Children: Their Future, Our Focus

Hello Division 28 Key Clubbers!

We’re a month into school now and the clubs are off to a great start! I’ve been able to visit each club’s first meeting this year, and I can already see the dedication and effort that the members and officers are investing into their club. I’m stoked that the division hit the ground running in service with 117 volunteers showing up at the September Service DCM to help make blankets to donate! I’m already so proud of every club in the division, and I can’t wait to see how we impact the world in the future!

Also, don’t forget about dues! Your club should try to get your dues in by November 1st to reach the early bird deadline and get better seats at DCON. December 1st is the final deadline, so be sure that you have at least 15 paid members before then!

In Love and Service,Adam NewtonLieutenant Governor of Division 28

“Youth Opportunity Fund? What’s that?”

The Youth Opportunity Fund, or YOF, is a grant

run by Key Club International

If a club wants to start a service project but

lacks the funds to do it, the YOF will grant them

$100 to $2000 to achieve their goal.

The YOF is funded by your annual dues, so

take advantage of it!

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!
