A Word from Your
Lt. Governor
DRAGONS ARE IN THE HOUSE!
Hello Division 32! I hope you all had an awesome September. Now that October has begun, this means two things: UNICEF AND DUES! Hopefully all of you have ordered your UNICEF boxes. Also, the new membership update center has been released; please contact me or District Treasurer, Kenneth Lam, if you are having issues logging in.
This year we want to win the District Derby and try to get all of our dues in as early as possible! If you need ideas for recruiting members, please contact me! The fall time is crucial in building the foundation for your club. I guess that’s all I have to say, see you all at the October DCM!
In Love and Service, Nguyen Huynh, Lt. G Pacific Northwest District [email protected]

Day 1: Show your K in every way Day 2: Kudos to the Key players Day 3: Connect the Ks Day 4: Bring a friend to Key Club Day 5: Your Way
KEY CLUB WEEK l NOVEMBER 5-9, 2012
TRICK OR TREAT FOR UNICEF l OCTOBER 2012
TRICK-OR-TREAT FOR
UNICEF
Every year, thousands of Key Clubbers order these infamous boxes so that they can go around their neighborhoods to collect loose change for UNICEF. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF us Key Clubbers the chance to help others. This campaign has raised more than $167 million so far and every donation, big or small,, makes a difference. Thanks to our participation, girls and boys all over the world receive the help they need for healthy and happy lives.
CLUB SPOTLIGHT: Hazen High School! Each year, Hazen Key Club gets really creative with their Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF project. In addition to placing the boxes in the teachers’ classrooms, they offer a competition and also a “Jam-fest” where talented musicians in their school are able to perform at lunch to help get donations.
The ELIMINATE PROJECT
$2 = Protection for mother +
future babies
What is MNT? In 38 countries around the world maternal
and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly
turn the joy of childbirth into a tragedy.
MNT kills one baby every nine minutes. Its
effects are excruciating – tiny newborns
suffer repeated, painful convulsions and
extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There
is little hope of survival and tetanus also kills
the mother.
Why focus on this issue?
It is unacceptable that newborns and their
mothers suffer from such an easily
preventable disease. It is also a great
opportunity for us to reach out to the
poorest mothers and newborns and be
able to provide lifesaving healthcare.
Developing a delivery system for these
vaccines will greatly help families in third-
world countries.
How does Key Club help?
With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis
International and UNICEF have joined
forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal
tetanus. It will take $110 million to fund all
the vaccines, syringes, safe storage,
transportation, thousands of skilled staff &
more—and the dedicated work of UNICEF
and every member of the Kiwanis family.

The committee will be thoroughly picking over Key
Club International’s Bylaws and Policies to help eliminate
discrepancies, provide clarification, and correct
structural/grammatical issues. It will not be altering content. The Bylaw Review Team will present its suggestions to the Key Club
International Executive Committee, who may then
choose which revisions to take to the Key Club International
Board.

The committee will serve to highlight the diversity and international flavor of our
organization, as well as promote our core value of “inclusiveness”
as a way to attract more members. The Global Task
Force will help draft educational resources and
collect stories and video for further use by the standing International committees.
http://tinyurl.com/9y9of78
Our Service Ambassadors will help promote the Eliminate Project and our Preferred
Charities by encouraging Key Club members to participate to know how to participate with the Eliminate Project and our Preferred Charities. We hope
they will indirectly make service attractive for members by
displaying their own personal passion for the Eliminate Project and our Preferred
Charities in all aspects of their lives.
