back to the states. July is such an im- portant month for us, so important that I could not pass the opportunity to cele- brate our 238 th birthday. What better place to celebrate than the United States Virgin Islands. I hope you enjoy your time here, in a blank of an eye August as well as the new school year will be among us. My goal for this month is to prepare the clubs in our division for the new school year. There are clubs that need to be contacted, expanded, and built. This task will not be as difficult as it may seem, with the support of division 4C anything is possible. Lately Ive found myself puzzled by the word change. As a leader this one word is my ultimate goal. Not only is change a goal but it can also be a fear. As a leader I believe that to not have made a differ- ence means to not have lead at all. This motivates me every day, by the end of this year I wish to evolve not only as leader but as division. Through hard work, dedi- cation, and motivation this will come to pass.

This year marks the 71 annual Key Club International Convention. Im very privi- leged to be attending this year in Ana- heim, California. All this would not be possible without the support of my Divi- sion. I would like to personally thank the Kiwanis Club of West Jefferson for their Contribution. I would also like to thank Helen Cox, their hard work and support not only helped me get to ICON but it showed me how much they truly believe in me. The Unites States Virgin Islands (USVI) has been a shopping des- tination since 1607. The three main Island of the USVI they are St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas.
The three main island have special nick names; Twin City (St. Croix), Love City (St. John), and Rock City (St. Thomas)
The USVI is the only loca- tion in the U.S where you can drive on the left side if the road. Im more then happy to re- port that maternal and neo- natal tetanus has been elimi- nated once again!
