HELLO!

a message from your LTG Hey Key Clubbers! I'm Crystal Choi, your newly elected Lieutenant Governor for the 2017-2018 Key Club year and I can't express with words how ecstatic I am to be working with you all this year! Although this is only my first year in Key Club, I have already fallen in love with the amazing and caring community this organization has proven to be! Through the few short months I've spent carrying out duties as an LTG, I've realized how much of a blessing it is to be involved in Key Club as it not only provides students a community to serve with, but gives them an opportunity to grow in leadership and develop critical skills for life beyond high school. After much reflection and inspiration from fellow Lt. Governors, my goal this year for Division 30 is to improve communication, increase awareness about the bigger picture of Key Club and promote unity within the division. A daunting task it may seem, but I'm up for the challenge if you are! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to serve you and I truly just wish that all of you will be able to develop, the passion for our community that key club has given me. I look forward to meeting all of you in person very soon!

bittersweet goodbye...

Immediate Past Division 30 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International Lieutenant Governor (Just when we thought that title couldn’t get any longer) T/C: (253) 426-0499 E: saraharcher99@gmail.com

Hey Key Clubbers! DCON 2017 has officially come to a close, and with the bittersweet momentum of spring, so has my term. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again- serving as your Lieutenant Governor has been one of the most eye opening, inspiring, and motivating experiences of my high school career. I spent the majority of my term working to unite our division the best I could, I was able to build a platform from which our new Lt.G is able to soar. I am both humbled and honored to have Crystal become my “innie” and more importantly, your new Lt.G. I always assumed the transition from District Board back to member would be difficult. After putting in countless hours working to build our division it seems only natural to find difficulty in saying goodbye, yet that couldn’t be further from the truth. Did I cry on stage in front of thousands of Key Clubbers? Yes. Yet I am nothing more than genuinely excited to see where Crystal takes our division and to watch each of you build and grow your home clubs to meet their full potential. Thank you for supporting me throughout my term, I wouldn’t be here without you Division 30. In Love & Service

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

Hey Jellyfish! I am so excited to be serving you as Executive Assistant on the divisional board. Through Key Club, I found my passion for service and hope I can inspire others to do the same. One of my goals this year is to improve our communication system and help everyone stay better connected. Aside from Key Club, I also enjoy sleeping, listening to music, playing with dogs, finding bargains on clothing, making puns, and of course, volunteering. Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions, concerns, or even a good pun. I would love to hear them and look forward to meeting you all soon! In love and service, Diane Le

Hello Division 30, I am extremely excited to be serving as one of the Executive Assistants for 2017-2018.One of my favorite sayings is â&#x20AC;&#x153; New year, New Start". For me this reminds me that every year is a new chance to learn and grow. I hope to be able to grow with our Division as well as be able to learn from each other. Some other things about me are that I am in Key Club, Book Club, band and track & field. I am also an incoming Junior at White River High school. With love and service, Katelyn Wagener

WELCOME TO CONVENTION WE'RE REALLY GLAD YOU CAME 68TH ANNUAL CONVENTION IS GONNA BE INSANE!

PATRICE LUONG My time at DCON was more fun than I anticipated because I wasn't expecting every single person to be involved and be energetic. I loved that about DCON, and I want to bring the spirit back here. The times were all well spent, from opening session with spirit gear from hilarious comedians to inspirational speakers. DCON is something you must experience because it will change your view on so many things..

JAMIE KIM Although I've only been to two DCONs including this year's, this DCON was the best key club related gathering I've been to! I met people who were in our division through spirit and sessions. But because this was my last DCON as well, it was a little sad to think I wouldn't be back to meet these new friends next year. But overall, I don't think my last DCON could've gone any better!

REESCE ANSELMI Ummm... Okay let's see. My DCON experience was a lot of fun because not only did I get to bond with my fellow officers and key clubbers, but it was also amazing to see how much school and club spirit and pride everyone had. I learned a lot of useful tips for running our club during the workshops, and finished out DCON with a great time at the dance. I can't wait to go again next year.

INTRODUCING YOUR 201 District Governor: Dmitri Saberi Hello, PNW! My name is Dmitri Saberi, and I am so honored and excited to be serving as your 2017-2018 District Governor. Key Club is an organization that is not just capable of creating incredible opportunities- it is capable of changing lives. I have definitely had a life-changing three years of service, and am looking forward to another amazing year! Through my experience as a member, Lieutenant Governor, and now, a District Governor, I have gotten the opportunity to see Key Club from several different angels. What all those perspectives had in common was their focus; making a positive impact on those around us. My core plan as District Governor is centered around that, and I hope that we can create that impact as a District this year. But throughout my term, please keep in my mind that I am also a member just like you. Never hesitate to shoot me a text, email, or message with questions, concerns, or if you just want to talk! I am always here for you all, and one of the most rewarding parts of Key Club for me is connecting with you guys. Thanks so much, and I look forward to seeing you, talking to you, and working with you throughout the year! In love and service, Dmitri Saberi

District treasurer: brain nguyen Hello PNW District Key Clubbers! My name is Brian Nguyen and I am thrilled to be serving as your District Treasurer for the 2017-2018 Key Club term. I can’t wait to connect with all of you and bring our district to greater heights! Some of my goals for this term is to continue serving our communities and increase communication with you, the members, to ensure financial transparency. I hope to educate and update you all through my quarterly Treasurer Snapshots, which will have information that will help you increase your club’s financial success. This will be my fourth and final year in Key Club. Before serving as District Treasurer, I was honored to have the opportunity to serve as a Lieutenant Governor and Divisional Executive Assistant. The most important thing I’ve learned during my Key Club journey is that the members are the core of our district, and assisting you in any way possible will continue to keep us as the Pacific NorthBEST! If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk, feel free to contact me at any time. In the end, I’m just another Key Clubber who’s eager to serve the community and meet new people! In care and service, Brian Nguyen

17-2018 DISTRICT BOARD District Secretary: Ashley Villanueva Hello hello, PNW! My name is Ashley Villanueva and I am both humbled and honored to be serving as your District Secretary for the 2017-2018 service year. Key Club has given hundreds of thousands of high schoolers across the globe the opportunity to be a part of a something much greater than they thought—the largest student-led service organization in the world. Because of this, we have all been impacted through the power of service. And this is what motivates me to not only serve you as a District Board member, but to connect, assist, and relate to you in any way possible! As I am entering my last year in Key Club, I hope to utilize my past experiences as club vice president and lieutenant governor, to the best of my ability while serving as District Secretary by increasing the bonds, communication, and voices heard around the district, while simultaneously being the support system to secretaries and ultimately the members. It may seem daunting to think about the “Executive Board” and the hierarchy of Key Club, but honestly, no title or position will define how we are all a part of the 270,000+ members in Key Club International. Keeping this in mind, you will hear or see this a lot by supposed “higher-ups”, but we really do mean it when we say to not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have. Reach me through text, email, social media, or snail mail! Thank you for reading! I look forward to working with the rest of the District Board to ensure that you have a fun and successful service year. In Caring and Service, Ashley Villanueva

District editor: kaho otake Hello Pacific Northwest! My name is Kaho Otake (Yes, it does start with K, just like Key Club) and I am beyond honored and humbled to be serving as your 2017-2018 District Editor! While I may not be a familiar face to everyone, I, along with rest of the Executive Board, am Proud N’ Willing to Serve each and every one of you. For the past three years, Key Club has been a central part of my life: it taught me the value of service, perseverance through obstacles, and commitment to a cause. This year, my goal is to connect I, myself, to U, through inviting, informing, inspiring, and uniting all members. I can't wait give the attention and publicity that the Espresso deserves, and I hope you are just as excited. You can usually find me at Key Club events, camera in hand - so, don’t hesitate to say hi! Thank you! In Love and Service, Kaho Otake
