Hello Division 28 Key Clubbers! Now that it’s August, it’s officially the “Sunday of Summer” and you know what that means? It’s the last month to spend away with late night food runs, roasting marshmallows, beach days, and late night bonfires. But August is also the month before school starts, so that means it’s time to get ready for your first meeting of the year by getting trained at your local rally – Seattle Rally! If you did not attend Seattle Rally this year and you are an officer, please let me know ASAP so I figure out an officer training conference (OTC) sometime before the school year starts. There’s not much to say but to enjoy the last month of Summer 2014, and be sure to continue serving the your community and for the children of the world! In Love and Service,
Jenna Liang Lieutenant Governor of Division 28

KEY CLUB 101 // PAC
CIFIC NORTH(BEST) DISTRICT In the midst of serene nature and fluctuating weather conditions lies the great Pacific Northwest District (PNW). The Pacific Northwest is geographically the largest district of Key Club International. The district spans from western Canada to northern California; with Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and the pan-handle of Idaho in between. The Pacific Northwest encompasses nearly 1.8 million square miles and includes over 300 clubs that operate under 44 divisions. Through rain or shine, snow or hail, Key Clubbers in the PNW dedicate countless hours to their communities and international, and we are always Proud ‘N’ Willing to serve!
SEAT On August 4th, Key Clubbers all over the PNW met in the Seattle area to celebrate The Magical World of Service – Seattle Rally 2014! Division 28 Key Clubbers were active in forums, showed D28 spirit in spirit battles, and met a bunch of new friends! From workshops such as officer training to You Toucan Bee Less Awkward, members were able to learn a lot throughout the entire day!
TTLE RALLY 2014 RECAP
LETTER FROM YOUR INTER Hey, Pacific-Northwest! My name is Tashrima Hossain, and I’d like to introduce myself as the new International Trustee for your district. It is such an honor to be in your service, primarily by ensuring that your voices are heard at the international level during the upcoming year. I’m excited to join the PNW moose; I’ve already received so much enthusiasm from the Board, I’ve heard many great things about PNW, and I can’t wait to see all the great achievements your district has in store. To let you know a little about myself, I am from Cypress, Texas, which is a suburban area adjacent to the Houston border. In addition to Key Club, I devote much of my time to debate and Student Council— which often leaves with very little time for sleep! As a result, I’m a bit of a grandma, and I like spending much of my free time sleeping, reading, or just hanging out with friends. For those of you who would like to know more about my duties as International Trustee, I have a few basic responsibilities: attending International Board meetings, participating in a maximum of two district visits, and acting as a representative of the international level of Key Club. In addition, Governor Lisa and I completed a GovernorTrustee agreement, which identified the main expectations Lisa has of me, as your district’s
RNATIONAL TRUSTEE Trustee; many of said goals revolve around constant communication and building positive Sister District relations—all of which are means to ensure that I effectively represent your views on the international level. Additionally, I serve with Jenalee Beazley, Rip Livingston, Liz Moore, and Nicole Lema on the Growth and Communications Committee. There, we predominantly focus on fostering a connection between advisors and Kiwanis clubs, making Key Club a school-wide name, creating a “cool factor” for Key Club, empowering local clubs to publicize their work, creating a strategic growth plan for KCI, and creating an annual club census. We already have a very specific set of goals and action steps for the first quarter; I plan to update you all with any progress in that arena. During my term, I will stay committed to the goals I campaigned with, but more than that, I intend to actively serve as a resource for you all. If you have questions about amendments, elections, service, or general Key Club knowledge, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here as a resource, friend, and assistant in any way you may need. Call me, email me, Facebook me— I’m always ready to lend a hand.
