Key Leader 2013!
Letter from the LG

Hey Division 4!
Yet again, we’ve had a wonderful month and
I’m very proud of the effort and awesomeness
being shown by Division 4 Key Clubbers! Seri-
ously, I was blown away after learning about
what has been happening at the clubs and
what is planned for the upcoming months. All I
got in terms of advice right now is - KEY-P up
the amazing work.
More news about Mid-Winter Rally, LG elec-
tions and DCON will be coming out soon, so
keep your eyes and ears open during club
meetings and check the social media realm. (I
update the various club Facebook groups of-
ten….sometimes with useful information).

AWESOME WORK!
I hope school, Key Club, and life goes well for all the Division 4 members out there in the
final weeks before holiday break. During holiday break, I suggest we all take it easy, drink
some tea, eat a cookie, and mentally prep for the oncoming dread of exams.
Take care and talk to you later!
Yours in service,

Reflection on Key Leader
8
On the weekend of November 1 to 3, students from the division attended the
Key Club leadership conference called Key Leaders. Located in Circle Square Ranch in
Brantford, we faced many challenges, but also at the same time, made many new
friends from key club members across the region. It was a fun and enlightening experi-
ence.
As a leadership camp, Key Leaders’ aim was to train students with better leader-
ship skills. However, these are not the traditional sense of leadership with one figure
giving orders. Instead, Key Leaders taught us to become leaders by example, for us to
serve others in order to remind them of the importance to give back to the communi-
ty.
Of course, we didn’t just sit in a classroom all day. Over the course of the 2 days
and 2 nights, we bonded closer with our fellow key club members from other regions.
Through participation in interactive problem solving activities both indoors and out-
doors, we got to meet other students who are just like us, Key Clubbers who enjoy
helping others.
“It was fun, and overall I enjoyed myself. I loved having the chance
to meet up with some old friends, since during the year I don't have
many opportunities to do so.” –Katherine Gall, Lieutenant Governor
of Division 4
"Key Leaders were a great opportunity to meet other key clubbers
from across the region. It was a fantastic experience"- William
Zhang, WOSS Treasurer
Whether you were a student participant, or a facilitator, overall, Key Leaders
was a very enriching experience for everyone that attended. For Grade 9-11, next year,
be sure not to miss out on this great opportunity!
