Now I know that not many clubs have been active over the summer but do not fret because the school year is in full swing and so is the Key Club year However I have been working all summer to try and make this upcoming year a success (with your help) In June I attended an Officer Training Session at William Cullen Bryant High School in Queens NY for Divisions 8 amp 8A and it was fun All the members asked about our Division and what your clubs were like A week later I was off to International Convention (see previous issue) in Orlando Florida where 1700 Key Clubbers from around the world came together to celebrate the outgoing Service Year It was a blast to be there Truly an experience I will never forget it was much like an LTC but on a smaller scale Let me know if you and your club did any projects or fundraisers over the summer let me know I would love to hear In addition I worked this summer for Webster Parks and Recreation at their Wrap Around Summer Camp for kids in grades K-7
