April 2011 Key Notes

From Friday, March 25th to Sunday, March 27, eighteen Key

Clubbers from Mount Si went and joined the fun at the annual

Pacific Northwest District Convention. DCON has a few main

purposes- to bring Key Clubbers from different schools, cities, and

states together to share service ideas, to elect a new district board

(the officers for the whole Pacific Northwest region, from Northern

California to British Columbia and Alaska), and to build up spirit

and enthusiasm for what Key Club is all about- service. You haven’t

experienced true Key Club spirit until you’ve cheered “We feel

good!” along with more than 1500 teenagers from five states and

one province. Read on for more convention highlights…

Meet your new Lieutenant Governor

The new Lieutenant Governor for Division 28 is

Kaileen Dougherty, a junior at Issaquah High School. She is on the IHS Cross Country and

Track teams. She’s also very involved in her

community. This past year she served as president

of the IHS Key Club. She went to Key Club’s

International Convention last summer. All of us

who met her at DCON were struck by her

enthusiasm and friendliness. Her goals this year

include visiting all of the clubs in her division

more than once and organizing some inter-club

events, so we can look forward to meeting Key

Clubbers from other schools. She also hopes to

double the number of DCON attendees from

Division 28, and to recognize members and

projects that really stand out.

Best Website

Award Thanks to all the hard

work of Jenny Green, our

club won the award for

Best Website! We were the

only club from Division 28

(Bellevue, Interlake,

Issaquah, Liberty, Mount

Si, Mercer Island,

Newport, Sammamish, and

Skyline) to win an award.

New District Board After hearing the candidates’ speeches and asking

them questions, two delegates from each club voted

on this year’s District Board. Our delegates, Heidi

and Lynell, did a great job and the board looks very

promising.

Delegates also voted to endorse candidates for

international positions, meaning we support them to

UPCOMING EVENTS

We want to hear

from YOU!

Got a cause you want to support, a fundraiser you want to have, or

an idea on how to spice up our Key Club meetings and draw in more

members? Let us know!

Key Club is about high school students wanting to serve their

community, so we need to know who you want to serve and how.

Without input from club members, our Key Club has no way of

making a difference in the world. Even if you want to point out a

problem that you don’t have a solution for, just contact one of your

officers and we’ll do our best to solve it. We want our Key Club to be

the best that it can be.

Thanks!
