THE EMPIRE KEY
FOLLOW US @NYDKC
This is your Governor, Noah Rozin, and all I can say is that I am so excited for this service year! As we’re getting started, I think it’s really important to remember that we’re part of a much larger community — over 230,000 Key Clubbers across more than 40 countries. Realizing that is what motivates us to push forward and contribute to this organization, because our work impacts lives far beyond just our clubs, divisions, or even our district. That’s the beauty of Key Club, and it’s why I’m truly honored to serve as your Governor.
This year, I’ve selected One Tree Planted as our Governor’s Project. It’s a cause I’m genuinely passionate about, especially as climate change continues to affect our world — including our home state of New York. Planting trees is one of the most tangible and effective ways we, as students, can help combat this growing issue. For every $1 donated, One Tree Planted plants a tree — and since 2014, they’ve planted over 100 million trees in more than 80 countries. I’m all in on making sure our district plays a role in that impact.
We’ve also set our District goals for the year: $225,000 raised and 220,000 service hours completed. Let’s make it our mission not just to meet those numbers, but to go above and beyond — together.
Keep up the amazing work, New York, and let’s take every opportunity we can to lead, servce, and make this year one to remember!
