Hey Key Clubbers! My name is Calvin Leung and I've been a proud Key Club-ber for the past 3 years. After a roller coaster-like run serving as a member and Lieutenant Governor, I now have the privilege to serve you all as an International Trustee, assigned to the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain, and Minnesota-Dakotas District. As Trustee, my job is to represent you in the International board, create and promote international resources, advocate large-scale projects across the states, and travel the U.S. as a face for Key Club International! To me, Key Club has become more than just a club I serve alongside my friends. It has become something more. Rather than being life-changing, this organization has been life-defining. As my friend Jun Park once told me, "we all pay our dues to be a part of Key Club, but I pay mine to be part of a family.”
In Caring and Service,
Calvin Leung Calvin Leung

INTERNATIONAL
SPECIAL COMMITTEES DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15
Key Club International is now offering all Key Club members by October 15th to become mem-bers of the Key Club International’s 3 Special Committees! As a committee member, you will not have benefits such as traveling and paid ex-penses; however, you will have the opportunity to work with the International board in making a lasting impact for Key Club International.
Bylaw Review Team The Bylaw Review Team will be thoroughly pick-ing over Key Club International’s Bylaws and Pol-icies to help eliminate discrepancies, provide clari-fication, and correct structural/grammatical is-sues. 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.
Global Task Force The Global Task Force will serve to highlight the diversity and international flavor of our organiza-tion, 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.
Service Ambassadors Our Service Ambassadors will help promote the Eliminate Project and our Preferred Charities by encouraging Key Clubbers to participate in pro-jects. 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.

NEW MEMBERSHIP UPDATE CENTER
It will have a faster, better user interface. Clubs will be able to easily add or delete several members at once. Advisors/ Secretaries will be able to login with their email address
and then create their own password. Key Club and CKI members will be able to edit their own infor-
mation, thus keeping the system current. Many of the current features that people like, such as exporting
rosters to excel, will be maintained. The new redesigned system will be ready by October 1st. Because it is later than usual, Key Club International will be sending out letters and emails to help advisors and club secretaries once it's operational. KCI will also be making step-by-step tutorial videos to help you all adjust! If you need any help, feel free to contact me!

What was
your most
favorite
ICON
moment?
Getting to
meet so many
passionate Key
Clubbers at the
Service Fair!
The meet and
greet, I loved
meeting so
many great
people!
The Key of
Honor speech.
That guy made
me well up.
My favorite ICON
was pin trading.
Being ale to talk
to random
people and ex-
change unique
pins was one of
the great ways I
was ale to meet
new people and
share different
stories!
The last 80’s
neon dance at
convention
because I got to
say good bye
and take
pictures with all
my new Key
Club friends! I
also got to
dance (and I
love dancing)!!!
My favorite
ICON moment
was getting to
wear my prom
dress for the
award session!
My favorite
ICON moment
was during the
service fair as I
got to see so
many different
people and
service oppor-
tunities across
the globe!
My favorite ICON
moment was
seeing all the
Key Clubbers in
one room and
feeling the in-
credible amount
of spirit and drive
that was in there-
it was going to
explode with
service!
My favorite
ICON moment
was the fare-
well session
when I was an-
nounced as an
International
Trustee!
Photobombing
group photos
during Meet 'n'
Greet--check
your the
background of
your photos
carefully ;)
My favorite
ICON moment
was finding my
old divisional
pin from 1999
from a pin
trader.
Meeting
everyone, and
making lots of
new friends!
Do you
have any
guilty
pleasures?
Working,
getting my
back
scratched,
listening to
movie sound-
tracks, and
writing letters.
Netflix, giant
bowls of cereal
and 90s boy
bands.
Playing Legend
of Zelda, Oracle
of Seasons on my
Blackberry,
watching
Miyazaki movies
over and over
again (Totoro)
and Dubstep!
Facebook stalk-
ing is my main
guilty pleasure. It
is the most
entertaining
thing to do when
you are not
occupied with
anything else!
Sleeping, bak-
ing, cleaning/
organizing stuff,
brushing my
teeth (I take
dental care
seriously)!
Watching
Glee, listening
to the Jonas
Brothers,
playing Disney
Sing It, and
shoes.
Ice cream (I’m
lactose Intoler-
ant, but YOLO),
Naruto (I’ve
watched 500
episodes since
April), and
Korean Pop
Singing loudly
and off key in
the shower,
romantic
comedies (let
the laughing
begin), and
Cheese-It's
Key Club, indie
music, social
media, and
the History
Channel.
Looking at
dresses I could
never afford,
painting, watch-
ing Avatar,
making fun of
Ratan Manohar’s
creepy laugh
Watching Teen
Wolf, eating
anything bad for
you, listening to
one direction,
and reading the
Hunger Games
over and over
again.
Eating,
SHOPPING,
watching "A
Cinderella Story,
staring at Marc
Chen, and
secretly dressing
up like
MaryAlice.
What is
one fact
people
usually
don’t know
about you?
I'm a rather
fearless
person, and I
love water and
snow skiing!
I would like to
obtain a
private pilot’s
license after I
graduate.
I have an enor-
mous bald spot
on the back of
my head from an
operation a long
time ago. You
can't see it
because of my
long, flowy hair.
One thing a lot
of people don’t
know is that I
always try to go
to a park at least
once a week so I
can unwind and
take in the beau-
ty of nature!
I take criticism
to the heart
and I get
stressed really
easily, but I
don’t like to
show it.
Living in Paris is
my dream!
I can only
speak one
language:
English. Yes,
I’m one of
those stupid
Asians.
I'm kind of an
outdoorsy
person/
adrenaline junkie
- I enjoy white-
water rafting,
climbing, shoot-
ing, orienteering,
spelunking- that
sort of thing
I use the
phrase “YOLO”
far too often,
sometimes
when it doesn’t
even make
sense!
I may look tiny
but I eat a ri-
diculous
amount of
food!
I am absolutely
obsessed with
YouTube
celebrities.
I am OBSESSED
with Cirque Du
Soleil.
