Governor's Project

This year, the Texas-Oklahoma District Governor's Project will be helping local humane societies and local ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) chapters.  These local safe havens for animals are always in need of supplies to fulfill the influx of animals that go through their doors every year. I want it to be division’s 9E Goal this year for every club to do the governor’s project to some extent!

Each shelter will have various specific needs, but general supplies are always needed.  Raise funds so you can purchase cat and dog food (includes kitten and puppy food too), pet toys, collars, and flea collars.  Then donate these badly needed supplies to your local Humane Society or ASPCA Chapter.  Since the needs of each shelter vary, contact your area shelter to see what is in short supply.

             After your club has delivered the supplies to your local animal shelter or ASPCA chapter, you must then make a presentation (speech, skit, song, game, etc.) to one local elementary, K-Kids, or day care on proper care maintenance for household pets.  Essentials in the presentation require proper feeding, exercise, current vaccines, and hygiene (baths, flea and tick protection, etc.).  Many children beg their parents for pets and do not realize the responsibility it entails.

My name is Whitney Foust, and I am your new Division 9E Lt. Governor. I was appointed because of Katie’s move up to governor. I  was at the time of  the appointment my club secretary. I am a junior this year and in my third year of Key Club. I’m very involved in my community, and love volunteering,  my other service clubs include: National Charity League, Student Council, NHS, and Jr. Cotillion. I also participate in the theatre company at my school. I’m very excited about being your new   lt. Governor and I hope to live up to your expectations.
