Hello Division 32! My name is Ashley Villanueva and I am grateful for this opportunity to serve this amazing division as Lieutenant Governor of the 20162017 year. I’m currently a sophomore at Kentlake High School and served as Immediate Past Vice President of my home club. At DCON 2016, we recently celebrated one full year of service; all 2,000 of us PNW District Key Clubbers gathered together to gain new perspective from each other, elect a new Executive Board, learn how to better our own home clubs, show the spirit and enthusiasm through spirit battles, and most importantly, celebrate the shared passion for this incredible organization. Hopefully each and very one of you are ready to start this new year filled with service, hard-work, effort, and time as you all change your community and the world for the better. I’m ready for this new year as I fill in all the shoes of the past Lieutenant Governors who have all done an outstanding job leading this division throughout the years. Thank you all for believing in me, and let’s grow and strengthen ourselves as leaders together! In Caring and Service,
Ashley Villanueva Lieutenant Governor of Division 32 Pacific Northwest District E: ashleyvillanueva.ltg32@gmail.com

A letter from KimAnh Tran… Dear Dragons! “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” This quote is the same one I emphasized during my election when I became Lieutenant Governor. As I reflected on the past year, I realized that to me my goals was not only to get those awards or the spirit stick, but to do the small things to get there and genuinely do what we do because we love Key Club and serving others. I wanted to create an environment where Division 32 was united and open hearted to one another. Every time new members come to a DCM and meet so many wonderful people who make them feel welcome, it makes me feel like Division 32 is not like any other division. We have servant leadership, caring, and all the core values that make us who we are. Amazingly toasty! It breaks my heart to admit that my term is over, but I know that wherever I may be, I will continue to serve. Serve my home, school, and community, as I take what I have learned in Key club and expand it to the world around me. Key Club is not just an organization, but a way of life. And I thank this division for being part of my Journey. Yours always in caring, love, and service. Kim A. Tran Immediate-Past Lieutenant Governor of Division 32 Pacific Northwest District kimtran.ltg@gmail.com 4254429530

Welcome our 2016-2 District Governor
Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers, My name is Juliet Yu and I’m your 2016-2017 District Governor. I am both honored and thrilled to serve alongside the PNW District Board and with caring leaders like you! Being apart of Key Club has been one of the best experiences in my life and I can’t wait to continue this in our Pacific Northwest District! For our journey together, I truly believe this year will be one of the greatest the Pacific Northwest District has ever seen. By taking the steps of Service, Unity and a Kiwanis Family plan, we will see the heart of Key Club, connection of our district, and reminders of our past/inspirations for our future. One of my mottos in life is “We over Me.” We together are equals in creating an impact and change for this year and beyond. It’s not about me, myself or I. We are all Key Clubbers with passion of calling Key Club our adventure. So please feel free to message me anytime via email, Facebook message or phone on any questions you have or if you want to talk. In love and service,
Juliet Yu

Hello PNW!

My name is Audrey Chow and I am your 2016 - 2017 District Editor. As an avid Key Clubber and a bit of a Photoshop geek, I am beyond excited to serve in a position where I am able to capture and curate your hard work in our district newsletter, THE ESPRESSO. I plan on publishing four seasonal publications during my term, in addition to making divisional newsletters more accessible for the rest of the district. With the spirit and eagerness to serve still buzzing from DCON, I am confident that great days are ahead of us. Work together, lend a hand where you can, and show the world that you are “Proud ‘N’ Willing to Serve!” Also, if you ever need help or you just want to talk, don’t be afraid to say hello. Especially you, bulletin editors! In Service and Compassion,
Audrey Chow

2017 Executive Board My name is Bryan Lee and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve you as your District Treasurer for the 2016-17 term. My goal this year is to serve and increase connection with Lieutenant Governors and you, the members. Through my quarterly Treasurer newsletters, I hope to provide you the opportunity to learn and engage with the District. Similarly, I look to increase contact with your Lt.Gs to ensure they have the information necessary to help you. Throughout these past 3 years, I have had the opportunity to personally serve at every level in Key Club up to the District, and one message that has never lost strength is the importance of assisting the members. If you have any questions this year, don’t hesitate to contact me: I’m still a Key Club member like you, and I’m only a message away. In Caring and Service,
Bryan Lee

Greetings Pacific Northwest District,
In Love and Service,

Convention chair
I'm Amy Hung and I will be your Convention Chair for the 2016-2017 service year. Through my experiences, I plan to make DCON 2017 an even greater DCON than the year before. A goal of mine for Convention is to increase attendance and to strengthen workshops for all attendees. From serving as a member, club officer, Convention Aide, and now Convention Chair, I have learned that us Key Clubbers, all have the same objective. We all work together to make a difference in our home, schools, and communities. Like the great Troy Bolton once said, “we’re all in this together!” If you have questions about this upcoming District Convention, please feel free to contact me through Facebook, text, call, or email!

International and District Board Hi, PNW Key Clubbers! My name is Rip Livingston, and I am currently serving as your International President for the 2015-2016 year.
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?
Intl. President Rip Livingston
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,
Intl. Vice President Addison Clipfell
