How do you plan to keep serving even when school is no

longer in session?

Now that it’s July,

summer is in full swing. For

most of us, that means Key

Club is pretty much over

until the next school year

starts. While everything slows

down during summer, it does

not mean that Key Club is

over.

There will still be DCMs

throughout the summer to

help the hive bond and

prepare for the new year. In

addition, the Seattle Rally

will be in a month! Seattle

Rally is a great time to

prepare for the new year,

meet Key Clubbers from all

over the Seattle area and

more, and renew your

passion for service.

Officers, even if your

clubs are not having any

events over the summer,

consider having meetings to

plan out the year. Plan

ahead and start the next

year off strong.

DIvision 21’s goals this year are to have all 13 clubs in their area have active status,

expand membership in the division, fundraise and increase awareness of Key Club

International and the Pacific Northwest District’s goals and projects, and have extensive

communication between all clubs regardless of distance.

However, our biggest goals are those stated by Key Club International:

To provide service, build character, and develop leadership.

Introducing….

Divisional Executive Assistant

Hey Key Clubbers! For those of you who

don't already know me, I'm Selina Nguyen! I

will be a junior this upcoming school year

and I go to Lynnwood High School. It is a

privilege to be able to serve on the Divisional

Board as Divisional Executive Assistant! I am

eager to work alongside the other members

of the board as well as further developing

my leadership skills. The goals that I plan to

achieve throughout my term in this position is

to better assist Chester with the tasks that

need to be done, to encourage clubs both

active and inactive to strive for a closer

relationship with the division and to promote

and apply the Key Club core values and

motto to the division! Key Club has made

such an impact on my life this past year and

I hope it does the same to everyone a part

of it. I feel so blessed to be a part of such a

wonderful family consisting of genuine and

passionate individuals. It's an amazing

organization that teaches you that you don't

have to do something big in order to make

a difference, it's the little things you do for

others that can change their life. Key Club...

It's life changing. So whether it's the need for

new ideas, organizing, feedback or anything

else, I'm all ears and am ready to serve

Division 21, the best division out there.

The New Divisional

Divisional Secretary

Hi, Bumblebees! I’m Jinha, your new

Divisional Secretary. I’m so glad to work

with you guys for this Key Club year! I love

how Bumblebees are building strong

bonds with each other and making Division

21 amazing, and I want to strengthen and

brighten our Division even more. First of all, I

will facilitate Divisional communication by

contacting Division officers and members

as much as possible. Also, facilitating

communication, I will encourage Key

Clubbers to learn about our Division,

District, K-family, DCON, and a lot of other

things about Key Club: I think, as a Key

Clubber, it’s important to know about the

great and fantabulous club to which he or

she belongs. Moreover, I want to inform

the detailed secretary’s duties to our

secretaries, so they can work successfully.

Lastly, I will efficiently keep track of

Divisional data and be prepared for

questions, so I can be a helpful secretary. I

will always be a passionate, resourceful,

and approachable Divisional Secretary!

Key Club is truly an indispensable part of

my life, so I'm overjoyed to serve my

beloved Bumblebees and fantabulous Key

Club! Thank you, and hope to see you at

future DCM’s!

Divisional Editor/Webmaster

Victor Mach

Lynnwood High School

Hello there my bee-ple (get it? People? Good

one, huh?) of Key Club! My name for those who

don’t know me, is Victor Mach. At the nosey, I am

a portrayer in the arts known as League of

Legends (yes, I League) and am an incoming

junior for the advancing year here at Lynnwood

High School. Let me start off just expressing the

apprehensions of excitement I am currently

feeling towards my position in the Divisional

Board. It is a prerogative to be serving as the

Divisional Editor/Webmaster (no, not Spiderman),

and I am formidably excited to show this

enthusiasm through the goals in which I plan to

achieve throughout my term. What I plan to do is

create a social bond through the inter-webs with

existent members of Key Club, innovating the

way in which friends can bond with another

through website activities and games, which I

can work on with other members to either

promote enlistment within our valued Key Club or

to just promote spirit and enthusiasm to already

existing members. By doing so, I believe, it would

encourage students to apply those fundamental

originalities to their own lives, as well as to their

fellow members to stimulate the “image” (see

that? Photography pun intended) of

acceptance and family. It doesn’t stop there, my

fellow Clubbers: I as well plan to create

videos/documentaries of students as a way to

reward their dedication and adherence to the

Club and as a way to bind us further together as

a hive. All in all, my ultimate goal for all of us is to

have fun (cliché, I know); because in the end,

what is there to Key Club without the fun?

What will DIVISION 21 do?

ELIMATE is the District Project this year so we will definitely participate!

Stay tuned to find out what Division 21 will do this year to ELIMINATE MNT!

Page 8: The Buzz: July 2013

The Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program, KCCP, in support of Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s

Cancer Program in Portland OR., Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program in Seattle WA., and the

Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program 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 Past PNW Kiwanis Governor Frank Morehouse in 2010. His inspiration

was a young cancer patient named Penny. Morehouse worked at the hospital where Penny

stayed. Penny was diagnosed with a brain tumor and required surgery and radiation therapy.

Penny visited Morehouse during her hospital stays and talked about what was happening to her.

Sadly, Penny eventually lost her battle with cancer.

The KCCP is a long term project that will hopefully expand to a global program. Children’s

cancer affects many families. Thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and

with the help of research, their chances of surviving have more than tripled. KCCP hopes to be

a part of finding a cure.

“The Pacific Northwest is the beginning. The world is our goal.”

Thank you!

A huge thank you to the Kiwanis Clubs (listed below) that supported my ICON trip. At

ICON, I was able to receive my official training as Lieutenant Governor, learn about

service projects and organizations, and meet with other Lieutenant Governors and

to help me with the rest of my term.
