Dear Division 27,

What a great start to the

summer! The past ten days

I was in Orlando Florida

attending 2012’s Interna-

tional convention! It was a

blast going to Disney

World, making new

friends along the way,

meeting people from all

around the world, and

electing the new Interna-

tional president, vice presi-

dent, and eleven interna-

tional trustees. It was a

great experience! Pacific

Northwest District is home

to two of the 2012-2013

international trustees : Cal-

vin Leung and Mary Alice

Peng! I am excited to bring

back new service ideas that

I have learned about dur-

ing the time I was at con-

vention. I would like to

thank the Kirkland Kiwa-

nis and Sammamish Kiwa-

nis for sponsoring me! I

look forward to meeting all

of the Kiwanis!

I will hopefully be seeing a

lot of you at my July DCM!

If you have any questions,

comments, or concerns

you can contact me any

time!

nered with this organization. The

HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games

is the largest youth sports pro-

gram of its kind in the United

States and Canada. Events

take place in every state and

most provinces in North Ameri-

ca, and hundreds of athletes

make it to the grand finale —

the North American Final in Her-

shey, Pennsylvania.

The Kiwanis Children’s Can-

cer Program (KCCP)

KCCP, Kiwanis Children’s Can-

cer Program, in support of Ki-

wanis Doernbecher Children’s

Cancer Program in Portland

OR., Kiwanis Children’s Cancer

Program in Seattle WA. and the

Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Pro-

gram in British Columbia and

the Yukon, will raise money and

awareness to fight and find the

cure for children’s cancer.

The KCCP was founded by Governor

Frank Morehouse of the Pacific North-

west District of Kiwanis International in

2010. Governor Frank’s inspiration was

a young cancer patient named Penny.

With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forc-

es 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.

To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their fu-

ture babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage,

transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million —

and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.

Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders,

achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th cen-

tury. Now, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing

so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies

with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the

beginning of better health for so many families.
