Dear Division 28 Key Clubbers,

As of when I wrote this, there are only 67 days remaining until DCON 2016 begins. Although that may seem like a long time, it will go by very fast! In those two months, there will be registration, many club elections, divisional events, and so much more.

Speaking of DCON, divisional t-shirts are available! Please remember that all DCON attendees are required to get a shirt, so if you’re attending and haven’t already, be sure to fill out the t-shirt form! You can find it in the same post as the t-shirt reveal on the Division 28 Facebook page.

Lastly, congratulations to Peter Ch’en, the Lieutenant Governor-elect for the 2016-2017 term! Although it will be a while longer until he is inducted at DCON, please get to know him if you haven’t already! He will be in charge of supporting all ten clubs in our divisionand leading the division as a wholefor the following year.

In Love and Service,Adam NewtonLieutenant Governor of Division 28

the gift exchange.

Come join Divisions 28 and 32 as we take on our last joint DCM before we begin to prepare for DCON!

At this DCM, each team will be given a list of tasks to complete around the mall. However, each team will be given a target. If you want to succeed, you must hunt down

and “assassinate” your target, but make sure that you aren’t assassinated yourself!

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.

Division 28 serves the Bellevue,

Issaquah, Mercer Island, and

Snoqualmie areas. It contains 10

schools, including Mercer Island,

Newport, Bellevue, Sammamish,

Interlake, International, Issaquah,

Skyline, Liberty, and Mount Si. Division

28 is one of the largest and most

committed divisions in the district, and

had the highest divisional attendance

at DCON 2015.
