By Lieutenant Governor Matthew GendreauTRANSCRIPT
Hey everyone!
I hope everyone has been
planning for the school year.
Things might get hectic as
we settle in, so please be
prepared to start holding
meetings and service pro-

ways, if you need any help
or advice, you can contact
me. I’m greatly looking for-
ward to seeing your clubs
grow and serve over this
coming year. Please stay vig-
ilant with your work both in
school and for Key Club, and
I wish you good luck with
your new classes!

Lieutenant Governor’s Message
Our next Division Council
Meeting will most likely take
place around the second
week of September! I’d like
to give you time to get some
work done with your clubs,
so if you need any help,
please let me know. Con-
tact me if you have any
questions!
Do not forget to send monthly reports!
These are one of the most important
things your club can do for me. Even if
your club hasn’t done much yet, it’s better
to leave it blank than to not send it at all!
Make sure to send in your club’s contact
information! If you are a president, I’ll
also be needing your phone number so I
can arrange a phone call later this month.

Updates + Information
Contact Information
Please send me the contact infor-
mation for all of your club’s mem-
bers! This was due a long time ago,
and many clubs are still very late.
This is all extremely important, as I
need this information to be able to
include your club in division/district
operations and update you on the
state of the division. Forms can be
found on the division website.
District Committees
Capital District now has openings
for club members in District Com-
mittees. If you are interested in pos-
sibly joining one, please contact me.
Feel free to email me with any ques-
tions about the duties of committee
members.
Division Mascot Recruitment
Divisions in the Capital District are
officially allowed to have mascots. If
you have any ideas for what Divi-
sion 13’s mascot should be, please
send them to me. Division mas-
cots can be absolutely anything.
We can possibly use our mascot
to represent the Division on t-
shirts or at DCON. We will vote
on a mascot at a later date.
Please get ready to start recruiting
new members when school starts.
You can try holding a large social
gathering or other sort of event to
entice newcomers to join your
club. It’s also helpful to set goals
for your club, and work together
with your officers to reach these
goals. I’ll always be available if you
need help, and you can consult this
page for more ideas: http://

port UNICEF and the Eliminate
Project. You and your club can

similar events. You can find more

Upcoming Events
FALL RALLY October 3-5 2014 October 18 2014
There will be another Key Leader week-
end this fall at the West River Center in
Churchton, Maryland! I attended the last
one in Williamsburg, and I am planning on
attending this one too! Key Leader is a tru-
ly life-changing experience where you
can meet Key Clubbers from across the
district and learn about how you can bet-
ter yourself and become a better leader.
While I was there, I had an incredible
amount of fun and made tons of new
friends. I highly recommend that you con-
sider signing up, and I hope to see you in
Maryland! You can register and pay
online on the Key Leader website.
Come join the District for an exciting day
at King’s Dominion! We’ll be arriving early
to help set up for a quick program, and
then you’re off to explore and have fun
with your fellow Key Club members! This is
a great opportunity to bring friends who
are not sure about joining Key Club and
convince them to join the Capital District
family! The cost of this trip will be $35 for
anyone who registers with the district.
