and your Key Club grow into
the club YOU want it to be. Each one of you are individually
awesome and, by working together, I know division 13 can be
just as awesome. The journey has just begun and I can't wait
to meet each of you throughout the year. My contact
information is at the end so feel free to talk to me about
anything! Thank you so much for giving me this amazing
opportunity and I can't wait to see where division 13 will go!
So to begin, Hi! My name's Lovina John (just clarifying). I'm
currently a junior at Minisink Valley High School. LTC
concludes my two years service as Key Club president. Being
president was hands down one of the most fulfilling
opportunities I've experienced and it's definitely what makes
becoming LTG bitter sweet. I certainly will miss my position
in my own club as I go on to lead our division
My
As with any position of power, I plan to use my power as a
lieutenant governor to further better the clubs in our
division 13. Our past lieutenant governors have done an
amazing job pushing division 13 to where we are today, but I
would like to continue this growth by instilling the acronym
CAPE or Communication, Access, Projects, and Efficiency.
•increase communications within clubs and within our
division by organizing more inner club meetings and events.
•access to all the necessary materials on one easy website.
Using Past Lieutenant Governor Daniel's website, I plan on
using that to our advantage by posting any resources needed
including ice breakers, and project ideas.
•promote more fun projects that help many as the year
progresses.
With all the above measures being taken as well cooperation
throughout our division, division 13 can grow even more
into an amazing, efficient division.
What have Division 13
clubs been up to?
Middletown Key Club decided to help out a local day
care, House on the Hill located in Goshen, with their
annual Easter Egg Hunt by donating 500 eggs. House on
the Hill is a day care that devotes their time to the
children of migrant farm workers by providing early
childhood education and social services. At the event we
scattered the 500 eggs filled with different types of
candy. After the egg hunt the children took pictures
with an Easter bunny that we provided for the event. We
plan to continue helping out with this event.
–Jessica Vicente, Middletown Key Club Treasurer
What have Division 13
clubs been up to?
The Minisink Valley Kiwanis Club worked with the Minisink Key Club to hold a Hunger
Walk at Shannen Park. The walk collected goods for the Hudson Valley Food Pantry! It was a beautiful day for all Kiwanis, Aktion,
and Key Club members as well as other families. This walk raised over 1200 pounds of
food which was delivered to our local food pantries. The total money on hand at this
time is $1950 and will be sent out to the food bank. Congrats on an amazing event that will
help so many families!
Monticello and Fallsburg Schools also participated in the Hunger Walk by walking on the Rails to Trails in Mountaindale. The
newly founded Aktion club joined as well as Kiwanis members from the Callicoon
Club. This walk also raised money for the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley and the food
collected went to United Way of Sullivan County.
Congrats on an amazing
event to both clubs!
Upcoming Events! Wasil Ahmed will be holding a Color Run on May 21 at
Chester Academy. It would be great to see other Division
13-ers there!
"Hearts of Hope" will be a 5K Color Run hosted at
Chester Academy May 21st to raise money and awareness
for Colon Cancer. It's a cause I've been working on with
my club advisor Paige Rose and school Principal Denis
Petrilak since June. The reason it's about Colon Cancer is
rather personal, as my mom was diagnosed with Colon
Cancer back in November of 2013, and so to be able to do
the run and raise money and awareness is really a blessing!
I'm excited for it because we've been planning with six
other schools around Orange County to reach other
communities and get their towns involved. Since it's a
Color Run, it will be unique and unlike other walk/runs in
the area, and having the six other communities'
involvement only makes it more special. Between the other
schools and Chester, we hope to have a big turnout and
raise lots for the cause. It will be on the Heritage Trail,
starting and ending at Chester Academy, and at the end is
where the paint would be thrown at runners, like a
traditional Color Run. ”

District Projects!
The District Board had narrowed our District project down to three
organizations: Save A Child’s Heart, The American Foundation for Suicide
Prevention, and Icing Smiles. We had a survey sent out so YOU could decide what
would become our District Project for 2016-2017. The Project will be announced in Governor Garber’s first monthly video, which will be released May 1st on the
District Website!
Governor’s Project
For those of you who don't know, each year
the District Governor of the New York
District Key Club gets to chose a cause to
specifically advocate. This year District
Governor, Matt Garber, has chosen the
project called "Voices for the Blind" which is
all about empowering the blind and visually
impaired children by promoting education,
leadership, and confidence. We hope to do a
lot for this project so if you have any ideas
please send them in!
What can you do?
Fast Facts:1 baby dies every 9 MINUTES from tetanus.
160 BABIES die each day from tetanus.
MNT has been eliminated from more than 35 COUNTRIES since
2000.
A series of 3 DOSES of tetanus vaccine = immunity from tetanus
Woman + vaccine = protected baby
US$1.80 protects 1 woman and her future babies. (That’s less
than lunch!)
The Eliminate Project saves or protects 61 MILLION women
and their babies.
Celebrate Eliminate Week this week to help
eliminate MNT! 24 COUNTRIES still have MNT
and we can do something. Plan a whole spirit week
or collect money at your next meeting, but definitely
try and do something got this amazing organization!

LTC!
“This was my third year attending LTC
and I swear it gets better every time. It
was a great weekend where I not only
learned so much but met so many people
who all share the same passion of helping
others. This LTC was especially special
to me because I was inducted as your
Lieutenant Governor, which was an
incredible honor for me!” – Lovina John
The New York District Key Club’s Leadership Training Conference
brings together the divisions within the New York district. Our
division, division 13, joined 23 other divisions up in Albany for a
weekend of fun and learning. 2016 LTC was held March 18th-20th t
the Desmond Hotel in Albany. It was a great weekend from
informative workshops to meeting so many people from all around
New York! We hope to see you there next year!
The Leadership Training Conference is one of my favorite times of the
year. I always look forward to meeting new people, seeing old Key
Club friends, and the fun workshops. This year, our Keynote speaker
Tom Krieglstein gave everyone “Free Hugs” signs and challenged us to
get as many hugs as possible throughout the conference. I took that
sign and walked around the entire conference center, with a few
friends, giving hugs to anyone I saw. This was perhaps my favorite
part of LTC 2016 because I made a lot of friends and took advantage
of Tom’s challenge. LTC is the best way to see how big Key Club
really is and the impact it has all over the world. - Andrew Connor,
Junior at Tamarac High School Division 18
