DKC + LTG Read this...to find out what they mean!!

DKC = Distinguished Key Clubber
It is an award given to Key Clubbers who have been hardworking during the past school year. It's a really easy award to win. There is NOT a limited number of winners. All you have to do is fill out an application, and as long as you meet the requirements, you get the award. It's something snazzy to put on your college app since Key Club is an INTERNATIONAL organization with a college level, called Circle K, and an adult level called Kiwanis.

If you're interested in the award, email us back at stuykc@yahoo.com with your name, ID, and phone number since we're going to have write you a rec for your application. Also, we'll give you more information about the requirements, how to fill out the applications, etc. The requirements are NOT difficult. So, don't worry about it. Hope lots of you guys apply because you deserve recognition for your hard work.

LTG = Lieutenant Governor
Key Club NY District is divided into 26 divisions. We're in division 11. Our Lieutenant Governor is Gwyn Lange. Every month the LTG holds a divisional where members from each club gather every month and each cabinet reports on their club's progress. The LTG is responsible for informing about big projects that we should work on, events that we can cooperate on, and events all clubs are holding. The LTG also acts as a liaison between the clubs and the district governor, who by the way is Karen DeMaria. The LTG is responsible for making sure all the schools submit their paperwork on time (not that much paperwork either).

So, as an LTG, you have to be able to talk to a large group (you have to make speeches to win to the election) and be organized. It is a commitment since sometimes you have to miss school to go to big board meetings and you HAVE to attend District Convention, which this year is in Ellenville, NY from March 28-30 (we'll let you know more about that later on). Also, you'll need your parents' support since they'll probably have to drive you there and they'll have to be okay with letting you miss school.

This sounds big, but don't be scared by it. It's a great way to contribute to Key Club on a higher level and to be more involved. If you're interested, even a little bit, email us at stuykc@yahoo.com with your name, ID, phone #, and email address. We'll give you the contact information for our current LTG so you can get a better idea of what the job consists of. Hopefully, some of you guys will be interested.

sorry, that was so majorly long. we love you guys! you're awesome members.
<3,
your cabbie
