Division 9
(Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits
pointed out that anyone of his rank, past or present, may be
counted to fulfill the minimum for an interclub. So the Key Club
gets their props.) He was proud to announce that at the April
Key Club Convention in Springfield, his son, Andrew Georgevits,
was elected Lt. Gov. of Div. 9 & 10. So they will have overlapping
terms until October. A one-day Membership Summit will be held
on June 15. Each club may send three delegates, RSVP by May 16.
We should take advantage of this event as this is a service made
possible by our dues money. Lt. Gov. Ken will not be able to
attend our Diamond Anniversary as he will be performing military
duty. He plans on attending our Boards meetings for his yearly
evaluation of our club. We are reminded that the next District
Convention will be in Danvers, Mass., August next.
You're in good hands...with Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits.

and Randy Eifert; Treasurer--Chet Cilley; 2nd Vice President--Nate
Robertson; 1st Vice President--John Grocki; and President--Larry
Murphy. Congratulations to all and good luck. Dir. Joe Adrignola
