A word from Alli

Farewell my Yeti’s.

I would like to start off my telling you that I love you all and because of YOU I have had the most fabulous year imagina-ble. From Officer Training Conference, Division Council Meetings, Region 6 Training Conference, Fall Rally North, Officer Bonding Day, Conclave, and everything in between, it has been all of you yeti’s that has kept the smile on my face, the laugh in my soul, and the love in my heart. I cannot begin to thank you for that. Over the past year, this division has been my life, my inspiration, and my love. I have made new friends and memories.

BEEcause of you, this newsletter has gone from a four pages to a twenty-two plus pages long. BEElieve it or not, as I am watching a movie writing my last Letter from the Editor and creating this newsletters, I am reminiscing on all of the good, and bad of this stressful and disastrous year, I cannot help but think that of all of the accomplishments I have made as a Presi-dent and Tech Editor. Most of all I cannot help but think of how much I am going to hate not being Lowry’s President or Division 23’s Tech Editor anymore. However, everything good thing must end; I’ve finally ran into the end of the road and am faced with several different, new roads to take.

A close, short, friend of mine, Mary Castaneda is almost like a mini-me when it comes to Key Club. She joined our family

her junior year, stepped up to take a HUGE leadership responsi-bility, fell head over heels in love with this division and family, will be President of Lowry’s Club her senior year, and most im-portantly will be the 2012-2013 Newsletter Editor. Honestly, I do not believe anyone is more suited for these jobs than her. As much as I give her a hard time about it and quite frankly do not want to give up my positions, she will take this division, along with McXine, to new heights. I love Mary to death, will always pick on her, will always support her, and help her out when need-ed. If you do not know Mary, please do so. She is an amazing person who is worth getting to know.

Once again, thank you for EVERYTHING my fellow yeti’s. We all have done an outstanding job this past year, especially Alyssa Yocom for bringing our division back together. Have a great life yeti’s!! Goodbye.

Alli Lampshire Lowry High School Key Club President

Division 23 Tech Editor

Memo from The LtG

Hello Division 23!!

Since this is the last newsletter for the 2011-12 Key Club term, I

would just like to take the time to thank all of you for making this year so magical for me. I have grown as a leader and as a person thanks to each of you. And your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

You have surpassed all records in Membership and in PTP dona-tions this year! Our attendance has grown and overall, we have

become a very strong division. In the future I can only see growth! For the seniors, thank you for making this year so won-derful. And to everyone else: let’s continue growing and learning

together because we can still reach fantastic heights.

Throughout this year, as your Lieutenant Governor, I have had the opportunity to work with each club, and officer very closely. Although I may not have met all 297 members individually, you

aren’t just a number… you are a member of a family. Division 23 has meant the world to me and my love for Key Club just contin-

ues to grow. I can’t wait to go out and serve more and meet more people just like you! Next year, we have a lot in store so I en-

courage each of you to stay involved. With that said, I hope that I can see you all at the

Region 6 Banquet on March 31st. There, I will be giving my fare-well to the Division as your Lieutenant Governor and together, we

will all experience bonding activities and amazing awards. This night will be YOUR night! YOU are the members that helped this Division do such amazing things! We deserve this celebration. I

can’t wait to see you all there!

Love,

Alyssa

Greetings my fellow Key Clubbers….wait no let me

correct myself. Hello my wonderful family!!! I would just like

to start off by saying that I LOVE D23 and all its’ members.

Starting April 15th I will be your new division tech editor! I am so excited that I will be able to serve you all and work with you. I want to do the absolute best job I can; to do that I would love to get your feedback, input, comments, sug-gestions and concerns. I hope that I can create an amazing newsletter for all of you lovely people. And I hope this amaz-ing opportunity will give me the chance meet all of you!

I thought that since I want to get to know you all, that you should get to know me as well. So to start it off I’m Mary, anything but

ordinary, I am 17 years young, Junior, Hispanic, short( as the current tech editor loves to point out), and I am nothing you would

ever expect! I live in a small town about two and a half hours away from Reno. Most of you have probably never heard of it but

that is beside the point, I attend Albert Lowry High school and am the current Bulletin Editor for my home club and am also the

Junior Class Secretary/Treasurer. My four greatest loves, family, friends, and GIRAFFES, all of which can be found in my fourth

love, Key Club! If you couldn’t tell giraffes are my favorite animal, “when I grow up I want to be a giraffe”. I will be a senior this

coming fall and plan on making it the best it can be by having all the fun I can! And I know that Key Club will make it all that much better.

I have some pretty big shoes to fill, and I can only hope I will be able to create amazing newsletter like that of Alli Lamp-

shire’s. I am not only taking her place as division tech editor but I am also President-Elect for Lowry High’s Key Club, so I will also

be taking over for her there as well. I couldn’t do this with out the support of Alli, our LtG and our LtG Elect. That is why I

would like to take the opportunity to say a really big thanks to McXine Salva, our LtG Elect for granting me the amazing oppor-

tunity to be your Tech Editor. Thank you so much McXine, getting to know you has been amazing and I hope to create an amaz-

ing newsletter with you! I would also like to thank each and every one of YOU. All of you amazing wonderful Key Clubbers make

all this possible, because without you….well I don’t even want to go there because that is one scary thought!

If any of you have any questions, comments, concerns or would just like to get to know me better you can reach me by

email: [email protected] or by phone, call/text: 775-682-0448.

With love and care

Mary Castaneda

Albert Lowry’s 2012-2013 Officers

You hear almost everybody talk about

the magic of service, but it is not always

magical to YOU. Raising funds for the Po-

lar Plunge and actually taking the plunge

was truly MAGICAL. Seeing all of the

Special Olympic Athletes faces with their

magical smiles, definitely made the toe

numbing snow, the body stinging lake

water, and the twelve hour bus rides well

worth it. To me, that is the TRUE defini-

tion of MAGICAL SERVICE.

superlatives. awards. celebration..

At the Region 6 banquet, all attendees must wear business professional attire. This is to show our dedication to Key Club, to practice for District Convention, and to show our pro-

fessionalism for when we get into the “real world.”

The picture to the left is an example of casual wear. This is not acceptable at the Ban-quet or on Saturday or Sunday of District Convention. Remember that you want to be professional. No jeans or sneakers!

The picture to the right is an example of business casual. This type of attire is appropriate for casual job interviews, meetings, or just to make a positive impression. However, it does not show the professionalism that we have as student leaders.

The picture to the left is a perfect example of Business Professional attire. For

boys, slacks, black socks, nice shoes, a button up shirt, and a tie are necessary for

this outfit. For girls, dress shoes, slacks or a skirt of appropriate length, and a

nice shirt and jacket will complete this look. Imagine that you are going to go

play in an orchestra concert or go to dinner at a fancy restaurant… this is the

look you want! It shows that you are prepared, professional, and eager to be

wherever you are.

Please dress in your business professional attire at the Re-gion 6 Banquet!
