Children: Their Future, Our Focus

Hello Division 28 Key Clubbers, It’s already November! I don’t know about you, but this school year has been flying by for me. The holiday season is approaching quickly, and with it comes a lot of service opportunities! There are unfortunate people can’t always celebrate the holidays together, so I encourage you to reach out to local organizations to make someone else’s holiday that much better. By either volunteering at food banks or homeless shelters, or donating any extra food you may have this Thanksgiving, that can easily make a difference in someone else’s holiday season.

Another important event coming up in November is Skate To Eliminate! It will be a joint project with Division 26, and with only the admission price of $10, you can help eliminate MNT. This will be a very significant event, so be sure you can attend! I hope to see you there!

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

Lieutenant-Governor Election

???

2016-2017

As DCON approaches in March, Division 28 will have an LTG election rally in which the next LTG for the 2016-2017 year will be chosen. The candidate will be elected in a caucus by a group of two voting delegates per school in the division. During the election rally, you will have the opportunity to hear the candidates’ speeches, ask them questions, and ultimately elect the next LTG. If you are considering running, contact me through Facebook or email ASAP to let me know.

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the position and the election rally.

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.
