Hey Mighty Southwest ,
I am here to give you some updates on the district and more information about LSSP and ICON !
Our district board is doing great ! We ' ve having monthly meetings via Google + Hangout and recently , we created the budget for the year ! We ' ve allotted plenty of money for another great Fall Rally , in addition to travel money for our board members to visit you all at your schools ! I personally look forward to getting to know you all and serving with you guys !
Our board will also be traveling to Kamp Kiwanis , May 30 - June 2 , for our District Officer Training Conference ( DOTC ), in conjunction with the Key Club and Kiwanis boards ! It will be a great bonding experience ! In addition , I ' ve been talking with the Key Club governor , Jenalee Beazley , and the Kiwanis Governor-Elect , Windy Mortensen , and I ' m excited to say that there will be many more service opportunities , fundraising ideas , and K-family activities for you all ! However , all we can do is collaborate on ideas and promote K-family activities . It ' s up to you guys to make sure they happen !
Third on our district updates list is Club Leadership Education , or CLE . Typically , all of the boards within the district get together for formal training , as well as collaboration . But due to the Southwest ' s large geography , this has been difficult to in the past . Therefore , the Southwest will be having a CLE in Arizona AND New Mexico . We hope to establish set dates for the coming years as other districts do .
Be on the lookout for the information packet for everything you need to know about traveling to Vancouver this summer !
Check out what LSSP is all about with this video from last year ! ( You might even spot a few SWD CKI ’ ers !)
Last is LSSP and ICON . By now , I hope you ' ve seen our new profile and cover photo on our Facebook Page . Our On-To International Convention ( OTIC ) Chair and Immediate Past Governor , Omar Perez , has been working hard ! He ' ll be providing an information packet to you all including things to do in Vancouver and travel information . I hope to see you all there ! It will be a great experience traveling internationally and meeting CKIers , Kiwanians , and some Key Clubbers from AROUND THE WORLD !
Again , I look forward to meeting you all ! Please feel free to contact me at any time ! Actually , the first person to email me at " alee . cki @ gmail . com " with their first and last name , favorite Disney princess , and why , will get the first visit from me and the executive board . We ' ll bring pizza .
I look forward to at least one reply ! :) -Andrew
