A message from your

Lieutenant Governor Elmira Hello Division 74! The last 30 days have been extremely busy for our division between shifting duties over to the new officers, raising money for Eliminate week, planning summer projects, and setting goals for the next year. In the midst of all these tasks, I have had the privilege of visiting every active Key Club in our wonderful division during the past month. The talent, spirit, and motivation that I have witnessed at your meetings proves to me that this is going to be an awesome year! I have had a chance to visit with many of the newly elected officers personally as well and I can tell that they are a group of hardworking, motivated students willing to do great things! I am proud to be working with such a gifted group of leaders. Keep up the good work!

The first monthly Divisional Counsel meeting was a great success. I had the opportunity to meet with some wonderful members, discuss upcoming events, play hilarious icebreaker games, and watch all of you get to know each other. I can’t wait for the May DCM! (There’s more info on that on page 9) The very first month of my term as LtG has been absolutely incredible! Every day I am more proud of you guys and more excited for this awesome year! Remember; you will have an opportunity every day to do something wonderful for someone else, and it’s these small acts of kindness that make a difference in the world.

The Eliminate project MNT kills one baby every 5 minutes. $1.80 can vaccinate a mother and all of her future babies from this horrible-yet preventable-disease

With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.

This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

Key Club has been helping raise money for the UNICEF since 1994 and our goal is to ELIMINATE MNT from the entire world by 2015.

A letter from our International Trustee

What Makes Key Club Unique?

Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world, but what makes it so special and what enables it to continue to grow? It can’t be the ability to volunteer because no matter where you go, you can find a way to give back to your community. You can even volunteer globally through UNICEF, Rustic Pathways, and other worldwide organizations. What makes Key Club is different from every other organization out there is the tight-knit community that it creates between people who live on opposite sides of a city, a state, a nation, or the world.

To fully seize the opportunities that Key Club provides high school students, it’s important for everyone to be involved with their divisions, their district, and international.

You can get involved with Key Club International by attending Key Club events, joining social media sites that are created to link together Key Clubbers from all over the world, and talking to your district leaders! In terms of the division, your Lieutenant Governor should be having Divisional Council Meetings every so often in order to bring the entire division together. Your division is composed of the schools around you that have Key Clubs. At these meetings, take advantage of the close distance between you and the other Key Clubbers in attendance. Arrange meet-ups, socials, and joint volunteer projects to increase your impact on your community and meet people who you otherwise would have not had the chance to meet!

In terms of your district, the Pacific Northwest District is composed of all of the Key Clubs in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon, as well as some of the clubs in western Idaho, northern California, and Canada. There are rallies in the summer for all Key Clubbers in a specific region to attend and meet new people. At these rallies, you’re bound to have an amazing time while also learning about Key Club International through educational forums. Each year, PNW also hosts District Convention: an exciting weekend in which Key Clubbers from all over the district unite to celebrate the end of a wonderful year of service and prepare for the next one. If you have the chance to attend District Convention, I highly recommend it!

Yours in service,

Roshni Chandwani International Trustee Roshni.chandwani.kc@gmail.com
