March Madness is soon over, but it still continues for the next couple of months. I hope that all of you have remained active within your club, but have also kept with school business. For you AP students, you know how crucial these next couple of months are going to be. Just keep swimming, though, when things seem tough. Always remember to take breaks from any kind of work, also! It's good to work hard but to reward ourselves for that.

Here's the last newsletter for the 2011-12 year. For that reason, there are some new announcements in this issue. You will be able to review the results at Conclave and get a word on the beginning of the upcoming year. District Convention is coming up in just a couple of weeks, and after that will be our Kiwanis One Day. Be sure to participate at the park clean-up at The Cross with the other Kiwanis Family members! A wedding will be held after, so let's make sure the park is looking beautiful for it.

Recognition has also been a usual at each DCM, but there has been a new twist. Each club has received individual awards for their own achievements. This is a way to let each club know that they have been rec-ognized for a certain growth. No club left behind. Don't forget: no member left behind either! Join our Facebook or division reflector group for updates throughout the year.

It's bittersweet to think that the year is ending so soon, but I definitely had a great time with all of you. No matter what hard times we faced, we kept swimming didn't we? I'll continue swimming with all of you in my senior year.

2011-2012 Lieutenant Governor

With 6 schools present at our Conclave, a quorum was available for the event to take place after our February DCM. The attendees were given a program for the day which included a master agenda, the DCM agenda, and the Conclave details (agenda, rules, sample questions). After our Lieutenant Governor, Linda, explained the process, the floor was open to the candidate. Lina Partida, who ran unopposed, stepped in front of everyone. She gave her speech in 3-5 minutes and answered any caucus questions for another 5 minutes. Following the caucus session was the voting by the delegates who received the candidate's literature at the sign-in table. Ballots were counted by Linda and our Region Advisor, Mr. Van Etten.

"Division 42 West's 2012-2013 Lieutenant Governor Elect is ... drum roll please ..

LINA PARTIDA!"

Please give her a congratulations and warm welcome as your Lt. Governor for the upcoming year. Her term will begin on the DCON weekend of April 13-15, 2012. From then on she will serve the

division until the next DCON is March of 2013. Let's wish her good luck on this journey!

All club elections should have taken place in the past two months.

Officer elects need enough time before DCON arrives to be properly trained for their term, so they may lead the club well.

To the officers retiring in April: thank you for your hard work and dedication this year.

I’ve enjoyed working with each of you this year and visiting your clubs. Although some of you have been through some rollercoaster rides, your clubs have improved immensely. I hope that you can take everything you’ve learned throughout the year to effectively train your newly elect-ed officers. You’ve built your clubs to new levels this year. Make sure to continue the growth!

To the officer elects being installed in April: Congratulations on your elections. You are

definitely in for a journey in your upcoming year with the duties you will be responsible for. However, keep in mind that you are not alone. You have your board of members and advisors right by your side to work with you. I hope you can utilize everything around you to better serve your members and continue on the path to a stronger club. Never hesitate to ask questions and mostly important to just be yourself.

To the members: please give a warm goodbye and welcome to the officers. They have tak-

en on a huge responsibility, and support is one of the greatest things anyone could provide. Yourselves as members have also had the responsibility to meet the membership requirements. Support should be a mutual action. I hope you can all continue attending DCMs from now, throughout the summer, and so on.

Our elect, Lina Partida, will be taking over as Lt. Governor for the year. Please don’t hes-

itate to ask her any questions! As a junior, I will also be here for another year. I hope to remain friends with all of you and meet new faces.
