Division 21,

Can you believe that summer is nearly

over?! It’s so bittersweet! This summer, Key

Clubbers across our Division have illuminated

service, for all to see. There’s no question

about it! I am so proud of each an everyone of you that set out with others to

change the world. Anyway, here’s the buzz:

It was great seeing some of you at my

August DCM that occurred on the 8th, just a

few days ago! I always have a blast with you

guys! If you weren't able to attend, no

worries! I have them every month! So, here's

a summary of what happened: ice breakers

galore + team building exercises,

presentation about KCCP from our very own

project director, Samuel Kim, club updates,

getting pumped for Seattle Rally, meetingnew people, GREAT FOOD and so much

more! I encourage all of you to come to my

DCM's, we truly are becoming one big

happy family. People that weren't/aren't in

Key Club are always welcome, too. Look out

for an email update for my September

DCM! You definitely won’t want to miss the

back to school information and activities!

Oh, and one more thing -- I would officially

like to introduce our new Divisional

Secretary, Christina Yoon!! She's an incoming

sophomore at Jackson, and has yet to findher key... you know, to unlock her potential!

Add her on Facebook if you'd like, look out

for her on page 5! I hope you guys are

keeping up the summer service, if you need

any help, I'm always here via text/call or

email! (Facebook messaging isn't my forte).

By the way, Mariner High School will be

holding a car wash, so look out for that!

Contact any of the officers or myself if you'd

like to participate or look up the event on

Facebook! Lastly, please take note that my

theme for August is illuminating service --what does that mean to you? I have no

doubt that each and every one of you will

be able to shine on and stand out. Until next

month, take care!

In love and service,

Wadsana Xinavong

Children's Miracle Network is a non-profit organization

dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by

raising funds for children's hospitals. All CMN contributions

directly benefit hospitals, helping to purchase up-to-date

equipment, train staff, conduct lifesaving research,

implement outreach programs and provide health care for

children whose parents can’t afford to pay. CMN started in

1983 as a televised fundraiser in a single studio and has grown

into one of the largest organizations for the support of

children in the world. The organization was founded by Marie

Osmond and her family, John Schneider, Mick Shannon and

Joe Lake. Key Club became a partner in 1996 and since then

Kiwanis and Key Club have raised over $35 million for

Children’s Miracle Network.

Did you know that the Children's

Miracle Network has a partnership with

Key Club International? (You better!

They're always featured in my

newsletters)! Dairy Queen's helping out,

and you can too. Visit your local DQ

this Thursday, August 11 & $1 or more

from each Blizzard Treat sold at

participating locations on Miracle Treat

Day will help sick and injured children at

your local Children's Miracle Network

Hospital. Since 1984, DQ has raised over

$86 million for Children's Miracle

Network Hospitals-including $5.5 million

in 2010. Let's make 2011 a record-

breaking year! Join DQ and help make

miracles happen.

Send a picture of you at DQ on Miracle Treat Day and

be featured in my September Newsletter!
