Children: Their Future, Our Focus

Dear Division 28 Key Clubbers, There are now only 36 days remaining until DCON 2016. Time is moving very quickly, so be sure that you’re ready for DCON! I will be ordering t-shirts and spirit packs very soon, so if you still want one, please let me or your club officers know!

Speaking of preparing yourself for DCON, don’t miss out on the DCON Prep DCMs! It is mandatory that each DCON attendee goes to at least one of these events. At these DCMs, we will be going over what’s happening at DCON 2016, some divisional cheers, passing out spirit gear, getting to know others in our division, and much more!

Many clubs have also had their officer elections in the past month, so congratulations to all the incoming officers!

Remember, you have a difficult but also very rewarding task ahead of you. Being a Key Club officer will allow you to see Key Club in a whole new way, and I know that you’ll enjoy every minute of your term!

In Love and Service, Adam Newton Lieutenant Governor of Division 28

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 45 divisions. Through rain or shine, snow or hail, Key Clubbers in the Pacific Northwest dedicate countless hours to their communities and internationally, and are always Proud 'N' Willing to serve!

UNICEF Since 1994, Key Club has been Trick-orTreating for UNICEF and over the years has raised nearly US$5 million for iodine deficiency programs worldwide and HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya and Swaziland. Now it’s helping the Eliminate Project.

MARCH OF DIMES For decades, Key Club has partnered with the March of Dimes to give every baby a healthy start. Key Club members raise thousands of dollars annually through various programs, including collecting change, holding dances, and taking part in March of Dimes’ signature event, March for Babies.

CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITALS Key Club participates with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals by sponsoring fundraising events. Key Club members also participate in service projects at their local children’s hospital.
