Hello everyone!
School’s finally started! I
hope you’re all as excited
for a new year of service as I
am. I’m confident that your
clubs can come back
stronger than last year and
ready to raise money for
Eliminate and other charities.
Club growth is also very im-
portant, so I hope you have
been focusing on attracting
new members. I’m very
much looking forward to
what you all are capable of,
and I couldn’t have asked
for a better year to start with
my division. Finally, it goes
without saying that you can
talk to me if you need help
with anything.

Lieutenant Governor’s Message
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.
Thanks to those who came
to the Division Council Meet-
ing on the 14th! While we
may have had a much
smaller group than the May
DCM, I’m very glad I was
able to meet and share in-
formation with some of you.
Look forward to another one
the first weekend of Novem-
ber! Expect a full report of
Sunday’s DCM soon.

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.
Division Mascot
We have decided on a Division
Mascot for D13! Our mascot will be
a “Mockingcrab” (they described it
as a Mockingjay from the Hunger
Games combined with the Capital
Crab). Look forward to division t-
shirts featuring this mascot soon!
Youth Opportunities Fund KOTIO
Governor Anastasia’s project for
this year of service is called KO-
TIO, which stands for Key Club
Outreach To Include Others. Her
goal is to extend help to disabled
individuals by participating in ser-
vice projects for different organiza-
tions such as Aktion Club, KEEN,
Best Buddies, Easter Seals, and
Miracle League. Your club can par-
ticipate by partaking in any sort of
event that benefits individuals liv-
ing with disabilities.
Patriot PAWS
Have any good ideas for a service
project, but lack the money? Have
you or your club apply for the
Youth Opportunities Fund, where
you can be granted from $100-
$2000 for your project. Keep in
mind your club will have to foot the
bill and be reimbursed later, alt-
hough the International Board is
planning to discuss an option to be
paid up front. Apply HERE, or
watch Trustees Gary Cheng and
Shane Meyers’ webinar on the topic
HERE.
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF
At the recent DCM, we had a won-
derful speaker give a presentation
on a charity organization called Pa-
triot PAWS. I would like to hold a
breakfast early next year as a divi-
sion project to benefit this charity,
and I also want to challenge you all
to hold at least fundraiser for this
organization as well. Please learn
more at patriotpaws.org. Also be
sure to contact me if you want any
informational materials.
With Halloween approaching very
quickly, consider doing a related
service project to help support
UNICEF and the Eliminate Pro-
ject. You and your club can collect
money door-to-door, hold a
themed dance or party, or other
similar events. You can find more
information here: http://goo.gl/

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.
