HELLO FROM YOUR LTGChao Division 28!My name is Cyssi Ngo and I am proudto be serving as your new Lieutenant Governor for the 2015-2016! I currently am a junior at International School inBellevue. Starting off in KEY Club my freshmen year at Interlake, I never imagined myself taking on such a bigresponsibility. But at the same time, I don’t think I’ve ever found somethingfrom high school that made such a colossal impact on my life. So now,I’ve made it my goal to provide botha year full of service and fun for you guys!Being one of the larger divisions in the district, I personally see this as an advantage because that just means more connections and friendships waiting to be made. I want to be able to work with any member because ultimately you guys are going to be the best resource for improving our division. That being said, if any of you guys have questions or comments feel free to message me at any time! And on the same note, please don’t be hesitant to call me out. I’m only here because this division trusted me to hold this responsibility and the last thing I want to do is let you guys down. Here’s to a great year ahead for Division 28 !Love,Cyssi NgoLieutenant Governor of Division 28

WELCOME YOUR NEW DIVISIONAL OFFICERS

DIVISIONAL SECRETARY

Hello D28!My name is Andes (but you can call me Andy) and I am really excited to be your Divisional Secretary! I’m currently attending Bellevue High School as a sophomore after I transferred from Issaquah High. When I first heard about Key Club, I thought they said tea club… So, I joined Key Club thinking I was going to make some delicious brew, and I was shocked about how much enthusiasm people had! (I figured out later) I couldn’t imagine how much energy Key Clubbers had to volunteer. I thought to myself, I need to join this crew. When I’m not volunteering, youcan easily find me at any bubbletea café. I am incredibly excited toserve D28 as Secretary and towork with all the amazing individuals that share my passion for service! All the best, your Sexytary, Andes Lee

WELCOME YOUR NEW DIVISIONAL OFFICERS

DIVISIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS

Hey Division 28,HOW DO YOU FEEL? I for one am absolutely stoked be serving as your incoming Public Relations Officer! My name is Jacque Li (commonly referred to as Qui) and I'm a current junior at Mercer Island High School. I cannot wait to get to know every single one of you so be sure to come up and say hi if you ever see me around.Outside of Key Club, I frequent the pool as a swimmer and water polo player but my shameless loves will always be food, math, and TV/movies, so don't be surprised if you ever encounter me simultaneously eating Thai food

and watching Netflix, possiblyeven while at the pool.

Nonetheless, I'm unbelievably excited for the upcoming year,

and I hope you guys are too!

Much love to you all,Jacque Li

conditions lies the great Pacific Northwest District (PNW). The

northern California; with Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and

the pan-handle of Idaho in between. The Pacific Northwest

encompasses nearly 1.8 million square miles and includes

over 300 clubs that operate under 44 divisions. Through rain

or shine, snow or hail, Key Clubbers in the PNW dedicate

countless hours to their communities and international, and

we are always Proud ‘N’ Willing to serve!

OFFICER OF THE MONTH

MEMBER OF THE MONTH

JULIA CHENVice-President of Interlake High School

JONAH TANGMember of Mercer Island High School

Not only has Julia been incredibly helpful with helping the new officers adjust to their roles, but she has gone above and beyond in finding new service events for the club. She has coordinated with other clubs, made some essential contacts, and done independent research as well. She really deserves to be Officer of the Month because she has been the heart and soul of Key Club this month, especially because not only did she find amazing service events for all the members, but she also attended them and demonstrated that she is all about service, not just someone who says they are all about service!

Jonah Tang, a sophomore, has been an avid member and volunteer at Key Club. This month he helped especially at DCON with obtaining the club materials and distributing them to the members as well as helping our club advisor with check-in needs. Although not an officer, he shows leadership in the club and contributes ideas to the officer board.
