SECRETARY REPORTS Email to: ijungpnwsec@gmail.com,
My July DCM is coming up fast on July 26th. As always, Key Club is
INCLUSIVE and don’t hesitate to bring your friends, Key Clubbers and non-Key
Clubbers alike, family, etc. to these Key Club events! This DCM will be a bit different
because we will be doing a service project while holding our divisional council
meeting. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE, it will be fun and beneficial to all members to
attend! More information is found on pages 12 and 13.
As it is summer, perhaps you have more time to visit your Kiwanis clubs at
their meetings! Getting to know your Kiwanians will help you greatly to better your
club and find more service opportunities. Key Club would not exist without our
beloved Kiwanians. Please feel free to visit page 27 for more information regarding
meeting times for your Kiwanis clubs.
Also, I would like to congratulate the seniors who have been in Key
Club. Congratulations on all of your achievements and I hope that Key Club has
treated you well over the last 4 years.
That’s it for now! SEE YOU GUYS AT MY JULY DCM!
HAVE A FANTASTIC, SERVICE-FILLED SUMMER!
In love and service,
Dorothy Wang
Lieutenant Governor of Division 64
Key Club International
CELEBRATE YOUR SUMMER…
WITH S E R V I C E GREETINGS
FROM YOUR
LT.G
Hey Key Clubbers, Summer is finally here, and I hope all of you are kicking back and relaxing after a long school year’s end. All of you have put so much effort into the last school year, from taking AP and IB classes, to being in multiple clubs and activities, to all of your endless community service that you have done. To the seniors, a special congrats on finishing high school, you guys have worked especially hard. I hope the memories of the last years in high school will carry with all of you, and I hope you know that all the service you have done in the last few years, has been changing the lives of others. To the club members, remember that when the sun is out, it is a great chance to grab a few friends and serve, and that service doesn’t end when the school year does! Continue all of your hard work because when you give a little love, you get a little love back, but when you give a lot of love, you get a lot of love back. The amount of effort you put into serving is the amount you get back, from seeing a smile from the kid who just got a card at children’s hospital, to packing a meal for a hungry family who lives in the neighborhood. The more and more you serve, the more and more you will see the community being affected, by the love and service you give to it. Remember that when you serve, give your whole heart to the project or fundraiser, and the results will soar. YOU are the change, and with every good deed you do, no matter how big or small, it helps the people around you. From right around the corner to half way around the world, you guys are truly admirable. You give more than anyone could ever see or know, you guys don’t wish that you had the power to change the world, you know you have the power to change the world. Thank you all so much, and just remember, what you share with the world is what the world keeps of you. Lisa Antonio, Pacific Northwest District Governor

TS SCOREBOARD
TS SCOREBOARD
The primary goal of the ELIMINATE project is to “eliminate
maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly
60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The
effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful
convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.” It takes $1.80 to get
three rounds of vaccinations for mother and child. In order to essentially
eradicate the prevalence of neonatal and maternal tetanus globally, we must
still raise $110 million for our cause.
As of July 7th, Key Club International has raised a total of
$2,432,905.64 for the ELIMINATE project, which means that Key Club has
impacted the lives of 2,703,228 mothers and children. I hope to see all Key
Clubbers do their part by spreading awareness and fundraising for this amazing
project. TOGETHER we CAN eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus from the world.
An easy way to raise money for the ELIMINATE project is through Miracle
Minutes! During Miracle Minutes, everyone donates as much spare change as
they can during the span of a minute. Even a couple pennies can go a long
way! For more fundraising ideas, please contact your LTG. We will also discuss
ELIMINATE in more detail at the next DCM. Visit the ELIMINATE website for more
information regarding what ELIMINATE does and Key Club’s role with that project.
*One important thing to note is that by ELIMINATION of MNT, we mean that there
will be fewer than 1 case of MNT for every 1,000 live births.
THE ELIMINATE
PROJECT
GET INVOLVED!
#elimin8
Divisional
goal: $1000 before
the end of 2015
Ideas for
ELIMINATE - Restaurant Fundraiser
- Miracle Minute
- Coin wars
- Movie night
- Car wash
- Etc. brainstorm ideas
with your clubs! Each school
must do at
least one
restaurant
fundraiser for
ELIMINATE! New ELIMINATE gear will
be out soon! I will release
more information once the
new gear comes in, but
each school must try to sell
ELIMINATE gear throughout
the school year! You must
be in good
communication with your
Lt.G in order to do so.
Tip: Try to dedicate at least one service project a month towards
the ELIMINATE project!
New ideas for ELIMINATE? Share with your fellow Key Clubbers on
Note* if you have any updated information, please fill out the contact info

Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members
with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership.
Slavery was abolished in 1865. But it still exists, not only in third-world
countries, but within America too.
To learn that over 900,000 fellow Americans and countless others worldwide are lured or recruited into human trafficking is appalling. People that we know, our next door neighbor, our friend from
high school, and those whose names go unheard, who will most likely celebrate only two more birthdays while in the sex trade, before their tragic and untimely death… As shocking as much of this is, it is reassuring to know that there is an organization out there, in Redlight Traffic, who is standing up for those innocent individuals, and we as Kiwanis Family Members must rally behind our motto of
serving the children of the world.” Raeford Penny, 2013-2014 International President of Key Club International
“Human trafficking is one of the
fastest growing
crimes in the world. Human trafficking
is the world’s second largest criminal
enterprise, after drugs.”

Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers! Over this past week, I along with 39 other PNW Key Clubbers and six Kiwanis chaperones had the opportunity to attend the 71st annual International Convention in the vibrant city of Anaheim, California. While there, we had the opportunity to attend educational workshops, meet Key Clubbers from across the world, and elect the 2014-2015 Key Club International Board. I am truly humbled and honored to announce that I was chosen out of a field of four other highly qualified candidates to be your next International Vice President. My biggest support throughout the entire journey, from the moment I decided to run until my name was announced on stage, was the entire Pacific Northwest District. So let me take this time to thank every single one of you- all 13,000+ members. It was your support that got me through not only ICON week but the months leading up to it. Thank you to everyone that messaged me “good luck” and to all of those that congratulated me afterwards. Even though many of you did not attend ICON 2014, I still felt as if all of you were alongside me. I look forward to personally thanking many of you as I travel to some of the upcoming area rallies. To all the graduating seniors, even though I will not have the opportunity to serve you for this upcoming year, I hope that many of you will decide to join Circle K in college and eventually Kiwanis. Once again, THANK YOU to the mighty Pacific Northwest District! I look forward to yet another fantastic year of service, friendship, and growth not only for Key Club International but also for our district! In Service,
