Hey there Division 26, The term has started and we’re going strong! The DCM had a great turnout! If you couldn’t make it, look out for the next DCM! In this newsletter we will briefly discuss goals, show recaps, and announcements for future fun is in the near sight! Thank you to everybody that showed up to the DCM. I know it wasn’t ideal for everybody to come out so early, so I just wanted to say I’m sorry once again. AP tests are a bit crazy right now, but look forward to the DCM and future plans for the Division! In Love and Service, Anthony Lu

Divisional Goals
B
e loud and proud. We are Division 26 and we need to show the whole
district and world that we are the mighty majestic, and mystical Unicorns. I will be working on cheers and ways to revamp our division within the spirit. Hopefully next year, the Unicorns will take home the spirit stick!
E
volve, /expand what I mean is that I want us to grow and prosper. We are one
of the biggest divisions and some things have not been met. I will try my best to help officers get the proper training and help the members attend DCMs. In order to evolve, you need put in 100% - this means coming to DCMs, asking questions, and being open to learning. So let’s grow together by learning to have a growth mindset. I will also be working closely with the Divisional Officers to charter more schools to make the Unicorn Family even bigger
T
each, essentially if it weren’t for you all there wouldn’t be a Division 26. I
want to help boost the membership to 600 this year, but how I will do this is by teaching you all correctly, and you will then relay this information to incoming freshmen. Freshmen are our next generation, so it’s important that we have them join!

Hey PNW District Key Clubbers, I’m Tiffany Wong and am thrilled to be serving you all as your District Secretary. Since stepping into Key Club, I’ve always strived to establish personal connections with each individual. It’s a value that I continue carrying on today, and I hope to provide connection and communication for every secretary. My goals are to recognize secretaries on a monthly basis for their continuous efforts, to share advice and tips for officers, and to provide higher platforms of member input all over the district. Serving as a friend, not as a superior, has always been my focus, and I hope to continue that idea in what I do. I’m excited to work with you as friend who can assist you in any way possible, so please never hesitate to contact me! In Caring and Service, Tiffany Wong District Secretary Key Club International 206.317.9146 tiffanywong.pnwsec@gmail.com

Greetings PNW! I'm Georgia Cato and I am honoured to be serving as your Kiwanis Family Relations Director for the 2016-2017 term. With the Five-Year Plan already in full motion, my goal is to further strengthen the connection between all the branches of Kiwanis. With implementing more interclubs throughout the district, this will create and ensure the strong bond we have with our Kiwanis Family. Above all, you will be able to connect with other Student Leadership Programs who all root themselves with the genuine satisfaction that comes from service. I've already encountered many enthusiastic executives and motivated members, so with this strong team of dynamic Key Clubbers, we can work together to create the best this district has ever seen. If you have any questions or just want to talk, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. In Caring and In Service, Georgia Cato K-Family Relations Director

Hello there my fellow PNW District Key Clubbers, Stella Gonzalez is the name and Key Club is my game. Service is something I have always valued over all other traits and I am very excited to serve as your Membership Growth and Reactivation Director for this upcoming year. Even though my title may seem long, convoluted and frivolous I assure you that my job is to help you guys make all of your jobs easier. My role will be to help charter new clubs, reactivate suspended or inactive clubs, and to generally oversee the growth of our very own Key Club family. Yes, I have a goal in mind to the amount of key clubbers I would like our district to achieve this year; but what is more important to me are the kind of people and personality traits we are adding into our district. The words you will hear from me a lot are -”quality over quantity” and that is a personal philosophy of mine that I think will apply well into the PNW District. I am so happy for this opportunity and extend the invitation for anyone to reach out to me if you have any ideas, concerns, input, etc. you would like to be heard. Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me. With Love and Service, Stella Gonzalez PNW District Membership Growth and Reactivation Director
What’s Poppin PNW? My name is Kyra DelaChica and I am excited to announce that I will be serving as your 16/17 District Projects Director! My job as Projects Director is to help fundraise and educate you guys on our upcoming district project (TBA)! One of my main goals as P.D. is to get direct information from the leaders of the organization and meet personally with those affected by this project so that you all will be able to see how much we can really change the lives of others. By working with Audrey and the rest of the board, I hope to create fun informational videos/resources for you all to use to not only learn more about it, but also teach others too! I am so honored to have been appointed as P.D. and can’t wait to meet you all at the summer rallies and next year’s DCON! If you have any questions about my role as projects director or would like to talk to a friend, feel free to email or message me any time. With Love and Service, June Kyra DelaChica PNW Districts Projects Director Key Club International
