Hello Division 34!

I’m so excited for what this year will bring us all!

Once again, I would like to thank you all for electing me as your 2016-2017 Lieutenant Governor. Having this position gave me the chance to serve key club as a bigger role and represent the most amazing division ever! As Lieutenant Governor, I will make sure to serve you all and fulfill my duties. Don’t be afraid to ask me any questions; I am open to any feedback, ideas, questions you may have for me and/or the division! I know not a lot of you know more about me other than Lieutenant Governor of Division 34 and I want to make a goal of us all being as close as a family, don’t be scared to message me or others you may not know in our division! Even though Key club is all about service, it’s also about stepping out of your comfort zone. We’re all a team and as a team, we won’t succeed unless we work together. I can’t wait to share my ideas to you all to help our division build up into the most mightiest shark, until then, I hope to see you all soon!

In Love and Service, Brittney Tran Lieutenant Governor of Division 34 (253) 292-8606 Brittney.ltgd34@gmail.com

What's poppin Sharks!

My name is Shayla Trinh and it is my honor to announce that I'll be your 20162017 executive assistant. For those who don't know me, I am currently a Junior at Lincoln High School. I like to eat Slim Jims, play tennis, and make corny jokes that may or may not make you laugh!

As an Executive Assistant, it is my duty to attend all the DCMs, Rally's, and school visits alongside with our LTG, Brittney Tran. Feel free to stop me at anytime during these events to say hi, talk about life, or to even take a selfie. As we go through the year caring for our home, school, and community I'll be Brittney's right hand man to aid her and answer any questions you may still have pertaining to something that was made unclear to you. I don't ever bite so don't be afraid to slide into my DMs, communication is key and I will guarantee you that I will respond back to your messages within the day!

Executive Assistant, Shayla Trinh

Hey sharks, how do you feel?

Hello Division 34,

Hopefully good! Anyways, what I hope to bring to the table as your co-editor is someone who is well organized, task oriented, and obviously who is an expertise at photoshop. My goal is to make sure our division's photos are fintastic! As your 2016-2017 divisional co-editor, I'll definitely follow through.

I’m so excited to be your new Divisional Editor! If you guys don’t know, my name is Ken and I am Vice President of Mount Tahoma’s Key Club. One of my goals as Divisional Editor is to get to know you all. As the school year is coming to an end, rallies and more dcm’s are coming up! I will be attending all of the events (hopefully) and bond with you – also, taking pictures :^). Hope to meet you all!

District Governor Juliet Yu

District Treasurer Bryan Lee

Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers,

Hey 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 his year will be one of the greatest the Pacific Northwest District had ever seen, By taking the steps of Service, Unity and a Kiwanis Family plan, we will see the heart of Key Club, connection of out 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.

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.

District Editor

Convention Chair

Audrey Chow

Amy Hung

Hello PNW,

Greetings Pacific Northwest District,

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!

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!

In Service and Compassion, Audrey Chow Pacific Northwest District Editor Key Club International (604) 831-0101 audreychow.pnweditor @gmail.com

International President Rip Livingston 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?

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 Rip Livingston

FAREWELL ANGELA! Thank you Angela for everything you’ve done for this division! You worked and cared for this division so much, I wish you the best of luck in the near future!

You’re such an amazing role model to look up to and I’m so proud to call you my outtie!

A GOODBYE LETTER FROM ANGELA:

Hi Division 34, It was a great year and I couldn't have asked for a better team. Thank you to the individuals who came to the DCMS and made me smile. Who read my newsletter and found the ducks. Who welcomed me at the club visits and responded to my emails. But overall thank you to each member I met. Key Club was already a pivotal influence in my life, but after this term, I learned that there's so much more to Key Club and the people I met are what makes it special. So thank you. At DCON I was so proud of everyone. At caucusing and house of delegates you really showed that yes we are a model division and helped decide the future of the district. At opening and closing session, not only did we show our spirit but we were respectful! And Lincoln was able to represent by winning the non-digital poster award! I hope you give the same love to Brittney and make next year even stronger. Many of you will be going off to college. I know you'll be doing great things. Others still have a few years left in their key club experience. Treasure it.

I'll still be around at DCMS so if you ever want to talk, I'll be there.

But if not, I'm only a screen away! For one last time (for real this time), thank you for making this year amazing and I love each and every one of you. In Caring and Service and always a shark, Angela Shin Immediate Past Lieutenant Governor
