Hi All,

Being Lt Governor of PNW Kiwanis Division 9

has given me the opportunity to become

more involved with Key Club. I have had

some really great experiences this year

alone.

I attended the Key Club division meeting in

Omak when Jasmair Bains was elected as

the Lt Governor for Key Club. In our first

conversations, Jasmair and I had very similar

goals. We both thought that Kiwanis and

Key Clubs should be working together as

much as we could. And, also when

possible, we as a group should travel in

unison to various Kiwanis functions.

In March I went to the Key Club District

Convention held in Seattle, WA. This was

my first Key Club DCON, it will not be my

last. I was impressed with the drive, desire,

zest, and, zeal of all the Key Clubbers that

attended. Knowing that the convention

was totally orchestrated by Key Clubbers is

a complement to your abilities as future

leaders.

Yes, there is more about future leaders. I

also went as a chaperon to Camp

Kawkawa in Hope, B.C., Canada where the

Key Leader Program was held this spring.

Key Club attendees worked together and

accomplished all the assigned tasks and

challenges presented to them.

The whole of Kiwanis supports Key Club.

Let’s work

together!

YOU are our

future

leaders!

We support

you!

Key Club is an alive, well and

much appreciated in Division

9. The energy put into useful and

welcome projects by the 80 plus

key clubbers is fantastic. I share

our new Lieutenant Governors

desire to build additional key clubs

in the division and hope our

Kiwanis clubs will continue to try to

start new student clubs. In the past

three years there has been interest

in the Kiwanis Clubs of Tonasket,

Brewster, and Oliver to start Key

Clubs. The sticking point is often

finding a faculty advisor to assist

the club within the

school. Teachers are busy and

often have extra student related

after school jobs already. Consider

variations on advisors. Any staff

member can be your advisor such

as classified staff or

administrators. If the person can

relate to the students they can be

affective. Also, clubs don't have to

be in the school but can be in

community organizations that deal

with students. If you have a

thought as to how you might get a

club started contact Jasmair or me

and ask for advice and

help. Contact me

at [email protected] .

Feel free to

contact me!

your

own Key

Club!

Key Leader

Team building activities taught us patience, open-

mindedness, trust, confidence in others and ourselves,

and how to be good listeners.

Everyone taking notes during one of Josh’s sessions.

We learned many unforgettable traits. Such as,

integrity, service leadership, respect, building a

strong community, taking risks, our personal values,

and how to be a good listener.

Service Leadership!

Hello Key Clubbers!

This year, International Convention will be held

in the happiest place on Earth: Anaheim, California!

From July 2nd through July 6th, you’ll get the opportunity

to meet Key Clubbers from all over the world. Last

year, we had Key Clubbers all the way from New

Zealand and Great Britain! With over 1,600 diverse Key

Clubbers coming together in one hotel, you’re bound

to meet new people whom you may have never had

the chance to see otherwise. You’ll be able to share

your service project ideas with other Key Clubbers and

gain new ideas for the upcoming service year. In

addition to increasing your service potential, you will

also garner new skills as a servant leader through the

numerous exciting forums that we are offering this

year. Get ready for your next officer position for the

2014-2015 Key Club year or just work on becoming a

leader in your home, school, and community! Finally,

the future of Key Club International will be in your

hands. It is up to you to elect the 2014-2015

International Board and to vote on the multiple

amendments that will be brought up at this year’s

House of Delegates.

However, let’s not forget about the amazing

experiences that you will have outside of International

Convention! This year, the Pacific Northwest District is

going to Disney Land on Tuesday, July 1st. You’ll be

able to spend the entire day exploring this amusement

park with some of the best people in the world at your

side. More information on your district’s tour can be

found at:

n2014. I hope to see you at this year’s International

Convention in Anaheim!

Yours in service,

I’m really not

supposed to talk to

strangers, but you’re

a Key Clubber.

The past can hurt. But the

way I see it, you can

either run from it or go to

Maternal Neonatal

Tetanus (MNT)

$1.80 can save a mother and

its future babies!

Kills one baby every nine

minutes.

Newborns suffer

convulsions, and they’re

extremely sensitivity to

light. Their mothers

cannot comfort them

because the babies are

sensitive to touch.

“Key Club has helped Unicef as a part of

the Kiwanis family. Since 1994, Key Club has

been Trick-or-Treating for Unicef. This

community service project was inspired and

created by children in 1950. Trick-or-Treat for

Unicef has inspired and assisted

many generations of children to make lasting

change in their global community. This year, all

funds raised by Key Clubs through Trick-or-

Treating for Unicef will go to The Eliminate

Project. The Eliminate Project is Kiwanis

eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus. By collecting donations for Unicef through the

Trick-or-Treat for Unicef program over the years,

Key Club has raised more than $5 million. This

money has gone to help Iodine deficiency

programs worldwide. The donations have also

supported HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya

and Swaziland. Also, the money that Key Club

has raised through Unicef has helped with teen

centers in Uruguay. These centers for teenagers

helped with providing adolescents with job

skills, education, family counseling and other

social services. This year Key Club Trick-or-Treat

for Unicef funds will support The Eliminate

Project. Maternal and neonatal tetanus is a

terrible tragedy. In countries where people lack

health care education and services, a baby

can be infected with tetanus during birth and

can die within days. That short lifetime is

agonizing, but this disease is easily

preventable. An average of $1.80 will give

three doses of vaccine to a mother and her

child, this is enough to keep them safe from this

deadly disease. Our goal is to eliminate MNT.

Every K-Kids, Builders Club, and Key Club that

participates in Trick-or-Treat for Unicef receives

a fundraising kit with collection boxes to help

them conduct a successful campaign.”-

Children's Cancer

Research Program

on Saturday the 25th.

Where members of

the community and

Key Clubs from

Division 9 helped out.

They raised a total of

$400 with more

money rolling in.

Put together a survey for

the Omak members, so

don’t forget to fill it out!

“The reason why I

decided to put it

together is because I

want to know what

interests individuals have,

and I want to get to

know everyone better. I

want the club to grow as

a whole closer, and I

want to know what

everyone is interested in

doing. What I can do to

help them realize their

Key Club passion.” -
