From your LTG How’s it going sharks? It’s been a fast paced month! From DCMs to Rallies to summer events! But unfortunately it’s here folks! Summers officially over in less then a month! I hope this truly has been a summer to remember! But first let’s get down to business! Thank you to all of our members who came to Tacoma Rally! I’m proud to say we saved over 100 babies, thanks to all of you! I had an amazing time planning the event and I hope you had as much fun as I did! Thanks to everyone who also came to Portland Rally and Seattle Rally! I’m glad to say they both have been amazing successes also! It’s time to spread the Key Club love to all the freshman and new members! Bring potential members to your club meetings, service projects and don’t forget your divisional events! And thank you officers for all their hard word! Catch you later sharks! Proud n’Willing to Serve

Good Morning Sunshines! If you haven't seen me around lately in the month of July you'd know I am doing a lot of things around the district and a lot of it positive and some part secretive. I've had a blast meeting a lot of you guys during Tacoma Rally and some of you at Seattle Rally. I've come with great news of a new project I am currently working on. It's right now under construction so I can't really tell you guys any details on it but just know it's big. D34 could be the first to innovate this so if I seem busy I'm probably doing that in working on my top secret project. See you guys around Divisional Editor

Unicef Since 1994, Key Club has been Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF and over the years has raised nearly US$5 million for iodine deficiency programs worldwide and HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya and Swaziland. Now it’s helping The Eliminate Project.
March of Dimes For decades, Key Club has partnered with the March of Dimes to give every baby a healthy start. Key Club members raise thousands of dollars annually through various programs, including collecting change, holding dances and taking part in March of Dimes’ signature event, March for Babies.
Children’s Miracle Network Key Club participates with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals by sponsoring fundraising events. Key Club members also participate in service projects at their local children’s hospital.

• 1 baby dies every 11 minutes from tetanus • 24 Countries remain at risk for MNT • A series of 3 doses of tetanus vaccine = immunity from tetanus • Woman + vaccine = protected baby • US$1.80 protects 1 woman and her future babies
MNT is a disease that affects newborn babies and their mother, and is extremely painful, and even fatal.
PNW KEY CLUB “ELEMONATE CHALLENGE”
Similar to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the PNW District Board has challenged the PNW to eat a ¼ of a lemon and donate $1.80 to help fight MNT.

Your International President Key Club International President Rip Livingston Greetings, Key Club members! Just a few weeks ago, our organization convened in Indianapolis for our annual International Convention alongside Circle K and Kiwanis International as we celebrated Kiwanis’ centennial birthday. It was an unforgettable experience for all, and that week, I was fortunate enough to be elected President of Key Club International. As International President, my job is to lead our organization for the next year; to set the vision of what Key Club is, should be, and will be; to supervise and work with your 11 International Trustees, ensuring that they serve and work with your district properly; to unite all 33 districts under our common mission, and to do everything in my power to leave this organization better than I found it when I leave office in 2016. Key Club has an exciting year ahead of it! We’re entering the last decade of our first 100 years. We’re working everyday to make membership larger, stronger, and an experience that leaves all 270,000 satisfied. As a Key Club member, you’ve chosen to be a part of something greater than yourself. Greater than your home club, your division, or even your district; you’ve chosen to be one of the thousands of hands Key Club International unites for the greater good around the word. As the saying goes, “United we stand; Divided we fall”: Let’s unite, Key Club. We’re a global network of smart, inspired, capable servant leaders. Can you imagine what we can do when we come together? It’s an honor to be your leader this year. I wish you the very best in all of your endeavors this school year Key Club and otherwise and thank you sincerely for being a Key Clubber. Let’s have a fantastic year! Best regards, Rip Livingston President, Key Club International rlivingston@alabamakeyclub.org
and Vice-President Key Club Intern. Vice-President Addie Clipfell Hello Key Clubbers! My name is Addison Clipfell and I’m the 2015-2016 International Vice President. I’m so excited to serve alongside Rip and all of the trustees for the upcoming year. My role as Vice President is often one of ambiguity but I hope to change that this year. This year I will be working on many things including: chairing the Committee for Service and YOF, being a liaison to the Western Canada district, writing a monthly blog, reading governor monthly reports, serving on the executive committee, and much more. If you have any questions about my role this year, please feel free to ask! Some fun facts about me are that I play the violin, I work at Old Navy, I love Sudoku, I have a dog named Roxy, and I absolutely love Key Club. Well, you knew that last one right? I truly hope I can inspire and aid all of you in sparking an enthusiasm for Key Club in your members. This is extremely important to create long lasting connections and it is key to keeping members in the k-family. Also, I hope all of your unique clubs continue to do amazing service in the upcoming year and share that with me along the way! Most importantly I want you to know that while I hold the office of I.V.P, I’m still a regular teenager. I think history is boring, stress about college applications, fan-girl over Fall Out Boy, have a job, and love to serve. I’m just like all of you! I want to be a supporter, a source of encouragement, and a Vice President all wrapped into one. So, with that once again feel free to contact me anytime. My contact info is below. I can’t wait to have an amazing year of service! Addison Clipfell 2015-2016 International Vice President E-mail: addie.clipfell@gmail.com FB: facebook.com/aclipfell
