A Message from your

Lieutenant Governor

Hi Division 1B!

I hope your summer has been

splendiferous and that the next

two weeks will be a great

opening to a year of service

and school. Over the summer I

have attended International

Convention in Washington DC,

the 4H fair held by our division

and a board meeting with our

district board. As the school year approaches get

ready for tons of deadlines from teachers and Key

Club. I will be holding a few Officer Training Confer-

ences as well as Divisional Council Meetings over the

next few months so make your best efforts to attend.

Fall Rally and Fall Regional Training Conferences are

approaching quickly and I can’t wait to see everyone

exploring the parks and learning about service.

Yours in Caring and Service,

Cynthia Thurairajah

International Convention Day 1

After a bus ride full of cheering and selfies we ended up in

Washington DC. Our first stop was the Newseum. After a

break for dinner we attended a National’s Baseball Game.

International Convention

Day 2

Day two started off with a visit to the Arlington National Cem-

etery which had a very interesting “changing of the guards”

session where different districts placed wreaths by the tomb

of the unknown solider. We then packaged food with the

“Kids Against Hunger”. Finally that night we did a tiring, but

beautiful monument tour.

Day 3

We started the day with a tour of Ford’s Theater, and a Capi-

tol tour. After a really cool trip to the spy museum we did a

meet and greet with other districts at the hotel

Day 4

After a Key Club filled day of opening session and caucusing

with all the candidates for international positions we got to

take the night off and watch the Fourth of July fireworks by the

steps of the Lincoln monument

8

Days 5, 6, & 7

The last few days of ICON were filled with elections and

workshops as well as a trip to the Holocaust Museum.

This year is the first year I have ever been to, or partici-

pated in the 4-H Fair, and it was great! The 4-H fair is a

family- fun event, where you can see animals and cel-

ebrate summer, all while helping a good cause. Volun-

teering at the 4-H Fair was a blast; it was fun working

with other students from other schools and clubs to

help support 4-H. I met great new people, and came

together with some friends I haven’t seen in a while;

and I believe that is what the 4-h fair is meant to do, it

is meant to bring people together for a great time.

Therefore, I will be coming back next year, and the

many years to follow, because the memories that are

made there are priceless and I want to continue being

apart of them!
