!! Hey Dinos! My name is Karina Gonzalez, and I will be serving as your 2014-2015 lieutenant governor! I am a junior attending Downey High School and I love to go to the beach, play volleyball, and, most of all, serve with KIWIN’S. I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you! I would like to start of the year by saying that I am incredibly excited to be a part of such an amazing Ohana, and I’m sure that we will continue to serve with a passion, have tons of adventures, and most of all dominate! <3 Please enjoy my first newsletter! Keep calm Diamond! Summer is almost here!

With Love,

Karina Gonzalez

A Message from your Lieutenant Governor

!!Hello my Diamond Ohana! Now that the year has come to a close, it is now time for me to do something I've been dreading since the beginning of my term, and that is to say farewell to you all. First off, I would like to make it clear that this year would have not been possible if it weren't for all the outstanding advisors, presidents, and board members I've had the honor to work with. To my Diamond Mama and Papa, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, thank you for always being there when I needed you and thank you for putting up with me during all those long car rides to board meetings. To all of my seven awesome Presidents, I know I never say but I

love you guy so much. Your dedication and passion to this wonderful Ohana inspired me throughout my term and has kept me going even through the toughest times. To my Divisional Board, thank you for always putting up with me constant emails, text messages, phone calls, you guys are without a doubt the most reliable board I have ever and will ever work with. To my two amazing "go-to" advisors, Mr. Gaytan and Mrs. Bayer, there are no words to express my gratitude to you both. Honesty I would not be here without you two, it has been such a blessing to have you to as my advisors this year. I don't want to get too emotional right now but I love you guy! And lastly, to my wonderful Diamond Dinos, I can say with absolute confidence that we are the greatest Division in the history and future of KIWIN'S International! Your genuine spirit and dedication for service reminds me everyday why I fell in love with KIWIN'S in the first place. It has been such an honor to serve along side you all! Although this isn't my official goodbye but I would just like to say thank you so much for inspiring me to be a better person. With that said I love you all and I'll see you all at banquet! ! Love, ! Jacob Batucal

Farewell from Jacob
