Dear Division 28 Key Clubbers,
There are now only 36 days remaining until DCON 2016. Time is moving very quickly, so be sure that you’re ready for DCON! I will be ordering t-shirts and spirit packs very soon, so if you still want one, please let me or your club officers know!
Speaking of preparing yourself for DCON, don’t miss out on the DCON Prep DCMs! It is mandatory that each DCON attendee goes to at least one of these events. At these DCMs, we will be going over what’s happening at DCON 2016, some divisional cheers, passing out spirit gear, getting to know others in our division, and much more!
Many clubs have also had their officer elections in the past month, so congratulations to all the incoming officers! Remember, you have a difficult but also very rewarding task ahead of you. Being a Key Club officerwill allow you to see Key Club in awhole new way, and I know thatyou’ll enjoy every minute of yourterm!
In Love and Service,Adam NewtonLieutenant Governor of Division 28

January DCM
Thank you to all the Div. 28 and Div. 32 members who
attended the January 28/32 Joint DCM! We were
lucky to have over 120 attendees from both divisions!
We started off the DCM with few games of assassin
and then moved to a scavenger hunt around the
mall! And don’t forget the babies that will be saved
from your donations during the miracle minute!

In the midst of serene nature and fluctuating weather conditions lies the great Pacific Northwest
District (PNW).The Pacific Northwest is geographically the largest district of Key Club International. The district spans from western
Canada to 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 45 divisions. Through rain or shine, snow or hail, Key Clubbers in the
Pacific Northwest dedicate countless hours to their communities and internationally, and are always
Proud 'N' Willing to serve!
UNICEF
Since 1994, Key Club has been Trick-or-
Treating for UNICEF and over the years
has raised nearly US$5 million for iodine
deficiency programs worldwide and HIV
and AIDS programs in Kenya and
Swaziland. Now it’s helping the Eliminate
Project.
MARCH OF DIMES
For decades, Key Club has partnered
with the March of Dimes to give every
baby a healthy start. Key Club members
raise thousands of dollars annually
through various programs, including
collecting change, holding dances, and
taking part in March of Dimes’ signature
event, March for Babies.
CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK
HOSPITALS
Key Club participates with Children’s
Miracle Network Hospitals by sponsoring
fundraising events. Key Club members
also participate in service projects at their
local children’s hospital.
