Hey keyuties! I will say this again and again because it is genuinely the truth: it is an honor. It is an honor to be a part of this wonderful organization. It was an honor to serve you, Pullman Key Club, as your secretary this past year. It is an honor to now step from that position into the position of Lieutenant Governor of Division 56, and continue to serve you. It will always be an honor. You have all provided me with an experience that is irreplaceable. You have inspired me to serve endlessly, and through this, I’ve received far more than I would have ever imagined. Key Club has become a huge part of my life, and it’s hard to put the feeling in words, but it’s one that’s allowed me to step out and see that this is something bigger than myself. So thank you. Thank you for working with me this past year. Thank you for your passion for service. I cannot thank you enough. Even though I will no longer be serving with you on the Pullman officer board, I will still be sticking close and serving you at a different level, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions/concerns, or if you just wanna chat! I am so so so excited to see where this new year brings us. Let’s make this an amazing year in service! In love and service, Jane Tang Immediate Past Secretary, Lieutenant Governor of Division 56 PNW Key Club
President – Shyam V. What a year it has been! I had the honor of serving with some of the m most motivated, and strong willed individuals d during my term as PHS Key Club president, and I w will never be able to repay the gratitude that these Key Clubbers have showered me with. The passion that fuels these individuals to serve their communities is unparalleled, and you can look no further than the incoming PHS officer board to see this. I want to wish my successor Andy and his new incoming officer team the best of luck! This board has a killer mentality when it comes to service, and I am sure that they will astound the division (and our District!) with their accomplishments over the next year. Dedication is an integral part of service, and this incoming officer board has not missed a single major service project over their Key Club careers! I can promise you that there is no greater feeling than making a donation to save a life. Programs such as Trick or Treat for UNICEF, and the Kiwanis Children's Cancer Program give all Key Clubbers a direct way of getting to experience this, as our donations save the lives of thousands of children around the world every year. By helping those around us, we help ourselves realize the gift of charitability. I am blessed to have discovered this so early in my life. Thanks to everyone out there, and keep serving! -Shyam
Vice-President – Aasiya I. Dear Pullman Key Club, Wow I honestly cannot believe our terms are over. It really does seem like just last week we were inducted as the new officers, entrusted with the future of our beloved club. A whole year as flown by, and we’ve been through so much together. From our first meetings, first service projects, first DCMs, to having very successful fundraising ventures, raising a few thousand (!!) dollars for our District Project and Preferred Charities. We’ve greatly increased our member participation, to where we doubled our DCON attendance this spring. None of this could have been achieved without you guys. It’s your consistent passion, dedication, and heart for service that never ceases to inspire me to achieve greater. You all made every moment of my officer experience so memorable and fulfilling. Retiring at DCON a little over a month ago was such a bittersweet experience. While I can now look into the future with an open mind, it was hard to leave behind everything we’ve come to work for this past year. I will forever be grateful for everything Pullman Key Club has given me in high school, everything you guys have taught me. Through our ups and downs, you guys have made my journey worth it. Thus, I thank you all for everything. To my board of fellow officers, we’ve all come so far, and I’m so proud to have served alongside you guys. I’m really looking forward to watching this new board of officers grow and continue to achieve the best for our club, because I know everything that they accomplish will be astounding. Heh I’ve been procrastinating in writing this letter because this goodbye will be one of the hardest, but I’ll leave you with one last thought: “Saying goodbye doesn’t mean anything. It’s the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it". I will always cherish our memories made together. Now here’s to making new ones :’) In Love and Service, Aasiya Islam, Immediate Past Vice-President
Editor – Allison H. Hey guys! It has truly been an honor serving as your 2016-2017 club editor. Thank you so much for being a club worth doing more for. Each and every one of you has been such an inspiration to me as a member, and I hope that each of you takes inspiration from those around you as well. There is a lot to get out of key club, but it all only comes to those who put a lot into key club. Please expand, grow, and learn from key club in whatever way you believe best suits you because it truly is a once in a lifetime experience. It's not everyday you get to be a part of the largest studentled organization in the world, much less be given the opportunity to expand even further, so please, don't let anything pass you by, and never stop making an effort to change the world, one key at a time. Thank you all so much for everything, I hope you enjoyed it at least half as much as I did.

Treasurer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Briana Z. First and foremost, I owe you Key Clubbers a great big thank you for allowing me for be the Treasurer for this next upcoming year. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity and I won't forget that it was you guys that made it happen. Since joining Key Club in my freshman year, I've grown to enjoy it so much more than I thought I would. It has become one of the biggest parts of my life, and with this position I am hoping to give back for all that it has given me. For the upcoming year, I am very excited to be able to work closely with you guys as well as the other officers to bring new ideas and improvements. Whatever trials and tribulations this next year may bring, I am looking forward to working through them with you guys, the members, to create the best possible Key Club.
Editor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chris Park Hey Keyclubbers! I am more than excited to serve as your Club Editor for this term. My goal entering the Officer Board was that I wanted to take what I loved doing, and applying it towards Key Club to better our community. Key Club has truly inspired me to open my heart to our community and it has really flipped my life around. Before Key Club, my look on our environment was really simple. By becoming an Officer, I really hope that by doing what I really love, which is photography, I look forward to influence others on what Key Club really is. Everything I envisioned with Key Club when I first joined has been met, I and truly want others to feel the same way. I look forward to bring the potential of this club to its best! In love and service, Chris Park
