Hey Division 30! .

It’s November and hopefully Key Club Week was a success! .

My term as your Lieutenant Governor is slowly coming to an end and I’m looking for someone to take over for 2012–2013.

There’s more information in the newsletter. .

All of you are doing a really great job and hopefully you’re clubs are successfully growing! But now that you’ve recruited

members, you just need to keep them involved with fun service projects and events!

. DUES. The Early Bird deadline has passed. Now it’s just time

to keep the online roster up-to-date and turn in dues if you haven’t already!

.. The November DCM will be on November 22nd. I would really appreciate it if all officers came and we’ll be doing a

service project, too! If you could bring $5 ($2 to cover material costs

and $3 for KCCP), that would be wonderful. I’ll be sending out an agenda soon.

. Communication is something that is very important. So check

your email and phone for updates! .

Hope to see you all at the November DCM!!

In Caring Service,

Grace Chon Division 30 Lieutenant Governor

Kiwanis Children’s Cancer

Inspiration: In 1964 PNW Governor Frank Morehouse had the opportunity to work as a Medical

Technologist at Rogue Valley Medical Center, Medford Oregon, where he met Penny, a

10 year old brain cancer patient. His relationship with Penny and her fatal condition is the

inspiration for this PNW District Program.

Governor Frank is dedicating his Governor’s Program to the memory of Penny to help change

the future for children suffering from cancer, especially brain cancer.

Goal: Support the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program at Doernbecher Children’s

Hospital, Portland, Oregon.

Mike Davis, President KDCCP, [email protected]

Support the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Fellowship Program at Seattle Children’s Hospital,

Seattle Washington.

Mike La Franchi, President KCCPNW, [email protected]

Support the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Fellowship Program at British Columbia Children’s

Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia.

Darlene Smith, President KCCPBCY, [email protected] "Fifty years ago, most children with leukemia lived less than one year, and almost none

survived. Now, thanks to advances made at research and teaching hospitals like

Doernbecher, most children with leukemia reach adulthood, cured of their disease." Dr. Linda Stork, MD., Division Head, Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital

Participation: Tour the Children’s Cancer Research Hospital in your area.

• Sponsor a fundraiser for the Research Program – Walks, Bike Rides, and Relays.

• Schedule a speaker from any of the Kiwanis Cancer Research Programs.

• Make hats, trauma dolls, and quilts for children going through cancer treatment.

Reward: Gain satisfaction for changing the world one child at a time and making a real

difference in the lives and future of children in each of our communities.

“This PNW Kiwanis Program will continue for as long as there is the need to find cures for children’s

cancer.” Claudell King, PNW Governor Elect 2010-2011.

Program (KCCP)

Divisional KCCP Plan

Division 30 KCCP Plan Service Project: The Divisional BBQ was planned to be during September where the funds raised will go to KCCP, but because of the Puyallup Fair, it’ll be planned later in the year. I'm also thinking about BINGO nights with a spaghetti feed and socials where there would be raffles and things like that. Also host a table at the mall during December to wrap gifts and explain KCCP. We could also partner with a local restaurant and figure a day to promote them within our schools and get half of the profits made. These are only suggestions, let me know if you would like to do any of these or have your own ideas. Goal: Awareness of the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program throughout the school and community. Hopefully all the clubs in the division will become more open to each other and ideas of inter-clubs and to also get some clubs working with other parts of the K-Family.

Rough Monetary Goal for Each Club: The first goal for each club is $200. But once you reach $200, your new goal becomes $500. I am hoping that by the time 2012 District Convention, we have raised awareness for KCCP and over $3,500. I will be updating the thermometer to the left and creating individual thermometers for each club. So whenever you earn funds for KCCP, always let me know! Whether if it’s $20 or $150, let me know.

Estimate End Date: Hopefully all of the goals will be reached by February/early March.

Fundraising Ideas

Here are some fundraising ideas to help your club raise money and awareness at the same time. Hold a miracle minute during your first club meeting and/or once a month.

A miracle minute is really easy and is when you have several containers and go collect as much money/change

you can in a minute. You can get a goal and have a prize or a reward if you reach the goal.

Collect spare change in a jar and count it at the end of a month.

Hold a coin/spare change drive during lunch or set up a jar to collect any spare change.

Hold an ice cream social or a hands-on meeting for KCCP to make trauma dolls.

On a bigger scale: work with Krispy Kreme, Panda Express, Coldstones, or Jamba Juice or

organize a car wash and explain KCCP while their car is washed.

Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to save the lives of babies and their mothers by eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus (MNT), a disease that kills an estimated 60,000 newborns and a significant number of women each year.

MNT is easily prevented by a series of three vaccinations to women of childbearing age, costing roughly US$1.80. The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus will raise US$110 million over the next five years to fill the funding gap required to provide an estimated 387 million doses of the vaccine.

The Eliminate Project will deliver life saving vaccines to the most vulnerable women and children in the world: those in remote and difficult to reach areas; conflict zones; and with little access to healthcare.

Who is an LtG Why Should I Run

What Do You Do

How Do I Find Out More

A Lieutenant Governor is someone who takes care of his/ There are many reasons why. Here are just some:

her division to helping it grow and to become more ● It’s a very rewarding, life changing successful

experience. They relay information between the Pacific ● You learn and grow a lot as a person

Northwest District to the clubs. They are also someone ● You meet so many wonderful people

who is there to help you. ● You create amazing friendships

The job of an LtG isn’t hard but it requires hard work and dedication. Some of the things you do are: make newsletters, submit a monthly report, make club visitations, plan and hold Divisional Council Meetings, help your clubs pay their dues, attend super fun board meetings (there is no sarcasm, the board meetings are truly the best and the funnest), and to help and be there in support for your clubs.

If you are interested, send me an email! I’ll answer any question you have about being an LtG. A candidate’s package will be sent out with more information.
