Representatives from Key Clubs at the Belleville West High School and the Governor French Academy attended the 68th Annual I-I District Key Club Convention & Leadership Conference on March 9-11, 2018. They were joined by Faculty Advisor Jennifer Stauffer along with Officers and members of the Belleville Kiwanis Club, Patti Thomas, President, Al Thomas, Treasurer, Gary Heath, and Susan Grimmer.
This was an action-packed weekend filled with speeches from leaders throughout the USA, training sessions, caucus and council meetings, as well as District orders of business. Even when the attendees were having fun they were working by spending time networking and getting to meet new people who may one day become partners on service projects.
“It is a wonder to see the young and talented leaders of tomorrow embrace the challenges before them with strong character,” said Gary Heath, former District Governor for the Illinois and Eastern Iowa District. “I am most impressed at how they handle challenges with the highest degree of professionalism. Our future is in good hands.” added Al Thomas, Treasurer of the Belleville Kiwanis Club.
The incumbent Lt. Governors for Divisions 31-34, Miss Sydney Stauffer and Miss Kim Haguewood passed the mantle to their successor Miss Grace Roerick. Sydney plans to continue her work with the Key Club further expanding her leadership talents. We wish her good fortune.
