By Lieutenant Governor Giovanni McKenzie
For the past decade, Division 62 (formerly Division 60/62) was one
of the weaker divisions of our district. In 2010, our division was very
small with only one active club. This year however, it’s grown to
seven active clubs. With determined and hardworking Key Club-
bers, helpful Faculty Advisors, and supportive Kiwanians, our divi-
sion is striving to make our world a better place.
Our divisional membership has grown by 64.6%
throughout 2011-2012 due to our newly char-
tered Key Club in Wilson High School, the retention
of the Key Clubs of Madison and Columbia Christian
High School, and the growth of Key Clubs in Lincoln,
Grant, Madison, and David Douglas High Schools.
A new addition to our division is our re-
sources portal, KEYSIS (The Key Club Service
Information WebSite). This portal provides
Division 62 Key Clubbers with any type of
information, from district convention, officer
resources, scholarships, and graphic stan-
dards to monthly club reports. This has pro-
vided a place where clubs can share
ideas, and where members can educate
themselves on Key Club related material.
With 71 pages and 32 posts, KEYSIS has a
staggering number of 5,100 all-time hits
since it’s debut in the Fall of 2011 (as of
March 3, 2012).
State of the Union By Lieutenant Governor Giovanni McKenzie

2011-2012 State of the Union In October 2011, our division had its first monthly Presi-
dents Council Meeting, where Presidents and Vice Presi-
dents across our division meet once a month to discuss
important divisional business. This allows Divisional Coun-
cil Meetings to focus on creating a space for Key Club-
bers to be social and learn more about our organization.
We had our first Winter Rally in December 2011 with over
70 participants and guest speakers such as District Con-
vention Chair Felicia Nguyen, District Projects Director Samuel
Kim, Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation Scholarships Chair
Jewell Bailey, and Division 66 Lieutenant Governor Calvin
Leung.
Partnering with Kiwanis Clubs has been a great interest in our
division. In February 2012, the Key Club of Grant High School,
the Lieutenant Governor’s home club, chartered a K-Kids
club at the K-8 school across the street in partnership with the Kiwanis Club of Portland. As we
speak, the Division 62 Lt. Governor is working closely with the Division 62 Kiwanis Lt. Governor and
other Kiwanians to charter a Circle K club at Portland State University.
Our KCCP/Key Club wristbands became a big hit across the district
this year. We sold 1,000 wristbands to Key Clubbers in support of this
year’s district project. And more orders are coming to us each day.
Be sure to buy some at DCON!
Some of our plans for the new Key Club year include the Eliminate
Project Flash-mob and the chartering of new Key Clubs in high schools with an abnormal amount of
students in low-income household and high drop-out rates. We envision that Key Club will help to
reduce the drop-out rates in these Portland high schools because it is proven that students who de-
vote time to serving others perform better in school (Eugene C. Roehlkepartain, Benefits of Commu-
nity-Based Service Learning). This year has been very productive and successful for Division 62.

March of Dimes International Service Partner
How Key Club Helps? Since 1978, Key Clubs have hosted fundraising and awareness pro-grams to support the March of Dimes, raising over $116,000 through fundraisers in 2011 alone! Key Club members, like you, can support the March of Dimes each semester: in the fall, raise aware-ness by hosting programs throughout November for Prematurity Awareness Month and in the spring, raise funds by participating in March for Babies, the March of Dimes largest annual fundraiser.

2011 DISTRICT PROJECT: KIWANIS CHILDREN CANCER PROGRAM
The Kiwanis Children Cancer Program was founded
by Governor Frank Morehouse of the Pacific North-
west District of Kiwanis International in 2010. Kiwanis
Governor Frank’s inspiration was a young cancer pa-
tient named Penny. Governor Frank worked at the
hospital where Penny stayed. Penny was diagnosed
with a brain tumor and would require surgery and ra-
diation therapy. Penny would visit Governor Frank
during her hospital stays and talk about what was
happening to her. Penny eventually lost her battle
with cancer. The KCCP is dedicated to Penny’s
memory.
The new Pacific Northwest Key Club District Governor,
Varun Awasthi saw the need for this project. Our Gov-
ernor made it his duty to ensure that Key Clubbers
across our district knew more about children’s can-
cer, and make our contribution to curing cancer.
How can you help?
The two greatest contributions you could make is to:
Help us educate
Help us fundraise
Sell KCCP Wristbands! (see page )
ABOUT THE PROJECT

2011-2012 The ELIMINATE PROJECT eliminating neonatal & maternal tetanus
WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A BABY’S LIFE? There are few events more joyful than the day a new baby is
welcomed to the world. But in 38 countries, a dreaded dis-
ease quickly turns that joy into tragedy.
Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every
nine minutes — that's 60,000 babies every year who will never
grow up, make their mothers laugh, play with friends or dream
about the future. The effects of the disease are excruciating
— tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and ex-
treme sensitivity to light and touch. A significant number of
women die from MNT each year too.
$2 = Protection for mother
+ future babies
$1.80 (roughly) = 3 doses of tetanus vaccine
