A letter from your 2014-2015 Lt. Governor! Hey Key Clubbers! I am SO excited to be starting my term as your 2014-2015 Lieutenant Governor. This year is going to be a blast! It is truly an honor to serve such an amazing division. With all the energy and enthusiasm I saw at DCON, I can honestly say I’m stoked about meeting you all! I want to tell you guys a little about myself since we’re going to be one big family! I just turned 17 and I’m currently a junior at the Delta High School. For those of you who don’t know, Delta is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) high school. So, I think you can guess what my favorite subject it! Delta doesn’t have any sports or music programs, so I’m an active member of the bands at Pasco High instead! I play Alto Saxophone in marching band and Trombone in jazz band. I joined Key Club at the beginning of my sophomore year, and it has truly been a life changing experience. If you were to meet the person I was before I got into key club, you wouldn’t recognize me at all. I was always the shy girl, and I HATED meeting new people and talking in front of the class. Key club taught me about who I really was through caring and support from the officers. At the end of that year, I ran for president and became the president of Delta’s Key Club! I can’t wait to meet you all! Let’s stay connected! Bailey Duran Email: Baileyduran54@gmail.com Phone: (509) 851-4670 Division 54 lieutenant Governor

Farewell from your immediate past Lt. G Dear division 54 key clubbers, I am now your immediate PAST Lieutenant Governor. Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to serve you, and our community. My term had flown by so quickly but I am honored to have been able to serve our division and be a part of such a passionate, caring, group of people. I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without all of your help and devotion; thank you for everything. I am so very grateful to have been able to experience serving as Lieutenant governor and to be able to meet as may passionate key clubbers I have had the privilege of meeting. My term is over, but my devotion to service and my love for Key Club will always continue. Thank you for letting me humbly lead you this past year, it has been my pleasure.

So what’s new? Paw Prints! I plan on starting a point system for our division! These “points” will be called paw prints. WHY: The points will represent your club’s progress in your community and school. (Leaving your PRINT, get it?) HOW TO GET THEM: Service projects, attendance at DCMs, division contribution, Key Club sprit, etc., I’ll be contacting you all with a complete list on how to get paw prints!

Dear Pacific Northwest District, The ending of District Convention is always hard, but it also marks the beginning of another Key Club year and another year of service. If you have not already met me I am Lisa Antonio, and I am honored to have the chance to serve as your District Governor for the next year. I am privileged to be leading such a diverse and enthusiastic district and I am excited to start building upon our strengths and creating new solutions for our district’s weaknesses. In this upcoming year I want to focus on clubs and members. I want to make sure clubs are thriving and increasing not only membership, but active membership. I want each club member to know the District Board is there to serve the members. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email, Facebook, or phone! Hey PNW Key Clubbers!

I cannot express how honored I am to be planning a convention for the best Key Clubbers in the world. With that said, I ensure you that I will work my hardest to make the 66th Annual DCON the very best! I hope to make you guys proud – so start your countdowns! Please know that I am open to suggestions, questions, comments, etc. so feel free to contact me!
Meet the new Executive Board Hi, everyone. My name’s Ik Hoon Jung from Southridge High School in Beaverton, OR (Div. 65), and I’m excited beyond words to serve as your District Secretary. I’ve been an enthusiastic member of Key Club since freshman year, and it is truly a dream come true to be in this great position. I hope my term can bring about great positive personal growth in both myself and other Key Clubbers, and I won’t let you down! Hello Key Clubbers! My name is Aneesh Pappu and I am the incoming District Treasurer. I am so honored and grateful to serve you all for the 2014-2015 term and I look forward to what we will accomplish together! One of my main goals is to actively educate club treasurers so that dues collection is easy and efficient for all clubs in our district. I also plan to effectively monitor the budget of the board and to oversee all fundraising efforts for the district project this year. In addition, I intend to play a very active role in working with growth committees on the district board to increase membership within our district. I want you all to know that I am always available to assist you with any and all problems that you may have in your clubs. Feel free to give me a call anytime, even if you just want to chat, and add me on Facebook! I look forward to meeting you all this year. Hey Pacific Northwest Key Clubbers! This coming year for our district is going to be a legendary one, and it’s an honor to be a part of it as your 2014-2015 District Editor. I’m so excited to be involved in your newsletters and giving THE ESPRESSO, our district newsletter, the publicity it deserves. I will make it as inclusive, informative, and exciting as possible. This position combines my love for service and design and I can say confidently that this year, not only will we Key Clubbers feel good, but we will also look good in all of the publications in our district!
