Hello Division 80 Key Clubbers!
My name is Megan Hearn and I will be your
Lieutenant Governor for the 2013-2014 year. Being
pretty much a no one in Boardman to being your
Lt. G has been a big change in my life, a big
change for the better! I am so thankful for this op-
portunity to serve such an amazing group of peo-
ple . This year is the year I’ll bring back leadership
into our division.
.I have many goals that I’d like to meet this
year , I cant achieve these goals without your
help. We need to strengthen our communications
and repair mistakes made last year. Together we
can accomplish anything . My other focus is get-
ting back to the roots of Key Club ; service. It feels
as though Key Club has become more about poli-
tics and less about serving people . I will change
this through divisional projects ; this will help con-
nect our clubs while helping people . I can’t wait
to meet each and everyone of you and make
2013-2014 the best year to be in Division 80!
You can say that I’m not a normal Lt. G but
that’s okay! We share a passion to serve and our
diverse ways of showing that is what will bring our
clubs together. Key Club is a family, and I hope by
the end of my term I can help all of you see that

DCON 2013
There is no way to describe such energy and
inspiration you feel at DCON , but I can try.
For those of you who don’t know what DCON
is , it is a Key Club district convention where every
division in the district gathers and celebrates the
Key Club year, and elect a new district board. This
years Pacific Northwest DCON was in the beautiful
city of Seattle at the Double Tree Hotel. At DCON
you get to show your divisional spirit, listen to amaz-
ing speakers, go to a banquet and dance, and my
favorite part : network with the other hundreds of
PNW key clubbers!
This DCON was very spirited and kicked off
with a motivational speech from Brett Eastburn, a
man with no legs and no arms but he also has no
handicaps. In high school he was a basketball play-
er, a football player, a wrestler, and a swimmer! The
weekend followed with amazing workshops from
Yoga to How to run for a higher office. I would also
say that the dance was a major success , just about
everyone was dancing! The 2013 DCON was amaz-
ing and with the District Board this year I think 2014
DCON will be the best yet. I hope to see all of you
there.

This is going to be an amazing year! I’m excited to meet all of you , be
patient with me if I forget your name or can’t answer your questions; I’m just
beginning to learn the In’s and Out’s of working on District Level , but I will al-
ways help out anyway I can on our divisional level and even club level. This
first month may go a little hazily , but we’ll get the hang of it. Don’t hesitate to
ask me questions or ask me for help that’s one of the many reasons I’m here!
This month I’m looking to accomplish our first DCM , get all of your contact in-
formation, contact our inactive clubs and make my first club visit! April is just
the month to really take all the enthusiasm from DCON and use it to kick off
the Key Club year so get excited!!
