Your Lieutenant Governor
Hey Key Clubbers
I apologize on behalf of Anchorage’s weather and the unfortu-
nate cancellation of Alaska Rally, but is rescheduled! Alaska Rally
will be held on January 20th and it’s going to be even better! If you
are interested in becoming Lieutenant Governor there will be Lieu-
tenant Governor elections on January 11th. I highly recommend
running even if you are just thinking about it. There is a December
DCM and its going to be so much fun! Its beginning to look a lot
like Christmas is the theme! We will be eating yummy food, watch-
ing Christmas movies, playing games, and Secret Santa! I hope to
see all of you there. There is information in here about the District
Convention, I know that it’s a long ways away but in actuality its
coming up really quick. Don’t wait to register. Christmas is coming
up and there is plenty of volunteering opportunities around the
holidays, give back this Christmas!
With love and service

We will be taking down a luxury bus and leaving from
North Pole High School Saturday morning at 7:00am and
Lathrop High School at 7:30am and arriving around 3:00
-4:00pm in Anchorage. We will then have time to get set-

for 2 days worth of meals, complementary breakfast will
be provided along with lunch the day of Alaska Rally, also
any extra spending money for shopping. This time we will
be staying an extra night after Alaska Rally instead of

What: We will play games, eat food, watch Christmas mov-
ies, and do a Secret Santa.
Secret Santa
Make sure to bring a gender neutral gift, wrap
it up and don't write who it’s from because it’s
a secret. The limit is $20, don't spend more
than that. I can’t wait to see what everyone
brings! If you don't bring a gift, than you wont
be able to play our Secret Santa game.
Pot Luck
Bring some yummy food, a side dish, main dish, dessert,
snack, whatever you feel like making.
If you cant bring food or a gift, no problem. Bring yourself!
Each year, the Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation offers
many different scholarships of varying amounts. If you have
at least a 3.0 GPA and have been a member of Key Club for
the past two years, all you need to do is complete the at-
tached application and fulfill the requirements outlined in the
guideline document. Scholarships will be distributed at the
2014 District Convention. Best of luck to all applicants!

ATTENTION ALL SENIORS
What is MNT?
In 28 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal teta-
nus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy.
MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Its effects are excruci-
ating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions
and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope
of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too.
What will it take to eliminate MNT from the
Earth?
More than 100 million mothers and their future babies must
be immunized.
This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation,
thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 mil-
lion — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every mem-
ber of the Kiwanis family.

ELIMINATE MERCHANDISE!
What they do 1. Educate
We build scholarship funds to pay for the education of talented,
ambitious, and extremely poor youth around the world, in areas
where public school is not available or fees and uniforms are too
expensive. The funds are raised through YUDA Bands projects, a
unique service learning project for high schools, jr highs, and
middle schools all across America.
2. Crate Jobs
When American youth host a YUDA Bands project at their school
it is important to understand that not only are they providing ed-
ucation but also jobs for the needy. A growing number of people
in Guatemala put food on the table at night by making YUDA
Bands during the day.
3. Empower Youth
YUDA Bands projects should not end when sales are completed
at a school. If the project is done right the spirit of YUDA Bands
remains long after the bands are all sold. The YUDA Band on stu-
dent’s wrists act as a silent reminder of the service they gave. The
project will create a movement we call the YUDA
Bands Revolution. When students look at their YUDA Band they
not only are reminded of their education and other blessings, but
are more inclined to serve others.
1st student we are sponsoring
2nd student we are sponsoring
3rd student we are sponsoring
For just $8 you can help a student go to school for a
year. North Pole High School is sponsoring three stu-
dents and would like your help! Advertise Advertise
Advertise! We don’t have much longer and we
would love to send all of these kids to school. They’re
not just helping a kid in need, they’re stylish too! Buy
a band, Change a life!
Yuda Bands will be available at Alaska Rally!
