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.

together!
YOU are our

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!
Start
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
ICON.

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.”-

officers’ installation,
and a walkathon to
benefit Kiwanis
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.” -
